"It’s just like insider trading: not executing a trade that would have otherwise (i.e. given only public knowledge) been in your best interests to execute, where you didn’t execute it because of corporate-internal knowledge, is still just as illegal as the reverse."

Can you provide a citation for that? Every definition I've read (eg. [1]) says that for it to be insider trading, there must be a trade. It doesn't necessarily have to be done by you (eg. U.S. vs. Rajaratnam [2], where an insider was convicted of passing information to a friend for relationship goodwill), nor do you have to be the insider (eg. Martha Stewart [3]) but some exchange of tangible property for financial benefit must have taken place.

It seems very problematic, from an enforcement perspective, to criminalize not doing something, particularly when it comes to trading. I don't see how you could ever prove "would be in your best interest to execute, given only public knowledge", given that the whole point of a trade is that one counterparty believes that it's in their best interests to own the security at the sale price while the other party believes it's in their best interests to not own the security. If there's any market liquidity at all at that price, it implies there's a difference of opinion over whether the security is worth owning. It also seems problematic to try and infer whether your lack of an action was because of inside knowledge or whether it was because you were restricted from stock transactions because of insider trading laws (ironically) or whether you just had too many other things going on to bother trading.

... is a bogus concept.

States don't have rights.

States have certain powers granted them by their and the US constitutions. People too often misinterpret "limited Federal powers" as equating to "states' rights".
There's no reason to settle for "good enough" in a car that costs $100,000, though. The reason Tesla can get away with using a touchscreen instead of a better interface is that people think of them as futuristic and cool.
Works pretty well in Australia.
I thought this was interesting

"One reason for the saccadic movement of the human eye is that the central part of the retina—known as the fovea—which provides the high-resolution portion of vision is very small in humans, only about 1–2 degrees of vision, but it plays a critical role in resolving objects.[citation needed] By moving the eye so that small parts of a scene can be sensed with greater resolution, body resources can be used more efficiently. " from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccade

I suppose it's because ReactOS is replicating Windows, that is, it awakens fond memories of old activists (times when MSWin was the private enemy number one).

Nowadays, I guess the new activist would be more bothered by something that can replace Android (or Apple for extra kudo).

> developers continue to make large expensive homes

Correction - developers continue to make expensive homes. I'm about to move in to a studio in east London for £1400 per month plus utilities, estimated total of £1650 per month. It's a ~40 story residential tower, so from the point of land footprint it's as densely populated as it gets.
Its striking how much less bunching there is on the two routes (P/G) that operate in exclusive right-of-way.
They said it themselves. Its about _looking_ a part. If they wanted practicality it would be business casual and a backpack but its not about that. Monkey suit and briefcase shows you're willing to jump through the hoops, toe the line and wear the uniform.
I had this problem between Ohio and Kentucky about 10 years ago: I moved from Ohio to Kentucky, and they both considered me living in their state for the entire year.

I gave up trying to fight it after about 5 years (!!) and just paid the $15K to the Commonwealth of Kentucky and moved on with my life.

I now live in Florida -- legally and physically -- and don't have to deal with the headache of this crazy state income tax drama.
> But that's usually not the case: there is more than one airline, for example.

I am afraid we are moving to a world where that is somewhat the case. Not that there's a single airline, but where there's a single place to book an airline ticket, a single place to book accommodation, or a single place to book a taxi, for instance. The intermediary (e.g. Airbnb, Uber, etc.) can then jack up their commission as far as possible based on your profile. Users can't move because all suppliers are using that intermediary, and suppliers are forced to use that intermediary because that's where the clients are. Meanwhile, intermediary's are able to extract everything that's currently going into people's savings accounts.
I don't know enough about SS7 to understand if this is feasible, but it is clearly time for a call back based system. Millions of people signed up for the do not call registry. I am sure millions would sign up for a system where incoming calls trigger a call back. If your out bound call system doesn't support call back, don't worry because nobody wants to talk to anyone hiding behind the cloak of invisibility.
They don't really care though. The point of a loyalty card is to connect all of your purchases to one person or household. Knowing the age and gender of that person is interesting, but not really necessary.

These supermarkets want to know if there is a correlation between you buying X frequently, and Y occasionally. They want to know if your profile is that of a bargain hunter or a premium gourmet hobby chef. Knowing all that, they can offer you tailored deals designed to nudge your spending behaviour one way or another, and they can determine if a specific store location should focus more on certain groups of customers.
Any advice? Would it perhaps have been better to move at the turn of the year to make the case easier?

