If they are concerned enough about unnecessarily ruining lives to change the Miranda warning, why not focus more on exercising the most powerful tool we have in our criminal justice system: prosecutorial discretion? After all, the cops reading the Miranda warning can only bring people to jail; it’s the prosecutors that keep them there.

Prosecutors have the ability to not file cases at all. They also have the ability to offer diversion programs, wherein accused criminals can voluntarily agree to community-based sanctions/supervision in exchange for their cases not being filed. These do exist in some jurisdictions today, but tend to be offered to a very small percentage of defendants.

In short: if they really cared about ruining lives, they’d stop trying so hard to ruin lives (in all but the most serious cases). Changing the Miranda warning may be a very small step forward, but getting prosecutors on board is the only way to make a real difference.
Easy to preach, but much can go wrong, people can get ill, people can get in trouble, people can get addicted, people can get used by others (mothers, daughters, friends, bosses). What then, will you front and deal with it? Will you try and sail the ship through the storm? Or will you make a list of the good things that you could have had if only?
They are both adults. Neither of them needs to take responsibility for the other eating dinner. It's not like he's going to starve to death without her intervention.

Until they remove career-advancing incentives for prosecutors that are tied to case outcomes and numbers of filings, this probably won't happen.
In fact, the few people I know that are quick to find people guilty in the court of public opinion are not conservatives.

This is, of course, such an obvious softball to those ready to trot out "no true Scotsman" that even mentioning it seems trite. I've known plenty that would argue "if you got arrested, you're probably guilty of something" that I would consider to be conservative. But you're probably arguing the division between "cranky old people that wish it were 1954 again" (the kind I'm thinking of) and small government/low tax/personal responsibility kind of conservative.
Wait. Is this true? If so, that's cool. I know your comment was sarcastic, but as a grad student in math I've futzed with category theory enough that those words mean more to me than the raw Kleisli triple definition.
Works well with pyqt as well. It's a dream environment writing cross platform apps, and since they're compiled, distribution (especially on win/osx) is really simple. Highly recommended!
>You have the right to remain silent, which means that you don’t have to say anything.

>It’s OK if you don’t want to talk to me.

They completely left the part out how whatever you say to the officer can be used as evidence in court (and perhaps against you). No kid is going to pick up on that implication.

EDIT: No idea why I'm getting downvoted. Even with the rest of the text, it DOES NOT imply that whatever they say to the officer could cause them to lose their case in the future.
A+++ you speak the truth. This is another bullshut move trumpeted up as something meaningful.
No it probably won't (I mean, it might result from a worldwide event, but it won't likely cause one.)

Most likely, other than being caused by a global catastrophe, is that the center of global finance gradually shifts elsewhere long before the US dollar becomes worthless, and if that ever happens, barely anyone (outside of the US, especially) notices much.
It seems to have taken about a year for basic information about last year's misinformation campaign to come out. 3 years from now there'll be another election and presumably another misinformation campaign. Should we be optimistic that someone will be on top of it before the election?
Yeah for really big crawls your probably better off sticking it on a server or AWS, as much as anything so you don't need to leave your computer on for ages.

But Sitebulb is not resource hungry in the same was as other desktop crawlers. It saves to disk instead of using RAM, so you don't experience the same limitations.

I'm not sure what you mean about Google. There is no link between Sitebulb and Google - it doesn't visit Google at all, so there is no risk of banning. Using it on your 100 Mb work line would be ideal.

Because they're not the one that conflated gender with understanding, and that's what I found interesting about your exchange. The rest of the discussion was just a common form of miscommunication that happens when someone wants to talk about specifics and the other wants to talk in generics, and the two collide.
The most interesting thing in this article to me is the realization that the Velodyne that makes lidar is the same Velodyne that made subwoofers. I always thought they just shared a name.

I wonder how on earth that pivot happened.
Excellent post. I like it better then the one posted here.
If this is what the author wanted, which I 100% agree with you it is, why didn't she just say that? Admittedly, I often find myself in the clueless husband role, but my wife has been making a huge effort to directly say what she wants. The result is that both of us are much happier. If the author of this article wanted her husband to do the legwork of finding a housekeeper she should have asked for exactly that.

