Sorry to clarify, the poor assumption is that the fact that the people going to college being generally wealthier means that the people going to graduate school are generally wealthier. A uniform randomness would be required to determine which students choose to continue advancing which is not the case as those choosing to pursue a graduate degree are being influenced by other factors - how fast they need to begin acquiring income, how lucrative they think immediate employment may be, interests...

I don't think offline storage is necessary as long as you're certain your system is clean, which a clean linux install helps.

Thank you for this awesome feedback! I didn't take any special steps. I just made a show HN thread and frankly I didn't expect to be that successful since most successful threads I saw were SaaS or other technical projects. I am truly indebted to HN and the community for featuring the thread. I also submitted it on ProductHunt but it failed miserably :D

Thanks again and good luck with your project.
Only think I can think of is that it is hard to trace, which is important if you are trying to get cash out of China or Russia (or probably other places).

Technically this use is still likely to be illegal.
From a statistical pov increased emissions translate directly to an increase in preventable deaths from outdoor pollution.

How much liability should companies and their executives shoulder when their decisions lead to the statistical increase of hundreds or thousands of premature deaths?

It really depends what you mean by "linking" and what you mean by "taints".

Linking GPL code to incompatible code is against the license terms and since you can't copy/distribute the code without a license you violate copyright if you distribute that code. Nobody, not even the FSF, believes that this means that your code must be under the GPL at that point -- it's just the remedy that the GPL explicitly allows. Other remedies are usually possible from the copyright holder (usually just "stop infringing our copyright"), or imposed by a court.

IANAL, but the act of a user linking GPL code to incompatible code without distribution is not copyright infringement IFAICT. I believe the FSF also agrees with that. In fact the GPL specifically states that you may run the code for any purpose. This leaves a kind of grey area where you could write code that can link to GPL code, but that you leave the end user to do the final linking. In the extreme these are the so-called "binary blobs" in things like the Linux kernel. My understanding is that the FSF thinks that these are an infringement but that other people disagree. I don't think it's ever been tested in court.

Edit: I should point out that the reasoning for it being an infringement is that by intentionally writing code that can link to the GPL code, you are creating a derived work of the GPL code. Whether this argument holds water is anybody's guess and I would love to see it tested in court.
That part seems appropriate. Executives should be more accountable than employees.
I was thinking it was interesting the engineer received jail time. I've not researched at all, but I could see someone performing a job and having management tell them that it's all good with some over-their-head legal explanation, even though it does not seem like it to the engineer.

It's neat to see jail time trickle down though, seems like a better deterrent than a financial cost. It seems to me that it would be easier to believe the financial cost would not hit you, that you could get out of it or not have the cash. Where a jail time potential would make me think twice about anything potentially shady.

I have a degree in mathematics, I'm fine on the statistics front. It's very likely to NOT be a random sample - you would only be testing the packages which have had effort put in to make them reproducible, for reproducibility. I would expect the non-sampled packages to be 0% reproducible, since the reason they were not tested is that nobody is trying to make them reproducible (yet).
My view is that if the individual mandate is eliminated then other insurers will come into the market with cheaper plans that don't include everything (Eg mental health) so health costs for healthy self-employed folks will go down. The thing I've always hated about Obamacare was how healthy self employed folks are subsiding the unhealthy people, this happens because most people in their 20's or 30s are covered by work plans which have a better risk pool.
I don't think most reputable proponents have been saying that for years though.

In case you haven't been following the news, the recent tax bill was passed under a rule that limited the impact it was allowed to have on the deficit. Therefore, in order to make tax cuts for the rich not cost too much for the bill, they've included changes that remove funding from services or that raise taxes from the not rich. It doesn't matter whether the government as an abstract operates on a balanced budget or not, this particular bill is a (roughly) zero sum one. If you didn't know that, you should really do some more background reading.

This is at least as bad as any violent crime. Almost certainly far, far worse by any ethical metric. The only difference between this and normal violent crime is that this is the kind of horrifying malicious crime rich, powerful people commit while assault or mugging is the crime of choice for the poor and powerless. Compare this vs. a mugging. Intent was worse -- he intended to assault millions instead of just one and also profited off thousands of frauds as well as obstruction of justice (code to hide it from regulators). Consequences and damages were far worse than any violent crime, obviously.

