A number of things for you to consider:

1). Under USA jurisprudence, LEO's and prosecutor's are allowed to lie to the defendants. In other jurisprudence regimes, that is such a no-no that cases have been dismissed when evidence of such behaviour has been found and this is irrespective of any possible guilt on the part of a defendant.

2). As mentioned by others here, the fundamental rule of jurisprudence is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, which by it nature requires a jury trial.

3). Typical practice under USA Jurisprudence for prosecutor's and LEO's is that it is preferable to get a plea bargain than actually do the hard yards to find the actual perpetrator of some crime and then collect enough actual valid evidence to demonstrate that the person is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

4). Both state and federal agreements (business and otherwise) requires keeping all those "wonderful" private prisons full. This is to ensure that both state and federal entities get the best deal for the money that are paying out for these privately run prisons.

5). As intimated by others here, there has been extensive analysis of both state and federal laws that basically show that every person in the USA has broken at least one of the many tens of thousands of laws on the books that come with felony penalties. The vast majority of these laws are not even know by the vast majority of the population of citizens.

Have you ever been on a jury that has to consider the facts about a matter of any serious crime? It is a sombre responsibility and takes a great deal of effort to unemotionally consider the facts as presented. It is a not a duty that I wish to repeat.

When I had a bad experience with Ambien (check my comment above) I thought what a fitting great name Ambien is. It totally recks your understanding of surrounding. I can't forget that when I went under my bed sheets it felt like I was in a different house. A very subtle but scary feeling. Like sleep paralysis except it's much more visual and confusing.

You may know if you like a particular dish, but would you think your sense of taste is good enough to pick enough dishes to make a successful restaurant? Probably not, especially if you don't know how to cool.

Just because you like or dislike a particular creative piece doesn't mean that you have what it takes to dictate a piece of creative work that will be exposed to millions of people.
> If you're within a 90 min. commute of San Francisco, for example, you would still make the SF pay.

Is that anywhere near the calculation information? I didn't see it. This is very helpful if you are looking for people in the DC area, particularly Northern VA as you have the Rent Index as:

Washington DC - 0.780
Virginia - 0.488

Northern VA, even a bit further than your 90 min number, can still be on par with DC pricing.
So would the store inflate the price after you entered your name, or not show any price before entering a name? Neither is probably that good for business

I'm a bit concerned about all of the comments here, in HN of all places, praising Windows 10 as a daily driver. I thought this would be the most receptive audience for Linux.

I don't think Linux on metal can be beat for developing software. macOS is a close second, but its BSD toolchain feels a bit out of place when targeting Linux servers. Windows is only really suitable for doing .NET development.

Can someone who uses Windows 10 shed a light on how you are using it for development? Do you prefer to use Linux on a VM? is WSL a suitable substitute for a dedicated VM?

Ambien descent for me was absolutely momentary. One moment you feel normal, one moment later you feel absolutely different. For me it's even debatable if it ever makes you asleep. It feels more like it paralyzes you. I guess, I never had a "black out" from Ambien (like sleep walking etc) and the portions I remember were what I can describe as hell on earth.

Doing 2 master degrees and 1 bachelor degree at the same time. My advice: drop the bachelor degree. Keep the masters and don’t wait for the perfect thesis to come along. It takes too much time. High grades don’t matter and you didn’t want high grades in the first place. You just wanted useful knowledge. That’s a good thing.

Try to get as much work experience as possible.

Keep the relationship you have with your GF. Yes you’re going to break up in 2 years but it will teach you a lot, you need it.

Be more convinced of your own thoughts, you listen to other people too much and forget to formulate your own opinion. Other people their thoughts are interesting but so are yours. You know more than you think.

Most coaches are pretty good. I feel fortunate to have met enough of them to be able to say that. They all have different models and approaches. I derive my own coaching models from personality psychology. Another coach I know uses the Co-active model. Yet another uses her own model based on athletic performance.