And yet, the actual changes seem to mostly have to do with language skills, comprehension, and familiarity with the US legal system. Compare:
Original Miranda warning: "You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish."
Revised "for kids" Miranda warning: "You have the right to talk to a free lawyer right now. That free lawyer works for you and is available at any time – even late at night. That lawyer does not tell anyone what you tell them."
Given that the original Miranda case had to do with immigrants, I think the revised version is actually much more fitting to the purpose than the current standard.

I know Ableton Live very well, and yes it's a very good example of hard stuff done right. But I wouldn't include it in the list of "apps that are so user friendly that you don't need to read the docs".

I remember that. It's like a drive carousel but without the arm.

I also recall years ago reading about someone who was modifying RAID controllers to spin up the drives one at a time on a cold boot, because peak current draw occurs while spinning up the drives. They were getting brownouts when an entire array spun up at exactly the same time. So they spun them up over a couple of seconds and everything was fine.
I am not conflating anything and I have no idea why you would claim that I am.

> I thought the Supreme Court said that you had to explicitly state your refusal to answer questions, and simply stopping answering questions could be considered a response that can be used against you.

The first half of that sentence is correct. Not so sure about the second half.

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/supreme-court/2010/06/supre...
my wife and i have the same concern. we fully intend to make them work as hard as we did. though theory is often more difficult to translate into actual practice. it's not feasible to move out of a good community that you spent your life working towards just so your kids can understand the meaning of what it's like to live poor, like your parents did.
Since it's more widely accepted to be a significant part of the threat model, there should be more attention and effort focussed on identifying and revealing information about it.

OTOH, there will be misinformation directed to confuse the public about that, too, and that may be challenging to sort out.
You missed it?

"If you do want to talk to me, I can tell the juvenile court judge or adult court judge and Probation Officer what you tell me."

> What is the state subsidy Deliveroo is receiving? If they are receiving one, then sure I don't agree with it. If it's the VC's that are wasting their own money, I see nothing wrong with that.

By "state subsidy" I mean the state topping up the employee's wages, through for example Working Tax Credits (in the UK) or food stamps and Medicaid (in the US). If it wasn't for those and the push towards working at any cost, my thesis was that these companies would have to pay more (either in terms of actual money or benefits) or have trouble finding people to make their business operate.

> Who's money? The consumers money? Or the VC's money? Are you saying through taxation because I thoroughly disagree.

Taxpayers, because of the first part of this reply. I'm not talking about additional taxation here, I'm talking about money that's currently spent on benefits for the low paid that wouldn't be spent if they weren't low paid.

> > a number of the people working there are doing so through a shortage of alternatives

> Right? Maybe I'm missing what you're saying. But possibly people are willing to pay for goods only at a certain price and if the price was bumped up, those services simply wouldn't be bought. And those jobs wouldn't exist. It doesn't necessarily mean better paying jobs will fill in the gap.

It was a reply to you saying "voluntarily chose to be employed by that service" and the general theme whenever low pay comes up of "well, they can just get other/more jobs" (see also: the McDonald's CEO saying "just get a second job" [1]).

My original comment in this thread did mention UBI, so the alternative isn't necessarily "let's magic high-paying jobs out of thin air" :)

Also, these jobs (and also higher paid ones) are going to go away because of automation. Uber are explicitly aiming for that goal. At some point, the issue of what's going to happen to those employees has to be dealt with by society and politicians.

> It's also not as straightforward as you are implying

I may have made it sound otherwise but I'm well aware that the problem is nothing like straightforward. Waaaaay back at the beginning I warned about unintended consequences.

> To make that happen you need to make the environment friendly to job creators - those willing to take the risk and start their own company.

This doesn't seem relevant - is your implication that if businesses are required to pay wages such that their staff aren't having to also claim state benefits for food, that's somehow not conducive to founding businesses?

I do, however, agree that the conditions have to be right for entrepreneurship, with the reservation that "business friendly" lately seems to be synonymous with "minimal regulation/tax".

