In most states, citizens arrest is allowed, but in much more limited circumstances, much stricter limits on use of force to effect an arrest, and with much more civil and criminal liability risk then arrest by police.

A fairly typical rule is that citizens arrest is only for felonies that occur either in your presence or with a certain degree of justified belief but also that the arrested person must be factually guilty of the felony. (Some states also allow it for some misdemeanors, but are even more restrictive there.)
I’ve been spending a lot of time on this and really found the book Traction useful. Thesis is that every role has to have some clearly defined objective measurables that can indicate to the employee and manager success. I have not been able to apply it to our developers and engineers but it has been extremely effective in sales (sales development, management and sales ops).

I know within two weeks if a candidate is on track, above or below and can predict growth quite easily and can immediately rehabilitate the situation.

A young women going into the Air Force in a support role is highly unlikely to ever be near the front lines; that is the bailiwick of the Army and Marines. She wants to go into a PR role, so the chances of this are slim.

I grew up a military brat, did almost 10 years myself in the Corps. I was in during DS1 and almost no one I know from that "war" has PTSD. I personally know several Marines who sent dozens of people to their graves and they are are normal as anyone else. PTSD depends on the mental strength of the individual. My own grandfather (WWII in Asia) did a 20+ year career, and my dad (grunt in Vietnam) who also did a 20+ year career didn't suffer from PTSD. My dad was a machine gunner in Vietnam. He was involved in horrible circumstances. His unit was once embattled around a US airfield in a protection role against sappers, and every man on patrol was wounded as well as covered in leeches from fighting in the nasty water. He went on dozens of missions and did and saw all manner of stuff. My dad was well adjusted, went on to earn a master's degree in engineering, and was an all around swell guy.

Our prison system in America is so much worse than mugshots. We have a system where you can buy your way out of jail until your hearing (i.e. parole). But, it's not available to poor people. Guess who have worse outcomes. It's so bad that many poor people spend more time in jail waiting for their hearing than they would have spend in prison if they had just plead guilty right away. Guess who tends to plead guilty to crimes they didn't commit because it's the only way they can get out of jail.

I guess my point is you don't get things like Mugshots.com because you run a fair and equitable justice system. You get Mugshots.com because some people want to get in on our prison system racket but they don't have enough money to bribe a politician.
I find this very hard to understand - doesn't freedom of the press ensure that I can post whatever media (in the public domain) that I like? If I were posting public domain photos of a city park, and running a market wherein people were able to pay to have them removed, is that the same thing?

If not, this seems like an implicit assumption that a mugshot is a form of punishment / humiliation. And if that's so, isn't that the injustice here?
It’s so silly, too. I played around with a Dropcam (I think that’s Nest now), and the fact that it uploads all the video data from my LAN over the internet to their server, only to immediately download it back to my same LAN for viewing is beyond ridiculous. It is a device that should work entirely unplugged from the internet, but here we are...

I get that the internet is used for controlling the device remotely, but those of us that don’t need that feature still have to pay the price of bandwidth waste and round trip latency. Mind bogglingly bad design.
The status quo isn't working for theaters. Last year a 6% drop in admissions and worst summer in 20+ years. Theaters need something to drive demand, especially for off-peak times and non-blockbuster movies where they keep a higher percentage of the ticket price (and all the concession profit). If MoviePass continues to grow subscribers, it will be the biggest driver of demand, and will be able to negotiate discounts from theaters, greatly reducing its average per-ticket cost.

This is the kicker. Getting your foot in the door is much, much easier with a degree. But, it doesn't mean it's the only way.

I got my first programming gig, sans degree, with my portfolio. My boss commented that my website, and descriptions of my projects, is what got me the interview.

Coming from graphic design, a portfolio is par for the course. But, I think some programmers will overlook the need for one. And no, I don't think Github projects serve as the same thing. A supplement? Yes. But, a proper site for your work can do wonders.

I've still been on team BeyondCorp there - every host should either be configured correctly or have a local firewall, to the point where a public IP is safe, because an unauthenticated Elasticsearch on a VPN is still exposed to CSRF attacks against someone on the VPN, malware, etc. But I can buy that not giving them public IPs is an important defense-in-depth mechanism.

Despite the existence of Spotify, Pandora, Google Music, etc. There is a huge group of people (among the largest on youtube) that listen to music using youtube playlists.

This was definitely true when I was in college a few years ago. I think the main reason is that (partly thanks to copyright violations) YouTube a very reliable source for finding any song you're looking for, from ultra-popular to my-buddy-made-a-track-on-ableton-once. New singles will always hit youtube, but won't always hit every streaming service, but this has gotten better in recent years.

IMO, record studios aren't satisfied with the (relatively tiny) revenue from X million views on their youtube videos, it started out as a marketing channel for them, but now they believe the play-on-demand nature is cutting into their earning (it is). From YouTube's end this is a move to appease record studios concerned and simultaneously extract more money from an existing user base.

I'd be surprised. I'm sure that, as always, budgets and class sizes are concerns as well. There are also other ethical concerns to be considered (e.g. lots of students implies lots of animal cadavers implies...?).

Limiting class sizes to keep wages inflated sounds a little conspiratorial to me, but I won't deny that it could be a factor.

The more I think about this the more I'm actually on board with it. Users can't assume that a site is safe anymore because of a green padlock because HTTPS is so easy/cheap to implement, and this is a step toward re-training users to use a different means to confirm they are entering information into a correct page. There's too much risk for the green padlock to be used as a false sense of security.

Combine this with marking HTTP sites as explicitly insecure and I fail to see any downsides with this becoming the new norm (assuming other browsers follow suit).

