Unless the electronics were branded as stolen I wouldn’t immediately assume malicious intent from the buyers.

People might have all kinds of reasons buying those electronics anonymously - maybe there are no other channels to get them from (oppressive government restricting features like VoIP in iPhones, etc) in which case the “dark” web is the most logical place to go to get a clean device.
Upvoted you because me and a friend did exactly the same thing. The IT guy was really pissed about it, but we didn’t think it was such a big deal. Nothing came of it in the end but I think we were banned from the computer lab. Pretty backwards priorities on behalf of the teacher in retrospect.
Cannabis detection devices in Australia (NSW anyway, maybe VIC and other states) seem to have a detection window of a couple of days or more. So it's almost entirely moral policing operational over here. This would be an improvement on that.
PJON is a general purpose "wheel" designed to work on a "charriot" (ATtiny85) as well as on a "formula 1" (real time operative system like linux, winx86, macosx). It has an "all weather tire" able to run on "mud", "tarmac" and "sand" (it operates layer 2 or the data-link agnostically).

Probably for this reason the README seems too general and not specific. The protocol is made NOT to be specific and its implementation is done to be executed (the same codebase) everywhere being 100% software "defined" or "emulated".

I agree that AIs will eventually win. But I only consider human beings beaten when the AI is interfacing with the machine the same way as humans -- looking at the monitor, and inputting commands through keyboard and mouse. That is on a different level than just hooking into a log of events and calculating your next move. Given enough time humans would do that better than the AI imo
From the admin standpoint, Usenet was pretty good until it started being (mis)used as a binary transfer system. Once it started using a DS-3 worth of bandwidth to carry the full feed, it started being a battle between the users and the admins.
I must be missing something here. What are you actually charged with? DUI? How can that stand in court at all if the breathalyzer obviously proves you were under the limit?

I downvoted you because you were condescending while providing an otherwise relevant piece of information.
It does, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
I tried this for a while, and honestly didn’t find it helpful. A big part of it for me is developing muscle memory, so writing code out by hand sidesteps that.

Also, I became keenly aware of a nervous tic that was making me try to hit command-S on the notepaper.

Telemarketing does not help grease the wheels of commerce. It helps grease the wheels of scamming.

Commerce is when people buy stuff they do need and that provides value to them. Telemarketing is conning people by pushing them to buy shit they never needed and that won’t provide any value to them. It is not commerce, it is scamming.

I’m not criticizing you for doing the necessary things to put food on the table, but please don’t justify it by saying it helps commerce.
Wasn’t there a big case about that?
> That is exactly why almost all DOD secure areas are windowless.

I'm pretty sure that a bigger factor in why secure facilities have limitations on windows (and especially on ground floor windows) is physical security.

If a company borrows money to issue a dividend then fails the owners have already gotten money. Buybacks are slightly more complicated in a subset of owners get that money but it's still often a net win for shareholders on average.

Further, low capital costs increase the amount of money that can be extracted and thus make this ever more enticing.
Where did this happen?
In most US states, the 'legal limit' as detected with a breathalyzer is just a threshold that results in automatically being charged with a DUI/DWI if you exceed it. Blowing under the threshold doesn't provide you any kind of legal protection against being charged with a DUI/DWI.

I think it is pretty unethical to give someone access to company data without the companies permission, and especially to allow that person to actually work on company products.
Not unethical at all. They were paying X amount of money to get Y work done. You were providing that just fine (I’d say you were providing them even better value because you eliminated human error).

It’s not your fault if they would rather hire a human to do some automatable task.
Come on, do you think hooking a robot to the keyboard is the hard part? Do you want 5 fingers too?

And if watching the screen, do you want it to have bad eyes like we do too (good resolution only in the center)?
Deleting or not deleting, I dunno.

I started talking on the internet when I was 9. I've always had to live with the paranoia of my data following me around everywhere. Because it does, it could exist somewhere, even if I delete it. Who sees it? The people that matter (other technology folks, since that's where I've directed my career towards), or the rest of the world?

At the end of the day, my feelings are this. Everyone has issues. Everyone looks brilliant sometimes, and dumb other times. Everyone makes mistakes, some are better at hiding them than others, but that doesn't mean anyone is perfect.

It's easier to just not judge. Don't let others past drag behind them, don't use their past against them. Because, it's a mental prison you either force yourself in, or force others in. The way you treat the world either is the way you see the world, or it becomes the way you see the world.

Also, all those mistakes can add up to something great. Error seeking mentality can turn into error prone mentality. It's important to have tolerance for yourself, and others.

This is the direction everything went in. Collect as much data as possible. Inferences can be blinding. Of course it's going to affect people.
Scraping is not unethical IMO. If you make the data public then everyone has the right to use it for whatever reason.

