This is precisely the kind of medieval attitude that renders our prisons overcrowded, ineffective, and often at the mercy of racist policy makers, though.

It's absolutely the case that an effective justice system needs to make bad actions much more expensive than good actions. This is there it discourage people from taking a potentially easy-for-them-but-bad-for-victims-and-society approach.

But it's also the case that there are people who simply lack the facilities or resources to recognize this situation. Or people who's situations are so dire that these deterrents don't matter. For those people, rehabilitation is the only path forward.

The more rehabilitation we can offer, the less brutal our punishments need to be. And the more opportunities we can provide people to succeed within our modern social framework, the more compelling modest punishments will be.
The amdflaws were real vulnerabilities too. The problem in both cases is that they messed up the disclosure so badly (in the case of amdflaws probably purposefully, here probably simply by mistake and maybe hubris) that you end up talking more about the disclosure than the problem itself.

This one day "teaser" makes no sense from a security perspective, especially when it fails to actually tell you the proper way to mitigate the attack (no, "do not use PGP or S/MISE" is not a reasonable mitigation for people who actually rely on these technologies, especially when you can mitigate the attack by changing your settings or using a different client). Saying that PGP and S/MIME themselves are broken when it's mainly (but not entirely) a MUA problem is also rather disingenuous.

You're talking about a logical fallacy. That doesn't carry much weight in the court of public opinion, where you're trying to actually convince someone of something. If the person doing the arguing is a complete hypocrite, it's pretty normal for others to not even bother listening to the argument. If you want to sway opinions, you need to have an advocate that people will believe.

I had recently written a Python program (called watch.py) somewhat like the GNU watch [1] command (which user kjeetgill mentioned in another comment here).

I agree with this perspective. I haven't seen anyone present a compelling case as to why a person should own all data about themselves.
It might be prudent to have GnuPG return an error exit code instead of just printing a warning on stderr. Currently, it seems that clients (at least when using the shell interface) are supposed to parse the error stream. And even when they do (which many probably don’t), it’s not necessarily obvious that the presence of warnings indicates to the client that the data should not be used.

Getting an arbitrary binary to run successfully on Linux is trivial and IMO much easier than on Windows. The problem comes in when you're trying to deploy a service that is composed of multiple sub-services e.g. an application server, a database server, a caching server, and an http server. It's simply false to suggest that coordinating the deployment of these types of systems into a production Windows environment is easier than Linux, even without containerization... with docker there is simply no comparison. There is a reason why the vast majority of production software systems run on some linux/unix variant.

The problem is the company can't judge work quality if they don't understand the domain. So, it boils down to most companies over billing and under delivering.
That's probably true for numpy 1.10-1.11, but I"ve seen other libraries make dramatic changes (for example changing the default behavior of a function)

pandas changed NaN handling for ewma pre 0.15, which can greatly change the output if your data is sparse
Cyprus, like all the Eurozone countries, traded away the currency right of issuance to the ECB in return for the stability of the Euro, in much the same way as some countries "dollarised" to get away from exchange rate fluctuations.

The Argentine and Venezuelan situations had a different cause: the economies had tried to peg to the dollar, but that requires capital controls in crisis situations to avoid capital flight.

In each case the fundamental problem is that a country can't print other countries' money; either they have to accept (a) the possibility of a bank run or (b) the possibility of a floating currency dramatically changing in purchasing power.

Bitcoin solves (a), IF AND ONLY IF people hold their own bitcoins rather than using exchanges. Bitcoin and gold advocates tend to avoid talking about problem (b) or pretend a rapid shift in purchasing power can't happen in the presence of a fixed money supply, which is contradicted by history.

The federal government used a bit of a loophole here. Instead of regulating individual states, they simply set a drinking age of 21 as a requirement, else they'll lose 10 percent of their federal highway funds.

At first I figured Instagram would just rate-limit likes/comments via the API, but these people are handing over their account & password to services like Fuelgram....

Although I don't think that's a bad idea in principle - everyone has a set amount of likes & comments they can do per day. It'd make the value of a "like" much higher (a la Tinder).

The question is also "Did they live longer?". The article gave the ages of some individual knights as being greater than the average lifespan at the time, which is not incompatible with the average knight's lifespan being the same as the average peasant.
Especially within the discourse of black folks, there is a lively debate on the extent to which Killmonger is a villain in Black Panther. My biggest criticism of the movie is that they could have written it to make it even more ambiguous, by making Killmonger less openly ruthless.

Same goes for the much maligned Marvel's Inhumans, where it's not clear exactly why the Royal Family is deserving of any sympathy.
Founder of Stream here. I recommend that you rotate your API credentials. It's easy to do that in the dashboard.
I did not said she is enthusiast. I think that many of those "enthusiast" activities are not making you better at the job if you think about it. Focused learning with goal is very often more effective then just playing with something and rest+downtime+change of activity really help with learning and effectivity on the job.

