Do you mean that? A 65% rental income tax seems exceedingly high, and while I can imagine an argument for it, you don't really seem to present much of one in your comment.

Is this the same regardless of your role in the trial?

Over here (Finland), if you are witness, you are compensated (meagerly, not always reasonable).

If you are the accused, you pay for your own travel - so the professional criminal class just skips the trial, thereby causing lot of unnecessary hassle to witnesses and injured parties. Then a new trial date is set, and on the nth try the police might pick up the accused, and bring him or her to trial (at no cost), then to be released on a conditional discharge.

30% of California forest firefighters are prisoners .. The state argued against parole credit for these prisoners as it would draw down the labor force and lead to depletion of the firefighter force.

You say you may be a little opposed to colleges becoming simply a means for attaining a job, is that correct? In that case, could you expand on why you wouldn't be completely be opposed to such a notion?

I think that's what colleges have indeed turned into but to the student's detriment rather than benefit. The pursuit of knowledge scarcely seems to be emphasized upon now - though I'm not sure to what extent that's purely the fault of colleges.

Interestingly, I'm getting a significantly higher hash rate in Chrome than in Firefox (12,000 vs. 600). This is despite the fact that Firefox has a higher priority on my OS (High vs. Normal) and they're both using the same amount of CPU.

What hash rates are you seeing on your machine/browser?
That's really interesting. Do you have more examples? Thank you for the suggestion. Stripe is only the best known and is well integrated with other systems. When you use something like Paydoo you have to write e.g. your invoice email system yourself (and for stripe there are third party services which can handle that for you). So Stripe has benefits regarding the ecosystem around it.

Edit: Seeing there is also a currency conversion fee (is there something similar on stripe?). I mean with currency conversion+paydoo regular rates you get close to Stripe rates!

As an additional screen to a mac, yes, there are severals apps for that, however they all require 3rd party kernel drivers on the mac so they will most likely break on major updates and they will probably be discontinued at some point.

They work reasonably well for web browsing and development, but I would not use them for photo or video stuff.
> it's disappointing and disheartening to not be trusted to choose my own preferences and explore the options in said app/service.

Except you are: if you're the kind of user who will take action and 'explore the options', why does it hurt you to have an opt-out instead of an opt-in? You would end up explicitly making the same choice anyway, right?

This is exactly why opt-outs for these kinds of features make sense: the average user would otherwise never even know the feature existed, and power users that are bothered by it are the ones who are willing to go into the options to disable it.
I'd be interested in testing:

I live in Bedstuy in Brooklyn, a predominately African American community in NYC. Before this I've lived in Albany, NY; Bushwick; and in the housing projects in Brownsville.

NY has recently taken a significant step forward in ensuring adequate access to higher education through the legislature's and Cuomo's initiative to bring tuition free higher education to all NYS residents.

I've become part of several minority communities and met many people with circumstances not so fortunate as mine. It is unbelievable to hear how such a large percentage of these young men have spent time in prison. During highschool I found it odd that in a school with a greater than 60% African American community the AP and IBO classes I was enrolled in were consistently 90% white. I skipped a lot of class back then and was always amazed by the peers who, despite by all standards being considered "the bad kids", could tear a car apart and build it all back together again.

In the projects in Brownsville I learned that my girlfriends mother had secured some sort of video shooting arrangement, she said the entire neighborhood would turn out in their Sunday's finest when the cameras were around. Everyone wanted to see what was going on.

In the projects in Brownsville I noticed an abject lack of activity spaces and an abject lack of green. Brownsville is one of the poorest communities in NYC and it consists primarily of a large number of bleak housing project buildings arrayed across several blocks. I have never heard so many sirens as I did in Brownsville. In the short month I was there my girlfriends mother literally walked into a shoot out to calm some of the younger community members down.

I've always thought to myself that I could do anything anyone else could do (well not always, took a lot of introspection in highschool). I mean, look at the person doing it. They have two arms, I have two arms. They have two legs, I have two legs. They've got a head and brain and I have exactly the same.