Arbitrarily restricting what the data can be used for is what I would call unethical.

PAC money can be spent on ground game, which feeds turnout.

I agree that there is a deep cultural canyon dividing the country right now. However, the need for funding to keep up with the competition limits what representatives can achieve. It is in this context that the lobbying of the finance industry (for example, but many others) finds receptive congress critters from both parties.

For instance, there were a handful of Senate Democrats who voted in favor of a bill to weaken Dodd-Frank back in March.

I often wonder why someone would run such a service for free. I assume they’re loosing money by running this service.
I have to ask, why did you choose to take the contract? Financial pressures? Or did you not feel that such a system is morally reprehensible?

Personally while I'm opposed to programmer certification, systems like these certainly make me wish such a thing existed.
What you described sounds a lot like mint.com.
Doesn’t look unethical to me. The site is making money by intentionally withholding information and getting people to pay more than what they should.

Certainly not, and in many cases it may even cost more than that to drive your own car. But the car comes with a huge advantage that taxis have fallen short on:

The cost is upfront. People sit down and budget $x for transportation and then they know that amount of money will get them anywhere they want to go. People hate having to decide in the moment whether they want to spend the money or not. I notice a similar phenomena when it comes to mobile phone service. People would rather pay extra for a plan that provides more than they could ever need than to have a lesser plan and pay overages when needed because the overages require thinking about it in the moment, rather than pre-planning how much they want to budget. $70/hr. isn't even going to have anyone thinking twice about changing their behaviour completely.

Maybe robs-taxi services will pioneer a pay ahead of time service that captures the necessary mindshare that will make ownership obsolete, but that won't have anything to do with the technology. There is nothing stopping a taxi service from doing that today with human drivers. It's just a tough business model to work with when providing services, so it is uncommon.
A breathalyzer is just additional evidence. All the cops have to say is the defendant appeared to be on something.

But what is the point of liking or retweeting tweets which you know the author will delete in a year/month?

I don't retweet much, but I want those retweets to stay on my feed, not disappear by author's wish. Similarly I like tweets to keep them as bookmarks, and I wouldn't be happy if those tweets would disappear too.
Most (all?) states have the law written that if you refuse a breathalyzer it is an automatic license suspension. Depending on other evidence the state may press DUI charges.
I like the nonprofit model that was mentioned towards the end of the article. I think that has more of a future than the midsized regional stuff. However, I think that what's really killing the public press is citizen journalism and video evidence. You'll have press releases and news stories describing something, but your aunt has video of it. So of course, you'll just get the video from your aunt. At that point, who needs the press? And what do you need it for? Impartial analysis? We live in the age where Donna Brazille gets the questions beforehand from CNN. Nobody believes that anymore.

This is in part the Newsman's own fault. We are in an era of hellish clickbait, and utter partiality, and many have caught on to this. It is a second era of yellow journalism and sensationalism, except now the yellow press is free.

Unfortunately not everyone feels that way, and you have zero control over that. You do have control over the attack surface you leave for bad actors to leverage.
Yeah, not successfully compiling and running was an automatic fail in my school.
I may have created and taught others how to create phishing pages and in high school and then used those generic pages in spear-phishing campaigns. Also I may have come up with some really good growth-hacks to gather credentials which resulted in a some inappropriate messages sent by a kid to another that he denied while he was suspended. No idea who actually sent them because maybe the phishing group was too large.

I may have infected my classmates with RATs in school with another partner and uncovered a large number of class romances.

I may have been an asshole as a kid. I'm just glad I grew up.
And as someone commented on a previous thread here, their presence with trolling arguments causes the thread to become 'contentious' so the HN algorithm knocks it off the front page. I've no doubt that for some of the trolls that is the objective.

It's a pity because this is probably the most important issue of our time and it's going to take an engineering/scientific approach to solve it - so I think it's highly relevant to HN. There are some sharp minds on here. It should be hotly debated and the ranking algorithm should be able to take the heat.
I tried a similar idea, but for security reasons I tried to develop a DSL that would "compile" to CSS/HTML/JS instead of allowing authors/developers to write JS. I gave up (not only was it to difficult for me to maintain the codebase) but also because I realized most "cards" would just be ad-driven junk with poor UX and UI that would try and get personal info. from users.
Didn't Google try something similar with their homepage once? It was unsafe though because you had people submitting JS and having it execute it other people's browsers.

I used to follow this community about ten years ago. I decided to try to see what remained and all I could find was the SoulSeek community, which is still around.

