Boulder's bike infrastructure is pretty good for the US. The week I spent there, I got around by bike with no problems.

Having grown up in a place with its share of economic hard times, and having lived in Italy for many years, the idea of "too many pesky jobs" is... absolutely mind boggling. Like something from another planet.

"Web scraping" covers a pretty broad area from plain data collection to snagging content for republishing.

Can you be a bit more specific?
I think that photo of a "donut" is actually a bagel.
It was shot on behalf of NatGeo, but I believe the small film crew was hand-selected from among people he already knew and trusted.
What country is this and how are local taxes collected then? I'm intrigued.
My favorite part of these arguments is when "resources are limited" is mentioned in passing and without irony or comment. It's just taken for granted.
Reading NFC transit passes doesn't sound too exciting. I mean, if a phone has an NFC chip, why not use the phone (plus an app) instead of a transit pass, tapping with your phone where you're expected to tap with your pass? This is like your phone wouldn't come with a music player, but would come with a full-fledged oscillograph instead.
There are things that can easily be detected and cause you to have issues with a clearance. For example, if you get arrested or have other significant legal issues, someone will probably find out. Also, if you stop paying your bills long enough to have severe credit issues, someone will likely find out about that too.

For social media activity, someone would likely have to report you for anyone to take action.

I for one think its pretty reasonable, it sucks working for the government enough already, if we put people under 24x7 surveillance just for trying to serve their country they will go from having very few talented/ethical people working for them to absolutely none.
So manny parallels that even occur today.
Once that light blew, the computer detected half voltage from the headlight circuit, and knew it was a broken. The computer sent a PID code.

When it works, it's great. I have seen it not work though. There's nothing more frustrating than replacing a part, and the PID still won't go out.

My hope is vechicle computer programs just improve.
Congrats, this looks really nice, the feedback you're getting here is a good bit of proof that you're on to something people like.

My first reaction to the "CRM to manage friends..." was, what? Why do I need a business tool for my personal life.

I wonder if there is a better terminology than CRM. You bump up against the social network on one end, and a person tool on the other.

I wrote an executive summary for my business last week, and the feedback I got from an advisor was that they loved the idea that there are these two big existing markets, and that their is a middle-ground between them which hasn't been addressed. I think that is what you've got here, it needs to be named. I haven't quite been able to name mine yet either, so I'm not suggesting this is easy.

What do other think? Is the CRM a good label for a personal tool?
Ask HN: How do you put disclaimer for random Yes/No answering application?
I've a silly application which can answer Yes/No to any question. Will I be liable for any answer given by the app.

For example, Questions like - should I kill someone/myself? Should I break the law? Will I get hurt if I jump from 20th floor? etc.

What should I do to explicitly say that application is for entertainment purpose only and its answer shouldn't be taken seriously.
HR is a business function, and the business is run by executives, so unless the HR function is run day to day by the CEO then HR needs to be enabled by someone. The HR function in a company the size of Uber is a deliberate structure that is guided by business goals set by the executive team, the executive team gives the HR function the authority within the framework (policy, implicit and explicit direction) provided.

If the story is true that HR dissembled and protected staff who were blatantly breaking the law then it is very reasonable to ask "who enabled HR?"

[EDIT] minor grammar fix
> How do you say that they were exploiting cheap labor, when they claim that their business model enabled them to pay their caregivers 25% higher than industry average.

When I read this figure I wondered if they're looking at it on a pre-tax basis. 1099 workers have to pay employment taxes that W-2 workers do not shoulder (because they are paid by the employer). This wouldn't add up to 25% — probably more like 15%. So while I don't think they were "exploiting cheap labor", I think it's possible that the win-win scenario they claim wasn't as big a win for workers as it might seem.
It doesn't need to be farming. If you want your kids to study hard and stay in school, almost any low-paid job heavily reliant on manual labor will do.

First, you have your kid work that grueling and thankless job. Then you can take them to your desk job, and show them your company's lowest-level job postings.

Many of the people I know with really nice jobs have a story about that one job they worked before graduation that taught them the value of working smart rather than hard. Mine was on a shipping dock.
In Britain we have state schools, private schools and most expensive of all the old 'public schools', with a name almost designed to confuse. Most of them are ancient, and look a bit like Hogwarts. The real power of the schools is the 'old boys network'. When you need help getting into university, or beginning a career, there will be an old boy of your school you can write to for help. It seems daft in 2017, but ex public school boys still seem to dominate public life. What still surprises me is the willingness of brits to 'doff their caps' at them like they are still Lord of the manor. I see it daily where there is still a feeling that they are somehow better, because they had an expensive education.

This is one of the huge things that holds Britain back. So many 'businessmen' in the UK were in fact set up in business by their father, or family. They then run their business with a sense of entitlement, and not a hint of maybe sharing equity with founders. Private Equity is dominated in the same way. If you want to meet a VC in Britain, you would do much better if you had the right old school tie. Access to capital for ordinary people with a good idea seems impossible, unless it is via some kind of research funding. It is the same thing that makes UK business so male dominated.

