>Is there a compelling reason to allow such spoofs?

A few use cases to spoof the number:

* Appointment reminder systems - if I see the caller ID is from my doctor's office, I'm going to pick it up and hear the reminder. When the calls come from some other number, people think it's spam. People still expect reminder calls even if you/HN crowd would prefer an email/text.

* Outbound call centers on behalf of others companies (same reason as above)

* People who work from home but want to make business calls from a personal phone

If no one could spoof, it probably result in a huge uptick of people claiming spam calls since they would be getting tons of calls from numbers they didn't know.

There really needs to be an SPF, DKIM, DMARC for VOIP. I don't think a no spoofing policy would go over well for businesses or consumers.
It's probably totally against the Hacker News comment guidelines for me to say this, but do you think people could perhaps stop globally replacing "the" with "said"? This meme, or whatever it is, is getting rather old and rather irritating. But if for some reason people feel it's necessary, by all means carry on and I'll try not to complain again.
I wonder whether the headline applies to adults as well.
For some managers its not just a trust issue but also about loosing control. So even if they trust their employees to work hard from home they don't feel comfortable with the idea.

I don't know why that is happening, but I have seen it first hand.
In London there are special lanes for buses. There are fines for using them at certain times of the day if you are in a private vehicle (there are fixed cameras, and cameras in the busses too). Cyclists are free to use them

My intuition is that the only languages that have grown faster are those that were blessed as "native" for a popular platform. For it's age it seems to be doing really really well.

But given Go's mix of advantages and disadvantages, should we expect it to be doing better? I doubt it.

And people all over the world read about the case and started to worry that something similar might happen to them, even though it was one single case on another continent (from where I am) two years ago. Maybe we should treat it as the freak incident it was.

UK has no helmets and I very rarely see kids cycling to school, especially by themselves. Cycling in London is a very recent development and the infrastructure only recently started to appear. Even then it is designed around cycle superhighways for commuters rather than local journeys which can involve crossing many busy roads.

How exactly? Do you use a backpack? Or somehow stow them on the scooter?
You're starting from the assumption that the Google developers took a clear-eyed decision on the merits, which I don't share.
The escalators have been renovated over the past few months, but should be back into action now so they can start renovating the elevators. It should cut down on cyclists a lot because most won’t be taking the escalators but opt for the ferry instead.

On a warm summer’s day it’s nice to get out of the stuffy city using this tunnel. It’s always cool down there, and the monotony of the walk relaxes the mind. On the other shore there’s lots of green and open space, very quiet.
That and, entities with large amounts of power (such as a titanic corporation with billions in revenues) are compelled to exploit any avenue for making more money, compelled to exploit any externalities they're not actively held responsible for, and compelled to hire astroturf and pay for false information to the exact extent that they can, not legally, but practically, get away with it.

They are compelled to be this because if they don't the next guy will do it and beat them, and there's an ocean of evidence demonstrating that 'good people' will go along with all of it if seeming authority demands it.

History's littered with this. To be like 'oh, but THIS time we have to give the corporation the benefit of all possible doubt, because their PR statement says if you don't then billions of people will die and all will be lost'…?

No way. No way. The fundamental truth of society is that the powerful will take advantage. Acknowledging that goes back to the Magna Carta. This is no time to ditch that and turn over unquestioned power to gods, kings and corporations.
"It’s a tragedy sure but does that mean solar is dangerous? Of course not. Climbing up on the roof of your house is dangerous and everybody knows that."

That danger is sure a relevant factor when evaluating energy policy. People can know the danger all they want, they'll still do it more often if governments subsidize or otherwise promote rooftop solar.

I think it's fair game to compare those deaths to radiation poisoning deaths from nuclear spills.
I won't vote either way, but I will say that regardless of what GDPR may mean, "you need a cookie warning" will be accepted web dev mantra for years, and the things they build in that time will be around longer still.
It's like airplanes vs. cars.

There are several orders of magnitude more deaths in cars than there are in airplanes, but it is immensely spectacular when there are aiplane accidents, leading to a perception of unsafety. On the flip side, there will be at least one person dying in your city, TODAY, due to cars. But that is not spectacular and we gloss over it.
There are extensive, multi-stage, rational, mandated procedures for not putting every candidate vaccine into a single category. Categorizations based on anecdotal evidence and superstition are not helpful.

