Reminds me of the illegal oil trade. Once you mix the good with the bad and put it on the market, who can tell the difference.

Better yet, other than the farmer that's stolen from, who would actually care?
My ex was found not guilty for driving while suspended (he didn't know at the time). They took about $45 of his bail money to cover it, and this was back in the late 90's.
It's not actually illegal in the US to pass the processing fee to the customer, it's just against the contract you have to sign to get a merchant account. I don't know if the EU has a law or regulation prohibiting such contracts, but it seems possible.
Nothing really bad yet. Allegedly Russians spear-phished user accounts of some people involved in the election, possibly stole documents and theoretically could attempt using this access to social engineer them into misconfiguring voting systems, installing malicious firmwares etc. but there is no evidence that they tried.

A Secretive Intelligence Agency, a High-Flying Contractor- And a Big Data Breach
I'd urge you to explore some other great cities like Nashville, Minneapolis, Chicago, Austin, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Denver and all the suburbs and even small towns surrounding them.

You're so hung up on the CEO thing which is irrelevant. We don't need more CEOs just like we don't need more lawyers and doctors. And you mention doctors - those are needed in any town of size anyway. My own grandfather was a doctor in a rather small town outside of Little Rock and he did very well for himself and sent 4 kids to college, one to med school. His son is doing the same thing now as a doctor in Memphis.

The American Dream is alive and well: it's just changed. It's no longer "graduate college, get a good job, buy a home and be set for retirement"

Too many people just aren't adapting and are frustrated because they are sinking themselves with poor decisions like crippling debt.

I know people w 200k school debt that graduated with degrees targeting jobs that tap out at around 80k that are way more competitive than any tech or marketing occupation. Makes no sense.

My uncle makes 100+k selling tools out of a town of 6k people. My father in law makes 150k+ in HVAC out of a suburb of about 50k people. They both own their homes outright. One didn't go to college.

People don't want to learn general crafts like sales and they don't want to learn crafts that get their hands dirty. Their parents keep pushing them into college which provides less and less value and tons of debt.

The American Dream doesn't go away just because less people are realizing it. It goes away because people are being stubborn and we have a nation of financially ignorant and wreckless citizens.
> It's hard to do meaningful diffs and merging needed for revision control.

That's because existing revision control tools are specifically designed for textual languages, therefore unsuited to graphical ones. There's no reason why graphical equivalents can't be implemented.
History of American law school, and Canadian because Canada follows America's lead more than Britain's. Every other nation/legal system has law textbooks, what are called hornbooks in American law schools as primary texts. The idea that the law can actually be reasoned about socratically is... strange. Precedent and path dependence are huge parts of the law. And the law doesn't change quickly. If you read a UK law textbook there will be references aplenty to cases from the 1800s, more from more recent times but the law is actually remarkably stable.

Harvard's case system didn't spread because it was better as a method of legal education, it spread because one of the most prestigious college in North America started using it and it's more fun to teach that way. The Socratic method has a place as a method in teaching but having it be the method is overkill.
Thanks for article. Though I known about Lambda for long time, but this is one nice example, how Lambda can be used. Now I am planning to use to develop some zapier like integrations.

Sorry for the late response.
Even as Silicon Valley was still in its infancy, a group of organizations including Bell, MCI, GM, and others hired Fred Terman from Stanford to make NJ more like what Silicon Valley (NJ and SV share a ton of similarities, i did a tedx talk about it below [1]) but Terman was unsuccessful. He pointed to how Princeton was not focused enough on applied science the way Stanford was. East coast politics and stock market downturn also hindered his efforts.

Also, don't forget Fort Monmouth, which was across the county, employed an equal number of scientists and was responsible for nearly as many inventions as Bell Labs (much classified). It was the home of the Army's software and signal operations. Just like Silicon Valley, the military kickstarted the world's most productive innovation cores.

New Jersey had (and continues to have) the richest concentration of scientists in the United States. Monmouth County and the Princeton had, for a very long time, the kind of serendipity that makes Silicon Valley so special—that you can walk down the street and bump into a bunch of engineers and VCs while walking your dog and strike up a conversation.

State politics in NJ, unfortunately, doesn't nurture these institutions and the ecosystem has grown weaker. It breaks my heart that Bell Labs is a mall and Fort Monmouth lays fallow when it should be bid out to universities to become the Stanford of the East—the applied sciences university that Fred Terman dreamed about.

