You're the only one so far who's mentioned the reason this is important to me.

I want to learn from my coworkers. Making decisions that require evaluating new software or new techniques is difficult and risky, having more than one damn person who can contribute to that process makes a huge difference. Plus, I just like learning things from people.

Sure, it's very good for the business if they keep up with new developments in a rapidly changing field, but personally it's most important to me that my coworkers and I are helping each other sharpen our skills and make tech decisions responsibly (being fad driven is worse than being out of touch, I don't mean just knowing about what's "hot right now").

Fair point, I guess I was referring more to this comment:

> I don't think the majority understands what safety means in mass transportation.

And inferring that you meant that rail understands safety, generally, better than any other mode of transportation which I took issue with. I believe you 100% when you say that only one accident in 30 years ahas been attributed to driverless trains.

What I find horrifying about rail is how simple PTC should be: "am I exceeding the maximum speed for this stretch of rail? is there a train in front of me? if yes to either, slow down" and yet Amtrak says it will take billions of dollars and decades to install. I'm thinking of accidents like the NE Corridor derailment in 2015.
I agree.. tbh, I'm not sure why I'd want this as an extension. Seems like I'd use it too sporadically to justify keeping it in chrome.

> I find the idea preposterous, frankly.

This seems extreme. The idea generally talked about is "we're not yet sure about the effects of prolonged phone use on development of social skills and mental health, and related impacts on physical development. What's more, we know that adults are finding themselves with hard-to-break negative habits surrounding their phone use. And we know that app companies are A/B testing to the nth degree in an attempt to drive engagement ever higher. So caution is indicated here, even if we don't yet know precisely how much is warranted"

That doesn't seem in the least "preposterous" to me. And your sample size is tiny, and you don't have a control group: who knows what your family dynamic would be like if your kids had boundaries around their usage of devices?

As others have said, this is fundamentally different to the moral panics of the past. Back then, it was "kids are doing X, which I didn't do, and X is therefore bad." Now it is vastly more "I am realising that Y is bad for me, and I'm a full-grown adult. Perhaps I shouldn't let my kids run free with Y either".

This isn't "novels are corrupting our girls", it's much closer to "hang on, this smoking business may not actually be improving our health and vitality, and we might consider only letting little Jimmy have 20 a day. Yes, yes, even though we have no issue running in the park with him, or doing family things together, or etc etc etc"

Absolutely. The requirements for an H-1B visa are a bachelor's degree or its equivalent based on ducation and/or experience and you might have the equivalent of a bachelor's degree (although typically 12 years of experience are required). Also, you might qualify for an O-1 visa if you have a strong background or even an E-2 visa through a British-owned company in the US.

In the old days before computers, I assume, one wouldn't have to hand over all "database" records. If one were being requested to hand over all patient records, that would probably be a small mountain of data.

I think technology has made data very easy to transport, and modern day governments have taken advantage of this sort of fishing expedition.

Whether there is an answer to that or not is irrelevant to the fact the warrant lacks specificity.

Same bullshit was used in the Kim dotcom debacle irrc.

Ask HN: What would you do?  Unfinished app gets 20+ signups a month
Hello HN,

I'm a marketing guy/project manager and a couple years ago I built a note taking app with a contract developer. I had to abandon the project as the developer left, budget went dry and life required other commitments. Over this time I've been using it for myself, but a couple months ago I started getting some signups. It's a collaborative note taking app so it's got some sharing features that are driving the sign ups. It's free to use and I did build a revenue model into the app but it needs quite a bit more work before anyone would pay for the service.

Currently, I'm still sans developer with no more cash to put into the project and I'm at a crossroads because the more I market the product the more I think a bigger team will adsorb my ideas and make a much better app. I think I have a great name, a great domain and it's web based so it works on desktop and mobile. I also have a ruff outline of features I would like to add but I'm just not finding a developer that doesn't want cash up front. What would you do?

Best,

> On the bad side, this risk culture destroys large scale innovation, and even safety in the long run.

So true. Its an issue in General Aviation where there has been huge progress in safety devices (electronic cockpit gauges, airbag seat belts, etc) but it has been illegal to install them in older aircraft because of the FAAs very slow, expensive certification process. Finally, in the last year or so, the FAA got serious about what's called "Part 23 reform" which will vastly streamline the process for safety upgrades in older aircraft.

Also, I don't want this comment to be interpreted as shitting on the FAA. I'm a libertarian leaning former liberal who generally has very low confidence in our government but I consider the FAA, with their insane safety record of which I'm a massive fanboy, to be a exception.

At least they do it properly; as a site.

Your extension only works on Chrome, and it is for a feature that is not used commonly. There is no good reason to install it on a web browser.

Installing it in a browser is also a threat that the extension might do more than just scanning sites, and even if it doesn't affect privacy it still encourages installing extra junk on web browsers.

Here’s why Santee Cooper started, stopped nuclear plants
Once you cast a wide net like this, the arguments against casting an even wider net are weakened through precedent.
This is pretty cool - my spouse is home schooling our children and they absolutely love the "My Body" book. My 5 year-old was actually teaching me things the other day.
"Santee Cooper’s decision 10 years ago to invest in the project was for the right reasons. Our board had voluntarily set a goal to reduce Santee Cooper’s carbon footprint. At the time, the best way to do that was nuclear. Natural gas was four times as expensive as now, and renewables were twice as expensive as existing generation. In addition, demand for electricity before the great recession was growing. In the 10 years since then, all of that has changed. Third, even with changed facts, we would have completed the new units if Westinghouse had lived up to its contract to complete the project for an agreed fixed price."

