Very good cameras are available in the US, people are bad at placement and choosing appropriate cameras. They install cameras too high up to capture faces and choose cameras with extremely wide views. If you concentrate your pixels on a smaller area you are more likely to get a useful image.

A quick test is to have a friend put on a hoodie and creep around your house at different times of day. How many clear shots of their face do you get? Or are you just capturing the top of their head? In my experience if you don't have a face or a license plate the police aren't interested.
Ask HN: Would you use js.fo?
Hey guys I've been very busy lately with js.fo, you can type in to your browser to see what it is.

For instance,

<script src="http://browser.js.fo" />

Will allow you to embed a fully standalone web browser in your HTML.

The other items I am working on still but would love to hear suggestions and feedback.

I think you have presented a fallacy:

> If an experiment is run that says the sky is blue, then its invalidation does not mean that the sky is not blue.

If an experiment's hypothesis is that the sky is blue and the sky is indeed blue, then there is nothing wrong and there is nothing to be invalidated.

If an experiment's hypothesis is that the sky is blue because there is a bunch of leprechauns throwing blue Skittles at it, and there are evidence that this not the case; then the experiment is to be invalidated and, in your own words, "[i]t means we no longer have evidence for that conclusion."

If you don't have the evidence to support your hypothesis, then you can't draw any conclusions except for, and at best, that there is no evidence to support your hypothesis. To put it into the context of the running example, this translates to the sky is blue but it's not because leprechauns are throwing blue Skittles at it. You can't say just because my hypothesis about leprechauns is invalidated, it doesn't mean that there are not leprechauns throwing skittles at it—because that's simply just what you believe and wish to be the case; and a good scientist should be impartial to beliefs.

More importantly, the whole point of the article is beyond invalidating the SPE. It's, in my opinion, a great piece about much deeper problems in scientific or, well, "scientific" methods.
It's more likely that people deciding not to have children have more money to spend, which, given supply constraints on housing, increases market clearing prices for housing.

TIL some people think there is such a thing as “Agile Data Science” that somehow makes Data a part of what Product Owners are supposed to do.

I guess we need Agile Statistics, Agile Machine Learning, Agile Fluid Dynamics, Agile Operations Research, and Agile Complexity Theory too?

”They said, "In the Talmud it says you're not supposed to make fire on a Saturday, so our question is, can we use electrical things on Saturdays?"

I was shocked. They weren't interested in science at all! The only way science was influencing their lives was so they might be able to interpret better the Talmud! They weren't interested in the world outside, in natural phenomena; they were only interested in resolving some question brought up in the Talmud.”

What about dealing with a-holes. That's as important of a skill as anything listed in the article.
> The GPL says nothing about branding though

I said in spirit, not literally.

> In general, people tend to confuse copyright/patent with branding

I understand how trademark laws work, I'm talking about why this policy is wrong and against how OSS projects work in general. The original purpose (as stated by the policy itself) was supposedly to protect confusing forks of the same name or prevent pseudo successors, but it goes way beyond this to attack anything with git in the name.

> For example, imagine a software project which is only tangentially related to Git. It might use Git as a side effect, or might just be "Git-like" in the sense of being a distributed system with chained hashes. Let's say as an example that it does backups. We'd prefer it not call itself GitBackups. We don't endorse it, and it's just using the name to imply association that isn't there. You can come up with similar hypotheticals: GitMail that stores mailing list archives in Git, or GitWiki that uses Git as a backing store.

They reason this issue as "endorsement"... yet it's so common to have an ecosystem around a popular piece of software where project names are a derivative of the name of the core software it builds upon, I doubt anyone ever got confused or even cared much about endorsement, instead I think enforcement of this policy will just make the relationship and purpose of software built for use with git more opaque to users.

You literally have no idea what you're talking about. Every one of my friends who is a senior software engineer, including myself, at a decent-sized company has a total compensation between $300-400k per year. One of my good friends has a total comp of $650k, with almost $300k base salary. I have friends at Facebook, Google, Uber, Airbnb, Apple, etc. We all share compensation information with each other.

My friend at a startup is ready to quit because he's only paid $170k for the last 5 years and he regrets not staying at Apple because the shares he left on the table were worth over $1M now. He is now 0/2 in startups, both of which you have heard of, and he's very frustrated.
True, the time and agony component of a more thorough renovation is pretty high, but people are still willing to pay a crazy premium for a home that is moving-in-ready. Crunching the numbers, factoring in labour and materials and handymen and extra time off needed, I definitely came out on top. And financing it was a breeze, my bank had no issue increasing the mortgage to cover the renovation, because they knew the apartment would go up even more in value.

This was 2003 though, it might be much tougher today.