Indeed. It was especially awkward after I searched for "Willy Wonka costume", which prompted Amazon to also show me the results for "Willy costume". Some of those items were then clearly visible in almost every Amazon ad and recommendation I received during the next couple of months.

>It's kind of brilliant in a sadistic way, as if the prisons, their programs, food, and environment were designed to maximize recidivism.

They are. In this Jon Oliver bit they cite a Powerpoint sales pitch from a prison corporation which notes that high recidivism rates are one of many reasons why you should invest.

Didn't it mean "for all knowledge"? When universities appeared, they were clearly not for everyone.
This is what privatization leads to. Hand off a government function to a profit-seeking organization, well, it's gonna seek profits; the taxpayer winds up paying for the thing and also for someone else to make their profits off the thing.

Seriously has there ever been a situation where privatizing an industry led to actually reduced costs, and didn't lead to reduced quality of output? Even if you accept the (IMHO dubious) premise that private industry is necessarily going to be more efficient than government-run industry, the efficiency gain has to be greater than the profit-taking for it to be a worthwhile tradeoff for the taxpayer.
I have read a lot of scifi books particularly post apocalyptic (yeah its overdone but I still love it) and "The Road" still haunts me.

I am more of a plot junkie and have very little to justify a good opinion of literature but for whats worth "The Road" is very well written. Highly recommend it.
SML/NJ is just a compiler/programming environment for SML[1], not a whole language on its own. Still impressive.

Difficult to tell if this is satire or not.

Here is a Route 128 story: back then in the mid-80s Elias Corey employed Stewart Rubenstein to work on LHASA, his retrosynthesis program. Remember that Corey was awarded the Nobel not for total synthesis but for automation of retrosynthesis. Rubenstein was approached by a colleague from David Evans' group of he could also automate structure drawing. This was the beginning of Chemdraw.

Corey (it's well known that he is an arsehole) claimed the Chemdraw IP because he paid Rubenstein's salary and Evans supported him in the suit against Corey. (Evans is an arsehole as well, but a different kind.) Rubenstein won the suit because he could prove that off-the-clock he worked on a Macintosh and on the clock presumably on a PDP-11 or somesuch.

Should the Coreys of Massachusetts be able to claim IP unrelated to employment because they pay your salary and own you 24/7?
Hmm never had an issue, but to have people at AWS that know my stuff would start somewhere north of 100 million a year spend on AWS.

Being able to afford air travel makes a huge difference to your life. Irish people used to hold wakes for emigrants, because they were effectively saying goodbye forever. Until a few decades ago, the only chance most working people had of travelling internationally was in the armed forces.

How big is the difference between economy, business class and a private jet? You're a bit more comfortable for a few hours, but that's about it. The life-changing part of air travel has been democratised; the expensive add-ons are mostly status signals.

The difference between owning a car and not owning a car is huge; the difference between driving yourself and being driven is a nicety that even a lot of billionaires forgo. Motor racing isn't a particularly expensive hobby if you're willing to do it in a used Neon rather than a race-prepped Porsche.

I trained as an audio engineer and I can tell you that there's nothing in music that you'll hear on a $50,000 custom hifi system that you won't also hear on a $300 pair of Sennheiser or AKG headphones.

I think there's a general principle here, underpinned by economies of scale. If you make a million of just about anything, you can make them really good and really cheap. There's just not a lot of extra value that can be added above and beyond that sweet spot.

When our economy was mostly driven by labour, the rich got access to an array of luxuries that were completely unaffordable to the majority. Now that the economy is driven mostly by innovation and automation, you don't have to be that far above the poverty line to reap most of the benefits of our civilization.
I think it's a bit more than that given that the project has amassed more than 16.000 commits so far.

You must not forget that JS does not provide support for many of the things that are required to run a C program (e.g. printing), so emscripten needs to take care of providing alternative implementations for all these things.
Hey HackerNews! We built the DevOps Security Checklist because security is increasingly becoming the responsibility of DevOps teams and it’s sometimes hard to understand what has to be done and in what stage.
The checklist gives concrete actions that DevOps engineers can follow by company stage.

This list is of course far from being exhaustive! So please share your feedback here or send a Pull Request directly to: https://github.com/sqreen/DevOpsSecurityChecklist

We hope you find it useful :)
What Exactly Would It Mean to Have Trump’s Finger on the Nuclear Button? (2016)

While it may not specifically be illegal in the US, it's certainly opening the interviewing company up to huge potential liability. All the interviewee would have to do would be to show that it's more likely than not that they were intending to discriminate based on gender / likelihood to get pregnant.