But yes, sentences should be far shorter across the board.
>That's a terrible idea. You've now coupled your tests to someone else's code.

It's a terrible idea not to. If your code isn't coupled to someone else's code your code isn't doing anything useful.

Moreover, you should test against the code your code is coupled to as realistically as possible, which ideally means testing against the real thing.

Bitcoin has literally been presented as a replacement for cash payments since day 1. I could go on, and on. That history is now being rewritten, and I think it’s important to understand why. Bitcoin set out to do one thing, is failing at that one thing, and I’m discouraged to see people rewrite the narrative rather than own it and say it didn’t work for that.

And you've mixed up your history: the research grants into the Internet were funded for that purpose, but it quickly morphed into an alternative usage once the new abilities were seen. Nobody went out and pulled out full page newspaper ads with that intent for its design, or otherwise heralded the Internet as such.
A point to make:

The company asking to see your code has deep pockets. That means they have a whole lot to lose if they breach a contract and steal your intellectual property.

So, if you put together a well-crafted non-disclosure and non-compete contract their risk is high if they mess with you. It'll cost you something to get a solid contract, but it may be worth it if you also get the business.

The executive had the authority to start or stop what engineers do. The moment of decision vests with the exec. The engineer did wrong things, and I suspect would own that they broke the 'engineers code' which is pretty much the apocryphal 'try to do no harm' thing doctors don't actually sign to. The exec on the other hand, had the 'earn shareholder money' mantra stamped into their DNA like a stick of rock candy. The morality play around what executive grades think, and do regarding societal expectations is pretty well understood: thats why its the mainstream of ongoing current fiction. If you want to look to fiction for instances of people saying scientists or engineers have to make moral decisions, you're going to C.P. Snow "the search" (1959) or Neville Shute "No Highway" (1948) while I can look down any bookshelf and find 'wolf of wall street' staring me in the eyes..

I would like to see banks operate Bitcoin accounts.

The bank operates its own wallets, you transfer your Bitcoin to theirs (or just buy it from them.) Keeping the Bitcoin safe is their responsibility. If you want to spend the Bitcoin, you can transfer it back to your own wallet, or directly to the payee. You pay them some fee to do this.

Now, it has obvious downsides. Less privacy. Easier for the government to confiscate your Bitcoin. The bank could go bankrupt. But, a person might rationally reason that those possibilities are less likely than them stuffing up a wallet maintained by themselves. Especially if it was a major bank that they might reason is unlikely to go broke. Obviously the Bitcoin account would not be government insured so if the bank goes bankrupt you might lose it all.

If criminals break into your account and steal your Bitcoin – if it is due to a problem at your end, e.g. a key-logger on your machine, the bank shouldn't owe you anything. If it is because the bank screwed up, they should be liable to compensate you for the loss.

This is the part that I don't think follows. Why would they? There are a million different travel sites and people do their homework. There's nothing preventing people from using different booking sites for each trip. I see an advantage in having a large portfolio of hosts but I don't think they will ever be at the point of charging a premium because they have lock-in.
Largely agree. Part of the problem is the murkiness in which wealthy, private universities operate. We need much more transparency to justify institutions like Stanford to continue receiving a taxpayer subsidy of $63,000 per student compared to only $10,000 at UC-Berkeley and $4,000 at CSU-Fullerton [1]. Where is the federal grant money going and how is it divvied up? Maybe a graduate degree in dentistry provides a greater public good, even if there isn't a lot of ongoing research funding in that field. Here are some suggestions:

- A publicly searchable database, showing projects that derive as a result of public grants.

- Non-profit universities disclose administrative and faculty salaries like the UC and other states systems do, even if anonymized.

- Provide an explanation of why the size of their student bodies have stayed the same over the years while their endowments and operating income have ballooned, assuming their mission is to provide education as a public good [2].

Is this word play over "second layer" or something? The Lightning Network is an example of one that's decentralized and keeps users in control of their own funds.

