California Penal Code Section 835a provides specific authorization for force and protections from liability for circumstances which exceed the normal bounds of self-defense in peace officer arrests, and Section 834a creates a legal duty of the person being arrested by a peace officer not to resist.

There is a similar but not identical protection to 835a for non-peace officer public employee arrests in Section 836.5(a)

Neither protection applied to peace officer arrests has a parallel protection for citizens arrests.

What we used to do completely sucked. I did field repair work back in the days before smartphones and cheap GPS navigation. Even with a good map and directions written down before leaving I would frequently miss turns due to poor street signs. Or have to drive super slow to read house numbers and business names. I'm shocked anyone would even consider going back to what we used to do.
Is the new Twitter DM REST API limited to a maximum of 50 users app-wide?
If you're Zuck or anyone working for FB, that'd be true. But what if one of my interests in running my company is the protection of my users' data?
It is just not a good idea to authenticate yourself as a Googler in these sorts of discussions. If there is doubt in the media about a tech from Google, Google's PR department is more than capable to handle that in due time.

I think part of this guideline applies, and following it should avoid disclosure, embarrassment, or being forced to speak on the defensive of an entire company (not a job that most developers are automatically good at).

> You probably know that our policy is to be extremely careful about disclosing confidential proprietary information. Consistent with that, you should also ensure your outside communications (including online and social media posts) do not disclose confidential proprietary information or represent (or otherwise give the impression) that you are speaking on behalf of Google unless you’re authorized to do so by the company. The same applies to communications with the press. Finally, check with your manager and Corporate Communications before accepting any public speaking engagement on behalf of the company. In general, before making any external communication or disclosure, you should consult our Employee Communications Policy and our Communications and Disclosure Policy.

While a compiler may block you from writing faulty code, the media will just take your faults, and then present them as truths coming from upper management.
Back in 2000, there was an IETF Internet-Draft entitled DNS Top Level Domain For Private Networks[0] that recommended using .pri:

"A reserved top level domain name, '.pri', would allow a private domain name to be chosen safely with no risk of conflict with current or future registered domain names. A private DNS server is configured as authoritative for the '.pri' domain, and delegates the private subdomains as appropriate."

It sadly was never picked up[1].

Over the years, Microsoft has recommended and in some instances even forced[2] the use of .local, which they now advise against[3].

Ya. BOUGHT. I guarantee the people selling them to you have different stories. The retailers that do take bitcoins knowingly do so for other reasons. The are trying to be cool and, perhaps, have a jump on the competition if things change. I'd bet they operate the bitcoin division at a loss.
Some of us have even fewer. I have 24 teeth (instead of 32).
That quote is a little misleading. Genetic evidence suggests that cheetahs went through two severe population bottlenecks around 100kya and 12kya, which is likely responsible for much of the low genetic diversity seen in the species today. Their threatened status is not the cause.
Making work fun is nice, but what really improved my effectiveness was cultivating the ability to do work that wasn't fun, but valuable. I think it depends on your strategy. I will always be able to accomplish what I need to now, but since I'm not passionate, I probably will never be brilliant.
From TFA:

"...the new vulnerability (CVE-2018-11101) exists in a different function that handles the validation of quoted messages, i.e., quoting a previous message in a reply.

"In other words, to exploit the newly patched bug on vulnerable versions of Signal desktop app, all an attacker needs to do is send a malicious HTML/javascript code as a message to the victim, and then quote/reply to that same message with any random text.

"If the victim receives this quoted message containing the malicious payload on its vulnerable Signal desktop app, it will automatically execute the payload, without requiring any user interaction."

Is it the case that you don't even need to have the attacker's number in your contacts list?
This is an outsider's perspective (I'm Australian) but it seems as though more and more is being done through Executive Orders - the Korean War, the EPA, Obamacare - instead of through proper channels.

As far as I can tell, this is because Constitutional amendments are hard to enact (in the case of the EPA and Obamacare) and for reasons I don't understand, Congress doesn't seem to want to declare war any more.

Is that a fair assessment, or am I getting only part of the picture?
Learning an HDL isn't that hard. But it's a very small part of the overall flow for real development, and arguably it's one of the easier parts anyway... That's sort of the "problem", more or less.

Even very well-oiled products like the Amazon F1 and Intel's new acceleration cards are pretty non-trivial to use unless you're an experienced engineer, and they clearly spent a lot of time polishing off the roughest edges to make it as approachable as possible. Amazon more or less paid a team of seriously experienced people to make the whole flow as painless as possible (including a pretty good software SDK, and a lot of tooling around Vivado), and it's still non-trivial!

