My bad, I misremembered, the base is actually 3 days (72 hours, that's the number I actually knew, but I mixed up with something else), and can be prolonged for 10 days by prosecution if a judge allows it, and can be prolonged for 10 more days after that, again validated by a judge. After that, the detainee needs to be either charged or released.
Supposedly, the extensions are for cases where there is risk of destruction of evidence or disappearance. Wikipedia cites some (old, 1987) numbers that 85% of arrested detainees were kept for longer than 72 hours and more than a third were held without charge for longer than ten days.

Interestingly enough (having now done some minimal research), for terrorism cases, you can be detained up to 28 (!) days without a charge in the UK. https://www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk/sites/default/files/...

I wonder if this author considers being good at chess a simulation of being good at something.

regardless, there are many different types of game, and the author makes the claim that young unemployed people play a specific type of game for a specific type of reason. He doesn't make this claim because the evidence is particularly compelling, but because that was the type of game that he played last march. The reason comes second.

How would this article have read differently if he had instead picked up starcraft?

This seems like very poor reasoning to me.
To add to this,

I've been meeting with government entities in a country who IBM is heavily influencing with marketing. There are very low hanging fruit kind of technical problems that can be easily solved by mediocre CRUD app developers but due to the money in this region, companies like Oracle and more recently IBM has swooped in and sold them a bunch of things they don't need and have no idea how to integrate to solve the problems they're facing. Don't know how to build REST APIs? Buy our middleware!

Sitting down with people in charge of making these decisions and it's apparent they haven't the slightest clue what they're getting into. Their teams don't have the technical ability to build REST APIs to integrate with each others services, and now they've bought into IBM's message queue without a single developer on their side with the competence or experience to know what it is.

They've sold them solutions without taking into consideration the problem.

Now blockchain is the newest buzzword, spoken about like some magic IT pixie dust that was just invented to solve any technical problem -- "NOW you can go paperless, can make transactions, can store health records, provide government services" as if before it wasn't possible. Somehow people with no technical background are profiting immensely by holding conferences and speaking about things they don't understand. People are literally conversing with each other without having any idea what they're saying.

We got an email recently from an entity that is very interested in our platform stating "we want your product, and all new software must be blockchain enabled," whatever that means.

I recently went to a tech event first person I met was pitching his blockchain company about to launch next month. When questioned, within a few minutes he relented that they were not using blockchain at all.
It's obviously how I word things... :( Why are you focusing on my '10 lines' comment? It's not a competition. I only stated the line amount as it's quite a trivial problem to solve, but as others have asked - why is it not a command by default in Windows?
Not the OP, but I really don't think it does.
> Where does that notion of finding forced happiness distasteful stem from originally? For that matter, now I wonder where the opposite in America stems from.

I can speculate that it's just general cultural differences. America has an self-made, "everyone can be a millionaire" spirit, which encourages people to push harder to earn a dollar (up to the point of routinely faking emotions), while in Europe the culture seems to be more like "you're not going to be a millionaire, so just relax and try enjoying life".

I (as an European) think the European way is just realistic, while American way is a distortion created by a period in American history where people came to America with nothing and got lots of good land for cheap/free from the government (which created the illusion that hard work is a very solid way for hugely improving your material position).
Archive it's not that visual. You go navigating through cached pages. Instead, I think he refers more to how to visually compare two different snapshots of a certain website. Put a number where it says "two" -> any number.

Imagine a image slideshow of photos you go having a glance at, but with most important snapshots of a certain media, say nyt.com.

I think it's an interesting tool.
Actually the video game industry is one of the more labor liquid industries in Japan. Teams leave, producers with track records go solo, key guys get poached, etc.

Definitely more liquid than manufacturing, finance, insurance, IT consulting, publishing, aerospace, shosha, semiconductors, etc.

Well, at least in reference letters, former employees can be criticised quite well. Mostly by omitting certain words. I believe most employers have practice in reading between the lines.

edit: I always thought this is just culturally. I have no idea, but I don't believe there are any laws that forbid telling the truth about former employees.

I didn't come here to out anyone, just to get some advice on how I recover from this emotionally and on strategies for protecting myself in future.

I've paraphrased the descriptions of the other people involved to protect their exact identities and relationships with me. The exact details reveal the worser extent of the betrayals.

I'm not going to out them here because it's not considerate of me to make the choice on their behalf, to expose who they are on HN.
+ no subscribe on the bottom in the demo/showcase
That's like what they said right after it happened: that I deserved to be treated like that. That it was my fault. And for along time I believed them. And I considered deeply how I could have done things that worked better.