It would clearly be obnoxious not to believe in any other person the same way. I believe we're very fortunate to ride the subways in NYC because when you see a child hankering for a balloon you realize that child is just like any other.

I applaud this effort. I've met so many people who are smart as whips and deserve the access to the opportunities and future I had and have.

And that's why I believe the solution starts from the ground up.
The Case for Less Solidarity
But I guess California prison guards and their unions - probably not an insignificant contributor to election budgets of some politicians - would not like that? They would bring up issues like isolation of prisoners from their friends and families (further increasing their re-offending risk) and dumping of working conditions (immoral). And that if you do this, you won't be re-elected.
Think of the economic efficiency we would achieve by just sending the HBS kids en masse to prison.

Instead of wasting time and resources to select the "best" possible level of future criminal, we just throw the whole lot in jail.

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

That really is simply disgusting. Keeping people imprisoned mainly so that they can be used as a source of cheap (borderline free) labour is pure exploitation. It really doesn't seem very many steps above slavery. I know that at least in theory people are in prison because they have done something wrong so that them working to in part pay for the cost of their incarceration seems justified but if they should be released but are only being kept as cheap labour then I think that that argument goes completely out the window.

Worse here, with chromium I can get 20kH/s vs 200H/s on Firefox.
I would only ever share that level of data if we had already signed a term sheet and were in the latter stages of DD.

The sad fact is that there are unscrupulous VC firms out there that are just looking to mine you for data. Either for the benefit of a company already in their portfolio or as a comparison point for another deal they are considering.

Trust your gut.
The first game I remember playing was Millipede in the arcades at Chuck E. Cheese's when I was 4. And Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. very shortly after that (maybe the same day). I'm sure I was garbage at it, but they attracted my eye and I begged until my parents relented.

My brother started playing the NES with me when he was about 4 years old (maybe 5, can't quite remember). We played the hell out of hard games like Contra together.

And my parents aren't particularly into video games.

I actually started learning the basics of how to write software when I was 7 or 8 years old (copying and tweaking BASIC programs out of checked out library books, playing around with Hypercard on the one school Macintosh in the library). I think people can handle things much younger than most older people assume.
I think a big thing about AI with Apple is the fact that their stance on privacy makes it a bit harder to compete with the harvested data sets of Google. From what I understand though, according to the reactions on the papers they released a bit back, they're not doing so poorly.

That being said, and I've never used Cortana or Alexa, but I hear they're pretty decent compared to Siri.
No, though I'd think your attorney fees and court costs are the least of your worries after a few years in prison.

Looks like there are some attempts to provide compensation, but they vary

No. In the US, costs are never reimbursed in criminal trials. They might be reimbursed in civil suits, if rarely.

Even the juror compensation is something ridiculous like $10/day. I don't think subpoenaed witnesses are compensated for anything.
Right, absurd laws should be removed too.

This is a cheap, sensational headline and an article that lacks depth and analysis.

At the end of 2006, there were ~160,000 people in prison "institutions" in the state of California[1]. The design capacity of those institutions was ~79,000 people[1], so the occupation was ~204% of the design capacity.

At the end of 2016, there were ~114k people in prison institutions[2], which was ~134% of the design capacity.

Obviously, if prisons are vastly overcrowded, and over time the number of people in prison is reduced substantially, the per-prisoner cost will sharply increase. There are no financial savings on infrastructure because institutional capacity is still vastly exceeded, and the savings in other areas will not be proportional to the overall drop in prison population because the people released early tend to be less expensive to imprison, as they tend to be incarcerated for less serious crimes.

Whatever one's political allegiance, the fact that the prison system in the state of California has been running at a minimum over 130% of design capacity for the last decade is a tremendously serious issue, and it feels trivialising to make a nonsensical comparison to the cost of university tuition, and to present the fact that per-prisoner costs have risen while prisoner numbers have fallen as anything less than blindingly obvious.

A discussion of the prison crisis in California seems completely worthy of Hacker News, but it shouldn't be based on an article like this.

Nobody is forced to do anything actually. Only outside things will be done chained, loose enough to do the thing but otherwise no orders or anything.

