You are correct. If someone can afford bail, they will likely bail out. If someone is not given bail by a judge, they will not be allowed to bail out or participate with Promise-they will stay in jail until the resolution of their case. If someone has been given a bail, but cannot afford to bail out, this is someone who is eligible to work with Promise. If the court agrees, they will be released from jail and returned to the community (their job, home, family, etc.) without posting bail. Promise will then help support them to 1. Comply with their court mandated obligations and 2. Connect them to services based on a needs assessment conducted by Promise staff. I hope this is clear. We will work to review the website and make sure that it is. Thank you!

So true. I think of technological capability as of a cultural artifact these days. In the sense that you can’t really just start making something sophisticated right off the bat, you have to build the culture that enables you to do it, slowly, bit by bit. You can certainly try to cargo cult, but you won’t really get anywhere if you don’t have the intangibles.
Your own story disproves your conclusion. Your driving instructor, like many (many) other drivers, didn't make the infererence that you did. People don't drive well. Cars are dangerous.

The criterion (really the only criterion) for whether or not automatic vehicles "should be on the road" is whether or not they are safer than the alternative. And that certainly doesn't include "being as good a driver as jdavis703 was in this particular anecdote".

You can't just write up an arbitrary contract and assume it will hold up in a court of law. For example, if I tried to rent out a unit by signing a lease that allowed the landlord to turn my water off if I posted a negative review about them, their lease would probably be found in violation of the corresponding state's landlord-tenant laws.

Precedents are established all the time. In the case of Facebook, this is something that common law would not have addressed prior to the early 2000s. Never before have we had such an efficient data-mining machine in the hands of anyone. New technologies warrant new laws.

Edit: One example of such a landlord, by the way, is Anne Kihagi who neglected many such tenants. I'm not sure if she did so through a faulty lease, however. It's late... https://www.modernluxury.com/san-francisco/story/home-invade...
A single self driving car probably wouldn't (might do the same thing you did at best).

It'll take actual inter-vehicle communication to extend the sensor-net. Much like humans presently do via proxying though the other car's deviations from anticipated behavior. (EG if the freeway traffic keeps going at proper speed around corners)
The page's HTML is the API. It's pretty easy to download a web page, parse the HTML and then extract specific bits of information from it. The browser does the same thing on the user's behalf, which is why it is called the user agent.
I belong to a women's industry group and pay dues, in a very gender-unbalanced industry. We talk about issues that are very specific to women: how to get more of us in the industry, mostly. Men of the industry are always welcome to our social events and I think they enjoy coming along because it's the only place in their own work lives where they get to hang out with women. So we're showing men what a world with women in it, is like. Eventually we won't need the industry group, once we're well-established.
> I like Facebook to keep up with friends who I don't get to see very often...For example, I literally haven't seen some of my high school friends since we graduated 22 years ago, but I know all about their kids and families and their recent successes at their jobs.

Why is that so useful though? If they were really important to you personally, you'd have kept in (active) touch with them. If you don't live in the same town as them, then you're not likely to encounter these people outside of a reunion.

I'm not trolling or criticizing, I'm genuinely curious why "staying in touch" in this way is so valued. I can see the value of LinkedIn (it's always possible you may develop business or professional relationships with passing acquaintances from your past and I take care to prune my connections occasionally) but the draw of FB is a bit mysterious to me.

The burden for finding someone not guilty is that there exists some kind of doubt as to their guilt.

In order for anyone to be found guilty of giving false testimony the burden would be likewise. It would require that it be shown without a doubt that they lied.

> e.g. success typing puts the burden of proof on the compiler which will only reject a program if it can prove that the program is incorrect

That describes any dynamic language that does type inference. Type is taken into account for diagnosis and better code, but not as an excuse for rejecting the program just because it isn't fully analyzed.

Let's not forget that Alteryx sells the data of 123 Million American Households. That data Was Exposed Online https://www.upguard.com/breaches/cloud-leak-alteryx
"the data was part of a product - the Alteryx Designer With Data - that sells for around $38,995 per license. In its own marketing for the Experian service, Alteryx notes that the database contains "consumer demographics, life event, direct response, property, and mortgage information for more than 235 million consumers." 'It included an extraordinary range of personal details on residents, including addresses, ethnicity, interests and hobbies, income, right down to what kind of mortgage the house was under and how many children lived at the property. In total, there were 248 different data fields for each household, according to the researcher who uncovered the leak data this week.