My hypothesis is that some people blindly upvote anything that has the word “React” in it.
Why? You just use package dependencies to indicated that they depend on the New Python.
> This is going to be a very hard sell being a proprietary closed source system to Linux users

I agree. Closed source communication tools are not a good proposition in general and especially for Linux users.

That said, Exchange itself is a closed mess and existing FOSS tools are trying to working around a problem of MS lock-in.
I totally agree. But keep in mind the effect "doing the right thing" has on the effect to be estimated. I venture it will not change the gist of the story. Heck, I should contact the author and build a shiny app to demonstrate. Even discounting a Chinese death 50% would put Tesla in the ballpark double the risk of luxury cars. My thought would be that Tesla is more a supersport car (McLaren, etc) in risk (for some drivers, say, male, young or midlife, etc).

That one local death in NL, the guy did double the allowed speed on a stretch where I can hardly hit 20% above the allowed speed accounting for traffic lights and local situation. The one Tesla death with the young kid, the same. Don't put maximum traction hundreds of HP in male hands. We tend to use it (sometimes).
Your project looks cool. Here's some overly harsh criticism from an old dude in no particular order.

The problem I see upon an extremely cursory view of your project is that it's trying very, very hard not to be a sellable product.

I'm a good programmer. Why do I want to learn your API/library instead of calling the exchange API's directly? Is this saving me time? Is it saving me time long term, even when your code changes and breaks things?

If you had to make this into a single web API and sell access to that as your product, what would it look like? There's your versioning and design answer.

Why is the app a "chain of plugins?" If the app breaks when the plugins change then they're not really plugins, are they? Does this design solve a problem or did it just seem like a cool way to do it?

Also, anything that relies heavily on configuration to work is a fundamentally broken design in my opinion. Configuration is global state that is hard to change, and the heavy-handed presence of it in a project is usually an indicator that the abstractions are wrong and most of the code probably relies on some hidden state that's really hard to debug unless you're the code author. If there's a legitimate runtime choice you don't want to make for the user, that's a function parameter. If that looks messy, you probably left too many decisions for the user to make.

An ideal library is stateless so that the user can handle wrapping it with simpler calls and configuration settings. Make building blocks, not skyscrapers.

Sometimes I want to grab all of you young people by the shoulders and shake you until you stop reinventing ever more convoluted ways to do RPC.

Finally, take everything I say with a grain of salt because I'm heavily medicated right now.
The biggest problem is that they go through all sorts of hoops to add unreported Tesla fatalities to the data, then compare those against unadjusted other fatalities and report that there are "more than Triple" apples (adjusted) vs orange (unadjusted).

The least they could do is run the same stats for both Tesla and another luxury brand (say, Audi), and then compare like to like.
Love this. I’ve experienced bus bunching in several cities at this point (LA, DC, and now Seattle). It seems to be a known failure mode of metro transit planning. First step is understanding what your problem space looks like. Curious to know what anyone here thinks could be a solution. I doubt skipping stops is one. I suspect that speed controls are probably the way to go.

Edit: kudos to doing this in R. I’ve done other city analysis stuff in R and I keep coming back to it for one off things like this.
Several of the sites offering 2FA begin by telling you a bunch of arbitrary one-use passwords for such emergencies. They suggest you write _those_ down and stash them somewhere.

They also tend to propose you provision several other 2FA mechanisms, such as SMS or TOTP OTP. But yes, I always begin by enrolling two Security Keys, and then one of them goes back in my desk drawer of emergencies.
The real issue is that the BACK bus needs to pass the front bus and move ahead a couple of stops.

Pittsburgh, however, as an unusual misfeature in that the single bus lane goes the wrong way against one way traffic (3 lanes of cars going one way--1 lane of bus going the opposite) for a non-trivial amount of length flagged as "hotspots".

This means that while automobile drivers using the bus lane is a self-correcting problem, a bus cannot pass another bus in those areas.

(I call the wrong way bus lane a "misfeature" because it regularly results in out-of-towners winding up dead because they didn't look both directions on a "one way" street. This is particularly tragic when the out-of-towner is someone who is visiting Children's Hospital because their child is being treated for some very aggressive disease.)
There is the world of hype, where reviewers and people who want to buy the newest thing live. As soon as the newest thing comes out it makes everything before it look like trash, at least until the next thing comes out.

OTOH the Nikon D3S/D700 (2008, 12MP) are still selling used for $1,000+ so I guess that 12MP is plenty for whoever is buying them.
Touchscreens are good for small devices like smartphones or tablets. For everything beyond that I can't imagine why anyone wants them. The distance between hands and eyes on the human body makes it a clumsy way to interact. You either have to look down or raise your arm very high. And then you obstruct your view with the hand.