If you go far enough back, South America and Africa were 1 continent. Go even further and, at several times, there was only 1 continent on Earth. Go even further back and there were no continents. So maybe we should just to away with the notion of having continents in the first place.
This is a great application and something I can actually learn and use now. What a way to motivate learning :-)
Yet Another Cats as the Service Service....awesome.
Well, without radically changing the economic system, your compensation will be, at most, the cost of replacing you, and the gap between your compensation and that figure depends on the information gap, and the chutzpah with which you negotiate.

I'd wager that if developers renegotiated their contracts at the point where they were most irreplaceable on projects they would be able to extract a lot more money.
it's impressive, granted. But it feels like a parody, the long loading-time, the horrible UI, the weird scrolling. It just screams Java.
Not to mention writing books, writing for television, plays, screenplays, etc.
You can also have no lock screen password or a trivial pattern. Not everybody requires the same level of safety. I'm not expecting my phone to be safe against physical access at all (although it probably is).
I think you might bundle Founders in as super-employees. Executives place themselves above Employees but then won’t take the risks that Founders do.
It's not emotional labor. It's that she tends to worry and obsess over routine decisions, and he can't be cared to put in effort on things that aren't important to him directly. Even if he changed, she would still nag and belittle his choices because she still worries and obsesses; even if she changed, he would half-ass and still be lazy. They both have to change, and they don't need to make it into this grand narrative of emotional labor.

She should not expect him to ask five friends on facebook to find a cleaning service. He should realize that it is important to her to have one and just get one instead of complaining to her about it. Both failed, and it had little to do with any grand feminist narrative.
It's not impossible nor is it misleading. I think, frankly, that what you're saying is misleading.

You're able to do that because you're obviously "unattached" or "young"... You live in an apartment with a roommate. That's probably fine when you're single/dating. It's not super appealing when you're a person with a spouse and kid(s)... Also, as one progresses in age, there is a desire to stop having 'roommates' and perhaps even consider owning something.

The cost goes up considerably within those parameters.

It's "easy" to save 40% of your income if you live like a college sophomore in a dorm. It's not when you have other responsibilities.
This looks great, thank you!

It was an unreasonable request to begin with.

She wanted two things. She wanted someone else to clean the house. This is fine. It happens all the time. But the second thing was that it still had to be done to her exacting standards.

So the request was, in essence, "First, become me. Then do this thing that I want in exactly the way I would do it." Hidden requirements.

The husband, not understanding this, went about hiring the cleaners in his own way, to meet his own standards. I know exactly how I would do it. I would set a budget limit of $300, which is acceptable for the spouse-to-spouse birthday gifts in our household, and try really hard to find someone to clean once a month for 12 months at $25 a pop, which seems like the minimum amount that would be required to get the van to roll, for a 90 minute appointment.

All that "household office work"? Don't do it. Instead of spending 30 minutes on the phone with a cleaning service, haggling and scheduling, scrub one toilet. Instead of vetting a person to make sure they won't pinch your porcelain statuette, vacuum the floors. You don't need administration and management in an organization with less than 6 people in it. If you're one of those "all children are a blessing" families, with 10+ people in one house, yes, someone needs to be a household manager. But for most families, the chore chart is as far as it needs to go. Stop whining about how hard it is to micromanage everything, and let other people have their own responsibilities, with their own performance standards.

If you like everything done just so, you're going to have to be the one doing all the things.

And I know how it would turn out, too. My spouse would end up cleaning the house the day before the cleaners were scheduled, so they wouldn't be cleaning a dirty house. Madness. Knowing this, I would simply get a gift of comparable value that was not requested. And I'm not even going to explain why, because that way leads to a fight.
I see how some people just get the math, but I don't see why programmers here say they find it difficult to understand the window / offset explanation the article gives.

A "window" is a common programming term for a range between two values.

An "offset" is a common term for where a value falls after a starting point.

In simpler decimal and equidistant terms, the idea is to split a range of values in windows, divide each window in N values, and store an FP number by storing which window and which index inside the window (0 to N) it falls.

The FP scheme actually uses powers of 2 instead of equal distant windows (so the granularity becomes coarser as the numbers become bigger) but the principle is the same.
King County is already using prosecutorial discretion to reduce the number of criminal prosecutions that lead to jail and have been for some time.