But, I think that since she is "extermly focused on job" she probably likes (or at least does not hate) the job itself - not pop version of what programer should like or random messing with gadgets, but the job itself. Many people are like that - they are able to like many different things, so they like what they are doing now.
Yeah, with DFS (daily fantasy sports) you're even limited to x number of players from a given game, so that you're not effectively betting on the outcome of that game by selecting an entire team.

I never really understood how they got around the limitation with stuff like NASCAR, where you really are essentially betting on the outcome of a single race. Maybe it's like PGA where the tournament is the culmination of a set of matches or something.

Israel is well beyond Nationalist if you ask me. But I'm trying to get some detail on this seemingly well known phenomenon of Nationalist actions being presented as patriotic.

Essentially this is an extension of DCC principals. Where the state has power to regulate, but actively chooses not so to do, another government cannot usurp.

This is SCOTUS throwing down a gauntlet. Sports gambling, virtually all of which being online, is ripe for commerce clause regulation. Congress knows how it can take the reigns if it wants to. SCOTUS is saying it isn't going to accept half-hearted attempts to regulate in this area... in full knowledge that a serious legislative effort in this area is near-impossible in the current climate. This is the supreme court asserting itself, showing that with the legislature so weakened it can exercise control over national policies. imho.
> There is no prison industrial complex in The Netherlands, as all prisons and jails are owned by the government. There is no incentive to increase the inmate population.

This is really off the mark.

Having prisons and jails owned by the government does not mean that there's no incentive to increase the inmate population - in fact, the US is proof positive of that, because, for all the press that private prisons get, the number of them is quite small, and most of the worst abuses occur in state-run prisons.

This isn't going to be a popular opinion here, but I should point out that, in general, people tend to underestimate the extent of the prison-industrial complex in Western/Central Europe, and particularly its effect on ethnic and religious minorities. It doesn't help that a lot of the countries that have problems with this also make it either difficult or illegal to access that data officially, so it's not discussed nearly enough.
Joined Amazon Dublin in the Summer of last year as SDE2 (that's the category where most engineers will fall into), so way after the NYT article.
Pay is very good for Europe - AFAIK one of the best for the position and above G/F/MS in Dublin (according to Glassdoor), though I think that at the end of the day you might take more home if you're working for G/F and living in London/Switzerland (due to lower taxes).

As for the work environment, like in all big companies, it really depends in which team and project you land. My team and adjacent teams are full of respectful people and work is pretty good. We're building some "large scale" systems, and technology wise it's pretty cool. But I've heard stories from people in other teams where they were relegated to doing oncall and fixing bugs. I also know 1 person that didn't make it through the probation period (he was in one of those oncall teams). The company is big and has a lot of different projects, so YM(will definitely)V. I've had to interact with a lot of different people across the company and my impression is overall positive.

In terms of work load, it's not light. At the same time, right now, it's not that high, but that will probably change once we're closer to the deadlines. I enjoy it, it keeps me active and not bored at work. I know people who do 8-17 (1 lunch hour) EVERY DAY. Pretty much everyone around me works 8-9 hours. The teams around me are also very flexible with remote work (a lot of us work remotely 1-2 days a week).
In term of the actual work, me and my team have had to design systems, write documents (the 6 pagers, design reviews, etc), and we're implementing them. A lot of technical freedom.
I also hear manager refer to people as resources and I dislike it - not sure why/where that terminology comes from, but I think it's something common inside and outside the company.

Yes, perks are pretty much non-existent. No snacks, no free lunch/dinner, no gym, just water, fruit, and coffee. Heck, not even free tshirts and the employee discount is ridiculous. But if that's what you're looking for in a company, then I'm sorry, you won't find it here.
Yes, you'll also get stack ranked at the beginning of the year, and getting promoted to SDE3 is not easy.

One interesting thing, at least around me, the vast majority of people seems to be 30+ old. From the teams around me, I think no one (apart from me) reads HN. People come from all around Europe (and some from Asia).
Allstate and State Farm famously skipped insurance payouts for victims of Hurricane Katrina. More recently, victims of the Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa, CA are locked in a legal battle with their property insurers. I agree with you that you _must_ have it, regardless of personal feelings or perception, but it's very far from perfect and probably very far from most measures of "good," too.

If anyone here honestly believes free food and office decor stack up as benefits right alongside retirement benefits and vesting schedules, please take a step back and evaluate your life. I'd rather live on a software developer's salary with no 401k access and a 6 year vesting cliff than live on 2/3rd the salary with immediate vesting and a generous 401k match.
I'm not pro-plastic waste (obvously), but it'd be interesting to see a pro-con analysis. What is all this plastic use getting us, how could we replace it with sth else, and what would it cost.

Also, based on the article 40% of the waste here is from discarded shipping equipment. So it seems to me this can't be that must waste actually, compared to what we produce and presumably store on/in land [presumably that's a lot more than fishing equipment]. Or I'm reading it wrong.
It's super bad for them. The vast majority of people who play the daily fantasy sports would much rather just bet on the games themselves.
Instagram is aware of this, and I’d be surprised if they found out through BuzzFeed News that this was happening.

