> It only matters that some people get power over others

I agree with this part. I disagree, however, with your implicit suggestion that fewer laws will help.

The purpose of the government is to protect people, and it's obviously failing at that in the current prison system. But simply punting the problem to the "free market" won't help either - corporations are arguably even worse offenders of exploiting unfair power dynamics.

The real answer, in my opinion, is fixing the broken power structure. After all, the government gets its power from us, and it's one of the few ways people can affect positive change.

Maybe if we all voted responsibly, prisons wouldn't have the power to exploit prisoners like this.

Ask HN: How to Find Contracts in Computer Vision?
Hey HN,

Me and some buddies have been working on a computer vision / AI software startup for some time. We've developed some really neat product prototypes, but decided that what really interests us is actually taking on contract work in the field. Quite the opposite of much of HN I'd imagine!

So basically we're a small team of engineers and entrepreneurs with a portfolio looking for CV/AI contracts - probably remote work within North America, but willing to travel and consult/work on-site for larger projects.

How would we go about finding contract or consulting work in our field? Some ideas:

- Reaching out to relevant job postings online, but reply as a contract company - Present tech we've worked on at meetups/conferences in the field - Spend a bit of money on social media advertisements - Try something like Upwork (though it looks like low wages)

What's worked for you getting started similar situations? What would you recommend we try?

Thanks!

I think you might be extrapolating from your experience with your own social class. I can assure you that armchair nutritionistism is not the biggest problem for the majority of the country.

How is it “Apple’s policy”? Apple chooses not to write a tool chain for Windows or Linux. If a third party once to make one, they are free to do so.

There is a big difference between Apple not allowing something and Apple not supporting something. I choose to write native apps for the platforms I care about. If I wanted to use Xamarin I could.

The possibilities sound very interesting, specially as an experiment to minimize the damage of social media's capability to be a very powerful, cheap and all-inclusive propaganda tool capable of causing society-wide disruption, and all the state, corporate and pretender political actors interference that come with that kind of threat; the combination of actors with state powers with anonymity making them unnoticed and unaccountable particularly terrify me; I will look into it.

It seems to emanate a lot from the US. My bro has a patent not tech sector but makes him world leader in his field, and the biggest player in his industry who happened to be based in the US, tried it on with patent infringements. They ended up killing the company in the country affected to avoid paying legal fees. Seems the most extreme forms of Capitalism and perhaps undesirable aspects of capitalism come from the US. However when looking at how the US was formed over the generations, one could argue the country is one built on extremism.

If you cant get a Dev job, try something else. I am thinking maybe QA. In my 10 years experience the only good QA people are peogeammers. My enterprise software experience...the companies have dedicated QA people and they suck. I just use them for sign off.

Just read up on some QA terminology/buzz words and I'm sure you'll be hired in a heart best. It's not a minimum wage job, you'll be around development and this will buy you time and sanity till you get a development job...you would be able to easily automate QA and make yourself valuable there too.

I'm a senior developer with a crap load of Dev and non Dev responsibilities. Sometimes I just want to be QA so I just test crap all day long, and have no prod issues or other accountability.

Getting a programming job has only one secret: passing the whiteboard interview.

The questions in a whiteboard interview have little in common with real world experience. But they're one of the hoops you have to jump through.

Good luck.

In WPA-EAP the AP is not active part of the authentication flow (it only forwards the frames) and as such does not directly authenticate itself to the client (it happens indirectly by the fact that it can forward the frames).

The configuration space of WPA-EAP is huge and most combinations are horribly insecure, but as long as you stick with one of the "tunnel everything through TLS" EAPs (EAP-TTLS or PEAP) the result is safe against passive attackers even when you don't verify server certificates (obviously you should verify the certificates, because the active attack is trivial and does not have to interact with your network).

I get that. However, it's arguable that mistakes are all too often eternal against the most dangerous adversaries, such as authoritarian governments and other criminal organizations with state-level resources. And so it's arguably better to focus on resistance to censorship.

>As an English speaker since age 3 I found it both valuable and pleasurably to learn French and German, as the three languages are like the vertices of a common triangle

I don't know French, but had noticed and said somewhat the same (although regarding English and German only) in an HN thread about Berlin startups a while ago. (Someone said something about the difficulty or otherwise of learning German, and I replied to that.) I noticed while learning German that I could guess the meaning of many German words, because they were similar to English words I knew. Even very light knowledge of Latin (just casually picked up during a lot of reading of English) and some Sanskrit knowledge (studied it in school for a few years) helped, since all are from Indo-European language family tree.

100%! Without hijacking this thread and/or turning it into a political rant, the propaganda of people "abusing" welfare is a 99% political agenda. Like you pointed out, unless you are committing "outright fraud" there is really no way to live a lavish lifestyle off food stamps and other government benefits. In most cases, even if you are able to get the full amount for food stamps each month you are left with little. The people who complain the loudest about "food stamp fraud" often don't understand the slightest how food stamps work or what you can use them for. They don't understand it is not some bottomless grocery money each month or that you can't buy toiletries, paper products, or related items.
I was just using car stereo caps as an easy-to-reference bound. (I'm not in tune with current cost of bulk energy storage caps)

As I was saying before, the main difference from your amplifier was the amount of power involved. In general, audio amplifiers have large capacitors on the power rails to smooth out the ripple voltage, and will coast for quite some time as they don't actually need that much power for typical music and volumes.

Here's a similar example - high current USB charging bricks, with a power indicator LED. If you have no devices connected and unplug it from the wall, the LED will stay on for quite some time. The LED just doesn't draw that much current (say 10mA) compared to the capacitance, which has been designed for smoothing the full charging current of 10A. Also the LED will happily ride the voltage down from 5V to its junction voltage of 2.5V or whatever, using even less current. And due to the logarithmic nature of your eyes (ears), you don't fully perceive that dimming.

It's worth being aware that milk and milk products can actually have a pretty significant amount of sugar in the form of lactose.

"If you're lactose intolerant and looking for yogurt, go Greek. Greek yogurt, which is thicker because much of the whey, the watery part of milk, has been strained out in processing. This also removes much of the lactose. Greek yogurt supplies less than 6.8 grams of lactose per 6-ounce serving, compared to less than 8.5 grams in whole-fat yogurt or 14 grams in non-fat yogurt. Hard cheeses such as cheddar have even less lactose, between 0 to 2 grams per ounce. Milk, in comparison, has approximately 11 grams in one cup."

What does it even mean for a non-journalist to have an off-the-record agreement? If a interviewee asks a journalist that something be off the record, there is generally an expectation that it will not be reported on by the journalist. But does that mean that the interviewee can't talk about what the journalist said during the meeting? I'm interested in hearing what the specifics of the agreement were - whether they were phrased as "neither side talks about this", or if it was just phrased as an 'off the record meeting', which in my mind only applies to the journalist in the room.