Even Canadians are pretty much against the dairy protectionism. But the NAFTA agreement never hinged on dairy - its all about the 5 year sunset clause which would stop cross border investment and make the agreement all but useless.

That of course was the disagreement before this weekend. Now Trump has made it personal, and its going to be real hard to get any concessions form Trudeau without making it look like a surrender to the bullying USA.
Is there evidence of correlation between the size of working memory and brilliance/genius? Or is a universal human mind limit?

Although, for any even moderately complex problem, abstractions or chunks of some kind are necessary, so proficiency in recognising, using and creating them is more important than holding one or two more, being able to hold more like help - especially in managing them. Perhaps help a lot, and the development of some abstractions may actually be impossible without greater working memory.
Self-reporting demonstrates that qualia is real, but a lack doesn't demonstrate its absence. People may not have had qualia back then, we don't know. I am confident that at least some people have it now, and it makes more sense that everyone (with a reasonably functioning brain, at least) does than that it's somehow piecemeal.

I don't think the notion that qualia is an illusion makes any sense. If it's an illusion, that means that we somehow have the perception of it without it actually happening. But that very perception is qualia. It's like saying that we don't really perceive red, it's just an illusion, we just think we perceive it. But the thinking is the act.

It's different from your stoned college discussion because we know that something is going on. I have the sensation of being me, in a way that known physics can't even address. I'm fairly certain other people have this as well, based on how they talk and behave. I can't quantify it and I can't even really describe it, but it's clearly real. In fact, my own sensation of being me is the thing I know with the most certainty. Everything else could potentially be faked, but not this.

There is a component of internet that enables exploitation. And there is a component of internet that enables empowerment.

People, by default, will consume stuff that enables exploitation (Ads, Facebook and its friends, porn etc). Very few ll actively seek out stuff that empowers them, even when provided access.

But when you provide only, say, facebook, in the name of giving Internet, to a population, you open a new channel to that population, that is solely meant to exploit. This is probably what facebook tried to do with India and failed.
These are 3 very different arguments. I will answer each:

> A tax is a legitimate cost of a functioning economy as much as an electricity bill or a truckload of cement. That tax pays for the infrastructure which makes that same transaction possible in the first place.

A tax can be used to pay for the infrastructure, and also pay many other things that are terrible and inefficient and immoral. Government spends a very small fraction of its budget on infrastructure, what about the rest? If only a fraction of the spending justifies the whole, then as long as you use some part for good you are entitled to rob the whole.

Moreover, as time progresses, we find more and more ways to pay for infrastructure without taxes. Why is the infrastructure of the US is crumbling, and tax pressure is equal or higher? Its just not real that taxes are necessary for infrastructure, and that taxes are spent on infrastructure.

> Ideally the cost of participation in the economy should scale linearly with how much excess benefit you derive. Total benefit minus the cost of being a functioning human in the society. This requires the insight that a person who has $1,000 of discretionary money every week has a lot more than ten times the excess benefit as someone who has just $100 discretionary every week.

I dont see well the justification for 'excess benefit'. What is excess benefit and who decides? For me, goverment employee salaries are excess benefit, because many of them do actual damange and collect a paycheck. Can we tax those 100%?
The second part talks about the ability to pay: if someone has higher ability to pay a tax they should pay a higher tax. I dont think this is in everyones best interest either. If someone is earning a lot more because he produces more value, the tax will punish the productive fields, and prize the least productive fields. This means more people will work on the least productive, and less people on the most productive. The end result is worse wealth for the entire society.

> Put another way, from the perspective of a rich person, it's in my interest to have everyone else in society well fed, free of disease, mentally healthy and able to work productively. The best way for rich people to ensure that is to require them all to pay a much larger proportion of taxes.

It is not true that taxes are the way to help people advance. The greatest advances of human kind in quality of life and wealth happened in time of low government tax and intervention. Equating taxes to benefit is a grave mistake, one that reality has once and again shown extreme dangers. The society with the ultimate taxation, Socialist-communist, has shown greatest decline and misery of its people.
I am on the reverse journey. I went to art school, have been a designer for many years, and write software at a "not very good but I'm working on it" level.

How do you learn to self-critique? Honesty, objectivity, and taste.

Given your background, taste is the only one I'd worry about, but if you're shooting for photorealism, that's fine. You've got taste about what photos look like. That's easy. I'd bet that, after getting in the game, your goal won't be photorealism at the 5 year mark. But that's for later.

Here's Ira Glass, of NPR, with a fairly famous set of remarks about overcoming the period of time when you know what good art looks like, and know that the art you are making is not good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2wLP0izeJE

Another anecdote I've heard that's a favorite of mine and describes the process of becoming talented very well:

A pottery class is divided in two for the entire semester. One half of the class is told they have the whole 15 weeks to make one really, exceptionally great vase. The other half is told that their only goal is to produce as many vases as humanly possible, regardless of quality.