Why? Do you not understand that diesel emissions kill people? The governments of the world have been working diligently to try to balance the demands of continuing to use diesel engines with the costs of them killing people. Subverting those regulations is little different from poisoning the water supply or releasing malaria infected mosquitos into a city. By some studies the VW emissions cheating alone will result in thousands of premature deaths just within Europe, let alone globally. These are very serious crimes, and it is right and proper that they receive punishments sufficient to discourage any other automakers from considering the same type of scam.

I was replacing someone on mat leave so I could only have the job for one year. I was teaching three regular classes of geometry, one honours geometry, and one IB Standard Level class which was a whirlwind mish-mash of topics.

The honours class was an absolute blast to teach. The kids were engaged, they were able to handle the toughest problems I could throw at them, they liked being there. Having the privilege to teach that class was worth the whole year.

The regular geometry classes were more challenging but still lots of fun to teach. It was more difficult there to get across to the kids. Many of them didn't want to be there. I still tried and came up with lots of different ways to explain things. Not all of my methods were successful.

The IB SL class was a mixed bag. These were dedicated students who worked hard but didn't really want to take a lot of mathematics, because they didn't want to take the Higher Level class. Some of them understood, some of them didn't. I was very sad to have one student who for whatever reason I just couldn't reach. She seemed dedicated, very polite, she wanted to succeed, but she failed nearly every exam. It was a little heartbreaking. I have no idea what I was doing wrong.

I was very young and green. I have had more informal teaching experience, mostly in the way of giving tech talks or explaining computer things to other computer people, but I always wish I could be explaining geometry again to kids, trying to nudge them to explore and learn in their own ways.

IoT seems to be overengineering for these use cases. Doors that automatically lock when closed, gas that automatically turns off after a certain time (mechanical timer), solves the problem without the need for adding always-on electronics. These features are standard in a large number of apartments in Korea.
1 why rpi? 2 why monocular? 3 seems like you'll never be able to do vio slam because there's nothing in the ocean to track with optical flow.
So it looks like its starting off as a clone of Wikipedia but with less features? They made it more modern looking (which is actually really quite nice) but they did so by removing stuff like citations, which is really important when anyone can edit the content (the ability to check the source for a given statement is really nice).

In fact, how do they know which sources to remove from the references when doing a large edit of a page? Does the editor have to go through all the references and figure out exactly which statements depended on which reference? Or is there just a "any reference is a good reference" policy and once added to an article they stay there forever?

Also the reference section allows people to vote on references? Why?

Also no random article button.

> They have a year to do so [...]

This actually is highly dependent on state laws. In Colorado for non-emergency the doctor/hospital has 6 months to file the bill with the insurance company. If they fail to do so, or file after that time period, the bill is null and void (it's an agreement they have with the insurance company).

If it is an emergency (such as you got taken to the ER) then they have a year to file with the insurance company.

I know this... because the insurance company denied a claim that was made by the hospital due to an emergency because it was filed outside the 6 month time window because the hospital failed to mark it as being billed due to an emergency.

I only found out about the debt though when I got served and there was a lawsuit against me because the hospital (even though they had a copy of my drivers license) had been sending it to an old address I hadn't lived at which they had on file somehow.

I got it all sorted, and the insurance company paid, along with a fine the state requires for failing to pay on time... however the lawsuit still dragged on for one more year.

The original company that had made the claim, had sold the debt to debt collection company. That debt collection company had never sent me a shred of proof, so their calls went straight to the round file, so the lawyers for the debt company were the people I was dealing with.

They wanted to get paid for the debt, so that they could then send it to the debt collector, who would then send it to the original creditor, or at least, that is what I understood. However my insurance company just sent it to the original creditor.

So now the original creditor had to notify the debt collection company who had to notify the lawyers office that the debt was paid.

That took over a year. Each time I'd get a continuance to show up in court 3 months later, because the debt was paid, so they weren't getting a cent from me. I'd gladly lay it out to the judge, but instead they kept filing a continuance. Eventually the court in Colorado denied their request for a continuance.

Now the best part is that the debt was for approximately $300 dollars. In combined costs of lawyers fees/court fees/debt collection time/all that fun stuff I am sure they spent WAY more money trying to collect. Didn't cost me a penny, other than my time.