It will carry on too, until Brits stop believing in the Downton Abbey model of British identity. I thought the article was really good too. Thanks for sharing
All human beings are morally innocent

If you're a member of a society and you break the law, then you aren't innocent. If the laws of the society are unjust then that's a different argument entirely. Africans who were not even members of the American colonies were kidnapped and forced into labor. They were completely innocent but regarded as sub-human and not deserving of rights. To equate their plight with the plight of those who knowingly break the law in the USA and are forced to do labor is to demean the situation of Africans who were enslaved. IMO, that's not the argument we want to make regarding US prison problems.

Enforced prison labor is slavery

Then I guess we can't fine people either. People perform labor to make money. Fining people forces them to provide labor.

Enforced prison labor is just a fine to be paid through labor. Like any penalty, it can be punitive or it can be recompensatory. It is not "slavery".

How Your Brain Recognizes All Those Faces
> For reasons I can’t fathom, the C standard mandates that rand() must always start as if it were seeded with 1. I can’t imagine why anyone thought that was a good idea. What is the sense of making a random number facility that – by default – isn’t random?

It's not a random number facility, it's a pseudorandom number facility. And, unless you've explicitly seeded it from an unpredictable source, the results are consistent across runs with otherwise similar contexts, which is a desirable feature in many of the domains PRNGs are used for (it's undesirable when you need an RNG instead of a PRNG, but then so is using a PRNG like C-standard rand() in that case.)
How about we spend more effort creating more fairly-paid teachers than making more dormfart-website CEOs?

I agree.

Chakra uses a pure JIT approach? I thought they interpret both in JS and Wasm?
I've got uBlock origin, but it doesn't block anything on Pinterest. That brings up a good point... on Pinterest it is hard to tell what is and isn't an ad because the only differentiator is the text below that reads "promoted by...". Everything else looks like a normal pin, except usually the content doesn't make any sense with my feed so I think look to see who is posting garbage so I can unfollow them and usually it turns out to be an ad.
but Instagram is more for browsing than buying . people who use pinterest are more in a buying mood
It depends. What's the site? How are you scraping? Is it going to cause traffic issues on the server? Are you breaking terms of service or any other reasonable requests to not scrape? Did you even talk to the site owners? Are you scraping content behind a paywall or similar? All of these questions and others make up the answer to your question, so there's no generalisation to make really.
Might be easier to dump the scan tools firmware. Both are probably about the same legality! :D

Yep, there's padding.
Google does not penalize Facebook for web spam. Facebook, to my knowledge, does not do:

- hidden text,

- doorway pages,

- cloaking, or

- sneaky redirects

They just show a big popover nagging you to log-in. But you can click this away.

If certain Facebook content pages rank low, or do not rank at all, it is because Facebook actively blocks Googlebot from accessing the content, not because Facebook is trying to deceive Google (or the user).

Though Facebook does not need Google, it could get quite a lot more visitors if it lowered the wall of its garden a bit. As is, Facebook is an inaccessible social echo chamber, and I don't lose any sleep over this.
>And then there are the ads, which, as a bunch of other commenters have pointed out, tend to be really far out of line from anything I've ever expressed interest in. It's just off-putting to see a bunch of low-quality ads for tacky crap in the middle of my feed of minimalist interiors.

This seems likely to be an inventory issue more than anything else. Fine-grained targeting requires fine-grained ads which requires a sub-linearly scaling sales team.
I think if they focus on bringing in more content creators, especially people who produce and find niche stuff and keep working to improve their discovery capabilities, they can forge their space without fear competition from Instagram, which has launched an option To save things. I was recently looking for burnt cement floor and I had a better search experience than using google.

> In the case of hacking, our assessment must include a notion of how easy it would be for a nation or group to be falsely implicated.

> Separately, there must be a discussion of motive apart from specific evidence. But what we're seeing is a blurring together of various tiny pieces of data, analysis, guesswork, etc., into a narrative.

Do you believe that the intelligence community has failed to consider these fairly obvious principles when producing their reports?

It seems you've constructed a belief system by which you can never be convinced of Russia's involvement. This is what I was getting at with my question above (which you didn't really answer).
Sex and abortion.
Ask HN: What are the best Big data conferences to attend?
I work as a Big data software engineer, I mostly go to AWS Summit or GCP Next. I feel like these conferences are more pushing their products (which is understandable) than giving new & interesting information about advances in the field. Any recommendations on conferences I should attend?
I graduated high school in 2009 and went to my flagship state school (UW), and had a similar experience in that getting decent grades and SAT scores was what counted. I think for the big schools like the Ivys, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, etc... it might be more involved.

