I don't understand why everyone is focusing so heavily on LIDAR being at fault or not at fault. The car does have a RADAR as well, which would not help detecting the pedestrian but most certainly the bike she was moving along. I don't know the field of view of the radar but that should have caused an emergency brake as well, shouldn't it?

I must suggest my own company Rezi, https://rezi.io

Everything we do is centered around passing applicant tracking systems which is something no other resume company can say.

We also power South Korea's top university, Seoul National University, with all English resume needs, so we are doing cool things.

Please let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to personally help you with yours.

Here are some examples: http://blog.rezi.io/5-kick-a-rezi-ats-optimized-resume-examp...

Here is what one really awesome resume looks like: https://rezi.io/ats-resume-example/

> What do you mean by "prevent reusability"?

I read that as being about reusing the implementation - the actual machine code bytes which encode a function. If i call a function in library which uses dynamic dispatch, the compiler just emits a few instructions to jump to an existing implementation in the library. If i call a function in a library which uses static dispatch, the compiler will include the relevant monomorphisation of the function, and any other generic functions it calls.
Huh. Yeah I don't get it. If I sold my kitchen (saying it's 5% of my house) for $30,000 when I could have gotten $50,000, I suppose I wouldn't be broke up about it, but I'd still rather have %50,000.
How far-reaching is FOSTA?

Say I'm in the US and happen to run a mailing list about some programming language or whatever. Someone posts an off-topic message that promotes prostitution with sex-trafficking victims. The message passes spam filters and is redistributed to the mailing list subscribers. Am I now criminally liable for facilitating this, as the mailing list operator?

If so, shouldn't CL be shutting down everything entirely?

If I'm not liable, on the other hand (that is to say, I have an "off topic defense"), then why can't that apply to CraigsList; they can just say that anything of that sort is off topic. At the very least they could keep the "strictly platonic" category where that sort of promotion is off topic.
i always felt that Hans Roslings message was similarly coopted by the same libertarian right - to the detriment of the world's poorest and the non human inhabitants we share the planet with. it behoves us a to have the bigger picture - the state of humanity must also include our inhabitat, which is in trouble.
Being a journalist should not put you above the law, but the law should be careful to protect freedom of the press. It is a foundational element of western society -- even though we're talking about Canada, which doesn't have a first amendment.
I won't beat about the bush. If you don't understand the laws, or don't know how to keep your stack secure, YOU SHOULD NOT COLLECT PERSONAL DATA!

Ignorance isn't an excuse.

It is a burden. It's supposed to be a burden. It's supposed to make it harder for companies to amass toxic dumps of sensitive data, that go onto get hacked. And to stop the Facebooks of the world weaponising every anecdote they can link to you.

It's a good set of measures. It's just going to be a cock to comply with some times. I get that. I'm going to have to comply with it. But I'm happy that companies I deal with will also have to deal with it, for my sake, as a consumer.
In my opinion, a good resume is one that is easy to read and isn't flamboyant (unless you're a designer).

As someone who used to interview at least three candidates a week, I tend to look at their resumes right before going into the interview. I want to be able to easily understand their backgrounds, what sort of responsibilities they've had in the past, and maybe what technologies they're proficient in.

Here's a checklist of things that I think should be included (in this order):
- Name, number, email
- Relevant work experience
- Technologies that they're proficient in
- Education

You can also choose to include personal projects if you have space for it. For new grads, I like to see personal projects that weren't class projects. That definitely makes them stand out from every other new grad.

For my own resume, I used Apple Pages and one of their standard templates. No need to get crazy and choose something wildly unique.
>The effects of this will and should be felt in the next election and beyond.

Should? Yes. Will? No.

>Your sophisticated world-weary cynicism is counterproductive

Painfully naive idealism isn't any different. You have to work with reality, not deny it.

Is Facebook Really Scarier Than Google?
Facebook has been shown to be completely careless with securing your data - this wasn't even a data breach, the functionality to get all the data was a part of their API. Apple on the other hand has been very publically proactive about protecting your data.

I feel like this is more a reaction to the complete lack of responsibility Facebook had for keeping your data secure rather than the collection of data in the first place.
Fair enough! But getting confused by moving to a new place is common, regardless of language
It's GNU/Linux, and GNU = GNU is Not Unix.

So it says Not Unix right on th tin.
> My point is, there are more people now openly able and willing to approach prostitutes who think "shut up and do what I say because I'm paying you [you low life worthless being who has to sell you body to make a living]".