Very unlikely. As soon as a mug shot is entered into the system, it's a public document and available to any citizen. You can walk into your local police station and request to see all of the mug shots taken that day. It's your right as an American citizen. It's how small newspapers put together their "police blotter" section.

Journalism schools used to send their students out to dig up all the information they could about a person, as part of a larger project for credit. Sometimes it was a professor of their choice, or the class professor, or some random mope out of the phone book.

The police station was usually the third stop, after the city clerk's office (business and zoning records) and the county clerk's office (property ownership records).
Well I am extrapolating based on the way the argument was presented, yes. I don't disagree with the essence of what jacquesm said. I think that's what's not clear. I am quibbling with the idea that we should call the republican platform reprehensible in an academic discussion about single issue voting in the US. Why? Because reprehensible carries an implication of blame and it has clearly distracted from the argument and caused at least me to extrapolate from jacquesm's comment in a way that may not have been intended.

I understand that some people will choose to minimize negatives while some will choose to advocate for positives when stepping up to the poll. We all agree on this idea and this has nothing to do with whether one person diesagrees with or isn't fully aligned with a platform. (This is where I'm losing your argument which seems to be harping on this idea.)

My meta commentary is that viewing the other side's policies (_some_) as reprehensible distracts from the politics and pushes people towards the minimizing negatives game because it inflates the impact of negatives because of the association of blame that comes with a term like reprehensible. "If you are republican and vote for their reprehensible platform then you are to blame." Now it's not just about disagreement, it's about social justice. And for that reason I prefer, of late, when people focus on advocating for positive change rather than voting against negative change. That is where the semantics do come in.

A response to this point would involve asserting that their policies are indeed reprehensible and we should treat the entire platform in such a way.
Hi HN, I've been lurking for over a year, and finally registered for an account for this shameless plug/request for feedback. I'm excited to be a part of this great community.

I run a small animated video studio and was tired of my project collaboration living across several Google Docs, PDFs and 50+ scattered emails... so I built Clientroute.

It's a client management app aimed at creative freelancers and agencies and allows their clients to follow easy step-by-step directives as a project progresses.

The back-end is completely powered by a Trello account and the app grabs everything it needs from explicitly marked cards. As a client marks to-do items, leaves comments and uploads files, they'll all appear right in your Trello boards.

Are there any freelancer/contractors/consultants out there that could provide any input?

Thanks for checking it out!
> much stricter limits on use of force to effect an arrest

I have never heard of this. Can you show me such a law? Excessive force is illegal no matter whom is effecting the arrest.

CadQuery is usually used within FreeCAD. Most of what you describe is there because the part just shows up in the CAD workspace like any other part.

The only difference is that you make changes by changing code instead of doing it graphically. In a perfect world, you'd be able to do it either way; but current technology doesn't know how to relate final characteristics back to the line(s) of code that set them.

As parts and their relationship to the whole become more intricate, the programming approach makes more sense.
IANAL but as I understand it, the circumstances under which a 'private citizen' is permitted to arrest people are more restrictive than the circumstances under which a police officer is allowed to arrest people. Namely that a 'private citizen' is only allowed to arrest people for crimes that are committed in the presence of the person performing the arrest, whereas police are allowed to arrest people for crimes that were not committed in their presence.

(Police officers are (almost?) always citizens, despite that term sometimes being used in a way that excludes police)

> debt-ridden, unfulfilled scientists relegated to the above

As though other careers are not debt-ridden, and are more fulfilling?

If you're getting "a job," you're already kind of screwed. If you're an entrepreneur, or happen to get extremely lucky to love what you're doing, or unless you've gone Amish, we all live with tons of debt and aren't very fulfilled by modern life. Am I wrong?
Wow, did not know about this. TIL!
ECE/CS minor is pretty much perfect for a super low level role. I was straight CS and I kinda wish I had more formal training in some of the electrical stuff. If you like it, try to get comfortable in VHDL or Verilog FPGA stuff. That opens a lot of doors as well. Being able to do everything from board design through drivers will make you popular with smaller companies and startups that need that capability.

As far as employment, there's a lot of stuff going on. Traditionally aerospace (where you'll see the super hard-real-time mission critical stuff) is a PITA because they know the work is desirable and can therefore pay peanuts for people to do it. That's changing though so keep your eyes open. Also, don't do anything that could jeopardize your ability to get and retain a security clearance if you're US based. You'll need one for a lot of those kinds of projects (though not all).

Finally, get used to process. If you do critical work, the more critical, the more process you have to follow. Lots of code reviews, heavy handed version control rules, design and deployment paperwork, etc. It's not bad but it seems to be a shock to everyone.

I had a similar experience with my first interviews in a very long time. I had two phone screens and a long in-person interview. And nothing ever again after that. It left me with a very sour taste. I was told I was one of two candidates and I would be notified by the end of the week either way. Literally the one thing I asked from them was to hear back either way. I won’t work with either the recruiter or that company again.

> It is sometimes, but there are plenty of jobs that require highschool level skills but will filter out those who don't have a degree just because they can.

There's also "the minimum viable candidate" vs. "cheap value-add".

E.g., an admin asst that does the job as described vs. the admin asst that occasionally helps with spreadsheets, does some basic graphic design work, and proof-reads both user-facing and technical documentation.

Does an admin asst need a college degree? No. But I'll take the admin asst with some art, accounting, and writing skills ANY day. Those skills completely re-define the role and add tons of value at very low cost.

I've seen the same in tech roles. Given two candidates who are both obviously capable of doing the primary duties of the job, the one with a deeper background (either from college or self-taught) is obviously preferable because versatility outside of the designated role is always a nice value-add.
That feels so wrong. I don't know much but probability of extreme event is a field of study already. Instead of waiting for more accident why he can't use those models?
