One of the big problems with US police, I think, is that police have to carry a firearm because anyone they run into can carry a firearm. In countries where firearms are regulated to the point where both legal and illegal firearm possession is rare, police can just carry batons and not expect to find themselves facing a gun.

That's a decision you need to answer for yourself. Netflix right now is their original content, their semi-origional content, lead generation for other streaming services, and titles you might reasonably find 50 copies of in the bargain bin of your local Best Buy.

Purdue misled doctors on the effectiveness of the recommended dosages in a way that essentially maximized the addictiveness of their drug in a clinical setting, globally. Instead of telling doctors to prescribe a more frequent dose, they told them to prescribe a larger dose less often which causes more severe withdrawals and has a higher chance of leading to physiological dependence.

Doctors the world over were legitimately unaware of the risks because the manufacturer misled them.
After this bubble inevitably collapses, the dumb money will largely exit and people will be forced to deal with smart money. Moreover, regulatory agencies won't tolerate this level of fraud long term. Either ICOs need some sort of regulator or they will be banned.
Agree,. What worries me is this talk of doing something against Google will make it so I can not search as easily as I can today.

I do think someone can easily use Bing if they want and it is even easier to type. But I chose to use Google because when I have compared Google is just a lot better. Why should Google be penalized for that?

If people want to use something else then use something else and leave me alone and my choice.
They certainly helped to improve the situation of many but I am not sure that they managed to affect a billion people. And you can certainly do a lot of good with a couple of billion dollar but you can not make really many rich. And that was my main point, the wealth of the very top is not what makes the poor poor just due to an uneven wealth distribution.

Luckily, we here at Trend Co. (YC Winter 2016) openly discriminate against seniors to such an extent that we employ none at all, so our trendy open office plan won't be nearly as big of a health hazard as it would normally be.

How so? Do you mean through UIImagePickerController or AVCaptureDevice?

Even with the latest iOS 11 release I haven't seen AVCaptureDevice available to WebKit anywhere. getusermedia isn't supported and I've yet to see a successful implementation of WebRTC on WebKit [1].

Maybe I missed something. Would be great to be able to do that finally.

The world is more complex than that. Many (probably every) large organization/industry does both good and bad things.

Insurance, ultimately, is a way of sharing risk. Even more abstractly, it is about aligning interests. I think this is one part of why people get so upset with insurance when there is dispute - it feels a little like a betrayal.
TSMC also gets some benefits from being neutral; they don't compete with any of their customers. Bitmain has never been neutral.
I think it just wasn't sunk in very well - the kids were both fluent at their level (a 3/5 year old isn't ultra-proficient in any language, but it was their primary form of communication), but they just very quickly dropped it because it wasn't useful anymore.

Not sure what level you're at - the hand writing is hard, takes Chinese people years and years of repetition and constant exposure. I always thought learning reading/typing Chinese is an essential part of learning Chinese, but hand-writing it is an optional (or something you can allow to progress much much slower). I read and write at an HSK6 level, but I doubt I could hand-write more than 1000 characters from memory. Meh.

I was just about to ask that question: what is the basis for the prohibition on selling shares? How are those prohibitions enforced? If the basis is contract law, then you can't necessarily prevent people from undertaking the prohibited action, can you? Just collect damages if they do.

If an employee sells their shares in violation of a company contract, what happens? Can the company repossess the shares? Or are the shares structured so that they can be made worthless?

Can employees construct a security based on their shares and then sell that instead? Nominally the employee retains the shares, and sells a contract based on them to someone else - an asset-backed security. The contract is an option that allows the contract-owner to request the shares-owner sell their shares in the event of liquidity, and the contract owner will receive the gains. Alternatively, the share-owner simply holds onto the shares until they are transferrable (eg IPO). In exchange for this the shares-owner is paid an up front fee.

Presumably this kind of arrangement could also be prohibited in some way by the company, but if someone is willing to violate that agreement, it would be difficult to discover that the agreement exists.
That's highly inaccurate. Opioids are the most prescribed drug in the US. The vast majority never become addicted.

And if you have an issue with the 12 hour dosing of Oxycontin, take it up with the FDA. They approved it.

> JavaScript appears to not be a possible attack vector. So now we're just worried about already had access to run a native binary.

All the major browsers have pushed patches, to close this, because it was a gaping hole. You're only not worried, because they've already fixed it. (Well, when I say major browsers, I haven't seen or heard anything from Microsoft's Chakra engine.)

Take note that it involved killing off SharedArrayBuffer in JS, at least for now.

> but obviously if a rogue binary had to sit running for days with only a part success rate

That's misreading the situation.

A tight loop is required, yes, with partial failure, but it is not so low as taking days. The original implementation [0], read at around 10KB/s. Whilst that isn't fast if you're somehow trying to read gigabytes of data into cache, and then attack it, it's more than enough to read passwords out of data.

> So now we're just worried about already had access to run a native binary.

Now we're worried about any unpatched JavaScript engine, like perhaps Chakra, which would make all Edge users vulnerable.

You also don't need access to an executable binary. You could also target any DLL that gets dynamically linked on Windows. In fact, the example Windows implementation hooks into ntdll.dll, which has a known location on all versions of Windows, which allows it to bypass ASLR.

I had surgery in 2011 and was prescribed OxyContin for post-operative pain.

I was very satisfied with the therapy as I had very little post-operative discomfort.

I took the medicine for several days, the prescription ran out, and I felt no incentive to request a refill nor did I turn to street drugs.