For the driver of a car, I guess the perfect presentation is: Small amounts of important information should be shown in a head-up display. All the rest in a display behind the wheel. The controls should be on the wheel.

Then some stuff should be redundant (hvac, media, navigation to enter destinations) in the center console mostly for the passenger. The display should be high, the controls low. There is a single good use for a touch screen: point on the map to select a destination.
You can't though, controls started going modal with screens even though they have buttons around 1997. The mode is cycled through using a button press in most devices, so you have to _look_ at it know what mode it is in. It would be o.k. if the mode selector switch was a toggle or to a lesser degree a rotor.
Right, but they don't need to configure that crap, they get someone else to do it.
Not OP but I suspect they will say something about the math behind it. It's very true you can get quite adept at plug-and-play machine learning models (and indeed be quite successful) but the theoretical statistics, linear algebra and overall mathematical maturity take a long time to develop in my opinion.

> I enforce high-quality release notes like you describe. Representative example: https://github.com/sapcc/swift-http-import/blob/master/CHANG.... (note that this also takes SemVer seriously)

Nitpick: you are not using SemVer.

A normal version number MUST take the form X.Y.Z where X, Y, and Z are non-negative integers, and MUST NOT contain leading zeroes. X is the major version, Y is the minor version, and Z is the patch version. Each element MUST increase numerically. For instance: 1.9.0 -> 1.10.0 -> 1.11.0.[1]

[1]https://semver.org/#spec-item-2

Some of your version numbers lack the patch version.
It's kind of amusing to contrast the comments here vs a thread on the GDPR. Here many of the comments are along the lines of "it's not fair how California can enforce a law outside it's borders" but the GDPR ones were all "How does the EU hope to enforce this on american companies".
5MP is just very small these days. 3840x2880 is practically the minimum you want to go (to be able to capture 4k shots) and that is already 11+MP.

For 4k video there is the additional challenge that if your sensor is not exactly the right size then how are you going to sub-sample it? I bet it is not a complete coincidence that the quoted 48MP figure is pretty close to 4x above 11MP (=double the horizontal/vertical resolution); I imagine they are planning to sample every other pixel over 8K area, which probably brings in all sorts of benefits.
If you read the description of the sensor, it actually sounds a lot more interesting than just "moar pixels". It can use the adjacent same-colored pixels at different sensitivities to either increase the dynamic range (basically single-shot HDR), or join them together to increase low-light sensitivity at a 1/4th the resolution.
I either disagree or am ignorant about SS7. See my other post on this page. Interested to read others thoughts about implementing a "opt-in, call back only or GTFO system".
Sounds like a problem that would easily be resolved by federal regulations that would turn an engine off after three minutes automatically unless some other switch, ideally obscured or hidden behind a ui, is pressed (has to be pressed each time the engine is started). Seems like a simple solution, like lights that turn off with the engine but like that advancement, it'll probably take decades to standardize without proper federal regulation.
How to write a CV, or more importantly WHY
Perhaps he/she means applying a significant number of updates on boot? W10 does do this fairly regularly.
> how do we make this better?

Just teach the bus drivers to let the empty busses overtake the crowded one.

It won't solve the pauses when there will be no bus coming, but at least it increases the passenger comfort by a good margin and the average speed by which the bunch travels increases too.
Trying to capture some nice sunset photos while on a bike trip yesterday got me thinking, with these high MP sensors could one use an augmented Bayer filter to get higher dynamic range?

Instead of just the same RGB pixel filters all over, mix in pixel filters which are darker (passes less light). Then use this info during de-Bayering to construct a HDR image directly.

Maybe a very silly idea, but would have been fun to play around with (maybe I'll write a simulator).
Americans are deathly afraid of government. It's not just the lower or extreme classes. As you can see it's pervasive even on HN. The irony is that Europe, Australia etc are much less "dangerous" than the US
Questions to ask yourself when handling exceptions
Yes, the amount grown in excess of the law was for his own use; but the amount grown conformant to the law was for sale.

There may not have been an incorporated entity beyond just the farmer as farmer; but, sole proprietorship+ or corportation, there was still a separate abstract entity from the federal government’s perspective whose function was to trade in wheat (a “trading entity” or “Doing Business As” entity.) The farmer was—again, from the federal government’s perspective—the employee and sole shareholder of that entity; and that entity did business selling wheat.