In any situation, I am okay to take the blame and responsibility. So as long as as it's fair I'll own what's mine.

In this situations it took me a long time to see it wasn't fair. These people had exploited my willingness to own responsibility, and blamed their own actions on me, to disguise what they had done and avoid consequences for it. They also exploited their closeness to me, knowing that I would trust what they said, and likely shoulder blame they wanted to put on me. One reason I did that was because I just expected they would do the same for me in return, and we would each take responsibility and work out a win-win.

The hardest part for me was letting go of the idea that I could rely on these people. That took me a long time, one reason is because they were so close to me.

Now I've realized I need to be a lot more responsible with how I take responsibility for things, and not try to own stuff that's not my fault. And that I need to more quickly and robustly stand up for myself when people try to hurt me, and not let them dominate the narrative with lies. I used to think such things didn't matter, then I faced the consequences of being silent in the face of other people's bad behaviour and fake stories, and of trusting them to feel about me the same way I felt about them.

Anyway, it's good to take this opportunity to say this. It took me a long time to get to this point.
Google releases Blockly 1.0 to uplift block programming apps
Title should have been "How i found a bug in some deprecated 802.11g-era API that is disabled by default"

I always wonder why the kernel does not just warn when this API is used or yank it. Any software stuck with this API can barely know about 802.11n and is probably wondering what is 802.11ac or 802.11ax. Only some old or broken device drivers require this API.

Linux distros should just stop enabling this API.
It's Japan. There isn't real competition for talent - one is hired out of school, depending on the school he attended, and that's pretty much it. "Abandoning" a company is seen as suspiciously disloyal.

In exchange for that, most companies reward employees with jobs for life, seniority-based career progression, housing and health perks, vacation trips and so on.

IT and gaming are more dynamic than others but the mainstream attitude is still the zaibatsu one.

The interrogation period is 23 days. The conviction rate after interrogation is 99.98%. It's not a made-up number: Only 15 people walked away free in 2015 after interrogation. Assuming that the police arrests the correct persons with 99.98% accuracy would be immensely harmful for democracy – Please lookup for testimonies if those 2 figures didn't already make you doubt about Japan's police system.

Are companies not allowed to sell their products and services? Sorry this doesn't sit well with your ideal world.
Yes they are, but not on the basis of revenue.
I love Slack, but there's always the question that is it worth the monthly fees and related overhead. So far the answer is yes, but for example Microsoft is already trying to push competing offering via Office 365. If Google and Amazon follow the same path with their groupware offerings, this may hurt Slack sales. And it's not just about the price and quality of product, but also about the convenience. Do you deal with one vendor or do you have 10 different SaaS subscriptions you need to deal with.

One interesting option would be for Slack and Dropbox to merge. Don't know if this kind of deal could ever work out financially, but I think the combination would be quite interesting.

>that only a domain expert with highly specialized experience

Correct me if I'm wrong, but WannaCry isn't highly sophisticated. It weaponizes already known vulnerabilities to exploit soft targets on a large, but unsophisticated scale (because most of the victims are soft targets in terms of computer/network security). Ransomware is not a new idea either. Combining these things (known exploits, soft targets, ransomware) doesn't require genius or _highly_ specialized domain knowledge, hard to acquire intelligence or huge amounts of resources (labor or money). Any state capable of consistently spending a couple million dollars per year on a team for offensive security operations could, I suppose, pull this off.
The Japanese would rather kill themselves than defaulting on their debts. Until that holds true, and assuming they don't get attacked militarily, the country will continue to be what it is.
I think people reacted this way, because perhaps your suggestion to OP was not appropriate for this thread.

But I do remember reading your comment on the books discussion page few days ago. Actually, I have been thinking along the lines of what your bio description says. And I even bought a book, from the ones you suggested (the history of hedge funds, one). So thanks!

I am interested in that area, but constrained for bandwidth. As I also want to pursue cryptocurrency and/or ML. So not easy to choose, as realistically will have bandwidth to do only one of the three areas. And that too ensuring current project goes in a near 'self driven' way. Nothing is easy :)

Other than being a cryptocurrency, everything people are using blockchain based solutions for can be solved in a much more robust, complete, and scalable way using conventional software tools.

This is why it's not the revolutionary thing everyone is saying it is. As a cryptocurrency blockchain is the killer implementation. For anything else it just becomes a ridiculously bloated, clumsy, and slow database that hardly anyone understands and wastes electricity.
Seriously, Fuckonami.
I doubt it. I bet lots of people in either tower would have triggered the "I'm OK" feature a few minutes after the first plane hit, as would firemen who would only later get called in to help.