I am truly sorry for people that struggle with addiction. I have family members who struggle with that and I know the devastation that it causes.

However, I do not want the government to eliminate an effective class of medications, either through banning them or through scaring doctors into not using them.
True. That sounds like a fine excuse for the accidental cases. When you are deliberately making an attempt to deceive the system, that is where it crosses the line.

I wish it were culturally acceptable to let send people home or for people to stay home when they are sick in the US.

If you are presenting your items to the system normally and they fail to register it, yes. If you are hiding the item in your jacket or cart to deliberately avoid the cashier's attention, that is shoplifting.
Clothing manufacturing is labour-intensive, relatively low tech, and just hops countries when labour gets more expensive in one place. Solar panels manufacturing has none of those properties. The general reckoning is that the Chinese government is subsidising local manufacturers, once the competitors close down and stop the expertise required to set up manufacturing elsewhere will decay and be lost and they'll have everyone over a barrel, and competing on cost of labour is irrelevant since it's such a small component of the cost.
Assuming crypto survives (I personally hope it doesn't), escrow will happen - after the bubble collapses and the dumb money exits the market.

I suspect what works similarly is law enforcement charity license plates. Here in Illinois, about six of these are related to police charitable organizations or foundations: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/vehicles/licen... (See the CP, PO, IP, HF, SO, and LE plates.)

While they may list being active or retired police, or a family member, for eligibility, they also clearly state that any individual or corporate donor can qualify, and that all people who qualify for the plate must be donors. So in reality, being law enforcement or family is irrelevant: You must be a donor to get the plate, and that's all that matters.

Willing to bet you won't get pulled over for minor infractions with any of those plates on your car.
A large percentage of the units shipped in January had clearly been in use for a while prior to shipping.

Stop this insane vilification of opioids.

This is turning into another moral panic; yet another iteration of the never ending war on drugs. We keep doing this: from prohibition of alcohol to banning pot and psychedelics. It doesn't work.

Opioids are incredibly useful. Vilifying people for providing a pain-relieving medication because they are sometimes misused is disgraceful.
GF2 is definitely building modules from cells. The big question is how long they were planning to import cells from Panasonic's Japanese facilities. Being unable to (affordably) import cells from Chinese factories was one of the problems that killed SolarCity's earlier plan to scale the Silevo technology they acquired, and drove them to Panasonic's cell tech instead.

EDIT: I was initially wondering whether Tesla planned to make cells in the US for GF2 at all, or just import them from Japan, but according to this report from last March they already planned to produce cells in the US:

The most frustrating thing about this is that these aren't even official government cards (they're issued by the union instead), so it's harder to crack down on them through your elected officials.

Even if you banned cards (and I'm not sure you could), unions might just shift to making "Police Benevolent Association Family Member" license plate frames - or any other token. I think the most efficient way to solve this might be to have the law fall more lightly on everyone - reducing the benefits to connected citizens relative to the their less fortunate neighbors.

I'm actually building my latest project this way. Not using this project though.

I actually really enjoy it. I have all of my go test stuff running in subpackages, and a fairly thin main package that hooks my models up to vue.js and builds some frappe charts. I very much enjoy taking the workflow I use to build efficient services and using it to build my simple frontends.

two-way data binding on a go struct is actually kind of magical and not something you could really go without javascript since (I assume) it relies on Object.observe and go doesn't really have properties. Goroutines and channels in javascript are also really magical.
They're currently building panels from imported cells, but the goal is to make everything in-house.
"A Christmas gift of institutionalized corruption."

Perfectly stated. That's precisely what these cards are - a physical token of nepotism and what I refer to as the "blue wall of bullshit". I had a very close friend offer me one of those Gold cards for family members once (his Uncle gave him one and his family is small and thus had extras). I told him to keep it because even if I could use it to get out of a ticket, I'd rather take the fine and keep my morality in tact. Plus, given my belief on these cards, I doubt I could even muster the gall to present one. I mean, honestly, how arrogant does a human being have to be to present that card when stopped by an officer, expecting that the officer is going to basically be like "Aw shucks, guess my hands are tied. Please try not to do that again."

This a fruit-to-oranges comparison. You can't compare "Software" to "Guns" they're not that same level. You could maybe compare software to metallurgy.

"monoglot" might be a more accurate term, but "isomorphic" seems to have the mind share.

Chinese solar panels are already artificially more competitive because of the Chinese government's policies, this is just evening the playing field.

All contracts have consideration. If the consideration for the agreement that all my assets are Apple's is $1 billion USD, then sure I would happily comply, rather than risk voiding my contract.

More seriously: people should comply with the agreements that they sign. Don't sign an agreement that says all of your assets are actually Apple's if you're not happy with it. Read all of the fine print and don't be surprised later.

Don't buy stock in a privacy company if you're not happy with the constraints on it. One of the common key differences between private and public companies is that you can't sell or transfer stock in private companies without their approval. You know that when buying it initially, or when agreeing to receive it as compensation.

There are legitimate reasons why private companies don't want their stock to be transferred willy-nilly. For one, it makes the cap table larger and more complex, which complicates further funding or purchase agreements. Two, if the cap table grows too large, then the company may become subject to onerous SEC regulations that are more appropriate for public companies (but without receiving the corresponding benefits). Three, since shareholders are entitled to certain information about the company, private companies limit ownership so that they're not obligated to share this information with people they do not trust. There are probably more reasons.
