This is really similar to what Amazon uses in-house to manage aws roles. Not sure if there’s a commercial or open-source alternative but this could be a fruitful project for someone!
Right, who could forget the epoch-making work of Traf-O-Data.
The article answers this question:

> “We made it—we made it specifically for this [drug trafficking] too,” Ramos told undercover agents, according to a transcript included in the complaint.

You can't say that you intended to make the device for legal uses if you explicitly tell an undercover cop you intended it to be used for illegal purposes. So to answer your question, if you openly confess that the intent of your device is to be used illegally, that's a smoking gun.
I’m pretty particular but the main ones I like are the Uniball Signo 207, either the .5 or .7 tip but now I’ve moved to the Uniball Jetstream, just feels smoother. Then I just buy the refills which are pretty cheap and less wasteful.
Failing miserably is only miserably if you didn't learn anything. It's hard, but you can take as many tries as you want.

Good luck.

I don’t think you should feel bad about it. The New York Times should be held to a high standard.
Street dealers, "low level" or not, do actually kill their clients.

Prison sentences for dealing hard drugs should be in line with prison sentences for murder, otherwise the implication is that the lives of drug users are much less valuable than the lives of regular people.
The longer he’s in prison, he’ll be closer to full retirement age, meaning he’ll collect a higher social security benefit (62 is the bare minimum, waiting until 70 gives you the highest monthly amount).

He’s essentially already retired now.
Have you ever been on upwork?
I'm the same. I used to almost exclusively write with a fountain pen. Now I write everything with a keyboard. Primarily, because I realised that notebooks full of words are hard to search and fragile in a archival preservation sense. Far better to type everything, and print it all on archival paper with pigment inks (no laser printers!).

Sort of a bit sad though, to not play with pens and bottles and syringes etc. any more.
I doubt all devices are constantly reporting their capabilities to the NSA so they can look for outliers.
Addiction is not voluntary.
“Their reasons for remaining gun-free revolved around some loosely held concept of honor,” Beck says. “Being able to move your finger on a trigger is not really a skill that wows anyone.”

I find this mindset is reflected in a lot of manga produced in Japan. Heroes are often paired with swords: Rurouni Kenshin, Inu Yasha, and Bleach to name a few.
You can make high quality 3d animated movies in your basement but if you're alone and have no assets at all it will take a very long time.

Free software we've used to make short films include: Blender (3d modeling), DaVinci Resolve (editing), DaVinci Fusion (effects), Google Docs (writing), Audacity (audio effects / cleanup), Gimp (still editing)

There are people that create short films in 48 hours on their own, with smartphone cameras and can achieve pretty good results. If you're interested in that you can look at http://48hourfilm.com/
Manslaughter is different from murder.. selling someone something that they use to kill themselves, is different from selling something stronger than they anticipated, is also different from pulling the trigger yourself. Intent matters in the eye of the law.
Nothing is worse than websites and apps deciding to invent notifications either on a regular basis, or because I haven't visited recently.

Twitter and LinkedIn are especially guilty. A "notification" about friends of friends of followers having liked something trivial.
and so do doctors prescribing unnessisary opiates.
So in Japan you are the cool kid when you come with a knife to a gun fight ;-)

I like that attitude.
I would continue to program and stop worrying about the sprints, timelines and company goals.
I figure they could probably build a reactor that produces power - the MIT design looks like it would work if built. Making it profitable without government subsidy is a whole different thing though which I doubt will happen in 15 years.

There are a lot of problems to deal with eg see "Fusion reactors: Not what they’re cracked up to be" https://thebulletin.org/fusion-reactors-not-what-they%E2%80%... There's also a Reddit discussion of that saying the problems aren't quite so bad https://www.reddit.com/r/fusion/comments/67rqqg/fusion_react...

If I were a politician I'd vote for subsidising the thing by say buying the electricity at 30c/kWh to advance human understanding, so I think it could be built. I think MIT estimated $5bn + to build a 200MW generator which is not a huge amount in government terms.
Thanks for posting, ingve (and 0x12). 0x12's HN thread [1] about my project included the following TLDR:

"Guy expands 6502 to 16M address space by intercepting the databus and re-mapping unused opcodes and clever use of the spurious signals generated by the cpu when executing other undefined opcodes, adds a few registers to make the whole thing transparent from an assembler programmers point of view. In other words, there is no difference to the programmer between native and newly minted instructions.

On top of that he boosts the speed of his forth interpreter by concentrating on a frequently used construct called 'NEXT' in a way that should make anybody that has tried to optimize the inner loop of some VM or language proud. After all, what better way to optimize in such a situation than to be able to mold the instruction set to your desire.

He then uses this home-brew Frankenstein contraption as his benchtop computer for multiple years to do real work (instead of just shooting some pretty pictures and calling it a day)."

Same here, I haven't had a problem with any modern pens. I have Jinhaos, WingSungs, and a few Pilot Kakünos and Metropolitans.