Should Facebook have created a 'please reconfirm' feature? If so, how often should hey have triggered it? For 9/11, there are at least four main events: two plane hits and two building collapses, but there were more: additional buildings, etc.
The other "simplest" way is to run the cron job on the web workers, and put something in the job to abort unless this host is the first web-worker instance. (Otherwise your jobs would run multiply on each instance.) That's what we're doing to kick off scheduled tasks for Django and it works well. It'd be very messy if the scheduled tasks created load because backend load in the web layer would really confuse autoscaling, but ours don't.

I'm also running little celery instances on each web worker, using Django as the backend. No SQS/Redis/RabbitMQ, no huge AWS lock in, no having to set up a backend worker layer. In general it's been fine for a year. You don't get good visibility into processing queue length etc but we usually have four bone-idle web workers so there is no queue length. If that might be a fit for your situation I could bang together a blog post or something.
Amazon Unveils $20 Dash Wand with Alexa
Piggybacking on your point, there's a ton of value in linear relationships and guaranteed wins.

If you pick up a guitar and play it for an hour, you're probably going to get a little bit better. Likewise, if you go for a run, you're going to be a little bit faster the next day.

These sorts of relationships can be really good for our brains after founding a startup, where there isn't always a clear relationship between what you put in and what you get out.
Union can't force a company to rehire you when you're "untouchable". In a lot of these environments corporations like Konami have enough power to essentially make you unemployable. Not having a positive reference (or even having an unofficial black mark against you) from them can easily be end of your career in the field. Especially if you slandered (or, god forbid, sued!) your previous employer.
> It uses a process per domain (mostly)

No, that's not quite right. What they do really is closer to proces-per-tab (with some complications around cross-site navigation) unless you have more than some number of tabs, in which case they will just have them share processes. See https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/process... and note that the default is to put multiple "independent" instances of the same site in different processes, even though they're same-domain. What you're describing is the non-default "Process-per-site" model.

> unless you middle click a link in which case it always shares the same process as the original tab

I believe they changed that behavior starting with Chrome 60. See https://codereview.chromium.org/2680353005/ which talks about ctrl-click, but I would assume (watch me turn out to be wrong!) that middle-click takes the same codepath.

Shame they didn't map some of the Fighting Fantasy books ( http://www.fightingfantasy.com/ ) or Steve Jackson's Sorcery Series ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorcery! - now made into a series of mobile apps http://www.inklestudios.com/sorcery/ ). Jackson & Livingstone really pushed this format far more than the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books.

Most of all I remember "Creature of Havoc" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creature_of_Havoc ) as being amazing and extremely hard. Instead of being an adventurer you play a monster with limited IQ forced to unravel the mystery of your own existence. It employed various techniques that prevented cheating like "If you have the key, add the number written on the key to this page number to open the door". One of those puzzles still has people discussing it http://laurencetennant.com/bonds/creatureofhavoc.html ( contains spoilers ). At 13 years old it took me and a friend 2-3 months to finally crack it.
it does sound like they're insecure and are trying to 'show you your place'. I've been in a very similar situation, with an immediate manager not being from a tech background and received pretty much the same comments.
What's New and Shiny in the TypeScript Community (June 2017)
Wow, I was a manager at a swimming pool and the "HR" told us when we get calls from prospective employers we can only tell them the dates of employments and the job position. We couldn't rave about how good the employees were but we were allowed to write letters of recommendation. I always thought it was in law (california) which is why they told us that.

> The strongest interviewers will discuss the problem and solve it at an abstract level using diagrams. Once satisfied with the solution, they'll code the entire thing making few mistakes.

I agree. In general I'm mediocre at coding interviews, but I do best when I have a chance to whiteboard and draw the problem. On the other hand I do absolutely terribly on phone screens with a shared document and no where for the interviewer to see my drawing.
A wild maintenance fee for onetime paid service appeared
I work for a Japanese company. Even if something is illegal in Japan it still happens. One particular thing is unpaid overtime. Most employees are hourly and they can be "forced" to work overtime for 50+ hours/week (all the time) without overtime pay. If they bring it up they will get "relocated" or just get harassed the entire time they're there until they quit. If they bring it to the government work agency (hello work) the company will deny the hours and say it was all voluntary. I have been told this personally by hello work. Also, I only have experience in one Japanese company so surely this does not occur at all companies.
Almost like all big organisations.
