I agree with you, and I would add that, from a Popperian view, the LHC has helped falsify some of the possible string-theoretic universes from being our universe, by failing to pick the lower-hanging particle-fruits of supersymmetry from its relatively low-powered tests.
Let me quote from my own very first paragraph:

> My comment is not about the person... only about one specific section in the linked article.

I don't see why anything you say should influence my opinion about what I wrote, when that is all I comment on? Do all his accomplishments mean he can say whatever he wants and I can't say anything? I admit I don't understand your response, given that I already limited the scope of my comment myself right from the start.

Humans, as a group, are not universally rational actors. Such is life, or is that a cliche?

I hope that this being something that engages your hate means that your personal life is otherwise quite good. May it be filled with all of the same and rational behaviours you choose to make.

Given that I was at least somewhat specific, I have no idea what you are trying to convey, and/or what your point is, unfortunately...? Yeah, I noticed that the article isn't (specific) either.

It's still a terrible and terrifying drug for subduing people.
Great article, really blow my mind
The article is over sensationalizing something that really isn't that shocking.

I thought they were going to index unlisted videos using brute force lookups of the URL, or that an API was leaking. Now that would be Hacker News worthy.
This all assumes that for some strange reason you’re dropping the whole asteroid rather than packets of pre-processed material which is what you’d actually do. As a bonus you could use some of the cruft from the original body to make heat shielding for the “parcels” to be used on reentry.
As more and a wider variety of stories emerge about police malfeasance around the U.S., it should become increasingly difficult to credibly say it's just a few bad apples here and there responsible for isolated incidents. It is ubiquitous? I don't know. But empirically it does seem to be pervasive.

Amazon will for sure go after this industry. There's no doubt about that. But it's hard to tell how fast or aggressive are they going to pursue this opportunity.
We do a lot of UI automation for testing. I have played with AutoIt quite a but I found it pretty difficult to get scripts to run reliably on different machines. It's get for one offs though. It wouldn't hurt if you could use it as a library from C# code. Or is that possible? The built in language is not that great.
I'd rephrase that slightly. In many cases, there is commercial software that makes use of many of those open source projects.
Funny that I didn't see it (I'm french). What do you find quirky in it ? (Talking about the first 2d one by example)
If I know that by jumping off of a bridge I will get hurt but I still jump, it is the bridge that is at fault.

Brilliant logic on your side!
Using technology to subvert the State is a large cat and mouse game and the first mice are bound to make mistakes. It's the risk of jumping in before having a better grasp of the underlying technology that you rely on for security. Eventually the market will move nearly completely to more private currencies but the "game" will continue. Some people like to focus on the "high reward" part of "high risk/high reward" a lot more than the "high risk" part.
I don't really know how to respond to your last statements.

I totally understand the creators blight of not being paid for someone using their work. Like others have said in this thread, especially now that I work in the field.

I find an issue with the work output of the stolen tool being tampered with. Was it permanent? Could you restore full quality by purchasing or some other arrangement?

To block access, or degrade functionality I find okay. To purposefully destroy someone else's hard work (even if made with stolen tools) just seems... wrong to me.

Most of us here have done it. Think about opening up an old project's source code that you happened to write with a pirated copy of VS or Blender or what have you when you were young and couldn't afford things but still wanted to learn.

To find it destroyed would crush me.
The "danger" in this case is a reduction in scarcity which would lead to all sorts of alternative uses for whatever they decide to tow back to Earth.

If they perfected a way to cheaply process titanium tomorrow it would suck for people betting on the scarcity of titanium but would be a boon for countless other uses of it that simply aren't economic today like stronger, lighter engine blocks for the family car.

Admittedly I didn't read the wikipedia page so...

Ok, read the page and "nothing to see here, move along..." since no modern currency is backed by precious metals.

Ok but what about the people who already work one or two part time jobs, already picked the cheaper community college, already aren't buying $5 coffees from Starbucks daily, already don't eat out all the time, already don't pay for cable, already didn't buy a new iPhone this year?

In the federal system, the most that an inmate can earn for good behavior is 15% off of their sentence - so the best behaved inmates serve 85% of their sentence. If the feds can get one of them to testify against the other (probably the boyfriend against Elizabeth), they may offer that witness a deal for perhaps 3-5 years. But at least one of them is going to do over a decade. Anything less would cause a huge PR problem for the US Attorney's office for the Northern District of California, precisely because she is well connected. They'd be accused of doing favors for a formerly wealthy, well connected person.
This is the new line, the old line is quite a bit slower.
There must be something wrong with me, because I don't recognise myself in this at all. I'm not sure I've ever experienced this.
the article talks about UPS as an old outdated and lagging behind its main competitor FedEx while in my experience as a regular shipper I have to say UPS is a lot more reliable with its delivery schedule and serving its shipper customers needs.
I was also under that impression, and that dupes tended to include GET params or were a mobile URL or something, but these two are actually the exact same URL.
As long as it is something that can be handled by throwing customer a bone, it is OK (nothing outstanding, though). Anything else, and Amazon would happily lie to you and promise things they know they can't do. That might be legendary, but not in a good way.

