I get that you're probably a nice person and being nice to cops is generally a good idea. If you don't start off confrontational, things will go better. But I think you're severely misunderstanding the fundamental underlying principle that is wrong with these stops, and why people intentionally choose to not comply with them: People have the right to travel freely around without going through "papers, please" type checkpoints. Unless your behavior meets the legal requirements for a "terry stop" (google it), you should not encounter arbitrarily placed law enforcement checkpoints on public roads. The people who are fighting for this are standing up for the constitution and bill of rights.

These checkpoints are directly in violation of the supreme Court case Delaware v. Prouse.

I agree - Gambling is rolling the dice to make back more money than you put in. Loot box is rolling the dice to get digital items you want with no expectation to profit. There is a difference.

I know this is NH, so skills are viewed as technical with all other skills regarded as "unnecessary fluff", but at the end of the day business is built on human relationships, so I'd argue the ability to make and maintain relationships with the right people is one of the most important skills one could have.

No, really, it is the advertisers who ruined the experience in the first place. And almost every site tries to make you agree to data collection without giving you another option, or hiding the other option under several menus. That's why I closed the TC page.
> You have now created a definition where buying a ticket to a movie that you may or may not enjoy is a form of gambling.

The appropriate comparison would be buying a ticket to sit down and watch a movie, you don't get to choose the movie though, you have a chance to see the movie you want but there are maybe 9 other movies that you don't want to watch. Maybe the movie you want to watch is super popular and you've seen the other 9 movies several times already.

Probably the most basic comparison minus an analogy for all the addictive flashing lights and all that associated with gambling (incl. loot boxes)

> what's gravity got to do with it?

Gravity got the following to do with it: Lower gravity makes it easier for the atmosphere to escape to space, especially since Mars has a very weak magnetosphere. Second, to have a human-breathable atmosphere you need not only the right composition, but also the right pressure, and to get that pressure on Mars you'd require an atmosphere more than 2,5 times the mass of Earth's. Where are you going to get it from? Even if it was available to you, using it to make Mars globally breathable would be an ENORMOUS waste compared to simply pressurizing domes and bunkers instead.

I have multiple friends that are part time patent examiners and hold full time jobs otherwise. They are experts in their fields that get tapped to review patents. Usually they get the job because they have filed a bunch of patents.

Edit: For the record, I don't think any of my friends are corrupt. In fact, they're the most ethical people I know and take the job very seriously.

I'm just saying it could happen if the examiner were already inclined to corruption.
Although there are Ethernet transceivers on the AWS FPGAs (these are Xilinx UltraScale+ VU9P FPGAs) they are unused and not connected directly to the AWS network. Instead the FPGAs are connected over PCIe to a host server, which has a standard NIC. This required us to use DPDK to bypass the kernel and pass raw network traffic directly to/from the FPGA over PCIe.

We have been told by cloud providers that the FPGA cannot be directly connected due to network security concerns. Since there is no easy way to control how the arbitrary hardware programmed by users on the FPGA will interact with their network. Microsoft has been using FPGAs directly connected to their network (called a bump-in-the-wire architecture) for the FPGAs used in their datacenter (see Project Catapult for details). But these FPGAs are not programmable by Azure users yet.
> People who are bad at statistics.

Heh! sadly very true.

Many of those who do care about the p95s of an internal service often do it with a sense of chivalry that they have that 5% of the users back. The end user latency percentiles would be quite different from the service side latency, more so if its composed by a "Last_of" or a Max operator.

At times I feel tempted to write a library that offers primitives to glue microservice calls such as fan_out, retry, timeout etc but one that can reason about the percentiles of the output from the percentiles of the input.

BTW are statistical properties of latencies covered in distributed system courses ? I thought they were mostly about different kinds of guarantees, such as consensus, atleast-once, atmost-once etc etc.

You do not seem to understand that GDPR also only applies to businesses operating within the EU. It is just that a company is interpreted (under certain circumstances) as operating within the EU if they handle personal data of individuals located inside the EU. This has been the case for national regulation as well, so there really isn't much of a change except unification of the rules and enforcement thereof.

> It's not about whether data abuse is okay or not, but rather it's about the consequences of taking such a heavy-handed approach as GDPR did.

It absolutely starts from "whether data abuse is okay or not". If data abuse is unacceptable, then the question is "what is the law currently doing to address that?" The industry had ample opportunity to self-regulate, but all we've received in breach after breach is long-delayed shallow apologies. The running joke is that Zuckerberg and FB have been on a 15-year "apology tour", giving hollow apologies for seemingly grave transgressions that other people warned about [1].

And given how tech unicorns like Uber treats fines [2], a heavy-handed approach seems to be the only way to actually curb the behavior in questions.

[1] EFF in 2009 warned that companies could take advantage of the leaky Facebook API, predicting the Cambridge Analytica situation 4 years in advance.

[2] In multiple jurisdictions that do not allow ride sharing, Uber has told drivers that they would pay the fines that drivers incur.

For one, loot boxes are instant gratification. Cards and arcade machine rewards required going somewhere and physically buying something. A loot boxes is more like sitting in front of a slot machine and thinking, "oh just one more roll, I was so close this time!". Loot boxes also tend to really push you towards expensive options. 10 boxes for $9.99, 25 for $19.99, 125 for $99.99 (best value!!). Magic The Gathering cards are not cheap either but they also don't try to push you into buying a whole booster box as an impulse purchase.