I think I got a perfectly good education at University of Washington, but I think to some people anything less than something highly ranked by US News is failure. I think we feel hyper competitive to be the best and only partake in the best, because anything less leaves us exposed, and it is stressful to live that way.
One nice thing is bluetooth pairing.

I bought a pair of Bose QC35 headphones recently. There is an NFC tag embedded in the headphones. I just had to tap my phone to the headphones and hit an "accept" button on my phone, and they were paired.

Similarly a friend has a box plugged into their stereo that's essentially just an A2DP receiver with RCA outputs, and has NFC on it for pairing. I wanted to play some music on his stereo at a party, and all I had to do was tap my phone to the receiver and start up Spotify.

Right, that'd make sense. I would imagine once you get a few emails that weren't intended for you, the Google Now map of interests gets all borked. If the problem is common enough, I'm sure the Google Now people would love to know.
That's like telling a bullied kid to ignore a bully (or stop giving him/her attention) and that it will make the bully go away, eventually, sometime in the future (maybe). It may work in the long-term, but it doesn't fix the problem of people hurting and being scared in the now.

I'm a simple person. We have government, and we pay taxes so we can get services and have safety (that is what they tell us). So, terrorism is something we expect government to fix and resolve. Just like all the other things listed above that kill more people per year than terrorism. We can't just say "let's ignore it", and "we have to deal with X acts of terrorism per year for a N years before the terrorists lose interest". That is what some of these "anti-anti-terrorism" arguments logically lead to, and rightfully it's a tough pill to sell to the public.

Apple Pay uses NFC - how would it interfere?
I share this story from time to time whenever this question comes up. I'm probably a broken record at this point but I've always thought it important to set expectations clearly for new devs by being open about my own failures; and after the recent reddit post it seems about time to braindump once again.

I deleted /etc on a live, user facing, production cluster once.

Wrote a script to determine OS, settings, a bunch of other bits, and then configure the node appropriately. I sanity checked it for BSD, ubuntu, debian, RHEL, all the machines I thought it would run on.

Turns out there was a Solaris cluster.

Long and the short; the software I was configuring installed differently on Solaris, my script did not properly audit/validate, and proceeded to, upon not finding the right subdirectories when performing a traversal, declare itself done while still sitting in /etc and nuke the entire dir.

The joking lesson I tell myself from this I summarize as a quote my sysadmin mentor told me: "Don't miss."

Less glibly, and more actionably,

- enumerate your edge cases and failure modes rigorously both from a "what do I expect" and a "what if" perspective. (kinda under this bucket, UNDERSTAND YOUR GODDAMN SPEC, AGGRESSIVELY; this is true both in ops and dev)

-Write your code with the EXPECTATION that bits will fail, and have it self audit.

-rm * is a big hammer. For all the press DD gets, rm * (and rf) should be used with care and proper precaution, ESPECIALLY if automated. Have extra "mental flags" to give extra care if you see rm *'s and such in your code.

-PHASED ROLLOUTS.

I'm sure there are more learnings, but those are what come to mind at a thought.

To answer the latter half of your question, the repercussion (and remedy) was my boss going to me: "whelp, you get to send out an outage email, and learn how to rebuild a cluster" (not before calling the other sysadmins into the room, having a brief moment of "let's point and laugh" and then sharing their own explosions, some of which made mine pale in comparison :) )
Like you mention, that's only been a trend in the last 25 years or so. Prior to that, there was some pride is in being a 30/30, 20/50, 40/20, 50/20 and more rarely, a 40/40 player. All of which could get one easily recognized as an MVP. Furthermore, the trend to long ball vs. small ball is that long ball is seen as offensive strategy that has no defense. And I think McGwire and especially Bonds, Sosa had a lot to do with it. Bonds and Sosa came up as solid candidates for 30/30 seasons. Bonds did do a few seasons of 20/50 before he almost entire switched to long ball. And when you could have players that could guarantee a homerun every 10-20 ABs, it's easy to see why long ball is seen as feasible. What's sad that Bonds was an incredibly talented hitter before he went down his long ball route. I mean, he still hit for a high average, slugging percentage, and OBP. But he used to be able to hit the situation, go the other way to avoid a double situation, and he always had an eye for walks. What was incredible to watch was that he overnight (at least it felt that way) cause teams to simply intentionally walk him 50% of the time.

In the 40s-60s and into the 70s maybe, hitters were more balanced. I think of sluggers like Williams, Mays, Mantle, Yaz, Kilebrew, Foster, McCovey, Kingman, etc. The introduction of the forkball, splitter, and changeup in the late 70s and 80s had a lot to do with the down turn in power. Hitter's technologically behind so to speak. In today's baseball, there's almost no room for a more balanced hitter like Gwynn, Boggs, Rose, Carew. Guys who only got 50-60 RBIs, a dozen or two homeruns, stole 15 bases, but who could bat for .350 in a given year and over 200 hits.

It used to be taught, speed has no off days. That doesn't seem to be true anymore.