They can also be used by taxis and other utility vehicles (e.g. the police) like here in Germany, but yes - it's a bit wasteful. This is why they only build them where there's space.
Such laws are not a product of any discussion or knowledge or research.
They are a product of responsibilty avoidance metrics in large processes in goverments and companys. The pros and cons are not even evaluated.

It gets worser still- alot of these laws are used as hooks for a state-driven mafia- aka selling unneeded goods to people who would have never bought them in the first place without the laws.

Take the splitting up of the germans driver licenses for various small scale vehicle classes or various other safety laws, which are basically buisness generation for safety measures and consultant services. There is something particular perverse if police is forced to enact and enforce mafia created laws.
Thanks! Yes, those are the commits/page I saw. I referred to "wasm" because Emscripten can target wasm now. But I guess back in 2015 it only targeted asm.js, is that right?

I think you are clearly confused what an electric scooter is. The scooter in Asian countries which looks more like a Motor cycle is not the scooter being talked about in the article.
In all of those scenarios, one could prove they controlled or had authorization for the spoofed number, hence it would not be eligible for my proposed fine.

I'm not suggesting no spoofing, I'm suggesting a fine on the carrier for unauthorized spoofing, which will force them to actually verify that there is authorization.
Frankly we just don’t need nuclear

You lambast the actual statistics cited, but fail to provide anything yourself. How much TW is currently produced globally by Nuclear, and how much Solar or other renewables? What is the timeframe until there is parity?
The "you need a cookie warning" is yhe reason why the GDPR is actually so strict, though.

The goal was to let users opt out of tracking in the hope that the industry would self-regulate.

Now that it hasn't, GDPR is coming down hard.

Web devs really manage to fuck everything up.
The question wasn't about why spoofing exists at all. It was about spoofing where they did not control the claimed number.

If you want to place a call with spoofed caller ID info, your provider should require you to prove that the spoofed information is legitimate, not fraudulent. Otherwise, the telco should be obligated to strip the suspect caller ID information from the call so that the recipient can properly identify the call as fishy.

There's no need for any complicated cryptographic solution. Telcos should just be required to know their customer, much like banks, before allowing them to do certain things.

So open a free RH acct and buy some REIT ETFs.. It's free.

Not sure I'd buy into REITs when interest rates are set to go up, if you buy into a highly leveraged REIT and their interest payments go up you're going to lose a lot of money.

edit: Open a Vanguard IRA (Roth if you can), max out yearly contributions, buy VOO and VTI and hold until retirement. Add in some bonds as you see fit. Put at least as much as your employer will match into your 401k, more if you can afford it. Take the steady 6-7% return, you'll be hard pressed to beat it on your own. You'll be sitting on millions of dollars when you retire with this strategy.

The reason POS systems win over is because the waitstaff UX is not the primary factor in the pros/cons list.

Consider things that are easy to do with a POS that are hard to do with handwritten notes:

* Generate a list of how many of each dish sell each night/week/month to decide what dishes to add/cut.

* Reconcile sales figures with purchasing to identify abnormal food waste/shrink.

* Identify waitstaff who are unusually good/bad at up-selling on wine/desserts.

* Automatically reconcile the till at the end of the night to notice any discrepancies.

Whenever you have data be converted from an unstructured format to a structured format and then back into the identical unstructured format, the detour in the middle is always going to seem like a pain in the ass because data entry is always a pain in the ass. But the justification for doing so is that other people need the data in that structured format so they can aggregate and analyze that data more easily and you happen to have just shouldered the shitty task of data entry on top of all of your other duties. It doesn't make the system overall a bad one though.

I think it depends on what you want to optimize for. If you want to optimize for individual productivity (and there are no trust issues) then sure, working from home is effective.

However, you may decide that the individual productivity loss of having people work in an office is outweighed by the group productivity and morale gain from having people working together. Here are some reasons from a holistic company perspective for requiring people to work out of the office:

- To more effectively add to the culture of the company.

- To take part in ad hoc training opportunities, either to teach someone who needs help, or to learn something from someone when an obstacle is encountered.

- To be able to attend in-person meetings or stand-ups when urgent things come up - without the awkwardness and delays of conferencing in multiple people.

- To provide mentorship to junior staff.

- To collaborate more effectively.

- To show clients/prospective clients, partners and recruits, a vibrant and energetic team and working environment that is worth investing in/joining.