The problem is that they're not faking a smile to make themselves feel better, they're being forced into faking a smile in an idiotic attempt to further line the pockets of their employers.

Also I think that faking a smile thing only works every now and then, not 1000x a day, every time another consumer wanders into your store.

If they really want to make them smile, employers should try making the conditions so good that the workers actually want to smile. Actually, no, god forbid! That might cost more...

Also, as a consumer, I really hate the fake smile, "how's your day?" kind of garbage. I just want to buy my items in peace, and if I need help, I'll ask for it thank you very much. As an introvert it really deters me from going into your stores.
This is bull. I use both and the difference I see is:

- Swarm does not have namespaces, a swarm cannot be divided into multiple independent ones.

- Swarm CE does not have per-operator Auth

And

- k8s has more moving parts

- has more complicated config files

To me swarm is to k8s like nginx is to apache.
The former is lean and easy to setup, the latter has all the bells and whistles for enterprisey, service provider scenarios.
No, that would not be the appropriate comparison at all.

That is the comparison that is more similar to loot boxes, but not to the definition you have decided upon.

Loot boxes give you variable entertainment, but for that to be gambling you have now defined entertainment value as the element of prize. Gambling requires chance, prize and consideration.

https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=e7b39fc2-501e...

At the point where entertainment value is the prize, you have now created a definition of gambling that includes both your example of a random movie, and my example of any movie.

The thing I hate about all of these lootboxes as gambling arguments is that they have no appreciation for what gambling actually is. Instead gambling is now just whatever you feel like is gambling in your gut, not an actual real legal and enforceable definition.

You want to regulate lootboxes, fine, but trying to draw an equivalency to real gambling and lootboxes is just not possible without classifying almost every transaction as gambling.

But honestly, if you want to regulate loot boxes we should probably start by regulating video game addiction because it is a much larger problem that effects a much larger audience.

All of these deeply concerned people who want to regulate loot boxes somehow don't seem to overlap with the group of people who want to regulate video game addiction though. Because the deeper truth is that people want to wield the tools of government like a cudgel to force video game developers to make the kind of games they want.

This whole thing is just a fig leaf similar to how child porn is used to censor the internet and enforce copyright.

These guys thoughts resonate 100% with me. I did the same things (including his previous blog posts that he links) over the past 6-12months and I am very happy with it.

It is difficult at first to break hard-wired patterns, but after you do it you feel more alive and in control.

Actually, the correct analogy here is an electrical engineer who knows the the General Electric Foobar technology and can use its console to design and build an electrical system, while another engineer knows the Alacatel FizzBuzz technology and believes its superior because it can build larger systems. Neither truly understands how resistance or current actually works, because they're all abstracted away under system specific terminologies.
But it takes a billion years or so for the atmosphere to erode away. That's plenty of time to get some ROI out of terraforming Mars.
If it's any consolation, I once was told that I needed to complete a project in 4 months, by myself, when the customer had been promised a team of 6 working for 1 year. I'm sure many engineers have been pressured into attempting similar things, their jobs on the line.
Ask HN: Who's angel investing?
I know this is not how it works, but the current status quo to find angel investors is broken.

Something someone said in the YC Startup Investor School [0] stuck with me (I'm paraphrasing): "If you're an angel investor and meeting founders, think of it as a job interview for the position of the investor. You're the interviewee.

The status quo to find angel investors is over networking. However, I think this is a huge market inefficiency. Continuing the analogy from before, something like Triple Byte for angel investors should exist. Wouldn't it make sense for angel investors to pay $100 or so a month to get super high-quality deals?

Wouldn't it make sense for founders to fill out a YC-style application on that platform and get matched with angel investors? (As a founder I can answer my own question, which is, yes, it would).

Do you know of any such platform out there that's not scam?

As a quicker solution, maybe something analogous to "Ask HN: Who's hiring" might also work?

Happy to hear your thoughts...

Kind of a circle jerk of poor summaries of the conservative positions on welfare.

Generally the conservative argument is that welfare money should be earned in some way, essentially by doing socially constructive things (ie staying off drugs, applying for jobs, not committing crime). The goal is to direct resources to people who can be helped and are actually putting in effort to take care of themselves, on the assumption that those people can take some assistance and really benefit from it, whereas the addict who is sleeping on the street will just use tax money to buy more drugs.

A common liberal argument (not the only one but a common one), is that it’s more important to help “those in need,” no strings attached, that you can’t expect them to get out of the gutter until their basic needs are met and even if giving them money just enables their habit you have to “do something” and giving them clean needles and cash is better than “doing nothing.”

One of the problems that manifests all over the world in varying degrees is the tension between doing “something” which can easily harm more than it helps (the conservatives tend to point to this), and doing ENOUGH to actually help someone (or robust social services to rehabilitate people). In the US it used to be common for people to be institutionalized, they’d have all their needs met and in most cases get some semblance of help, albeit at a cost to their freedom. Well, nobody really liked that system since it was very expensive and was prone to human rights problems (if someone is too mentally ill to consent and you try and experimental treatment on them, are you helping or using them as a lab rat?). So now those people are on the street.

At the end of the day it’s a very difficult set of economic and moral problems to solve, and demonizing the political party you dislike and labeling them as heartless villains accomplishes exactly nothing.

What arguably would help is sane housing and public health policies so people could afford a roof over their heads and get medical treatment when needed without having to have an upper class job to pay for it.