So maybe this isn’t a bad thing for Instagram?
On the plus side, it only takes, like, 3 hours to read end-to-end.
Language is a human invention allowing humans to express ideas. But language often masks the complexity of systems. If I told you "put the jar on the counter", there is a lot embedded in that language, but also a lot is missing, and it's up to the human to make decisions based on its life experience to figure out how to interpret that command in each circumstance. If you've had any experience at all in a configuration management DSL, you know that after a while, they all just suck to use.

And it's mostly the same problem for programming. With programming we're using language to express a complex set of interactions, but we still often fail to catch important distinctions, and most of our code does not learn from its past experience. Language can express complex ideas, but only if you have a brain that can re-interpret the language continuously and act differently in each case. That is the hope of language-based configuration management, but rarely do you see a CM tool that is fed regular data solely so it can change how it makes decisions.

I think modeling languages like TOSCA are a much better design for expressing how to manage a complex system. By modeling the components and interactions, it's much easier to observe and test for various conditions in simulation. You can get incredibly detailed in modeling, and as such it's much easier to manage all the complex interactions, rather than hoping you are good enough at language to be able to express your ideas in a way that will be interpreted the right way by an otherwise rigid computer program.
So it is like React but for server management, and using it's own functional reactive language [1].

That's super cool! I definetly will keep an eye on it.

I would have preferred a more standard language, but I guess it's difficult given the problem space. Actually looks easier to understand than force feeding yaml into ansible.

Perhaps it would be better to actually have knowledge about the topics on which you're commenting?
Both is an about euqally difficult problem, but modes that require a nonce fail much more spectacularly than modes that require an IV.

Typically with a re-used IV the same plain text will lead to the same cipher text, which can be an issue.

On the other hand with a re-used nonce you can basically recover the xor of two plain texts from two cipher texts. This leads to plain text very quickly and is a much more serious issue.

Just in Time: iMac's Historically Significant Launch
I hope Fuchsia also supports Go, not as a replacement to Java, but as a first class alternative.
I think it really comes down to developer tooling. Devs, in the absence of tooling will make their own and default to the latest stuff. If the company doesn't provide a fully mirrored developer environment, then everyone is asking for trouble.

Where I work, we have a specific team dedicated to managing this tooling.

We support Python Django, Java, and Go. You can clone the base repositories which include vagrant scripts to setup everything. You develop in that and it gets sucked up into the pipeline. You want something newer? If it works locally in our environment, the SLA says it will work in production. Doesn't work locally, then tough shit.

In personal projects I do with others, I try and do the same thing. Python? 3.6 is our version target. Java is OpenJDK 1.8.0 latest. Rust & Go are compiled with the latest versions. It might not be incompetence in software engineering as a whole, but more of an issue in defining version and software targets.
Just a heads up (since I work at getstream.io) that you can easily and quickly rotate the Stream app key/secret via the dashboard.

Feel free to contact our support or myself directly - dwight@getstream.io - if you need a hand.
> it just isn't Star Trek

I felt much the same to start with, but by the end of the season I had mostly forgiven it.

At the end of it, my main annoyance is that Those. Are. Not. Klingons.

Whatever they are, they've clearly had a species-wide Groupon deal on massive dental reconstruction surgery.
Not a single one of them can speak without sounding like they're trying to talk around a half-dozen pairs of socks that've been jammed into their mouth, and then had their jaw wired shut.

I'll still not forgive JJ Abrams for his Star Trek 90210 with Super Lens Flares reboot of Trek which completely ignored all the history. Then the obnoxious jerk has the temerity to lie to us outright "No, Bennedict Cumberbatch isn't Khan, it's a surprise!" when the trailers all made that clear.

If he were deliberately trying to sink the series, he couldn't have done a better job.

JJ's Trek Hack-Job is second only to the travesty that was the 2004 I, Robot film.
got reminded of the book "Siddhartha" by hermann hesse

"After listening to the river, Siddhartha’s biggest insight is that time is an illusion and that life is not a continuum of events, but instead is omnipresent. Eternity springs from the world’s unity. Understanding the past and the future as part of the present is a major component of achieving enlightenment."
Thanks, will have a look into it.
I know that it's a natural reaction to try to think of a technical solution to a massive problem like this, but to be completely and brutally honest I think humans, as a race, are now obligated to get off our fat asses and pick up some trash. Hands and knees, trash bags, buckets, shovels. A single person can easily pick up 10kg of trash an hour. The 8 million metric tons that will likely end up in the ocean this year, if it were instead collected by people (on land, before it gets in the ocean) at 10kg/hr, 2000hrs/yr, that's 400,000 people. That's really not many when spread across dozens of countries. Also, it's way easier and cheaper to just put garbage in the garbage bin. So in reality it could be far less than this number that are all that is needed to keep the planet free of trash.

Also, robots. But mostly we just need to get off our asses and pick up some trash!