I advise people to spend the time and actually experience the coaches they find--try it out--then reflect on how the experience went. This gets the subjective and objective concerns in the same space so you can see how things shake out. The objective concern (concern about the coach and their qualities) needs to be balanced with the subjective concern (how can I make sure I'm capable of being coached, and not undercutting myself, not shooting the messenger as a defense mechanism, etc.).

"Faking it" is incredibly common, and there's nothing wrong with it. I've worked at several startups over the past 20 years, and almost every founder is faking it to some degree.

What reason would you have for publishing something in a public API if it actually is for "internal use only".
Imagine if no one paid rent to people that do almost nothing. You'd have hundreds of dollars or thousands of dollars in your pocket every month minus some extra taxes. If repairs needed to happen, the state could fix the property because no one, not even people that are bad with money, should live somewhere unsafe. It'd end up saving money in higher educational attainment (lead paint) and health outcomes (pneumonia, cracked stairs, broken elevators, screwed up water etc) as the slumlords are banished.

Ok but that's a very odd comparison. It's well known and studied that _normal_ doses of Ambien can induce unpredictable behavior on humans including sleep walking and/or confusion. But 2 grams of paracetamol is 4 times the normal dose, and paired with a drug it should never ever be taken with.
It blew my mind when I visited my grandmother recently.

There's a computer in the household. My grandfather used it avidly since the days of dialup. He didn't give up the dialup connection until well into the 2010s. I'm not sure if he still uses it. My grandmother was never interested in it.

My grandmother still certainly has her wits about her. She does NOT fit the mold of someone un-skeptical or easily swayed due to senility. Yet like many older people she voted for Trump despite voting Democrat in the past and living in a very blue area. This of course is very curious to me.

Eventually my conversation with my grandmother went to the topic of news media. I had mentioned that I do not like the way news reports anecdotes and not data and paints a misleading picture. I mentioned a few of my favorite sources which eschew this trend (fivethirtyeight, the economist etc).

My grandmother replies that she knows full well the news is garbage. The thing is to my grandmother the news is whatever she can buy at the corner news stand. Her options are the New York Post or the Daily News. She has considered maybe spending the extra money to buy the New York Times.

Coming from a world where news comes in an infinite stream from infinite sources straight into my pocket 24/7, it completely blew my mind that news for her comes from 2 sources and only once a day and both are owned by Murdoch. I am used to a world where debates can abruptly end with "lets look it up". In the world of my grandmother, remembering a few stories from the papers and friends is the only reasonable basis to form an opinion on anything.

Maybe we've overvalued the importance of fake news on the internet.
Have you actually experienced this or are you just assuming it might happen in the future?
> unless we want another occupy movement or worse

It seems like the current administration would be just fine with another Occupy movement. I mean, were they even a real problem for Obama, who had to at least make gestures of support in their direction?

Unless Occupy II is spearheaded by Trump supporters, which looks...unlikely.

While I disagree and think your assessment is a bit hyperbolic, I do see that there may be some stigma in whether patients admit to their doctor that they drink. My dad apparently lied to his doctor quite a bit about his junk food consumption prior to his double bypass. Patients feel guilty about things they know or think to be unhealthy and for some reason think that lying will help them in any way. It's weird. Like, why are people more afraid of what some random person thinks than they are of seriously fucking up their doctor's ability to treat them?

Jed, you keep repeating this like it's true, but it's not actually so. Here's an excerpt from Borg paper (which David co-authored btw ;-)):

> A single elected master per cell serves both as the Paxos leader and the state mutator, handling all operations that change the cell’s state, such as submitting a job or terminating a task on a machine.

And while we're at it, I don't know what it has to do with FauxMaster since it ran single replica and the passage about C++ is just pure fud.
I've found that the golden rule of "everyone is lying to you" works well enough. Assume that every change will be a breaking change. Test everything, verify everything, and then continue to test and verify when it's in production.