Not claiming that we shouldn't do more work here but the Miranda warning changes are in tandem with other improvements here.

> They say that wealth skips every other generation

Strangely, in all the empirical studies of socioeconomic status and its relations to family and environment, I've ever seen one detect that effect.

I suspect that the popular saying really just reflects that parents and children have high contact and lots of friction, and grandparents and grandchildren less so, and nothing about the reality of wealth or hard work.
I'm not sure it is clear what fee-based means in the article. There are some that get a commission based on the products that they sell. In other words, the mutual fund that they use they might get a cut of. A fee-only adviser is one who takes a certain percentage each year. This is the kind that you want as it is in their best interest to grow your account and they won't move your money unnecessarily just to generate commission. The ones that get commission based on products are making money in hidden ways, but they are making money. Much better to have it up front and out in the open.
As an Executive, I find the other two to be painful to deal with.
It's also possible to talk about it without sounding crazy.

Of course, some people will still try and make it seem like it's a crazy idea, but they do the same with AGW.

Having media sources most people respect on board with the basic notion should help.

I'm assuming low. Just looking at the first map in the article, the one zoomed in to Australia and New Zealand... The Tasman Sea looks to obviously separate the two masses for most of what would be their shared extent.

Also, just because continents are touching, does not mean they aren't separate. Europe, Asia, and Africa are all one continuous land mass. (The Suez canal technically separated Africa from Asia, but it certainly doesn't cut through the depth of the entire continent.) And we're only one Bering Strait away from connecting all that to North and South America.
But there are several communities much closer to SF than SFO that are much cheaper than either.
For most people, college education funges against job experience. It's hard to work full time while also being a college student.
Some of us are visual thinkers and understand things easier if there are images attached :-). Personally i think almost completely in images so i'd have to somehow visualize something to understand it :-P someone doing it for me helps immensely.

People who can save can save anywhere. People who will overspend will overspend anywhere.

This doesn't mean move to the Bay Area to be a janitor. Some jobs will absolutely make it difficult to afford the cost of living.

But with good discipline, I'd argue it's typically easier to save (in absolute dollar terms) in a high-COL place than a low one.
How is this issue unique to strings? Nobody can look at a random graph and know what it stands for either. Otherwise there would be no need for labeled axes. You still need to explain what is it that we're looking at

This isn't to say that visualizations aren't useful, of course.
Let me give you a different perspective on this -- yes, it is possible. Heck, even living on 10k is possible -- you could put up a tent and live in that. You could live in a camp ground. One could even forage for wild berries for sustenance. Almost anything is possible if one is to split hairs...

Except it isn't what most tech workers expected. The vast majority of tech workers I know have sacrificed a lot and work very hard. Many paid top dollar to go to top schools. They spent their entire 20s working nights and weekends to learn as much as they could. I spent college studying red black trees instead of going to frat parties. I still spend parts of my weekend just keeping up with technology. So me and my friends find it difficult to swallow that despite all this, we struggle to have even a sliver of what our parents enjoyed almost as an American right. Yes, it is better than what people have in Africa or Detroit, but it isnt what many people expected. Yes, it is better than what baristas get, but it isnt what people expected.

As for me, I've lived in NYC most of my life and there are few building restrictions. So while it is expensive, it isnt as absurd as the bay area. I also yearn to build things, but spent much of my career trying to squeeze more $ out of trading algos...mostly because it supported a better lifestyle.

Obviously low interest rates, tax policies, and poor land usage is to blame for a lot in the bay area. But whatever the reasons, step back and consider a world where people with Top-5 university degrees in computer science and illustrious careers are told to keep random strangers as roommates with their 2yo and 5yo children...
I agree with you, but there is something that most people aren't aware of: if you're booked into a jail, that record stays with you forever, regardless of whether you are formally charged or not. I think that is what they're trying to prevent by this measure, which is absolutely amazing.

Other good things: if police don't think they can make a good enough case, it will free them up to focus on more serious crimes. Youth won't be placed in the same holding cell as rapists, murderers etc. Less public resources spent on keeping people in jail.