My idea is that people with nothing to do, and no absurd violent crowds will start to soften and try stuff out of boredom or old desires (say before they turned into the "dark side").

You either stay silently in your cell or you do something that won't cost society and will give them something back, and you will also get something on the way (new knowledge, less boredom, health, etc).
This is true, there are movies that used to be available on Netflix last time I was subscribed (mostly some old classics which I enjoyed rewatching from time to time) which have since been removed from the catalogue.

Another issue is outside of US the catalogue is very small. I was living in UK at the time I subscribed to Netflix and the catalogue was much smaller than US one.

Same here in Germany. Our CS faculty admits some 300-400 students who are sitting together in one lecture hall in the basic courses (math, algorithms, logic, information theory, electronics), with tutorial sessions for about 30-40 students per room. The specialized lectures in later semesters have 10-30 students and only one tutorial session.

I've found the smaller lectures to be much nicer since it allows engaged students to discuss the subject with the lecturer more freely. (Of course, it depends on the lecturer, i.e. if he/she allows questions and counterpoints from the audience, but most lecturers do.)
Your Transaction is on the way.
No, but it does provide an "environmental" explanation to counter those that would like to introduce eugenics back into polite society and who point to lower IQs in poorer populations as proof of their inherent (and unfixable) inferiority.

I'm reminded of the story about how an IQ researcher spotted the telltale signs of fetal alchohol syndrome before it was named, but had put it down to the bad genes of the native tribes he was studying. It seems when you'd decided that something in inherited, it's very easy to overlook environmental causes, even when they have very noticeable impacts.
To an extent, yes. But I would also say learning how to think should continue to explicitly fall under the university umbrella, or at least that particular notion should be extended to a greater degree in university.

From my experiences, too many kids straight out of high school go to university blind in the face of knowledge and don't think for themselves, and the capacity for independent thought (or lack thereof) is a very big issue.
Russians did you a favor pentesting your voting infrastructure for free.

What really is important is how people have no problem with a voting system which apparently is at risk of hacking by foreign nation states and presumably also by candidates themselves, domestic or international mafia, the NSA and pretty much everybody's dog.

And the best thing is, on the Internet nobody even knows you are a dog if you are behind seven proxies.

I mean, sure, probably the NSA has some good evidence that it was Russians. Maybe. Hopefully. And probably even if China knew how the NSA identifies hackers they still would be cautious about attempting to frame Russia, assuming they don't want conflict with Russians. I suppose.

Should this kind of reasoning be the basis of trust in the system?

That's all fantasy scenario for a military games or scary movie, it doesn't have any real possibility, it didn't even happen in cold war time with much more powerful at the time USSR. Russia just can't start large scale war with west, it doesn't have any capability to do that, only if Gandalf will come to save it :) (same level of fantasy as in your scenario)
It also doesn't want to, nobody wants to attack Europe here, that's ridiculous, if you think Russia is some blood-thirsty monster thinking everyday how to conquer Europe, it's not. One of the popular toasts in Russia is 'For clear sky above our heads' which means so there won't be war (and no war planes, which bombed Russia in WW2). Russia is defensive, it has nukes to ensure that Europe and USA won't attack it and happy with this, and doesn't have nor desire neither ability for any significant war with western world.

Russia could win again Sweden alone, though it won't be that easy as well, as you said, Sweden is not completely defenseless. To attack big country you don't even border, with harsh environment and landscape and then control it is not an easy task. And that would be only Sweden attacked, that's my original point, why to do that? What's the point of attacking Sweden alone, you don't gain anything from it and then face the wrath of the world.

> In general i think you have the notion that the fact that Sweden is preparing itself for a Russian invasion means that Russia have somehow singled out Sweden

No, my notion is that it's Sweden who singled out itself. Lately I've seen abnormally many news about Sweden being afraid, and they even returned conscription, that's why I guessed that it's some local political play (though I don't know political situation in Sweden to be sure). And I'm worried about Sweden because I think it's waste of resources and people's time.