Some of the ARM/FPGA combos are a lot more approachable overall, but the tooling, BSPs etc are normally huge pains the moment you want to get creative, and the SDKs are comparatively worse, vs the "high end" ones listed above, in my opinion. Normally I just end up replacing them with my own Linux BSP, more or less, if I need the actual host side.

A really annoying aspect of all this though is that most kits which could offer features like high-speed peripherials (PCIe, etc) are pretty expensive for hobbyist developers to acquire and use, so there's certainly a bit of a self-fulfilling-prophecy going on here.
Well even if they are, I consider it more than ethical to use sci-hub
Do you take other words that literally too? Maybe they should have named waterfall "oioioihopjl" to avoid conflicts with other definitions?
Backups have an expiration. That should be enough to satisfy the requirement for deletion.
These with kuberneres is a powerful combo. If you're running some latency insensitive background processing you could spin up a cluster with three of these, and kubernetes would handle all the self healing and recheduling that happens when one goes down.

As it's cheaper you could buy more compute power as well.
It looks like everything is a fork except for two repos:

buildroot - a Github commit of the buildroot.org project

linux - a manual clone of the linux git repo

There are probably some Tesla made commits somewhere in here, but they really should just opened pulls against the original projects.
Well usually they aren't any kind of social or economic hubs, so I don't really worry if I can't enter or do business with north korea in my day to day life.

The EU on the other hand...

Also almost all laws stay in one jurisdiction, they don't go beyond their own country.
I couldn’t imagine releasing a forum for the hn community that wasn’t also a neat software project. Using phpbb seems like the antithesis of something this community would appreciate, other than perhaps for the practicality of choosing something common.
Oh, but they're completely "independent", I don't understand what's the problem, Mr regulator ;-) This already exists in many ways for financial aspects. Sure, it's not super legal/moral, but...

You're right. But it's a fact.

Do you know what works for a significant number of them? Antisemitism. Homophobia. Ingrained misogyny. Hate towards atheists.
Its a hypothetical that I have experienced on several projects now, project managers can have a totally warped understanding of agile in that they think they can change course at any point and it won't have any resulting costs in either time or complexity.
Nice, I like the watch parameter where you can set the poll time. Do you have any support for websockets? If not, do you plan on implementing websocket support for exchanges?

That's already been ruled out by the SCOTUS. "Eleanor Roosevelt, Chairman of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights when the Declaration was drafted, spoke for the United States and stated that the Declaration "was not a treaty or international agreement and did not impose legal obligations; it was rather a statement of principles."
I agree. If I see someone quoting without saying where the quote is from, I assume its from the article by default.

Put up or shutup.
I'd also like to find a solution for this.

Part of me wants to say that the solution is to just accept that it's not secure and the warning is valid, and services only available behind my firewall don't need to be accessed over https. but that doesn't help when browser vendors are also making new features only available on secure origins. How are you supposed to build a serviceworker to run on your local server when serviceworker only runs on secure origins and there's no way to secure a local origin?
"The fact that a small amount of psychoactive substance could fundamentally alter my perceived reality put the final nail in the coffin for any possibility that my mind was generated by something outside my own skull."

Wow awesome insight! Thanks for sharing your experience, this blows my mind. I might be able to try it now without fear of other worldly entity bad trip encounters.

While experiencing a trip, are you able to recall that you took a substance and that this is your altered reality? Can you close your eyes and see darkness? Can you take a benzo to abort trip like shrooms?

You do know of RFC 7217 address assignment resulting in stable addresses as long as you don't move into another network? It's even the default on some Linux distributions.

If you want predicatable addressing, you can always forego privacy extensions and use EUI64-style interface identifiers.
GDPR does not require deleting data from backups.

http://blog.quantum.com/backup-administrators-the-1-advice-t...

"The GDPR is open to interpretation, so we asked an EU Member State supervisory authority (CNIL in France) for clarification. CNIL confirmed that you’ll have one month to answer to a removal request, and that you don’t need to delete a backup set in order to remove an individual from it. Organizations will have to clearly explain to the data subject (using clear and plain language) that his or her personal data has been removed from production systems, but a backup copy may remain, but will expire after a certain amount of time (indicate the retention time in your communication with the data subject). Backups should only be used for restoring a technical environment, and data subject personal data should not be processed again after restore (and deleted again)."
Well, I just signed up. Not sure if I'll be active here, but I always like to support forums over social media sites and other corporate silos.