Supersymmetry has not been found; however the top quark is an encouraging precedent.

The top quark was predicted in the early 70s, and was expected to be found soon. However colliders failed to find them, and its minimum mass kept getting pushed up. It wasn't found until 1995, at a much higher energy than was initially expected.
Google isn't that shortsighted. The behavior described in that comment is both disgusting and horribly against policy. (I work there part-time; I get most of the "don't be stupid in this way" training.)

But I'm not surprised that in a company of > 70k people, there are some who either shouldn't be involved in hiring, or desperately need more clue. The real question is if on a per-capita basis, Google's managing to make it better over time.

Staying organized is a huge burden! One of the ways I've helped them organize, is by moving to digital communication wherever I can:

- Customer leads are almost 100% digital (Website, Google Ads, Yelp). This means they can reply back and forth without having to call, so no paperwork is necessary until they're customers. Everyone involved seems to appreciate this.

- Estimates and invoices are delivered digitally, we currently use Waveapps, which is good enough for the small business for now. This allows us to keep track of who has/hasn't paid yet. This is a huge help with staying on top of things.

- My parents aren't tech people, so after much trying with iCal/Gcal, their best calendar to work with is actually an old fashioned paper one. Used to keep track of estimates, and project scheduling.

- Ultimately we've had to hire a 3rd party to help with tracking worker hours, payroll, and taxes. Yes there's payroll software, but again because my parents aren't tech people and they're currently at their wits just running the business, it was best to hire outside help. I'd like to help with this, but I work full-time, and screwing this up can result in extremely steep fines to the business.

- Really the only new paperwork we have to deal with on an ongoing basis is storing copies of customer contracts.
Why are people jumping through hoops trying to imagine possible reasons for differences in academic performance when the best predictor is IQ and that can be measured from just a few years of age - before they would have to spend time studying or taking care of younger siblings. We already know that east Asian children have higher IQs on average than whites. That explains their better test scores at school. We also know that blacks have lower IQs than whites which also explains their lower test scores. So if you're looking for a cause of the different outcomes, you should look for the cause of different IQs. Since that starts young, maybe black parents don't hug their kids as much as Asian parents (that affects IQ) or maybe it's genetic (that affects IQ). The popular Raven's matrices IQ test has no words, just abstract images so there's no language bias there. Researchers have studied this to death over and over again for 100 years and they keep successfully reproducing the same results. They try everything to eliminate bias, such as having the test administrators be the same race as the subjects and controlling for socioeconomic status and going to different countries and controlling for the economic status of the country and so on. It's a solved problem down to the IQ level. What's not solved is how to improve the IQ of a person after they're born. You can improve it before birth by choosing parents with high IQs.
But even if it is tailored to your liking, you'll also suffer from a worse bubble than we all already suffer from.
The biggest refutation of the few-bad-apples theory in my mind is that for each bad apple there are a dozen other officers that either did nothing or actively covered for them, plus the policeman's union which will zealously assert that basically no policeman is ever to blame for anything.

It would be a whole different story if the police rooted out bad actors within their ranks on their own, but it seems like it takes a lot of kicking and screaming and, most importantly, public scrutiny, to get anything done.

That's a pretty good idea! Though my inclination was to think of a truck that dispenses (most) packages to the driver via a external hatch. Small win but possibly save a lot of bending, searching, and lifting.
>difficult to credibly say it's just a few bad apples here and there responsible for isolated incidents

the point of the metaphor is that a few rotten apples spoil the entire bunch, so this isn't really an excuse to begin with.
For a long time on the most popular platform, Intel 32-bit, double wasn't IEEE754 64-bit float by default. It was 80-bit internally, causing weird discrepancies. A description: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3206101/extended-80-bit-...

Interesting and encouraging use of bodycams:

True.

Could be taken as an interesting argument against ideas like the gold standard, pegged on limited supply.

There was a notably huge spike in inflation in the US during the major period of gold rushes in the US. 1850-1870, avg 3%, nearly 15-20% around 1860-65, when Nevada, Idaho, Arizona, Colorado, and California all hit gold. Interestingly, followed by a huge crash.

