So you’ll use the local PD as bounty hunters, without the bounty. I’ve read through this whole thread, and I wonder if you’re aware of just how smarmy and evavise you’ve been throughout? As PR goes, silence would serve you better than your comments in the aggregate, and where you stop responding.

For example!

It’s understandable that you have no good answer to this, because the answer is clear.

I see what you're saying, but let's be realistic. Is every Uber/Lyft vehicle going to be outfitted with a wheelchair lift, just in case? That's definitely not going to happen. Most vehicles cannot accommodate a wheelchair, and the ones that can (vans) are very expensive to modify.

I am not completely wheelchair-dependent, but I cannot get into a tall vehicle (like an SUV). Last time I used Lyft, I had to call a vehicle and just cross my fingers that I would be assigned to one that would work for me. If not, I had to cancel and try again. I would much rather have a special vehicle dispatched to me than be assigned a vehicle that is inadequate.
Some counties have pre-trial departments and some don't. We believe we can perform these services or enhance services that already exist. In either case, making the current system more efficient and effective.
Some people just trust cops.

I sat on a jury that included testimony by a police officer.

Many months had passed since the incident and the cop said a bunch of things, then the defense said "You just said X, but in your incident report you wrote Y."

One of the jurors was stuck on "We should believe the police officer because he is a police officer" for about 60 minutes, before eventually becoming convinced that nothing he said added up.

EDIT: Let me expand on this with a question for the readers and the author of this post. This was published today, amidst the whole CA scandal. Why would the people leaving facebook amidst concerns of centralization of user data and privacy, go to Google, which its own set of as much if not more user data?

Google knows your search history, Youtube viewing habits, owns your web browser, email, photo vault, etc. If you have an Android phone it knows where you are at every moment --where you live, where you work, the places you frequent-- the apps you use, and probably a ton of other data points.

The thing they are missing from their complete data arsenal is your social information, which is worth a lot. Why would anyone leaving Facebook over concerns about big tech having to much data and power over them go hand it over to the bigger data tracking and ad business?

No it isn't - not if the same person sends you a mixture of useless and usefule emails. And it doesn't solve the problem of your email adress being made public.

This is the same argument constantly used to justify violating a country's own values:

If it takes more time to get a passenger with cerebral palsy in and out of the car, then a driver who picks one up is losing money compared to transporting a regular passenger. If the government wants encourage ride-sharing services, instead of punishing low-paid workers for doing what's in their interests, it should give drivers bonuses for transporting passengers who present difficulties.

My wife is a doctor. She does not get an extra fee for treating non-English speaking patients, but she needs to pay a translator, and the appointments are longer. She is effectively punished for seeing patients who don't speak English. By the same logic as above, either the insurance company or the patient should pay an extra fee when a translator is required. Otherwise, doctors will be motivated to avoid working where lots of patients need translators.
I agree with the last part at least. What I mean is "we can have a debate about whether the current legal requirements need exceptions for eg allergic drivers".

This isn't outsourcing, it is advertising. Apple and IBM have complimentary services that they've just made easier to integrate.

There is a vacuum in the Enterprise from when Blackberry was the go-to device. This smells of an in-road Apple might be taking to make itself the defacto Mobile Device for Enterprise.

IBM benefits from this by being able to market Watson services easier to App makers.
This attitude is forcing to ‘fork it’ approach, which is causing a lot of duplicated effort in practise, instead if you feeling like ‘not worth to maintain (can be by any reason, personal, lack of time, burnout), stepping down as maintainer and giving flag to someone else to carry is much more productive. But usually we witness, burned-out maintainers still sticking to their projects.
This distinctly worries me if it becomes considered a viable option. This is engineering 'not built here' ignorance. "Managed copy-paste"?

It's like they heard 'libraries were bad' and so they made implicit libraries instead of explicit ones, and called it 'new'. This is the kind of thing that makes me despair for the JS ecosystem. Am I jumping at shadows, or is this as dangerous a tool as I suspect it to be?
Yes, this is important to realize. I work in a fairly reputable design studio, and we take in interns every year. This year, all of our applicants were Asian students from overseas (mostly PRC) attending art/design schools in the US. In many cases, they do seem to come from wealthy backgrounds (eg went to private high schools abroad, etc). That was definitely not the case 5 years ago.

The only ones who can attend art school anymore are kids coming from very wealthy backgrounds.

The ranges could change over time.

If you run your own DNS resolver you can use the wildcard trick.

Something like this in an RPZ zone should do it:

fbcdn.com IN CNAME .
*.fbcdn.com IN CNAME .
fbcdn.net IN CNAME .

Well that depends. If you run out of money, then you have to transfer more coins onto the network.

If you don't want to make frequent 'top up' transactions to what is effectively a hot wallet, then you'd have to lock away many thousands of dollars.

Transaction fees on chain still matter quite a lot if you are unwilling to lock away a whole bunch of money up front.

Also the more money that is locked away on the LN, the more vulnerable to attack it is.