I started using Linux for FLOSS reasons about 15 years ago, but now that I'm older and mostly just care about my computer working the way I want it, without bugs and distractions, I have really shifted away from my old free software opinions.

I still use Debian Linux for my home computers. My wife even uses a XPS Developer edition. I would like to switch to Windows 10 for the battery life upgrade, but I find that Windows is slow and has a lot of distractions (eye candy and advertisements) compared to my Linux computers. The virtual desktop management isn't as convenient as it is on Linux (Mate desktop). Emacs, Git, Elfeed, and a lot of the other Emacs-related features/plug-ins I like to use everyday are also dog-slow on Windows, which is the real deal-breaker for me.
But it does make you more likely to be convicted of a crime you didn’t commit, which seems like a bad thing.
The original poster was discussing the OpenPGP feature. The U2F feature of YubiKey wasn't compromised by the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is real and still exists. There was even someone in this HN thread that was planning to use an old key fob Arstechnica sent him, specifically for the OpenPGP feature.

I should have split my backup and vulnerability comments into two, because they've sparked two unrelated debates. It started out as such a simple comment! :)

Coal comes from dead trees.
I'm maintaining an open source project[0] and I'm struggling with using SemVer because my "app" doesn't have a single API but a few:

At it's core it's a node app. Though I also include a small web server that wraps around it (and a UI frontend).

1. It allows people to write scripts (js) that receives inputs and passes on events based on an API (the strategy API)[1].

2. It has extensive configuration[2] that sometimes changes form (the config API).

3. It talks to a number of external services (crypto exchanges), over a "common" protocol called the "exchange wrapper API"[3] (I am ignoring the version of the exchange API being consumed).

4. The wrapped webserver comes with an API (REST + WS)[4].

5. The "core app" is a chain of plugins, when they change the required config/events also change (usually breaking changes 1 and 4)[5].

I could take all of these components apart (microservice way) and version them separately, but I like the monorepo style I use now where pulling one repo means that everything is working together. Also the fact that (in bug reports) people only have to refer to one version (and when on nightly maybe the git commit if I need more details).

But versioning is a mess.

Can you explain how it follows logically? I don’t see anything resembling a logical argument for that. Seems more like it follows emotionally.
I had almost too similar of an experience to you (check my comment above) but I disagreed with your last paragraph. Ambien made me physically paralyzed and I was trapped to my bad for hours, hallucinating, in a state of confusion to the point I couldn't remember who and where I was. It can be pretty unpredictable.
> The idea is very simple – if Portugal owes Ireland €0.34bn of short term debt, and Ireland owes Portugal €0.17bn

Yes, it's a simple idea. And the reality is even simpler; they don't owe each other those amounts. Rather, a large number of individuals are owed those amounts. If I, a private individual, own a $1k bond issued by Portugal, and you owe a $1k bond issued by Ireland, obviously we can't just say that sums to zero. Nor can we do so even if I happen to be in Ireland and you happen to be in Portugal.

This whole thing is a non-starter, grounded on the most absurd assumptions with no bearing on reality. If we're just going to make things up, why not just assume that all interest rates are zero; now the debt burden is totally manageable.
Seems like they'd still protect you from anything that records your password and TOTP, but doesn't gain access to your store? E.g. a website gets some JS injected that skims your login. Which doesn't seem all that unlikely.

Basically it becomes "just" replay prevention. Which is a nonzero benefit, but totally agreed that it's not at the same level as a separate generator of some kind.
Wouldn't it be more democratic if we let the state own all of Bill Gates' money and stocks, so every citizen can have a vote of that rather limited resource?
Consider this. You are guilty of at least one felony offence under the laws of both state and federal legislation of the USA. Irrespective of what you may think about your innocence, the excuse that you did not know the law is irrelevant before the courts (unless you are a LEO), you are still guilty and the appropriate penalty is spending time in prison.

All it will take is some LEO or prosecutor to decide to come after you and you will be facing the very thing that any others have faced.
> Prices aren't completely crazy yet, but my house is worth 65% more than what I paid for it, and is increasing by the year at too large of a rate.