I'm 2 years in and I think I'd just designate a pen to be dedicated to the known Noodler's "problematic" colors(BSB and Mass 54th). I just cleaned out 4 pens, some of which had dried ink in them, all of them were fine.

I'm partial to Noodler's Heart of Darkness and X-Feather.

One of the largest drivers that took me away from engineering (my bachelor) and into IT was the quality of online discussion and strong communities. I love how easy it is to stay up to date with the current trends and technologies, and the level of support from others who have solved the challenges that you currently face.

Yeah, no. The network is my property and the contract our employees or partners sign establishes terms for using the network.

You cannot get out of the network unless the traffic is proxied. There are a few exceptions for identify based reverse proxies that companies like Google talk about. But most places aren't there yet for sensitive applications outside of collaboration.

There's also the matter of trust. Some business partners are explicitly trusted, either by a private CA signed certificate or by a specific third party key that is independently validated.

Public networks are completely different. I am not talking about an ISP here.
That problem is a big part of why the EU is bringing in the GDPR. The potential fines for infringement will be much more severe once those rules come into effect in a couple of months.

This could easily be a mental fallacy. Some days, you'll be doing great so going to the gym is easier, but so is everything else. Certainly exercise has benefits, so it could be that, or good nutrition or sleep the day before, or some combination, etc.

It's good that you've found something that works for you, but sadly it won't necessarily generalise. And the danger of this is thinking that people who don't do this are lazy.

To anybody struggling with this, the thread "Ask HN: Is it 'normal' to struggle so hard with work?" [0] is full of frank and good advice.

“I Will Solve Your Problem, and You Will Pay Me” – [Ep #113] Make Money Online
I was part of a worker owned company as a contractor. I believe it started with a lack of funds to pay employees so they had to trade pay for debt. In the end the Indian division bought out the parent company and closed down the north american offices.
This conclusion is based on remembered anecdote from 35 years ago...bit shaky to make firm statements based on that.

Edit: Unless I'm missing something basic here? I don't see any reference or link to the "study on juvenile crime" the article title references.
Call it cheating if you want. I as a user still strongly prefer a "cheating" site that loads instantly over a "non-cheating" one that I have to wait 5 seconds to load.
F&#k recognition. That whole thing is just a brainhack scam by management types to avoid paying people for the monetary value they produce.

People generally crave social validation, but very few will pay for it. Yet, that is exactly what that proposal entails: reduced salary in exchange for (forced/insincere) validation and recognition by management. The only difference is that the latter is the passive choice.
eh? 100 HKD is about 13 USD, so you won't save anything.

100k HKD is 13k USD. As the max salary tax is about 16%, you'll have about 84k HKD/month net (minus minor contributions to the mandatory retirement fund). Your savings then depend largely on two things:

1. your accommodation. Housing is very expensive in HK. You can live frugally on about 10k HKD a month in a tiny flat, or you can spend 60k HKD a month on a 4-bedroom flat in the midlevels (forget about a house).

2. lifestyle/food. One can live and eat very cheaply in HK (25 HKD BigMac meal, and even cheaper noodles), or rather expensively (and add a 10k HKD vodka bottle in the club).

Given that the median household (!) income is 20-25k HKD/month, and, say, 60k HKD/month is considered a good income, and a live-in maid earns about 5k HKD/month, you should be able to put aside 20k to 50k HKD a month, depending on your lifestyle (or 30k to 75k USD a year).
It isn't notifications, but.. Google has now updated Chrome on Android to constantly spam news stories at you every time you open a tab ("Stories for you"). You can't turn it off through any UI accessible to normal users.
Ballpoint pens tend to have muchly less consistent lines. You could get much better looking lines just with a rollerball though. I do write mostly with fountain pens but love a week priced Uniball Vision. The lines are as consistent as with a fountain pen without any of the maintenance issues. However, it feels less nice and you don't get to use nice inks.
I went through a fountain pen phase for about a year and finally gave up on it after a few notable incidents.

- going through the airport was hit or miss. Bristol? Stuttgart? things are perfect. interstate travel in the US? id lost two pens to the TSA. My flight to calgary started perfectly, and ended after a half full fountain pen quietly burst in my jacket pocket. not fun.

- No one seems to know what these things are anymore? signing formal documents was met with additional scrutiny from realtors and attorneys. Id had an attorney once insist I use his pen as he was convinced the liquid in the pen was not real ink.
And yet (as I hear) the Samurai they emulate considered their bows to be their primary weapon, and their spears their secondary weapon, and considered it a disgrace to ever need to draw their sword.

They also used guns when they became available. They were soldiers and mercenaries, after all.
Because they work by capillary action, if you have the pen uncapped for too long, the trail of ink on the nib can dry enough that it gives you a hard start.

Recapping and uncapping can be distracting to others.
There are some pens that have a click action like a regular pen but they are SPENDY.

Some of the paper quality issues can be mitigated by the ink choice and/or nib size.

“A gun in Japan would earn the wielder scorn,” Beck says, “not respect.”

Right from the article.
The retired cop then noted that even the yakuza don’t like to use guns these days — because the penalties are too high...One mid-level yakuza boss told me, “Having a gun now is like having a time bomb. Do you think any sane person wants to keep one around the house?”