Both USCIS and CBP oftentimes will reject TN applications by founders, owners, and executives. This isn;t necessarily justified legally but it has become common practice.
Agreed. And currently available phones are really expensive. Supposedly the Moto X4 will work on Fi soon, but that's gone from a lower cost phone to a higher one, last I read. Around $400. I was hoping for $250-300, in case one of my 3 5x's bootloops or dies.

At this point, I really, really like Project Fi. Too bad Google can't get more phones out, though.
Could it be possible there was hostile action aboard the US Navy vessel? There may have been a (possibly classified) incident in progress at the time of the collision.

If we accept that premise (which seems to be the most controversial aspect of this case), and accept that the prosecution need unilateral access to all database records, then the judge's restricted timeframe fits as part of a good ruling. Also sealing any extraneous information is a good step.

However, there is still something lacking.

Setting a precedent here is important, and if the past is a guide, the precedent would be abused.

The only thing I can think of to discourage future wide-reaching warrants of this kind, is compensation.

For every individual who has their rights violated, in the pursuit of others, compensation is usually able to be granted, in most cases.

So, tie it to this case.

Such a wide-reaching warrant may be granted in difficult circumstances, if every individual whose privacy is ignored, and has no guilt in the investigated matter, are immediately granted compensation.

It doesn't even have to be much, because the cost of such a warrant would scale with the number of people they are ignoring.

EVERY Tech Interview Ever [parody]
> there's no acceptable way to pass a function body to another in Python.

There are sentences which are telling a huge incompetence about the person using these.

This sounds the same story to me as "We used tech X, but X is shit/can't do something so we switched to Y, and Y is awesome and fast."
Where the person switching was just incompetent with X but it would have been perfectly solvable and they just do a totally different thing with Y.

In the specific "passing a function" case, yes, it's impossible to pass only a function body, but I think it's impossible to do in JavaScript also? (correct me if I'm wrong), because you pass in function. You can do the same in Python by defining a function in the same scope and passing that in. If you don't like that, it's just one opinion, not necessarily good or bad. For example, I find it ugly and difficult to handle nesting this multiple times (defining another anonymous function inside an anonymous function) which is called "callback hell" if I understand right, but that's just my opinion also, because people seem to able to accept this hell. :)

Generally speaking, I have yet to find a solid sports forum. The best I have found so far is /r/AFL. Occasionally, team subreddits are okay, but they can range from dead to meme-tastic.

The best solution I have found for sports is twitter. I found other (reasonable) fans and can interact with and follow whomever I choose. The downside to twitter is it takes time to figure out who to follow. Also, the more people you follow, the more noise that creeps in. This is why I make heavy use of muting by keyword. It is my feed. I don't have to listen to you talk about things I am not interested in.

> "If you care about CPU-heavy computation, you care about not using an interpreted language to do it, because if you pay a 10x performance penalty, that turns your 16-core machine back into an effective 1-core machine. "

> "Edit: Would someone like to explain what is wrong with the idea that people who care about CPU-heavy computation also need to care about the performance of the language they are using rather than just downmodding it?"

You first talk about interpreters and then you talk about performance. They're not perfectly correlated. Given how modern implementations of languages are not either simple token processing state machines of the 1980s or simple compilers of the same period, this equivocation of yours seems out of place in the 2010s. A proper interpreter like LuaJIT can not only reach very decent performance on computationally expensive stuff (1x-2x of C run time in Scimark 2, depending on the particular test, for example) but also allow for delaying computation to as late a time as possible and then generating specialized code based on the increased amount of information available. That can be done not only even across modules (which static compilers still struggle with without some kind of link-time optimizations) but also depending on actual data at run time (which static compilers are completely incapable of, unless they're somehow embedded into the final application - an option that, e.g., Lisp programs can use if they choose so).
The point is that the page layout, i.e. where the fold positions, address field, letter title, reference numbers, date, logo, and actual content go, is standardised as well (DIN 5008). Nobody forces you to use that standard but it frees your mind thinking about actually important stuff so everybody does.

This doesn't help against incorrectly using a folder-inserter but I have never seen that happen. What does the user need to do to have an incorrect fold?
Sometimes yes, sometimes now. It can depend on the sufficiency of the documentation confirming this work.

I haven't been personally in this situation, but I've been at a company that was afraid we were gonna lose the contract because of a miscommunication between their office and our office, where "no-contact" request was not honored.

I honestly had no idea what you just told me. My focus was on the illegal disclosure by the trusted health care company, because that was the angle I experienced a (much smaller scale) similar situation from.

(I know HIV clinics have no-contact lists, but I am skeptical whether or not health insurance companies do. This story is just a colossal mess, too many layers of wrong for me to comprehend.)

The article is pretty vague on the specifics of the ramifications of the new request. It says 1.3 million, but that seems to be in reference to the broader request. From what I can tell the more narrow request both narrows down the timeframe, and specifies disruptj20.org visitors? It's hard for me to tell from the article.
