"Rolling coal" remains an illegal modification, practiced by scofflaws. TÜVs are not immune to conflicts of interests.[0] And while generally not a separate sticker from annual car registrations, annual or biennial emissions testings are carried out by most states.[1]

>any sudden punishment of violators from outside reeks of market protection.

Perhaps it's because the EU lacks the authority of the member states to regulate & police emission laws. They started legal proceedings against their member states precisely because of their inaction.

"The European Commission on Thursday began the so-called "infringement procedures," calling Germany, Britain, Spain and Luxembourg to account for not imposing the same kind of penalties Volkswagen faced in the United States for using illegal software to mask health-harming emissions."[2]

Isn't that market protection as well?

I completely agree with this statement:

> it's typically difficult to accomplish great things
> without mentorship and support.

And this is how I have seen it play out as I've mentored folks. When someone talks with others about the great things they are trying to accomplish (as opposed to people talk about great things they say they will accomplish) and listens for useful feedback, they not only develop a network of mentors, but they advance in their understanding of the task at hand.

When I was president of the local robotics club we asked people who were building robots to tell us what we wanted them to accomplish. In my case I wanted a robot that would respond to a voice command for a Diet Dr Pepper, go fetch it, replace stock if the refrigerator was low, and bring it back to me. When I started that quest in the mid '80s it was a pretty tall order. Some people just said "you're crazy, that is too complicated for a robot to do." But the people who were worth listening too asked good questions like "Is it important that the refrigerator is general purpose or can you modify it to make it easier for the robot to access?" That led to ideas like the "Giant Tube of Sodas" refrigerator idea where soda was put into the tube at the top, the tube is wrapped in cooling coils, the bottom is easy access for a robot gripper. The questions and the mentorship I received not only taught me about some of the things I didn't know (like inverse kinematics for robotics) but also how to ask about what the real problem was versus the apparent problem (using a "regular" fridge is a lot harder problem than a custom fridge for example).

The people who are successful, and incidentally develop strong networks, are the ones that share what they are trying to accomplish and listen to the feedback; while not being discouraged by the "that's a stupid goal" type feedback.
This is where that scene came from.
I think you have some causes and effect swapped. I suspect people pirate because some things aren't available in your area not the other way around.

There are tons of cases where video game companies do things like release a Russian translation on day 1 and for every other game from that studio it came two weeks later, then for that one title Russian piracy is almost non-existent.
But in Sweden almost EVERYONE (full time workers) gets 5 weeks vacation, 4 weeks contiguous, no questions asked. Not just engineers at great companies.

>If you are debugging a third-party package, you have already decided to fork it by virtue of what debugging requires.

I think we disagree on two separate issues that shouldn't be conflated.

The first issue is whether the only purpose of a stack trace coming from a third party library is to actually debug that library. I suggest that this is not the the case.

I may simply want to understand what's going on in there. Maybe I'm passing incorrect data to that library, but the returned error is not specific enough to tell me what I did wrong. Maybe the error is somewhere further down in my own code (e.g. in a callback), in a different library altogether or related to the environment (missing file, broken database connection, ..). Or I may just want to post the stack trace in a support forum to get help.

I have often been looking at stack traces from third party libraries, but I have rarely wanted to debug those libraries.

Our second disagreement is perhaps a more gradual one. You seem to suggest that maintaining a fork is something completely normal or even desirable. I think it is something extremely undesirable - a last resort.

In any case, I do not believe that the Go creators have ever suggested that maintaining a fork is something you should do willy nilly or something that everybody should do all the time. This is different from the use of vendoring for versioning purposes. If the Go creators did in fact promote such a thing, I would strongly disagree with them.
How much does advertising and marketing add to the price of products in grocery stores? Can Amazon reduce that extra cost by reaching people in new ways, or by creating its own brands? Store brands are generally pretty good and cost less. Maybe it's food manufacturers that should be worried, not retailers. The premium one pays for advertised brands might become a thing of the past.

If I had wrote that, it would have been about how it led to the development of the Cesarean section operation. In the US, and many other places, the prevalence is much higher than the medical need. When there is no medical need for a C-section, there really isn't any benefit over the risks to the mother and child. Also--and this will probably sound quite hand-wavy or too woo-woo for most of HN's demographic (I assume)--there is great emotional benefit from a baby passing through the vagina.
> More expensive energy -> less energy use -> lower standard of living.

This makes 2 assumptions which I find to be false.

1) Any drop in the standard of living is bad. e.g. I don't need to be freezing in a store in the middle of summer.

2) Less energy use necessitates a drop in the standard of living. e.g. using energy more efficiently via lights and insulation.

Police violence? War on Terror? Armed border patrols?

Artisan? As in artisan breads? I'm not so sure that's the best fit. Yes, I rise. But I don't want to be sliced and buttered :)

Ultimately, the issue for me is when people use the wrong title (?) to describe their level of experience, skill and overall sweet spot.

For example, a programmer is not a developer, and a developer is not an engineer. So when a programmer describes themselves as an engineer - to someone who has no idea what the difference is - that just ruins it for everyone. Not to point fingers in a negative way but the WordPress community is notorious for such shenanigans.

