If I slam on my brakes while driving on the freeway, throw my car into reverse, and manage to get home without hitting anyone, I’ve still broken the law. I think we want to sanction dangerous behavior regardless of outcome. That Shkreli didn’t lose his investors’ money is luck and should have nothing to do with his punishment for doing something that could well have lost people money.

Thanks, I'll give it a read! I think I'd had a bit of coffee when I wrote that.
Also an example of ineffective regulation.
"He just issued a new company culture statement." That's the funniest thing I've read all day.
All things equal I would argue with your argument. The fact that David Mcclure had to step down due to long-term sexual harassment of women makes the parent statement little bit less crazy. But still I would argue statements like that should not be made without direct evidence.
An actual Russell’s Teapot (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot) would have been a good addition to the solar system, but this is even better.
They can not only be remotely upgraded, but remotely reprogrammed to avoid bad bits. 1970s computers were primitive by our standards, but not that primitive.
Whoa. That's pretty bad. According to someone in Australia the Apple Stores there are getting swamped!

Reparations are warranted for institutional discrimination, which is unjust and now illegal. It wasn't just loans, but a systemic, society-wide practice of minimizing investment in black neighborhoods, causing (among other things) large inequalities in home values and therefore wealth between white and black neighborhoods. If we have affirmative action for education, why not affirmative investment too? While private lenders were responsible, it's difficult to make them to do anything, so we have to look to the government to right this wrong.
I don't even find him to be particularly loathsome, really.

The thing is, Shkreli is a provocateur. He says and does things to elicit a reaction from people. He very clearly said one too many stupid things and as a result of it, they are throwing the book at him VERY hard here.

Whereas with someone else in his position, there probably would have been a quiet settlement for time served with little to no fines (as there are no real damages that I can see) there's literally no way that they can do that here. There are WAY too many eyes on this case for them to cut him a deal even if such a deal is de rigueur and that is 100% Shkreli's fault. He pushed and he pushed and he pushed till he built up so much bad karma that he literally ended up in jail. Even when he does things that, when you look into them REALLY deeply are perhaps good (like the Epi-Pen fiasco), he comes off 100% as an arrogant asshole who deserves condemnation anyway.
I'd rather use data honestly.
In DC the word Secretary is CEO or EVP.
Sure, if you care so much about maintaining your low density lifestyle, go ahead and move there. And if you’re not willing to move there yourself, maybe you should consider why other people wouldn’t either.
Not true. Arson requires malicious intent / lack of consent.
This. The first thing that came to my mind. Most of the time, if a local wifi login screen asks me to create an account, I just close it.
Much better, yes.

Yep, that's what the statement looked like it meant to me on the first reading.
> A situation in which all relevant assets are priced appropriately and there is no way for one's gains to outpace market gains without taking on more risk. Assuming an arbitrage-free condition is important in financial models, thought its existence is mainly theoretical.

Perhaps more to the point, we live in a world where governments can stimulate investment in stocks by manipulating the interest rates of bonds and maintaining steady inflation, and yet I am to believe that if, in effect, you could collect interest with zero risk by just holding your money, it wouldn't have any effect on the economy? Just as many people would be investing as in the current situation, where if you do that you're losing money? It seems hard to justify all the rhetoric about "war on savers" if that's the case. How does the no-arbitrage principle actually explain this away?
Or you can decide the maximum number of conversions that you'll spend

What are "conversions" in this context?
no they dont , they care to take the top comment stop and show once again that HN is becomeing useless.

Im all for the removal of politics but can you remove the dumb stuff at the same time. That would be cool.
Instincts is not how laws work. You instincts might tell you what is just, but that's not necessarily what is committed to laws.
The charter and purpose of the judicial system is to interpret the law. The “letter of the law” is not sacred.
And that's the problem -- people want it both ways. They want the wild economy and real estate appreciation but don't want to deal with the reality of living in a boom town. It's classic "I got mine" syndrome.
How could a rocket system, which when in operation vents reaction mass into the vacuum of space, ever qualify as a “sealed system”? Surely only the storage tanks could ever qualify as being a “sealed system”, and even then an imperfect one, because there must be one or more potentially leaky valves leading to the actual nozzle somehow?
> Is it a disgrace for the law to find a way to stick it to them?

If you don't uphold the civil rights of the loathsome, then those protections won't be there to protect the righteous.

It's worth remembering that while Shkrelli is super unlikeable, at various points in history, so were Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, etc.

I don't think the spam is much of an issue--just use your spam email. For me, privacy is the bigger problem.

Even when I go to a restaurant, I don't need their special offers to go back again. If I liked the experience, I will return myself, if I didn't, no offer would make me. And unless I am in the airport or out for a long time, I don't use the local wifi if it asks to create an account.
except if they actually verify the email doesn't bounce and you don't have a cell-data device, then you need the wifi in order to get your 10minutemail address…
Quaternions are four-dimensional, hence the radix quater, meaning “four”.
I do.