I can see an argument either way. More populated areas to legitimately represent commercial and cultural centers, but also, the needs of the entire system have to be considered.
Ah, so to connect N hosts together you need to configure N-1 connections in each of the hosts?

That's a bit of a hassle, though not prohibitive. A VPN that's secure and easy to configure would definitely be useful in getting all the components in our infrastructure talking to each other. No need to worry about authentication or encryption, it'd all be handled for you by the VPN.
I just don't install apps at all. I have a stock message app, a signal app, that's pretty much all I use for communication. No facebook, no instagram, no snapchat, no whatsapp, no slack, no bullshit. I'm sick and tired of having to find fucking "life hacks" and run through hoops to be not disturbed.

I started somewhat care less about notifications and emails and messages and whatnot. Unless people are in an urgency which I will reply, but normally I just reply whenever I am free. I'm not more productive, I just feel less attracted to the phone.

I just found this interesting article about how China wants to be the destination for all things lithium ion storage for repurposing.

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-03-11/china-s-g...

This could mean a profound shift in utility battery storage if all of these EV batteries are going to go into grid storage after their useful life has been depleted in vehicles.
Back in the early 2000s I visited Kitakyushu. From my hotel window around midnight, to 1am I witnessed some local hoodlums rev their car engine loudly, and then "run away" being chased by police in a car. The chase went around the square once and then peeled off to .. a red traffic light.

Both hoodlums and police stopped at the red light, and sat there until the light turned green before resuming their "chase" at approximately 20km/h.

I think they got away. Very slowly.

TL;DR yes youth culture is quite different around the world
After reading some of these comments, how ironic that a bunch of people who purport to want to change the world by building tech companies resonate so nicely with postmodern nihilism. Maybe reconciling that cognitive dissonance is why so many of you are cool with helping GAFA build better ways to surveil you - you can have your tech, your tech salary, and your nihilism too.
Since when is success dependent on the amount of people in the world that know about it?

Yes but we know from large long lived animals like elephants and bowhead whales that the cancer rate can be very significantly reduced. If we had the same anticancer systems as the bowhead whales basically no one would get cancer even if they lived for a 1000 years. This is what we need to be working on.

In much the same sense as people who sell cigarettes do; perhaps we should, therefore, have life without parole for convenience store clerks.

The entry level Pilot, Parker and Lamy pens are pretty reliable, for between $20-50. I started with a Parker Jotter medium nib years ago, and it remains one of my favorite writers.

(ed: I’ve had magnificent $3 chinese pens, awful $3 chinese pens, and some that can be improved with fiddling. Most Americans prefer broader, more “buttery” writing, which can be hard to get from the average Chinese nib. For most beginners, then, I’d say get a basic medium nib pen from an American/European/Japanese brand.)
Well I'm only thinking for a few seconds before writing a comment and they have some pretty smart heads working full time, but you could imagine compromising infrastructure of some popular app and adding your shiny bits there. The famous black box of radio also has some pretty decent hardware access. Gemalto sim cards hack etc.

When you help with some specific operation like drug trafficking you can probably limit amount of devices that you need to monitor by location. Then maybe deploy some zero cheaper zerodays there (or fivehundreddays, not everybody cares about the updates).

I agree that this is kind of paranoid talk. Maybe removing these parts does indeed help. If it does though, then I definitely wouldn't want to provide info about these modifications to the press.
This article remind me of the series movies "Crows Zero"about high school students fight each other to become the leader, and also fight other school's students. They only use bare hand. Weapon do appears, but very unlikely.

There's also a scene that an the "oyabun" (absolute leader of a yakuza clan) use gun to kill one man who did not complete a mission, but instead of shooting into his head, the oyabun gave the man his coat, and shoot to the back. It turns out that the coat is bullet proof, and the oyabun actually allow that man to live a normal life thereafter.

Watching that movie make me absolutely want to fight someone with my bare hand (I know I shouldn't).

Of course manga heroes are more about romantic ideals than historical accuracy, but even so, you can't really generalize about all samurai any more than you can generalize about all European knights. The samurai class existed in one form or another for around a millennium. I rather doubt that they all considered it a "disgrace" to draw their sword.
It is not just a matter of survival, but being able to perform hard physical labour when carrying a high load of malarial parasites. Europeans in areas of high malarial load just could not sustain the workload that west africans could. Lots of slave owners died of Malaria (particularly their children).

This is why the indentured servants were shipped to the North and the West African’s to the South. Western African slave labour was not able to compete against the lower cost indentured European workers in the North.
I could make arguments for both sides on both your questions. I wasn’t voicing an opinion there however as I’ve not seen enough to have one yet.
It is indeed anecdotal, but gang violence is hugely influenced by the culture of the nation it's taking place in. Brash, unabashed outlaws have been romanticized in American culture since its very beginning, and firearms have always been a part of the American gunslinger mythos. Other nations facing organized crime with access to firearms don't necessarily have the same issues.