That said, if I can give you a bit of advice:

Change that captcha on the registration page. It's really annoying to decipher, and likely doesn't do all that much to stop bots.

Instead, get a few questions and answers set up, and make them forum specific. Like, what startup aggregator is Hacker News associated with? What's FANG mean? What language are the frameworks React, Vue and Angular written in?

In other words, stuff a dedicated community member would know/could easily look up, but which a bot might not want to bother with.

That's much better to stop spam, and less annoying than figuring out what letters and numbers are in a captcha.

Still, hope the forum works out well!

It wasn't a whole lot of fun trying to connect code designed to operate at L2 (ZeroTier) with the L3 tun adapter they give you in iOS and Android. Fortunately that code doesn't have to be touched too often though :)
That would be a really weird reason. The natural bacteria has the exact same problem. The engineered one is uncertain to have the problem. Why would you opt for the one that definitely carries the risk and ALSO causes expensive tooth decay?
I also have a recurring nightmare of all my teeth rotting and falling out.
I definitely do not assume that I'm the first to find this, only the first to actually get it taken down. Worse, as the try site's been up since at least Jan 2017, that's nearly 18 months of exposure.

We won't know what the real exposure level was unless someone asks LocationSmart very persuasively.
I think it's clear that 1 person is not a large scale op. I do agree it should be defined in at least somewhat precise terms though.
That's interesting but I thought the Donatist decision only applied to people who wanted to be part of the Roman Catholic church but their baptising priest had at some point lapsed. Generally Protestants don't recognize the authority of the church at all (i.e. Sola scriptura).
And if no one of your customers is using your service to process data from EU users.
agile is a culture as much as it is a project management methodology, so it only works when the culture is compatible.

one former employer purportedly did agile but it was a top-down autocracy, which is completely incompatible with agile. (i was ostensibly a product owner, but the CEO set our development priorities with only superficial consideration for customer feedback.)

you cannot both dictate and empower at the same time, and empowerment (via agile) is typically the loser in that fight.

that's how i see agile "failing" most often, before it even has a chance.
I applied for an internship at Coinbase a full six months ago, and just received my rejection letter last week. Truly admirable!
This comment is ridiculous and not based in fact.
I mean, technically I'm taking a risk when I step out of my house every day. So why ever walk?

There are varying degrees to which people see laws as affecting them. Small business tech owners, when a law says they have work to do, are going to feel affected. If there was a securities or accounting law that felt similarly overreaching one could expect a similar reaction. This is especially true if there is an alternative (locking out markets) that is easier. It's not helpful to try and compare the situations. It's also not fair to consider people weighing the costs of these laws as doomsayers. They aren't closing down their business, they're just restricting it to more business-friendly environments in their view.
> After the first few minutes both VR and non-VR games are the same once you're fluent with the controls.

This couldn't be farther from the truth.

Take a game as simple as Zombie Training Simulator. Holding your hands up and firing virtual guns is a completely different experience than pointing a mouse and clicking. Physically bending over to pick up a grenade, then throwing it, is far more immersive than pressing the number 5 and holding a mouse button down to prime it, then releasing it to throw.

Then there's Ultrawings. Having head tracking, being able to look around by just pivoting your head, makes the flying experience feel so much better, even if the graphics are dated by 10 years in terms of texture and model detail.

When I got my Vive and was playing around in The Lab, and one of the experiences puts you on the side of a mountain, I stepped off a cliff edge and I could feel my heart rate increase slightly as my brain was expecting me to fall to my death. The immersion is real.

And I have plenty of gaming experience. I've been gaming since I got an NES for Christmas when I was 5 in 1987.
Probably, yes, although as I said it would probably never be enforced. To be clear, your landlord is not the one breaking the law. Anyone taking them up on the offer would be though.

IANAL, but I was a licensed real estate agent in NYS about 15 years ago, and this was covered in the course materials.
You have one heck of smart mom.
> Antisemitism

I don't think that Muslimphobia is an appropriate response to Antisemitism.

Look: the Nazis were primarily Christian. We recognized the political movement of the Nazis as independent of their religion.