Heck, I was responsible for the first crashing bug found in System 7.0. It was found about six hours after GM images were released to manufacturing. It was a crashing bug. It was remotely exploitable. It was one freakin' register, for cryin' in your cornflakes.
I assume this is from the Turnstyle acquisition.

I'm finishing university in December, will travel to UK/Europe from Christmas Eve to Feb 7, am happy to do a face-to-face interview during that period. I interned at Configura and am currently writing an e-commerce PWA for my final year project using Node, React, MySQL, HTTP/2, Socket.IO and ES2015+.

I have a strong attention to detail, and I like to focus on giving users a good experience. If you are looking for someone to solve non-routine problems, I'm your man.
No, before you take over CEO of a company with a 8 year track record of being a pretty horrific company, coming off the CEO before forced out due to yet another scandal you get all the dirt before you sign on the dotted line. He knew about this before he took the role. It's all about in how he handles it.
Mobile data is still fairly expensive, honestly.
I'm glad you're not member to my judiciary.
At first I have the "lol really that's blunt, no way I am gonna use it", then I thought to myself, yeah that's really blunt and should give some credit for being blunt. But it'd be better if Yelp would at least give one or two examples....

Personally, I do find this disturbing. Regardless, I use my 4G.
Both are also independently contentious battles, too. We can’t treat bits agnostically; otherwise we have to accept DDoS attacks and do nothing to route around them/block bad nodes. We can treat opinions agnostically, until said opinions/speech start to infringe on the freedom of others. But we’ve always had a struggle in drawing that line. Likewise, what constitutes a bad node, ultimately? From the perspective of an ISP, that opinion ranges from the aforementioned DDoS, to Netflix for consuming the majority of their bandwidth. What about end users? Their opinions can differ too. A heavy torrent user can weigh down a local hub. Should an ISP just let them? The internet is far more a finite resource than some people are willing to accept.
V'Ger will come back.
> The way this man has been treated is a disgrace to our judicial system and society.

This comment reminds me of something Popehat wrote about Aaron Swartz:

> In short, Swartz's team seemed to view this as an unjust and broken application of a system to an undeserving man, not recognizing that the system is rigged and unjust and broken from the start. That's common among smart, educated, fortunate people. As I have discussed before, my fortunate clients are the most outraged at how they are treated by the criminal justice system, and most prone to seeing conspiracies and vendettas, because they are new to it — they have not questioned the premise that the system's goal is justice. My clients who have lived difficult lives in hard neighborhoods don't see a conspiracy; they recognize incompetence and brutal indifference and injustice as features, not bugs.

The “look for symmetries and conservation” edict is a direct emanation of Emily Noether's (First) Theorem, which basically places conserved quantities of a system of differential equations with the symmetry groups that system must exhibit. A deep, amazing, beautiful, bi-directional relationship between differential dynamics and abstract group algebra.
He said the destination is “mars orbit”. So if it gets there, it should be hanging out waiting for humanity to get there.

I wonder how long the battery pack on the tesla will run the radio.
How is this done? You need to get a router from them? Or is it just software and it works with some routers?

Its a victemless crime because he got lucky. If the whole scheme tanked, the fraud would be more obvious. I'm not sure the distinction is relevant.

If you knock over a liquor store and the register is empty, seems to me its still a crime even if you didn't make off with anything.
Ask HN: Can we set up a strictly-monitored chatbox?
Dear HN,

Is it possible for us to have a live chat-box that users can use to give answers to each other in real-time?

I believe this can be functional without being burdensome and intrusive. Hopefully one of us can write an intelligent bot that will filter useless spam and only allow valid stack-exchange like questions. The bot - as far as I know - won't be able to do a perfect job, but we can also have volunteer moderators to take care of spams that filter through.

The purpose of this chat-box would be to allow for the answering of a quick question that can be answered within 2-3 sentences.
This has been an issue at Uber for many years. Google 'Uber god view' and the scandals that came from that one.

You're right. The pharmaceutical exploitation that got the spotlight shined on him in the first place was reprehensible, to put it mildly.

But there are an awful lot of other crooks out there taking advantage of as many or more people, and often getting away with it with very little consequence.

I may not like him, but being dislikable shouldn't have that much effect on punishment.

I think it's about software / programming world and economics, not just startups. Still very niche, not stuff about life relevant to any non-tech person
So much, this.

I've also been imaging a Star Trek episode where the Enterprise encounters and picks up a Tesla from deep space. :D
Provocateurs wreak havoc by emboldening the idiots that love them. That's enough to make an example of him.
I suppose if the funds are earmarked for development only and can't be liquidated or used for buybacks then they're essentially already gone. If you assume that development has decreasing marginal utility (so spending $1B won't make Tezos much better than spending $200M) then I can imagine that investors would rather have their money back than have Tezos. Kind like how I'd rather have 1 BTC than my Trezor.
Somewhere between a few days and a few weeks. Vampire drain on Tesla's vehicles is already pretty bad (up to several percent a day) without tossing 'em into space where the battery heater has to run all the time.
Funnily enough, I think his issue is he's too principled. He hadn't allowed himself to be silenced by people he rightfully viewed as misinformed or poorly motivated. He's very proud and stubborn, and it'd be dishonest to say he doesn't deserve it.
Try consulting or entrepreneurship.