Effectively just created a bubble that burst shortly after. When a theoretically limited asset is found in huge quantities, it possibly creates a vast, unstable surge in the money supply, that then just equalizes back to the real value of underlying assets later.
Hopefully for him he can collect that $350,000.
There's plenty of research about the problem of the arrow of time, so o don't think it's fair to say nobody touches them. And what did you mean by "Is there something underlying quantum mechanics?"
This is correct, it's actually a very safe drug, it's on the WHO list of essential medicines, it's given to infants, obviously in a appropriate setting. Very questionable that some people had to be resuscitated because they were given Ketamine while handcuffed - already a strain on your breathing and heart, when it's a depressant.

Some companies won't have a budget to fund random / semi-related OSS project development.

Dont travel to such countries. Never ever period.

Crossing a border is a big decision, no matter how cheap the tickets are. I dont get people who keep doing this, its not like those are split second decisions.

Why in your right mind would you do this without carefully considering what the effects of you being in that country might be. I had female friends talking about going to holiday in Dubai, another friend with a Turkish passport visited his family in the south east recently.

People were skeptical of Theranos' claims before the WSJ expose from Oct 15, 2015.

Here are some examples that predate that article:

This discussion from 2013 talks about Theranos doing full blood draws which they wouldn't need to do if their technology worked:

I've had ketamine infusions for depression. At the ketamine clinics, the drug is administered by an anesthesiologist, and insurance does not cover the cost since the drug is not FDA approved for depression.
>Representing 260,000 UPS drivers, sorters and other workers, the union wants UPS to hire more full-time workers to help handle the surge in packages. It has opposed technology such as autonomous vehicles and drones and is wary of projects that do work with fewer employees.

This isn't tenable for the company. The union might be able to stall automation in UPS for a few years, but it'll end with UPS being unable to compete with its competitors. At that point UPS will have a lot more leverage in union negotiations because the alternative will be bankruptcy and everyone losing their jobs. Hopefully union leadership adopts a longer-term view before then.
I tried to use Pocket a while back. First it put me in an HN cluster where it would recommend all the articles posted on HN that I didn't save to Pocket because I wasn't interested.

Then I intentionally avoided saving articles from HN and just saved any decent blog posts related to programming. One of those must have mentioned Merkle trees or something because it started recommending "5 ways Bitcoin will make your farts smell better" etc. Then I gave up.
I moved to the ESR branch specifically to get a web browser that just browses the web. (It's the default in Debian for that very reason!)

However, version 60 added pocket, along with other "features" such as the optional Firefox experiments (where, if you opt in, they track your user behavior to improve the browser).

Guess I'll be looking for a new browser again.
My issues with the article. First, I didn't know enterprise systems fail so regularly. Really? Where? Who is having these failures so regularly? Secondly, I'm a bit surprised about the 'across the field' statements against relational database engines and the SQL layer. After all, there are so many different implementations. They all work and function quite a bit differently in performance and design. This article sounds like someone who is selling books or perhaps the author is one of the many great corporate management seminar-tarians. A person selling specialized lectures designed to appeal to middle management held at opulent motel conference centers across the land. Oh, I can't wait to get my hands on those croissants and fresh coffee. I'm going to be so smart now.

It has a inadequately trained police force, apparently with some cultural and management issues, probably under-staffed and wearing down under a high workload and too many encounters with the worst kind of people in some districts, where there is absolutely no time to take it slow.
Content marketing blabla.
I think many times these arrests are meant to be a demonstration that law enforcement is doing their job. I imagine even the arresting agents realize this guy is a drop in the ocean and his customers will quickly flock to his replacement.

I am apparently more confident (to some people) at selling a product of my own on the internet than I am at selling myself as an employee in person. They're not exactly the same for me.

In any case I seek to find work that I would be happy with, and where my current soft skills wouldn't prevent me from doing so.

In the professional sense, I have pretty good interactions with people at work, and generally considered to be a reliable worker. But social faux pas are judged ever more harshly at job interviews.
It's just strange for me reading something like "I don't know anything about Dyson, but -proceeds to talk about Science-". I think you should know him, he's been around. Science is made by people, it's a good idea to get to know who they are and where they're coming from before judging what they're trying to say. Most of the outsiders of a field spout nonsense, but there are really smart people out there as well.

Yeah, in my book Freeman Dyson can say whatever he wants, he's earned it. Of course I'm not saying he's right, but I'll double check.

But he's a physicist!... well, at some point Biology has to be Physics, what else could it be?
I’m not terribly familiar with ketamine. Thorazine is often used for this purpose, as an injection, a gas, or a pill. How does it compare in how it affects the target?

I’m emphatically not in favor of police using this except as an alternative to other types of violence, but sedation is useful in other contexts.
