1 - In most european countries, you are not allowed to carry weapons.
2 - European countries are very small in population in comparison to US.
> The problem goes way beyond the US borders

Name one more western first world country besides the US, where cops shooting someone is hardly news. And no, the problem probably isn't guns.

In the US there's about 1 gun per resident, Germany 0.3, UK 0.06, and Canada 0.3. Meanwhile there were about 987 fatal shootings by cops in the US in 2016, compared to 13 in Germany, 4 in the UK, and 9 in Canada. Even adjusting these numbers for population and number of guns per resident, you will still be off by an order of magnitude.
You seem outraged, but is anything they said wrong?
It's more the fact that I'm surprised that this is only a minor inconvenience to a lot of people.

Show HN: CrowdWave gives your team its own free resume submission portal

Can you show me the data set that breaks down police killings by race of the killed person please?

Or can you even point me to the dataset that just lists all police killings?
It started moving from LGPLv2.1 to LGPLv3 in Qt 5.4 with new features, and is now the norm since Qt 5.7 (latest in 5.10):

Hi folks - I'm the author of CrowdWave. I'm a software developer who pays the bills by doing recruitment for other companies and building my software passion projects at the same time. I've been doing recruiting for 14 years and I've been doing software development for more than 30 years.

So a few years ago a question popped into my head:

"Why isn't the most actively connected industry on earth - recruiting - connected?"

And I don't mean via LinkedIn, which is really just a bunch of individual connections, and not a social network of any extraordinary purpose.

Consider this - the lifeblood of the entire recruiting industry everywhere is the resume. All day, every day resumes are being sent from individual job seekers to recruiters and companies, and from recruiting agencies to employers and HR departments. Why isn't THAT connected? There's a real business network there, long lived business relationships, and it's all still being done via email.

So I wondered what would happen if I gave free resume submission portals to ALL teams at ALL companies.

And I wondered what would happen if all those recruiting portals were connected into a social network that models the real world connections between employers and recruiters.

That's the idea behind CrowdWave - to provide a simple and clean way to accept resume submissions from direct applicants and recruiters, and to form a social network that models the real world relationships of employers and recruiting agencies.

So CrowdWave has one single purpose - handling of resume submissions, from direct applicants to companies & agencies, from agencies to employers, and from HR people to their hiring managers.

And given that there seem to be about 10 bazillion recruiting SAAS applications out there, it is important to say what CrowdWave is NOT - because CrowdWave is NOT yet another applicant tracking system.

What CrowdWave is NOT

It's NOT Yet Another Full Featured Recruiting Candidate Applicant Tracking System.

It's NOT for attracting and sourcing candidates

It's NOT for posting ads to job boards

It's NOT for onboarding new employees

It's NOT for building a careers website

It's NOT for scheduling and managing interviews

It's NOT for parsing resumes

It's NOT for timesheets

It's NOT for contractor management

The business model is that CrowdWave is free, but data is retained for only 90 days. Surely most companies complete applicant assessment within 90 days? Anyone wanting to save data long term can get a paid plan which is $30/month for each month of data stored.

So, my question to you: does your team need its own portal for accepting resume submissions?

If yes, then give CrowdWave a try!

It's brand spanking new and in beta right now so please give it a go let me know any problems or issues at andrewbstuart@gmail.com

thanks!

Although this is a topic that is easy to get angry about, I can't honestly trust anything that I read from theroot.com since I have seen many articles that are just racially charged and completely biased. Just a few days ago, they posted something about the ousting of London Breed here in SF (https://www.theroot.com/london-breed-had-a-clean-shot-at-bec...). The problem with that article, is that it blames the ousting purely on racial issues. I feel neutral against London Breed, but I have several SF teacher friends that straight out don't like her. Why? Not because of the color of her skin, but because of some policies that she was supporting. Long story short, the teachers union had a deal with the city to finally get a super crappy raise amount. Something was better than nothing (I still think they are completely underpaid), but to add insult to injury, the raise was dependent on a new property tax to be passed. Since the new property tax is not popular for various valid reasons, London Breed had the bright idea to tell the teachers that "if they wanted the raise", they "had better go out and campaign". This ended up being completely unpopular with the teachers. Stuff like this is IMHO why she lost support. Of course, it is easier to tell a story that she got ousted because she is a woman of color that got knocked out by the rich white man... zero mention of any of these issues. That to me is theroot.com, so I can't take it seriously. Just another Fox News.

Sounds like Bezos might disagree.