Whilst there were no names exposed, Chris Vickery, a cybersecurity researcher from UpGuard, told Forbes it was simple to determine who the data was linked to, either by looking at the details or by crosschecking with previous leaks. He found the data was sitting in an Amazon Web Services storage "bucket," left open to anyone with an account, which are free to obtain." https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2017/12/19/120m-...

Well, if the accused is considered non guilty of what they said they saw them do, then doesn't that "prove" that they lied? (as much "without a doubt" as the other person is innocent).
Ask HN: Will rewriting Cassandra in Go solve GC issues?
I am GC/DBMS noob.

We keep coming across articles which explain Cassandra's GC issues.

I quit most sugar consumption a few years ago and can recommend it. I think it can also be beneficial to cut out all refined grains.

I reduced salt intake to a couple hundred milligrams per day last week, and I've barely noticed.

My main staples are lots of steamed vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, fruit, and a little fish and brown rice. I also do some calorie restriction, and water fasting for 2-5 days at a time. I cook almost everything from scratch and do meal prep a couple of times per week to have quick access to healthy foods. Two years in, and I'm 65 pounds lighter and feeling satisfied with the meals.

Automation on farms would be a necessary move, its back-breaking work that you don't get to experience that is totally different from the u-pick experiences, they grow bushes very small (at about 1/8th the size of bushes you see in movies) with lots of fruits so that the bushes mature very early and need minimal space, all of which make picking it up very tiring, generally speaking the only people picking with me are either very nice "immigrants" or people I wouldnt want to walk home in the night with.

Anyone here actually use Java containers in production?

Sadly the article mentions very little in terms of practical advice. We've tried running some small Java 8 Spring Boot containers in Kubernetes which are configured to use max ~50M heap and ~150M total off-heap yet decide to use in excess of double that memory so we end up with either a lot of OOMKills or overly large memory limits.
What's it called when the primary key is also a "foreign" (but not really) key into the same table? Anyway just do that. Each Item has a "PrecededByItemId" value. To insert X between A & B, just make X preceded by A and B preceded by X. Or probably better, go the other way (FollowedByItemId). It's the SQL version of a linked list. Efficient? Yes they're integers and an insert takes only two changes. Robust? Yes, infinite inserts possible. Elegant? Beats any of that complicated stuff in the article, unless I'm missing something. I suppose you could run out of integers but if your to-do list is that long, well...
Yes, and look at how well their economy does.
Perhaps I should have been more explicit. I was intending to refer to those who regret their choice after having realized that not all of what they read or heard was true and so made their decision on effectively just an emotional impulse.

Thank you for enlightening me on why the previous user was so aggressive in his rebuke. I can see how, if somebody is happy with their choice, they may have felt slighted and assumed I implied that they, too, were conned.

I can appreciate that somebody's personal calculus is different from my own. However, those whom I have encountered that regret their decision articulate it in such terms that "con" really is the proper descriptor.
The next step is for Facebook to go after individual dissenters, and train their AI to do so.
Similar to the conservation of energy in physics you can ask yourself "is there enough space for the information?". If somebody tries pulls two signals out of one signal, they better don't have too much entropy each. For a given bandwidth (number of independent samples), a given signal energy, and a given noise energy, there is a hard limit to the amount of information you can pull out.

If your signals are not "full entropy" or "white noise", you can do all sorts of funny tricks to increase the SNR to some extent. These tricks sure are nice but they veil the true issue at hand which is about information and capacity.