What I find more interesting is how form follows function in this numbering system. It is the clay "writing" system of pressing a kind of wedge into the clay in a layered fashion that gave form to the numbering system as a matter of practicality from the medium. The clay dictated how to "write" the numbers, it wasn't simply a matter of a writing system that was simply recorded in the medium of clay. It is precisely why that "writing" system did not survive the transition tho papyrus or parchment. Or, in other words, it was deemed to have advantageous characteristics that were then adapted to through the numbering system.
> I suspect people pirate because some things aren't available in your area not the other way around.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. Listed above are what I believe might be causes of high piracy rates, not effects.
Organic food is already becoming cheaper due to it being available even at low end grocery stores. Whole Food's margins have been falling for years due to this fact. What I find interesting is that Amazon intentionally keeps their operating margins at 4%. This is a reason they are very hard to compete with. What I find interesting about the grocery purchase, is that most grocery stores have very small margins already, and I wonder how much this signals the beginning of Amazon buying into lots of other low margin businesses.
Oh yeah - his response was definitely reasonable if the facts are that the supposed evidence against him was trumped up and he's in the right.

I'm just trying to figure out if his response is also what I'd expect to see if the facts are that the supposed evidence against him is completely accurate and that he's a toxic contributor who's trying to hurt the project.

It's not a matter of "career stability." It's a matter of the printer you send work to only being willing to work with PSD or PDF. If no one uses Gimp, and none of your tools integrate with Gimp's native format, and no one else's tools do either, and no one can open the files in their email, making them less portable than Adobe files, then Gimp is a technical liability, regardless of its quality.

> The OS/process analogy doesn't hold here. The process has completely isolated state from the kernel.

In one direction. That's why I'm asking you if you reboot your machine when your kernel dereferences a wild pointer when executing a system call on behalf a process - in theory it could have corrupted the kernel itself or any process on the system, but Linux makes a practice of trying to just abort execution of the system call, kill the process, and keep going.
This seems really viable.

Deflecting is still better than absorbing on the roof top, since roof top means 100% warmth absorption and deflection always less than 100%, probably only a fraction of that.
> throw something away and do it again.

This jumped out at me too. This is such a HUGE fallacy. If what you have written is core to or is the product you're selling, you can't just rewrite it! Software evolves over time, and it can become difficult to replace it when it gains features and bug fixes for random edge conditions.

Properly replacing existing software requires having a consistent API against which you are developing and can test to make sure that it continues to work. And then having the ability to potentially dark launch new software next to old to see that it works properly. Even doing all of that, replacement projects often fail, why? Simply because most organizations can't afford to have a team that is not contributing to the bottom line of delivering features to customers.

Doing a replacement project should never be started without a significant amount of thought and attention. Software always takes longer to develop than you think, I even underestimate "Hello World!" most of the time.
In other words, there will be obvious scientific challenges to the validity of such a study...

>>How does intellectual property work for published research based on approaches developed while consulting for a company?

This is negotiable upfront for industrial research positions. You should always review your IP contract inside your job offer packet and battle HR/management hard on the rights to the IP and compensation surrounding it. Most boilerplate language assigns all IP rights to the company you work for with a maximum of $1 consideration paid for your work (to satisfy contract law if it is ever argued in a court), with acknowledgements or minor credit to you in the official documentation.

Needless to say, you shouldn't blindly agree to that unless your base salary is commensurate with such a loss of control and future rights of your work.

I've been disappointed once with them.

Bought 2 tickets (one for me, one for GF). She was assigned a seat, I was told they don't allot all seats for any given flight and that I would get that seat at the gate. Couldn't change through Alaska Airlines phone/web portal. At the gate they gave me a seat in the very back of the plane since all the other seats had been assigned. It's crazy to me that I couldn't choose seats on purchase - especially when buying 2 together.

For doing SPI within an FPGA under these rules, you would have the input clock as a signal sampled by the FPGA clock not used as a flop clock, and detect a falling edge synchronously with a chain of two flops.

Works very well so long as master clock speed >> SPI speed.

Chef. I've previously used Ansible and Saltstack. I haven't tried any others.

When I first started using Chef, it was for work and I wasn't a fan at all. But, it's grown on me to the extent that I replaced all my Ansible-maintained infrastructure with Chef and I now maintain my own personal Chef server.

It can definitely be overcomplicated in some scenarios, but I'm comfortable using it and and I feel of the tools I've tried, it allows me to be the most expressive. I'd much rather write a Ruby Chef recipe than a YAML Ansible playbook.

The fact that Chef's Management Console UI[0] is available for free (for small deployments) while Ansible Tower[1]'s pricing starts at $5000/yr also factors into my choice. It appears that Red Hat has plans to make a free, open source version of Tower[2] but there's nothing there yet. Looking online, it looks like Saltstack maintains a GUI management console of some sorts, but it's only available for Saltstack Enterprise.

We're at 400 ppm CO2 right now. So your feeling is that we'll probably start reducing carbon emissions once we double the amount of carbon in the air?

450 ppm is often held up as a catastrophic point of no return. I don't know if that's alarmist. Let's say it is! Maybe we'd have to get all the way to 600 ppm before it was genuinely a catastrophe. But I'm pretty confident that if we reach 700 ppm, we're fucked.

Germany has had laws against Nazi symbolism and activity for decades. This isn't new. "Now there is no free speech" is the rewriting of history--and it smells pretty disingenuous.

And Reporters Without Borders ranks Germany sixteenth in the world as far as press freedom goes. The United States is forty-third, behind such leading lights as Belize and Burkina Faso. The understanding that is that support of Nazism serves primarily as a declaration of the intent to commit violence, and the state reacting thereto, sure doesn't seem to be a problem.

Yep. And a whole host of other speech is illegal too. And the world isn't failing quite yet. And I have no doubt that the precise details of exactly where you draw the line between what is acceptable and what is not isn't always going to make a huge difference; nor do I have any evidence that whatever happens to be the law in the US is likely to be optimal if indeed these difficult tradeoffs must be made.

In short: merely yelling "free speech!" doesn't really resolve anything. Might as well yell "free noise!", at least that way there's truth in advertising.