People today still don't realize that the Ba'athists of Iraq (who eventually joined with ISIS) were SECULAR. Hint: Religion is at best, a minor component to the violent middle-eastern philosophy. The Middle East is far more complicated than a group of religions.

There is a concept, and this concept goes BEYOND religious grounds (as it is taking hold in the Ba'athist reminants of Northern Iraq). Middle Easterners long for the re-establishment of their lost Empires from the middle ages. They dream of a reunified Arab State. (Or at least, that's the shared dream of the violent ISIS members in general)

And yes. Ba'athists believe it should be secular and pan-religious. They're also authoritarian and incredibly violent. But its important to keep these political groups in mind. But yes, even the secular groups dream of re-establishing their former empire. And yes, Wahhabists believe it should be a religious theocracy. But there's a lot of subgroups to this political movement.

Don't mistake the political situation with the religious undertones. Besides, a Muslim from Nigeria typically doesn't give a rats ass about this "pan-Arabic" stuff. So the religious stuff is purely a distraction.
This is precisely what I meant. Good luck searching for tech jobs in Portland or even in Seattle outside of Amazon/MS
What's the flaw?
You can dodge the new Bloomberg paywall with an incognito tab, for now. I assume they might change that later, however for now it always works. I believe they give you ten free articles (per month?).
> But yeah, neither of those are Christian. Both are IIRC Polythistic religions, about as different from Christianity as possible.

Many Hindus believe that the numerous deities are different forms or aspects of one ultimate deity. As such, they are much closer to monotheism than you think. It can be described as "inclusive monotheism", as opposed to the "exclusive monotheism" of the Abrahamic religions.

Sikhism is not polytheistic at all, it is very monotheistic.

Christianity itself has been accused of polytheism. Many Jews, Muslims, and non-Trinitarian Christians argue that there is no real difference between Trinity and tritheism. Many Protestants accuse the Catholic and Orthodox cult of Mary and the Saints of bordering on polytheism. Mormonism (admittedly on the fringe of Christianity) sees the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as three separate "beings", although it redefines the word "God" to refer to those three beings collectively. Mormon theology also implies that God the Father has a wife (the Heavenly Mother), and of other gods ruling over other universes (or parts of the universe.)
Having a hard time understanding the concept of solipsism, can you give an example of it? Thanks.
Hey Justin,

Thanks for the article. I'm a co-founder in San Diego. We're being asked for traction, when we have a team and a pretty good prototype out with beta users.

My question - it seems like we should be targeting pre-seed money, as the seed guys seem to be acting like VCs for an A round. Is that normal for Silicon Valley, or that specific to San Diego?

Thanks in advance.
In other words, waterfall didn't go far enough. Instead of discarding it, we should have continued to improve it.
Maybe companies that are so flimsy didn't have long left anyway.

You're required to have a fire safety officer at these companies too, but it's not a full-time position.

Facebook: Announcing New Election Partnership with the Atlantic Council
You know, this has always bothered me to a certain extent. We have self-signed certificates, and we have CA certificates, but couldn't we have an in-between option? Say, a self-signed certificate which suggests to the browser that it could be installed locally.

The browser could still displays a warning once, "Warning! We can't determine whether we should trust this site. It claims to be [Such and such local service.] Would you like to trust this site? [Yes, temporarily], [Yes, permanantly (installs local certificate)], [No, get me out of here!]

Firefox already does something like this, but its wording is kind of vague, and the strong assumption from browser vendors seems to be CA or bust. The truth is, encryption is useful in some very common cases where a CA or a domain name is simply not feasible, and we need workarounds for those use cases that don't feel like a dirty hack for techies only.
So it's a law that's arbitrarily enforced?
Kinda like giving limitless power to discriminate to someone?

There is no misconception on GDPR: the idea is good, the implementation is horrible and retarded and it is lead by people who do not understand a single thing about technology.
A doctor was how I found out about these things. They don't know why. Anyways, nothing is particularly concerning me, I'm just curious.
The key is, if the 'product owner' is not the end user, they are not the customer. They are often beholden to the more senior management and are more focussed on making their bosses happy with progress reports and demonstating how well they are performing. All this, while playing a theatre of customer centric focus and high velocity.
Being an ex-Coinbase engineer doesn't make that "no".

As ex-Coinbase engineer could still lack imagination and foresight, being hired at Coinbase says nothing about possessing these. (not saying OP does lack these, but original post is pretty poor for an "authority" on the subject).

But agreed on lazy dismissal and I'll throw in assumption.