Lytro has really cool technology but never really found a good use case for consumers. I owned both the 1st generation and 2nd generation camera, as much as I hated the UI of the software and usability of the hardware, I can clearly see the team has tried really hard to make it usable. They tried building an editing app, a community, a community 2.0, multiple hardware batch revisions. I wonder why they didn’t stop sooner or up to which point they feel like this direction is done. I felt they never really listened to the photographer community during the process, or answer support sufficiently, they have done pretty much the exact opposite of user first or user driven product development in my opinion, and this still left me confused today. Burning a few million dollars a month, I feel it really took a series of very bad decisions to lead to this financial outcome.
One benefit is a more robust execution model, in which objects know what type they are. Given a machine word and a RAM dump, I can tell you the type of the object in that word or the location that the word points to. I don't need to know the address of the piece of machine code which is manipulating that word, which, in turn, I don't need to correlate to the matching source code via debug info.

Type inference is compatible with dynamism.

Infer all you want. Optimize and diagnose, just don't strip type from my objects, please, and don't say I can't try running something because it wasn't completely checked.

The problem here, is that you cannot see that your economy is based on establishing social injustice in all areas. Tipping, as a requirement because businesses don't pay their employees fairly, is to be treated as a moral obligation on someone who is not part of that process instead of a symptom of the basic injustice of the employer/employee relationship.

The only tightwads here are the businesses (and the employees who agree with their policies) who will not pay their employees a fair wage. Again, it is not the responsibility of the customer to ensure that a business survives and thrives. My question to you is "Are you a business owner who does this and are now trying to justify your actions?"

So, you are in agreement with the customs of other countries that women should be treated as second class citizens. You are espousing the treatment of employees by their employers as second class citizens. Your comparison to shoe removal in Japan is not even in the league of the social injustice attitude of not paying employees a fair wage.

In my country, tipping is not the custom as we have minimum wages to adhere to and if a business doesn't do this, those in charge are prosecuted.

Finally, I have no intention of ever visiting the USA. The way its citizens are treated is appalling enough, how it treats its visitors is even worse.

To be honest I was not aware that Facebook invited anyone to take out that data merely asking them to delete it shortly after. That's the part that's new and offending to me.

Meanwhile I tolerate political campaigns using targetted advertising. I just wish people were showing more competence when it comes to media consumption and the ability to distinguish between truthful reporting and obvious lies. The media illiteracy is the real problem I see with this issue.

Would you elaborate on how to select data in the custom order efficiently? What you're describing can't be easily indexed, if I understand you correctly. The strategy outlined in the submission ensures minimal table rewrites on updates (insertion, reordering, deletion) as well as efficient retrieval.
Where I work most of our dockerized services are Spring Boot in Kubernetes, they do need more memory than what you've posted and generally run with about 300M ~ 600M usage depending on what they need to do.

You can also use smaller frameworks (Vertx? Javalin? possibly Spring Boot 2). I hope that with Java 9 we won't see this amount of memory usage anymore, however our organisation isn't there yet though.

I implemented something like this in a naive way. I took the modified date (previous default sort order) and stored the unix timestamp * 100 in a 64 bit indexed SortVal column. Drag-n-drop sets the SortVal +/-1 relative to the item it is being dropped against. There's only ~30 items per page so I figure it won't break except in the pathological case.

Curious if there is some obvious flaw with this plan or if I really need the power of true fractions.
>The outleash regarding collecting personal data for election fiddling started with Trump and Brexit

Definitely false, Apple even built business model around it and actively promoting it's privacy as a selling point over Android.

But surely Trump amplified it because, unlike Obama, he is very divisive.

Anyway, if you happen to have a time machine I will happily jump in with you and go back in time and warn against the dangers of data hoarding and privacy violations but I doubt that it will be effective because it's Obama and his campaign wasn't divisive so we will end up with the argument that if you didn't do anything wrong there's nothing to hide.

We wouldn't be able to demonstrate that with privacy violations you can divide a continent(Brexit) or make Trump a president.

Besides, I'm really not happy to approach the problem from the "What about Obama" angle. Is "what about" even a useful argument? What's to be achieved if you are right that Obama indeed did the exact same thing? Should we just go ahead and fill out the missing information on our Facebook profiles because Obama did it too?

Speaking to senior management about being "seen" doing something here. Maybe you should pull up your bootstraps and ask your team what they need, use your authority to knock down any blockers the team identifies, listen to them, work with them in the trenches, and in a way become their slave, ready to move on anything they ask of you. But hey, that's just what I'd do in the situation and be danmed if someone tried to tell me I wasn't doing something.