At the end of the semester, the vases that were aiming for excellence pale in comparison to those created by the half that was shooting for volume. Through the course of creating many terrible vases, the students learned what makes a vase good, and how to do it in fast, repeatable ways. You don't make the mistake on vase 20 that you made on vase 1. These iterations compound and lead to significant quality gains.

There are a lot of links to e.g. the lean startup methodology here. Fast iterations are better than long chunks of time spent chasing an ideal, because your ideal at the outset is almost certainly flawed in multiple ways that you won't realize until you've spent time trying to execute against it. Your ideas will fail in the world in ways you can't expect, so you want to put many ideas into the world and learn about the maximum number of failing cases.

Make as much art as you can, for as long as you can, no matter how bad it is. As long as you have ideas about what needs to improve, you can improve.

Don't know about japanese exclusive schools, Liberdade¹ is the biggest japanese community outside of Japan, but I don't think that there's any restrictions about students or anything like that in the schools of the district, Brazil has an immense amount of diversity, japanese brazilians are mostly treated the same as any other brazilians and are for the most part integrated in our country general culture.

I like the true listening in your approach. Responding that way reinforces agency.

I think that's also compatible with having an expectation that the situation will change over time, that most often the intensity of suffering will decrease, and that the survivor will get their life back on track.

Pigment durability was reasonably well understood. Oil paints are much more lightfast than watercolors, because the oil medium offers some protection from UV. Varnishes added another layer of protection. When applied as watercolor or gouache, many pigments will visibly fade in a matter of days if exposed to direct sunlight. Lightfastness was a major motivation for pigment research, especially in exterior applications like signwriting.

Even today, many artists pay little attention to the lightfastness of pigments, despite most manufacturers providing extensive information on lightfastness. The great watercolorist J.M.W. Turner was notorious for using pigments that were known to have poor lightfastness; many of his watercolors were severely faded within his lifetime. The relative lightfastness of oil paints may have lulled some artists into a false sense of security.

The latter half of the 19th century saw a huge increase in the number of available pigments due to advances in synthetic chemistry. Cadmium yellow was starting to replace the less durable chromium yellow, but it remained relatively expensive and was used infrequently by an artist as impoverished as Van Gogh. The chemistry of these new pigments was not fully understood, so some lightfast pigments used at that time have degraded due to chemical reactions with additives and impurities in the oil paint medium or varnish.
I worked at a YC startup with a pretty good exit.

I was employee #40. I made about $100,000. The co-founders made about $100 million each. If I joined a FANG, I would have been granted $500,000 in RSUs, and they would have tripled in price during the time I was at the YC startup. Unless you turn into another Uber, the vast majority of wealth goes to founders.
It's not necessary to spend the money to obtain a patent in order to prevent others from patenting an invention. All you need to do is make the invention available by publishing it somewhere discoverable by the relevant public. The publication doesn't need to be in an academic journal either. A recent case found that a message on Usenet was sufficiently public because Usenet is organized hierarchically into newsgroups on various topics. A blog post would also probably suffice, so long as it's indexed by a search engine.
In pretty much every analysis involving housing costs, I try to mention that percentage of income spent on housing is not a great metric. A better metric is absolute income minus housing costs.

All else being equal, I would gladly earn $1 million per year and spend 75% of it on rent, because that remaining 25% would be a heck of a lot of money.

I doubt this metric would significantly change the conclusions of this article, but I’d like to see that metric used.
I disagree- I’m really good. They just have a very large hammer they swing. Anybody can get good results with the resources they bring to bear. Getting good results with jack shit takes talent, haha.

The answer is not and will never be writing bigger checks with money you don’t have. It’s getting real up close and personal with your team and figuring out a way for everybody to win. If folks want to ride my ride, that’s super, but most cats don’t really have a taste for my risk and work profile. Where I excel is professional development and lifestyle. I can move the needle for people there.

because they find a home. Think about how many people in the US are living hand-to-mouth, where any disruption can cause them to fall behind on rent.

> My understanding is the json type stuff is a language specific workaround and not part of the standard.

The standard is made to be extended (https://www.apollographql.com/docs/graphql-tools/scalars.htm...)

For example, you should start with making your own DateTime scalar.

> What I sort of what is to be able to craft a query against a large set of objects like a customer/location/asset hierarchy and filter on different levels like sql query without it being in a database.

You can totally do this without raw json scalar. Actually, it would be better without it.

If you could go more in-depth details, I could make you a PoC.