This is because one can attack the network by DDoSing the main chain, such that blocks are full for the time lock period. IE, if someone cheats and publishes an old LN transaction history, you have to publish your anti cheat transaction and if blocks are full for the couple weeks, then you can't defend yourself.

This style of attack only works if there is a bunch of money in the network though.

It is also counteracted if the main chain has high capacity as it becomes that much more expensive to attack the main chain.

Yep; for experiments like this to work you need a judicial system with a level of pragmatism that doesn't exist in the US; that is, to give some very high value to the ability of the non-repeated offenders to go back to e.g. support their children economically or go to college, etc; so any outliers who do go back to crime are seen as outliers and the work is done towards spotting those criminals earlier in the experiment rather than closing the experiment all together. But like I said is a level of cool-headedness uncommon in the US judicial system and in general a country where many politicians win elections through emotional manipulation.
I suspect the party endorsement is strategic; Feinstein has been polling way above de Léon and has stronger endorsements and leads in every demographic group. If the party can shift some of the support to de Léon in the primary (last poll I saw had them at something like 46-17, with de Léon’s 17 still above any Republican) they maximize the chance that even if the Republicans can solidify behind one candidate, Feinstein and de Léon can get the top two spots in the jungle primary and be the two candidates that advance to the general; if that happens, the party can essentially shift general election spending to other races.

OTOH, endorsing Feinstein would reinforce her position, undercut de Léon, and make it more likely that a Republican takes second in the primary, advancing to the general.

Agreed, Notes is now fully featured enough that it’s the only app I use for any kind of note taking.
> It's unhelpful and silly to suggest that people must break the law to be safe, and it completely defeats the point of speed limits and the rule of law

The law doesn't necessarily codify what's safe. You could go at 40km/h on a highway and be technically entirely within the law, but that's certainly not a safe thing to do. Similarly, you could go at exactly the posted speed limit on a snowstorm when everyone is driving slower and you would be entirely within the law, but you're probably going to get yourself killed.

Maybe if I always drive in the rightmost lane, being pedantic about posted limits is probably safe for a variety of reasons, but if I'm on the left lane of a 100km/h 3-lane highway, I wouldn't exactly feel comfortable going at 100 if everyone else is going at 125 (including cops).
Yeah, who does important meetings without meeting minutes anyway? If it's important, you want to remember it, and the way memory works, you will forget things without notes.
They do, this is discussed many times on russian tech sites as fact by experts.

Insecure managers are a plague and I'm very glad I'm no longer working under one.

"A real leader is thrilled when team members achieve great things. A mere manager is threatened."
Management should in some cases be its own career path instead of the default for good workers who get promoted. Good project management is a skill that we just expect out of people who get promoted.

The pay scale should change so good hackers, analysts, etc can get raises akin to getting promoted, and the same for project managers. Because a good manager should be able to cut out the feckless meetings, get people working where they are most productive, and make a good working environment.
That'll be fixed when the Uni PR department issues the press release.

The "Ledger Bounty Program Reward Agreement" appears to have a clause that may allow Ledger to prevent a researcher from publish their own report.

Letting China control American universities may give China an opportunity to influence intellectual thought about the role of China in the world, and the abuses it has committed at home. There are multiple reports about China using money and influence to limit the free speech of students [1,2], and is consistent with reports that China is heavily investing in international propaganda[3].

Is there any evidence that this change was the result of external pressure from Facebook, rather than as the result of internal NYT editing?

Articles frequently change in content, titles, and so on after publication, after all - that's why HN has to update titles so frequently.

Edit: Whoops, missed it the first read-through. Looks like the change was confirmed by the original reporter to be as the result of a request from the Facebook PR team.
No it's not. Amazon pays less taxes on books sold than any bricks-and-mortar store in countries like Germany. They abuse the broken tax system and force smaller players that can't afford those structures (or get an illegal special Ireland tax treatment like Apple) out of business because they can't compete against massive scale combined with lower taxes. The EU now tries to fix the system because those companies keep evading all other measures. The EU population and local businesses do not accept that damaging behavior anymore. You want to make profit in our countries? Don't abuse the system or it will be fixed to be fair again.
That level of judgment is actively discouraged and labeled "profiling".

Did Facebook have control over its (my? your?) data at Cambridge Analytica or not? I thought the extra 50 to 250 million profiles scraped were unauthorized access?

I could be entirely mistaken.
Why is there no baseline mentioned here? This is something that really bothers me about reporting these days. How much is 25 times? Is that a lot? I have no way of knowing. What kind of rate does that imply? How much should I discount police testimony given that information? If it's 25 out of 100, that's really bad. If it's 25 out of 100,000 - maybe it's not that pervasive a problem.
And I disagreed with that characterization. Especially in context of OPs hyperbolic call for Facebook's employees, and not Cambridge Analytica's employees, to quit their jobs.

About 3 hours. We have a CLI tool which is essentially a wrapper around docker and containers. It also manages DNS so that containers (backend, frontend, microservices, etc.) can talk to each other.

It was quite refreshing compared to my job in the US where I'm working on 100 things at once.