What does this have to do with the discussion at hand? Between this comment and the one in which you attempted to feign credibility by making up a series of numbers that had no reference to back them, you’re not really saying much.

I could similarly argue that legalized food service increases a server’s exposure to people who think that they are worthless because they have to serve food for a living. If your point is that some percentage of people are assholes who look down on others and that more people means more assholes overall, then this is already well understood. How this clarifies the topic at hand or in any way furthers the discussion is missing.
I lost a lot of friends quitting Facebook. All of the events we coordinated were over Facebook. I was no longer able to invite people to my events, and they no longer were notifying me of their events. I was off the radar.

Took me more than two years to build up a new set of friends who could coordinate apart from Facebook after that.

Not fun, but Facebook was definitely unhealthy.
I suppose I should say, "Hanlon's Razor often applies to sentencing, only occasionally to guilt"
Other OSes, not impregnated with UNIX culture, have a different view on C++'s use on kernel space.

OS X and its descendents is the only exception.

Which goes back to NeXTSTEP using Objective-C and offering UNIX compatibility only as a path to bring software into the system, battling against SGI and Sun market space.
The regulation applies if the data controller, an organisation that collects data from EU residents, or processor, an organisation that processes data on behalf of data controller like cloud service providers or the data subject (person) is based in the EU.

The regulation also applies to organisations based outside the EU if they collect or process personal data of individuals located inside the EU. According to the European Commission, "personal data is any information relating to an individual, whether it relates to his or her private, professional or public life. It can be anything from a name, a home address, a photo, an email address, bank details, posts on social networking websites, medical information, or a computer’s IP address."

The mobile site makes this way, way, way easier. You literally just have to enter your password and the deed is done: https://m.facebook.com/account/delete

I just reactivated my deactivated account to delete it.
A particularly ugly thing happens if the HN mods for some good or bad reason decide to ban an account: their contributions will be there forever, with no ability to append explanations to previous posts.

This will after May 25 be illegal for services offered in the EU, but I kind of think that the same courtesy should apply to non-europeans.
...and does it actually delete your data from Facebook's servers? I.e. all their records of your messaging history, all your photos, their ability to make a future third party face-recognize you on the street, their knowledge of who you find attractive, what party you are likely to vote for, what crimes you are likely to commit, what you like to spend money on and so on and so forth?
That sounds right from the point of view of the whole economy, and is this stock priced correctly. But I think if I were Dropbox I'd rather have sold my stock at an even higher price, and if the IPO buyers take a loss on it I wouldn't think that's a problem. But, I am not experienced in such matters, perhaps I'm just missing something.
That would increase accident rates. Parent was positing a scenario where self-driving cars don't cause fewer accidents than humans. This could mean a more or less equal amount.
Elon Musk Joins #DeleteFacebook with a Barrage of Tweets
Instead what I see is vague pablum that reduces to "all people are different and each individual is unique."

I think that's a fantastic starting point!

"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." -- Thomas Jefferson

Reworded for the 21st century: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all are created equal; that they are endowed from their being with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

We know that different mentalities arise from different circumstances, so we must consciously consider a diversity of circumstances.

So why not just directly measure viewpoint diversity and strive for that, then? Also, a diversity of circumstances is not absolutely equivalent to a diversity of race. To pretend otherwise is also racist.
It would probably also create a boom in prostitution - with the accompanying drawbacks. Job Cohen, the former mayor of Amsterdam lamented in crime organizations and human traffickers taking advantage of their lax prostitution laws
You could use the same argument against anything that groups of people consider "immoral".

Alterations of the position:

"While I'm in favor of people engaging in worship, I don't think anybody worships Mohammad with a healthy attitude towards the lord. They're typically victims of religious indoctrination at a young age, which has warped their perception, leading them to believe in a false god"

"While I'm in favor of people having freedom, I don't think anybody uses narcotics with a healthy attitude towards their health. They're typically victims of immoral liberal households at a young age, which has warped their perception, leading them to believe that drugs are OK"

Basically, you're making a moral decision and saying that anybody that ends up making a contrary decision for themselves must be damaged due to their upbringing.
Congratulations to dhouston for being a great example of a startup founder, and for creating a very successful company.
$, not %, sorry.
Part of me feels that some of the anti-gun news coverage and concerns are driven by the concerns of the super wealthy.

I have no data to back this concern, but I feel with all their money and all the think tank they're financially backing there is a probably some prediction of the impact of AI into future employment and the growing inequality divide.