+ (Sole proprietorships are a “hack” of the public API by which individuals interact with the tax system, allowing them to track their DBA revenue and expenses as part of their individual income and expenses. From the government’s perspective, though, when it comes to trade law rather than tax law, there’s always a company on both sides of each trade. In the case of sole proprietorships—including the case of, say, two neighbouring farmers bartering—the trade is just being executed by two "companies" whose identities are foreign-keyed to the individual sole shareholders' identities.)

Under this model, the amount grown in excess of the law was, effectively, grown by a business that sells wheat, and then given to the business’s sole shareholder in place of pay. That transaction caused the shareholder to not have to buy wheat on the market, which means the business made a choice to make this deal, when the business—as an entity that sells wheat—had a responsibility to know that it was breaking the excess law by doing this.
Not sure what carrier you're using but T-Mobile in the US just released "scam block" ( I had "scam ID" turned on previously).

In addition to marking calls as scam, now they simply block them outright. Getting approximately 0 scam calls in the past 2 days.
No, when you have a bigger pixel size you have also a better dynamic range and s/n ratio.
There is no substitute for pixel size in sensors with the same technology.
If you compare different sensors technologies, like front-illuminated vs back-illuminated than at the same pixel size the back illuminated has clear advantages.
The computational image processing can be applied also to bigger sensors, so it doesn’t make any sense to compare the raw capacity of a big sensor camera with the processed output of a phone camera.
I don’t really think that you have ever seen the output of an RX-100 if you judge it inferior to cellphone cameras.
What if:

* Function order changes

* Prototype goes from int function(char * ); to int function(char * arg);

* Typedef is added so instead of int function(char* );, it's typedef char* str; int function(str);
We have a different mindset and tend to see the state as a big, albeit slow and annoying, institution that's meant to work for us (minus corruption). See Rousseau's "social contract". From what I've noticed Americans tend to lean more towards "state = bad; state = tyranny".

There is a certain irony, seeing that bar outright dictatorships (China), the US state is and has been the strongest one for over half a century...

I meant to say the caller ID shows numbers from the local area code often. So blocking international numbers might not work.
I have rented numerous cars where the touchscreen could not be deactivated, the most I could do was turn the brightness down. It should be a law that auto manufacturers have a symboled toggle to turn off the non-essential displays in a car.

We will do it “when we can because we can” is the conclusion I give to so many conversations about the future of the species where morality should be a deterrent:

- modifying the genome of the species until unrecognisable

- transfer people to machines

- cyborg’ing and body mods

- creating weapons that could destroy all of humanity

This works in the past and present too, otherwise how would you explain Love Island?
Concentration of power inevitably leads to abuse - the only question is how long it will take until the taxation burden becomes overwhelming. It appears we're fast approaching that point and the next decade will break many Western nations while what are currently considered developing or emerging markets will rise to prominence.
A very interesting talk by Rich Hikey (creator of Clojure) on the topic: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oyLBGkS5ICk

To summarize, any change that offers more (as in, more fields in the output) and/or requires less (more of the original parameters made optional) is non-breaking.

Edit: Of course, this is all under the assumption that the semantics of methods should never change. Instead of changing semantics, he proposes to just create a new method with a new name.
Indeed, but the challenge is how many people have a strong idea of what an actually good interface is. People may continue thinking how touch screens are futuristics for a long time, for all we know.

It seems like the lesson of Steve Jones career and the old Henry Ford saying ("If I'd asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse") is that UI advancement needs a lot of leadership.

With 'Better images' people often mean today less noise and higher dynamic range.

While this is true, the returns are diminishing.

10y ago a 35mm sensor was 1 stop better than APSC, today a 35mm sensor is 1 stop better than APSC [1]. The difference is that 10y ago an APSC sensor was usable at 800 iso and 35mm at 1600iso, while today an APSC sensor is usable at 6400iso and 35mm at 12800iso. The usable range today for the smaller sensor is 7 stops (starting at iso 100) and 35mm is 8 stops, while it was 4 stops and 5 stops 10y ago. 35mm will always be 1 stop better for the same generation [2], but the increase of 1 stop in relation to the usable range (1/5 vs. 1/8) is going down. Same for dynamic range.

[1] Due to 35mm sensor being double the size of APSC and iso being log2

I suspect the correct use of Chinese data would make error bars overlap, exposing the BS.

Moreover, they should use the data where miles drive is available, say, from taxi drivers. Oops, that's 0 out of 0 total? :)

For such low incidences, even studentising will not produce right confidence intervals based on normal distribution. Poisson distribution cannot even be used, direct binomial instead, because it is likely that the error due to approximation will be important. (calculate from rule of rare events)
Just because it works in Australia doesn't mean it would work in the US. Different people, different culture.