The problem with US healthcare isn't profit seeking, it's that years of regulatory technical debt starting with the employer tax deduction totally broke the market and the incentives to control costs are shattered like most things our interests-captive government pays for anymore.

I for one am cheering on the capitalists trying to come and do an end run around this political mess. There's no reason healthcare can't be like buying anything else in a competitive market other than the legal complexity dealing with it and daunting capital required to over come that.

Ask HN: How does the perfect office space look like?
Our company will move into a new office space soon, and we're looking into building the "best" office space possible. We have basically two kind of personell: Sales & Operation Engineers (very interactive teams and lots of calls) and Software/System Engineers & Management (somewhat talkative, but rarely on the phone). It would be nice if you could share stories about places that blew you away (good and bad), learn from your experiences (good and bad) and get references to (scientific) research material you can recommend on the topic.
Can you tell me some details on what exactly they do? I've designed and ordered my own PCBs from DirtyPCBs (recommended, I love them) but I've only assembled them myself (I only needed one or two pieces) and I have no idea how I would scale that to larger production.

Can you tell me what the basic steps are? Pricing information would be appreciated!
It would definitely making interop between C# and C++ much easier. It would make interop between C++ and any language much easier. The only way to do it today is to extern "C" everything. It's ugly.

I should point out again that I'm Europe (France) based, so this might be different than the US. Note that when I say swipe the card, I mean putting the card and typing your 4 digit pin.

> Regarding presenting your “real card,” doesn’t using PayPal cause the same problem?

No because when a marchant offer paypal, they know it, and they know you paid that way in advance.

There is a very big difference between "you paid with a system that doesn't have a physical card, you knew it, we knew it, and we specifically allowed you to do it", and "you used CC payment but you don't have the corresponding physical card, we didn't know or approve this, and your explanation is that you use some sort of service online that hides the real card".

Considering this is done to prevent fraud prevention, I'm sure you can see why this is very different.

> Also, are you sure you even need to check in with the same card you paid with? Usually those systems that ask you to “swipe your payment method” are only reading your name from the card, and combining it with a confirmation number to look up your reservation.

Hotels, airlines and others are using it as a fraud prevention and they explicitely require the card, of a proper copy of it to be present. They often explicitely state it on the checkout page, and on the printed receipt. The one time I had to go around this, Emirates phone support asked me to have a printed copy of the card AND a printed copy of the national id card of the card owner at check-in.

With that said, they didn't actually check any of it, and this was before 3D secure (Emirates current official policy is that you don't need those documents if paid with 3d secure). But still, I would rather be safe than being blocked at the airport.
And once again, if I need that kind of security I'll seek it out. Telegram is more secure than email and SMS, and more convenient for my use case.
PayPal fees are 2.9% plus $.30 which is industry standard for accepting a credit card, exactly the same as Stripe.

eBay takes 10% of the sale price, which is what is too high. You have to pay eBay fees on shipping now too because for years people would list their products as "$.50 with $30 shipping" to skirt eBay fees.

To really understand how it got this way, you have to understand the history of eBay. eBay started out as basically, similar to Craigslist, you'd post auction items and once the auction was won, everything was done off eBay. You'd email (actual email!) your shipping address and inquiries. Payment was arranged privately between buyer and seller, usually done in physical money orders or personal checks sent through snail mail. You could do wire transfer, I guess, but I always paid with money orders. Sometimes for items under $10 I'd even send cash.

PayPal came along and filled that niche of people who wanted to pay by card and accept credit card. PayPal was just another method of payment that sellers could choose to accept.

Eventually eBay became a "platform," more like a store, where you'd handle all payments/customer service through eBay. eBay then bought PayPal and made PayPal the only accepted method of payment.

Recently PayPal was spun off again as it's own company.
> Adobe Premier - This thing is a BEAST but it is the defacto standard.

I must admit, I've not really heard of Adobe being used in professional editing contexts. With a little research I've found some articles suggesting the BBC was standardising on Adobe Premiere[1]. Article is from 2010, but I can't confirm that happened though. I left that organisation in 2011 and at that time, I was managing a number of Mac based editing suites with Final Cut Pro (FCP).

I then ran a post-production company in London. We had suites full of Avid Media Composer and one solitary FCP, because some people refused to use anything else. (Also had a Baselight grading suite and Avid ProTools in the audio suites). We never considered Adobe Premiere and I can't, off the top of my head, recall any other post- house using it either.