If you're super wealthy, the last thing you want is a large disenfranchised population without much prospect and sense of purpose in life with guns in their hands.
In the United States, the overall cancer death rate has declined since the early 1990s. The most recent SEER Cancer Statistics Review, updated in September 2016, shows that cancer death rates decreased by:

1.8% per year among men from 2004 to 2013

1.4% per year among women from 2004 to 2013

1.4% per year among children ages 0–19 from 2009 to 2013

From https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/understanding/statistics. Yes, that's US only, but the US has built a lot of cellular and wifi infrastructure during that time of cancer rate decline.
IMHO there are better proposals for a "better C" language which fix some of the shortcomings of original C:

- http://c2lang.org/site/

- https://ziglang.org/

- https://nim-lang.org/

As long as the language is small and has good tooling, and (most importantly) can easily interoperate with C libraries (have a look at Nim for an really awesome C integration), it doesn't matter whether it is backward compatible with C.

C itself should stay what it is. A low level and simple language without surprises which is only very slowly and carefully extended. Languages that are developed "by committee" and add lots of new features quickly are usually also quickly ruined.
I think you handled BrandonM's critiques pretty well, and not immediately getting defensive around the products shortcomings was well played. Congrats to you and your team.
That is rough, but after looking at C++ template error messages a lot recently, that error message looks pretty sweet!
That Locky simply moved 40% of their revenue into BTC-e (Figure 8), without going through mixers, is likely just bad op-sec.
Wasn't the first FISA request in June '16? Much earlier than most wiretapping of presidential candidates by administrations of the other wing of the status quo party!
Build the pages on your own servers and use server-side code that would break the page if it wasn't present.

On the plus side, you now know that you do not want to work for that company!

As for what you can do about what has already happened, definitely consult a lawyer if you feel it is work perusing. It may be worth taking to small claims.
Sure, but the point is that Trump is an effective mud monster... 'dirt' doesn't stick on him because imho, his voter base knows he is a mud monster and only care if he is effective or not.

Take the whole Trump cheating on his wife with a porn star and now a Penthouse Pet of the year. His voter base has barely blinked.

Personally I think Trump knows exactly what he is doing when he says and does certain things that cause his political opponents to waste their time and energy being outraged.

He's controlling the news cycle and the media is playing right into it.
I'm not a lawyer, but HN is not established (AFAIK) in the EU, and while it has EU users, it likely does not meet the threshold of actively offering goods or services to EU residents. Being accessible from the EU in itself isn't sufficient to trigger the GDPR.

When he inevitably comes back to you wanting changes, refuse to do so until you receive payment for work done so far. Make sure that a suitably solid contract is in place for future work.
> I would bet on nothing. The GDPR is there to catch the worst offenders, the other 99% of offenders will feel nothing.

No. The danger is that Internet goliaths will use the GDPR to intimidate or even shut down smaller competitors. Think of patent trolls, just worse - because the GDPR has really huge fines attached and is damn easy to get wrong in implementations.

While the GDPR was intended to be beneficial to EU consumers, I fear it will end up being most beneficial to lawyers.
A piece of advice, two of the words in the large graphic are spelled wrong (explanation and experience).
This won't happen. If you're a wagering man, i'll happily take the other side of a bet about it.
Yep you are quite right.

Other OSes not tied to UNIX culture were always more open to reach out for C++, even if constrained to a certain subset.
Talk to a lawyer before disclosing that sort of information! You don't want to be hit with slander charges.
> The cause of this problem is ignorance and incompetence regarding fundamental aspects of the language.

No! You can rationalize any language problem away with this argument. That's why it's a fallacy with a name: "no true Scotsman" (as in: "no true C++ programmer would let object slicing introduce a bug").

Object slicing is a problem with C++, period.

Bad practices can carry over to any language. They’re clearly incompetent at using C, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t be incompetent in another language.

Eliding someone's individuality by reducing them to their skin color is absolutely racism. If you or your family is from anywhere in Asia and you live in the US, you get to deal with that nonsense all the time.
This is where you quickly educate the customer. It's no different than you calling a plumber, only to find out that what you thought would be a $50 job is really a $500 job.

If they seem like the type who doesn't understand the cost, you tell them "from your description you're already well into 5-figure development cost." Or "$500 is typically what you'd expect to pay for minor website content updates."