When you sell your time, you need to fit into a role that someone can comprehend and already knows they need.

When you sell your ability to deliver results, nobody asks about your skillset.
Maybe they now feel less important or proud. Whatever the case, it's not up to you to police this commenter's thoughts. Why did you decide to take time and energy to post a dictionary definition in attempt to do so? This just feels almost completely patronizing.
Welcome to the enigma - Is it a currency or an asset?
Indeed. It is the spirit of the law that is sacred.
T-Mobile “Unlimited” doesn’t throttle you until you hit upwards of 50GB in a month in the States, and my understanding is that mobile data is very inexpensive in Europe.
The opposite is supposed to be a component of our judicial system, in that during sentencing leniency can be applied for people that have otherwise been good citizens/are actually apologetic about their crime. It has been thoroughly been abused in that aspect, especially when it comes to sentencing for similar crimes when there is simply a difference of race.

But in the case of people being uncooperative and showing no remorse the system was designed to be able to allow the judge to give them the maximum sentence. He did everything possible to ensure that outcome.
It’s perfect if you think about it. They need weight for the launch, but why use expensive equipment when the odds are high it won’t even leave Earth atmosphere. It’s a massive PR stunt, I mean, what other car company has a car just orbiting Mars casually... and yeah, I guess a large orbit around Mars would just keep orbiting for a Billion years haha.

25 years from now: Did we get station five’s orbit around Mars set yet? No sir, we had to move it because Elon’s damn car was orbiting too close to us... dammit Elon

this is a trivial issue for AMZN to overcome. How hard will it be for them to hire Pharmacy executives, compliance people, etc. Easily done.
That's fine. The company you worked for was apparently not legally required to store those documents for a certain period of time.

My viewpoint is not at all IT related. I work in a heavily regulated industry and am required to do training a few times a year on data retention policies because of how much we are legally required to keep.
It doesn't matter what they do. That's the great thing about bitcoin. No-one is forcing you to use it. If you don't think it suits your requirements, don't use it.
When I was taking algorithm courses in my university, my lecturer used SPOJ [0] and Uva online judge [1] as part of coding exercises. For example, today, I learn about greedy algorithm, my lecturer find a problem on those website about greedy algorithm problems. Someone already mentioned CodeForces. It likes SPOJ and Uva. But, CodeForces usually has a coding competition regularly.

The websites above will affect you on how to solve a problem quickly because it's timed. It helps for job interview. If you want to learn about software engineering, e.g. architecture or what's going on in real industry, it's different in my opinion. You should know well the problem, use cases and of course, the contexts. To be honest, I agree with @cag_li. Involve in open source projects or build a real project!

This might be an unpopular opinion here. It seems a general sentiment here in HN is that building more houses will result in a lower home price.

I'm not so sure if that's always going to be the case. Increased supply could very well turn San Francisco into cities like Hong Kong or New York - More houses but just as expensive.

If you think the current San Francisco as a small bucket full of water, will increase the size of the bucket stop the water from being full? well, that will depend on out how much water out there that wants to flow in right? If there are more water wants to come in than the size increase, you will just end up with a bigger bucket full of water.
But! The underbelly of the car would be a solar panel =p Crank the radio up to 11! (Which is funny because Tesla’s volume actually goes to 11)

So actually, they'd for sure have to disable the heater on the battery, and I dunno, can the battery operate enough power to power the stereo when it's negative crazy low temp in space?

And this is the real long lasting problem with Apple’s shoddy software quality of late. Nobody I know updates their software anymore because they don’t trust that the update won’t ruin something. I personally have always updated my software religiously but even I won’t do that on my iPhone anymore. And now the only option they have to close security vulnerabilities is to force updates...and when you force it, brand loyalty is gonna take a hit.
It's not just about ideas. Coming up with ideas is easy. Turning an idea into a viable product involves a lot of work.
you do realize that different demographics pay different prices, right? Buy food at whole foods v. k-mart. Buy spices in this department or that ethnic department. Buy gasoline in Marin, California, or Topeka, KS.
What I find more amazing is the fact that a lot of what could be referred to as "space-age technology" is actually many decades old, and thus was accomplished with a fraction of the processing power and knowledge we have today. Voyager was launched in the late 70s, but based on technology of the 50s and 60s. We visited the Moon almost 50 years ago, using that technology.

If you look at old spacecraft hardware, one thing that stands out is its apparent simplicity and down-to-earth (no pun intended) design --- and I'd argue that this is at least partially responsible for its extreme reliability.

From that perspective, I feel as though developments in modern technology just can't compete for impact; we constantly search for new ways of designing things, wrapping ourselves in endless layers of abstraction and high-level thought, yet aren't really "getting off the ground" and accomplishing something concrete, so to speak.