Google's sample of Conway's game of life
Consumer unfriendliness can be at multiple levels, not just in a falsely advertised plan. The FTC sued AT&T over wrongful advertising and changes of a data plan, a consumer affair issue.

Figuring out whether your ISP is correctly being the common carrier it needs to be (correct or incorrect prioritization, 0-rating, caps, etc..) is definitely a Title 2-related communications & FCC issue. The FTC can continue enforcing what are consumer affairs issues related to ISPs being broadband providers. The FTC's legal reasoning is correct, getting rid of the exemption as I understand it would give them more authority if their current argument is rejected in court.
Yes. Am I missing something?
It is good example that argv[0] is just another normal argument that is passed by the caller of execve() and does not necessarily have to be related to the actual filename of program executed in any way.
The difference is that Google makes money if the WSJ were to be using their ad network to monetise, or not using if its paywalled content.

Any decent program is going to force your first two points. I don't get any professional use out of my Japanese degree, but would I have easily been able to come up with a plan to teach myself computer programming, and have the discipline to follow through with it until I found work, if I hadn't gone through the experience of getting the Japanese degree? I think probably not.

Just OCR it.

Or just retype it.

I don't understand why everyone seems obsessed with complex, automated, technical solutions when a simple manual procedure will do. Or are we talking about thousands of pages (sorry, haven't read the article, just responding to the comments)?
"However; I feel like Google is ignoring my most watched content for suggestions, possibly because they've demonetized a lot of the content that I enjoy, which means they can't profit by suggesting those videos."

The suggestions are not for your benefit but for the ad buyers'. That's where their money comes from. If you keep that in mind most weird behavior from companies like Facebook or Google makes sense. Of course there is sometimes also the element of stupidity.

Interesting seeing this story this morning, my company recently moved into the old Bell Labs building. Now called Bell Works, it does actually look like it's going to become a hub of new tech companies in the area.

It's pretty humbling to walk into this giant building every day knowing some of the amazing things that were invented here.
1. The actual reason she was arrested is because she admitted leaking it.

2. The story about only six printouts and e-mail correspondence is the official cover to draw public attention away from the yellow dots.

3. The yellow dots is how they actually found her and why she had no reasonable choice but to admit leaking, which allowed 1 to happen without drawing attention to the yellow dots.
I look for women/PoC in senior management and / or technical leadership. I generally prefer more conservative workplaces where emphasis is on results rather than socialising. Also if you can ask around about pay and see whether they are large pay differentials for the same or similar levels of work.

This is a good thought, but one doubts that arguments against self-interest could ever have much persuasive force. NIMBYers like to talk about all the catastrophes that will ensue if the community changes, but the primary catastrophe on their minds is the one to their Zestimate®.

I got into it on Facebook one time with a guy complaining about the high housing prices in Venice, as well as the parking garage they were constructing in his neighborhood. You can solve one of these problems. Probably going to NIMBY the parking garage then rant about parking problems.

The claim that Harvard "doesn't care about students" is reality-denying. Harvard has students who these people, with their racist propaganda, would do harm to (and if you don't understand that we're dealing with literal and concrete racist propaganda, you are naive or dissembling). Should Harvard not care about those students (and faculty, and staff, etc. who would similarly be affected)? There's nothing sacrosanct about racist propaganda that deserves to be defended at a private institution--and Harvard refusing to make their community worse is commendable. It's not comparable to complaints about university policy at all to a degree that is not merely ridiculous but actively malicious on your part.

I don't particularly care about, and it sure seems like Harvard doesn't either, students who, after being found out and asked to explain their super gross actions, didn't. Didn't present what they'd done (as they'd been asked to), didn't explain, didn't apologize. This group had over a hundred members. About ten decided not to own up to what they'd done and were shown the door for it.

Trying to hang the consequences of racist behavior on the institution that refuses to put up with racist behavior is head-screwing. Maybe...don't be racist? Or at least not openly? And then you can go to Harvard like Mommy and Daddy wanted instead of having to explain why you're not. Harvard's in my own backyard; I'll applaud them doing what they can to keep my backyard free of racist propagandists where they can.
But it's like saying people complain about Internet Explorer not having a feature that other browsers have. When it takes many years longer than the other browsers to implement a feature, you are effectively holding the market back. IE and Safari are the only two browsers that didn't have support until now (with only IE not having support while Edge does).