- To build morale and a sense of teamwork and camaraderie.

At the same time, measures need to be taken in the office working environment to ensure that individuals can be productive, which means providing quiet working spaces, enforcing do-not-disturb rules, etc.

Last point. To anyone who is running a business where your employees can easily choose to work from home for any company in the world, such as software engineers: creating a vibrant company culture is one of the ways in which you can attract and retain team members. Many people like being part of an in-person team and working with each other on a regular basis. But if they're already working from home and rarely seeing their co-workers, what difference does it make if they choose to work for some startup out of SF?
The biggest risk posed by nuclear power is that we don't build it and carbon levels rise to stratospheric heights.

I just returned from Singapore. The central business district is full of these scooters. As a Dutchman, personally, I don't see why people don't bike. Cardio & transport in one.
(This also why I don't understand the appeal of the Segway)

The issue is that these scooters should not be on pedestrian walkways / sidewalks (and they are in Singapore), because there is too much difference in speed.

Singapore recently came with strict rules about usage, so perhaps there is a middle ground:

I'll stick to my bicycle for now, though. In Holland, I like the trend of "Bike roads" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_boulevard) as the deeper issue, certainly in London, has nothing to do with electric scooters, but with a reduction in automobile traffic, and giving back space to bicycles (and electric scooters, why not).
I am a bit sceptical. What kind of quantities are they shipping? I can’t imagine it will be hundreds of thousands. Even at quantities like 50.000 it seems to me it would be very difficult to source a custom designed screen/touch at a reasonable price. At 50.000 it would probably even be difficult to find someone even considering delivering the order
I wonder how they extrapolated from a list of accidents into deaths per 1,000TWh? Do you divide the estimated world output by the number of deaths? Do you 'weight' deaths by the year in which they happened and the output at that time? There's lots of ways to mangle those figures...
As someone with a BSc. in AI from a university that's been handing them out since the 50s, I, er, disagree.

No argument there, but "no more wasteful than [very wasteful thing]" is not great :)

I'm just wondering if a better use of the street could be achieved; that doesn't have to mean cars. What about a bus + moped lane? Electric mopeds seem like a pretty good alternative for people who need something faster than a scooter, and having ridden a bicycle in Amsterdam, where mopeds could use the bicycle lane, I can tell you they don't belong there!
Even if we consider that as part of the sentence, isn't that a bit lenient given that 7 people are dead? I am just thinking what would happen to a doctor who freak out, act opposite to training, do not communicate with fellow staff members and as a result 7 patients dies. In that case I would imagine that the person would loose their job, possible their license, the hospital would be liable to the families and likely implement safeguards so that the same thing would not happen again.

It's hard to tell where the fear's coming from. It's definitely not always from the child's parents. When I was 12 or 13 I might cycle off, 10 or 20 miles, not necessarily telling anyone where I was going, and of course there were no mobile phones then. We've had to apply some mild pressure to get my similarly-aged daughter to cycle two miles to school in the company of other children. So perhaps her timidity comes from other children, who in turn get it from... television? No idea.

I suppose when a middle-class mother is having a single child at age 40 the child is harder to replace than back in the old days when she'd had three by age 25 and could easily produce another three, as required, if some of an earlier batch got squashed by a lorry. Even if people aren't consciously reasoning like that perhaps it's a factor.

Yeah. I'm perfectly fine with e.g. Twilio being able to tell Verizon "oh, we have authorization to send from $x", Verizon going "uh huh, go ahead" because they trust Twilio not to mess around. But then, if there does turn out to be an issue, Verizon is on the hook, and they'll turn around and charge that to Twilio. So, they'll be fine with letting large companies like Twilio spoof on their network, but they're not going to let RandomCo spoof.

So forcing the fine on the last step in the chain forces everyone to carefully consider who they trust, which is as it should be. Nothing wrong with trust between trusted parties, but clearly the current system has untrustworthy parties given too much power.

Seriously, _most_ of GDPR is good practice don't-screw-your-users' personal data steps. Don't store personal data for uses that isn't strictly necessary without their consent. Make sure users can find out what data you do store, and how you'll use it. Have a way they can ask you about it, or ask you to remove it.

If complying with GDPR isn't reasonably practical with your product/business model it's a _huge_ red flag imo, EU or no.