I agree Lateral Joins are amazing, Ive started using them instead of CTEs a lot recently. Set returning functions are automatically lateral joined and make the logic much easier to follow than sub queries. Performance is great because Postgres happily inlines most SQL functions - unlike my experience with SQL Server (several years ago may have changed) where UDFs where munch slower than sub queries.

I run two HP Z32x 4K monitors off an nvidia 1060. Text is easy to see. Lots of pixels. Very little alt-tab. Lots of productivity. So my environment isn't really about retina and HiDPI,

On the other hand, take a look at your developer's postures: are they leaning/squinting into the screen? Are they using 1:1 pixels, or scaling?

What does the retina get you when one is a developer?

Coming back to what I said, I have large monitors so that I can make use of and see the pixels. Any thing smaller would probably be a waste of 4K unless I had really good eye-sight.

I was thinking about this after I posted my comment. I think it's not that they, as you say, "create amazing things that don't work"; it's that what they create "works" good enough for them. They solve a problem and it works for them; but, they don't think about how others will use it and whether it works for them. In the recent LibreOffice thread, the Microsoft ribbon menu is mentioned -- I thought the old menu was fine; but, their user testing found people liked the ribbon.

I think the usual assumption is that both files have the same codec. In that case you can sometimes actually append the streams, or, with things like cuts, only re-encode a few frames until things line up again.
More like "Are you sure? I'm worried that <opposite of thing interlocutor just said>." or "Sorry, I think it's actually <opposite>". Both in an apologetic tone. The word "respectfully" sounds like it's trying too hard: it's a bit overtly subordinate and ingratiating.

Because the states response to inmates resistance is linear or exponential- never logarithmic. There is no scenario in the law for non-rational stubborn people who would rage against the machine regardless of outcome.

Not the OP, but I would say that is implying that _all_ cops could do this. I don't think that is the case. As with anything, you have a small group that thinks it is above the law and acts that way.
There's an app called Machete that can do this, but it has obvious constraints - can only cut/paste at keyframe boundaries, video/audio streams must be compatible. In practice it's useful for editing one source video, but not for combining separate vids from different sources.

Interesting. Those numbers are not that different from Prague (my city). I expected much higher salaries in Sweden.
I disagree, from experience. I live in an urban environment in the UK with extensive public transport and haven't had a car for the last 5 years.

I have friends and family who live in the 'burbs. There are plenty of times I take a taxi over public transport, including:

1. I'm in a rush
2. I need to transport something not small
3. I'm feeling lazy

Note, that all public transport suffers from some fundamental problems (at the moment[1]). I live in the south of the city. For anywhere I want to travel to in the north I have to walk 10 minutes to get to the bus stop. In certain hours buses get out of sync with their timetables, so you can add another 10/15 minutes of waiting.

Also a lot of public transport has moved to the "hub" model, where you have a central hub which connects different routes. While perhaps more efficient in some ways, it's incredibly inefficient for the traveller. It adds a minimum of 20 minutes to any journey where you have to go through a hub. My sister used to joke it takes an hour and 20 minutes to visit a friend living on a different tube line in London. My home town is either 3 lines switches away, adding an hour and a half of waiting to a journey, or I go through the London Hub, inexplicably having to pay a premium.

So while I like and appreciate our public transport, it can be a huge timesink and when you don't want to pay the "time tax" of public transport, taxis fill the role.

[1]I say at the moment as we can imagine a point in the future where you request public transport with your phone and it can on-the-fly accommodate you.

That is true but what usually then would happen is successful businesses are then spun out and they do their own IPO.

Alphabet would retain controlling interesting. This is pretty common but not the only way. Sometimes parent company shareholders are given shares in the new company directly. So say every share of GOOG might be given a share of Waymo Inc for example. It is not always the case that the parent company keeps control.

It can also happen the other way where a sub is public and the parent does an IPO.

The structure of Alphabet is what gives the flexibility to do this.
You’re confusing taxi driver’s permit (which requires exams, not courses) with a taxi licence/permit. Uber drivers didn’t have either and the latter is where the law is very strict. Licenced taxis pay much higher insurance and the cars have to be inspected more often, meaning the costs of a legitimate taxi business are much higher than unlicensed Uber drivers.
Does anyone have a strong recommendation for a in-depth book on GPU architecture?

The most I can find is Nvidia white papers, a few posts on ARM blog about Mali GPU architecture (without a lot of proprietary internals) and chapter 38 in Computer Graphics P&P, 3rd edition that talks about GPU architecture.

In lieu of book, any course that does the same would also be useful.