I'm near NYC, so getting to see Cap'n Jazz last year and the various outfits the City of Caterpillar/pg.99 guys play in has been fun, but I'm out of the loop nowadays. Check out Pianos Become the Teeth if you haven't, they're from the East coast and have followed the typical progression from hardcore to indie emo that seems common in this space.

There's a long-held opinion/joke that there's an emo revival about every decade, so I'm holding out.

Thanks for this.
Just write them down if you consider them of great importance. Cite. History repeats itself.

"We just need to figure out how to make money while avoiding it" is just other words for "To achieve X, we need to figure out (and implement) an incentive structure so that people would benefit from doing stuff that facilitates X, which is pretty much the only way to get them to do it".

The wiki is a better overview – https://github.com/gioblu/PJON/wiki

This is an abstract network stack for raspberry pi- type devices so they can talk to each other while sheltered from the underlying network interface (wifi, radio, wire, light impulses, etc) and sits on top of whatever transport protocol (UDP, TCP, Serial). By "multi-media" he means the physical layer, "media like electricity, radio and light"
Almost. Yes, you may still be charged. Yes, they may use the evidence of your refusal. As far as equivalence, no: the test itself is just one piece of evidence. Because refusal should ordinarily make it more difficult to prosecute DUI (for what is, comparable to the stop, a very small inconvenience), I think most states have an automatic license revocation penalty attached to it - usually around six months. Field sobriety tests (e.g. walk in a straight line), I think, are much less conclusive and do not have such requirement.

IANAL. Search for James Duane.
This approach is still incorrect, and the bias toward the set of 4 points S = {(1,0),(-1,0),(0,1),(0,-1)} can be seen in the diagram. There is no way to break out of this bias by flipping or reordering coordinates because those two operations preserve the symmetries of S:

- if you flip the x-coord of a point near S, e.g. (-.9,0), you still get a point near S, e.g. (.9,0)

- if you swap the x-coord and y-coord of a point near S you still get a point near S.

- etc.
In the last 12 months we've had tropical storms, siberian-like snowstorms and now a long hot summer. It's certainly been more interesting than our usual grey wet summers and grey wet winters.
A similar realization is that most algorithms/data structures problems posed in software engineering interviews are all about imposing the right mathematical formalisms.

If you correctly infer the _structure_ of the problem, then you're going to have an easy time solving it. If not, you'll use a great lot of time hunting for a fruitful angle of attack.
How much sequestration would we need to do to actually reverse the effect, and why can't we?

For someone who is not familiar with FriCAS, can you give an example or two (assuming a math background)? I'm interested in specific cases where open source tooling outperforms Mathematica.
USAA isn’t a credit union, but they don’t have many (if any) ATMs, so they refund any ATM fees other banks charge.
The problem is that carbon sequestration costs more now. Although it would arguably reduce future costs, there doesn't seem to be a workable economic mechanism for linking that to the present. I'm certainly no economist, but the current situation seems clear enough.
Although we refer to ourselves more as an army than a community, I can't stop raving about what's going on over at Cent. I literally can't stop - I am on my 81st blog post about the site (proof: http://kayageetheworld.blogspot.com/search/label/CENT).

The sense of community is surprisingly strong at Cent, which is kind of amazing for a site where the stated purpose is to provide a way for anyone to earn income from anywhere by paying users for providing responses that are no different than FB posts or Tweets. The difference between Cent and FB and Twitter though is that users on Cent are responding to posts that have a monetary bounty attached to them, so users are incentivized to make quality responses in order to get a piece of the bounty. Users also get paid for making the equivalent of a FB like or Twitter heart (but don't quit your day job to like responses since we're you'll earn a few cents per bounty).

I'd say more, but heading over to https://beta.cent.co/ and trying it out for yourself is more effective than any explanation.
Grindr the service isn't unethical but I recall a thing about them having a lot of third party tracking. Which given the nature of the service seems to me way worse than tracking elsewhere on the internet.

Ok I was coming to say "spy satellites at 40,000 km up - I doubt they can see anything. And if the linked article is correct the Chinese satellites up there have a resolution of 50m - good luck finding a crisp packet.

But the new generation "might" have a resolution of 1m. which is insane.

Then again, good luck knowing which square meter of the 1/3 of the earths surface you can see, has the crisp packet in.

I still think there will be a place for good old bribery corruption and sex spy techniques for a while yet.
Last Week in Pony – August 5, 2018
It didn't used to be that way. The change happened 2-3 years ago. I think a lot of this ultimately comes down to poliitical polarization - people feel that if they don't agree entirely with progressive policies, then they must be conservative, and the climate change denial follows. I think there has been an effort to "de-Bay Area" hn for better or worse (there was a time when general SF news was somewhat germane and topical here, but no longer)