Just an anecdote, but in India this rate of growth is expected. People expect their property to fetch double returns in 3-5 years. My parents bought an apartment for ₹1.5M, we lived there for about 7 years and it sold for ~₹6M.

Me and my wife are planning to purchase our own now and we factor this growth expectation into our calculations.
Ditto for “Indian accent”. There are hundreds of Indian accents.
The article neglects to mention: We are coming off of the lowest interest rate environment in around 400 years. As interest rates normalize, many interest-rate dependent markets are in for normalization as well.
In some languages / project structures you need a way for internal components to connect that happens to be "public" but is not meant for public use.

I see this a lot in Java libraries, for instance.

No. The root of my argument is that the plea system causes a disproportionate distortion/inflation of sentences for those wrongly found guilty.

Sure, if the plea system disappeared tomorrow, then initially sentences would probably be universally high. But at least wrongly convicted innocents wouldn't be treated more harshly than the guilty.

In time, different (probably mainly political) forces would bring down sentences to what society considers acceptable (two years in our example). Even if sentences didn't go down, at least they'd be aligned with society accepts for both guilty and wrongly convicted innocents. In any case, the absolute length of sentences is outside the scope of my argument.
It may not be the fundamental problem, but plea deals are still horribly unjust. They are punishment for asserting your rights. They should never have been allowed and should be abolished.
On a few occasions I've found myself in the presence of a senior engineer at a large defense company who would never stop talking about how persistent memory will change everything forever. Fair enough, but he'd go on about it in the weirdest ways. I think his impression is that the CPU registers would also be nonvolatile. I'm concerned that guy might be a few electrons short of a full orbital.
No, it isn't computable (that is, correctly determining one of "these functions behave the same" or "these functions behave differently", and not "unknown") in general, as it is equivalent to the halting problem. Consider these two versions of a function, are they API compatible?

def foo():
return True

def foo():
return halts("some turing machine program")

They're only truly API compatible if the program halts, but the program can be arbitrary, so proving that any 'foo' of this style are equivalent is solving the halting problem.

Of course, one can still likely get useful answers of "definitely incompatible" etc., with much more tractable analyses. AIUI, the Elm version ends up just looking at the function signature, and catches things like removing or adding arguments: for appropriately restricted languages, it is likely to even be possible to determine if downstream code will still compile, but that's not a guarantee it will behave correctly.
Yes it is, people are an asset in a growth company and not a liability. The ability for Alphabet to survive is to continue to innovate and go into new areas, and that always needs more, new, people.

Exactly - who owns and owes these debts exactly? It's clearly not the same counterparties since they would have netted out their debt long ago, in an accounting sense if not in cash.
How to avoid looking dumb on Google Adwords
I didn't, but the Neopets HTML guide got me into writing my first code when I was around 10. Having a cool user lookup was a nice incentive, and IIRC there were a few mystery plots that involved picking around in webpage source code.

When I said I was using Windows 10 as a daily driver, I didn't mean for my development stuff.

I use my MacBook Pro with macOS for development stuff and work. Linux for file & web serving, troubleshooting devices, file system/partition management, etc.

Windows 10 is the system I come home to, sit down, and use for web browsing, document stuff, and playing Blizzard games after work.

My Ubuntu install could do all these things really. But VOIP on it, pulseaudio in general, is pretty garbage. I can't seem to get my mic to stop listening to itself through my headphones. I don't have this issue in Windows so I've been using Windows. I've tried to fix the issue, but it hasn't been easy to fix and I don't have the energy to mess with figuring out why pulseaudio is being a pos when I get back from work.

That said, I would never do anything beyond UI, .NET, and HTML dev on Windows. Too much of a hassle to get good flow. VS Code takes out most of the issues though.
i don't think you will have a purely 'objective' system while people are running the show; Now if we have robot managers then i don't see why they would need us too much (except for debugging them ;-)