This ballpark pricing shouldn't take more than a few minutes to figure out. And it puts the ball back in their court to do more research and figure out if they can really afford the going rates.
Interesting. I wonder if it is coincidence, or if they timed this to ride on the Dropbox IPO.
The thing is, if there is a blanket exception for journalists, then any group of five home invaders will have one guy doing the break-and-entering, and four of them carrying camera to claim they are just journalists reporting on a crime in progress.

If a journalist wants to follow the perpetrators of some unlawful entry, that journalist must in fact somehow possess the authorization to be there that the perpetrators do not, otherwise he or she is equally unauthorized.

There is no legal category of person called "journalist" who are authorized to enter anywhere they want.

While this situation is unfortunate due to its particular circumstances, there isn't any good way to fix the rules to make an exception.
That's the only reason I won't delete. So many friends from traveling that would be lost ...
Is anybody else getting a complete hang/lockup of WaPo pages when using a VPN?
"When we launched 13 years ago, we never imagined that a company that we’d funded would one day go public."

That statement suggests YC was looking more for buyouts than IPO's, which isn't necessarily wrong, but it wasn't a quote I'd have anticipated.
And you can do the same in Rust with Box<Any>. What Rust doesn't have is the object slicing gotcha, which is probably a language design mistake in C++.
my understanding is that these conditions apply to people in the EU, i.e. that EU residents must be able to delete their content from HN (but HN has no obligation to non-EU residents)
One of the central tenets of free speech is that there's no such thing as a "journalist", just people engaging in journalism. The protections of journalists apply to you whether you work for the NYT or you're a hobo with a cheap cell phone; You can document and report on things around you.

On one hand, it's not a free license for anyone to break trespassing or other laws with impunity. Being a journalist doesn't absolve you of public safety concerns. It doesn't absolve you of It's an affirmative defense. You take an illegal action only to offset a much larger one. Journalists often do engage in trespass to document illegal practices. There's a despicable practice that's become common, called "ag-gag laws", which prohibit filming in slaughterhouses. Why would you do that? These laws have no merit... Until you read the accounts of film crews that acquired jobs at meat production facilities only to film "exposes" about meatpacking practices... That were, pretty simply, not surprising or exposing anything. They're often gruesome, significantly because these crews are making it the story. Meatpacking is and always has been an unpretty industry, and quite frankly reportage inside the packing houses is important - Upton Sinclair would have something to say about it - But these crews were endangering themselves and others for the sake of their drama, operating machines unsafely, allowing unsanitary conditions to build for the sake of "exposing them". There was a legitimate problem with charlatans on a mission, each looking to one-up each other. I saw a few of these movies, and my reaction to the first one was "So you went to a farm?" - The latter were "That's unsafe", but not about the farms but about the behavior of the crew filming.

It sounds like this guy is on the edge of being a nuisance protestor claiming journalism, and a legitimate journalist trying to get to the heart of the story. I actually doubt that it's that fuzzy if you had the full testimony, but there's a legitimate reason for this to go to court. Sad, but legitimate.
Well the tyrants killed or exiled everyone they thought were disloyal to them, and they let Socrates stay. This along with him being Critias teacher meant that the Tyrants at least considered Socrates to be on their side, even if Socrates didn't see it the same way. As far as disobeying the Tyrants Socrates said that he was ordered, along with three others, to bring another citizen to the tyrants where he would have been killed. Socrates said he disobeyed and just went home, refusing to help or to warn the man. I'm not aware of anyone who did corroborate this, and even best case scenario it's still a pretty weak form of disobedience which wouldn't have won him many friends among the families and friends of those executed.
I agree it would cause problems with the discussion threads, but a solution to this would be for HN to substitute the username & message with "Removed due to GDPR request" or similar.

Can you explain why exceptions and operator overloading are "idiotic" things? Are you from the Go school of boilerplate-error-checking-code design, or something?
It's a freedom to write whatever you want without being harassed by the government. It doesn't give you any freedom to break any laws while doing that (including harassment or libel).

I was more concerned about the case of Antoine Trepanier, who was arrested for harassment for doing normal journalism. However it appears that the charges have now been dropped.
It's funny, because for me the primary benefit of Facebook is events. Keeping track of events with calendar invites is much more clunky and higher friction. Messenger is just walled-garden email and I could live without it, but I have no idea how to do community events as well as I can with Facebook.

And it's funny because contrary to the "Facebook as hypnotist" narrative (which is real) Facebook is a really fantastic tool for getting people together talking face to face and even working together on things.
