This is certainly a huge issue. The meta-system is completely fucked, no question.

But this subsystem is being presented in a skewed way. Yes it’s $1/hour; but you also earn a day of freedom for each day you work.
Why? So far Russia invaded only neighbors which weren't in NATO, so apparently joining NATO was (and still is) right way to protect your country from Russian aggression.

If you wanted say wordpress cpanel hosting will provide a one click button, auto update plus allow you install most popular php software packages easily.

Paying 10 or more dollars a month probably doesn't make a lot of sense unless you are installing laravel and for some reason can't do it yourself.. Or if you need to replicate the process. It is not really one button click either you need to find/create the right script(s) if you are doing anything complex and if you are not just have the developers get a copy of the app from github and clone a dev box on digitalocean.
It's not a straw man. That happened.
The prisons are a service for the free people to have safety, they should paid by them. It is insidious to make prisoners pay for the prison, they are not the recipients of the service, its just adding a layer of oppression.

But if you dont like a moral argument, make it an economic one. Each prisoner in california costs like 100k a year: if you paid them reasonable salaries, and they reduce re-incarceration rates you will be saving orders of magnitude more money.
By that argument, eBay itself on September 3, 1995 wasn't eBay either. When over the last 22 years did eBay actually become eBay?

You'll excuse me but your comment come off as if you don't trust the government and any regulation to achieve its goal. It's almost a satirical US view.

The regulations works fine here. It ensures that problems can be detected and acted upon. It's simple and it's much better than not having any inspections or inspections run by the repair shops.

For the documentation. The seller should provide the history with the cars, although there is no legal requirement for it. The few expensive tasks like the belt are definitely things to watch out for both parties. It's important to negotiate the price up or down, or avoid buying entirely.

I've had the case once of buying a car second hand, where the seller meticulously kept every visit and repair bill since he bought the car many years ago and it was exclusively done at the manufacturer repair shop.
Why is that?

Their post did not advocate for those conditions, nor is it likely that this is the person who originally instituted those conditions.
I think the fire program is probably one of the better subsystems.

You get better visitation, you are outside, I’d imagine that though dangerous, fighting fires is rewarding. Plus you earn a day of freedom for every day worked.

They ought to give them the training to become fire fighters when they get out though, and work to change laws preventing felons from firefighting work.
The specific what in the indictment? I think you're confused. I asked if 'stickfigure was working from the indictment or the press release (turns out: press release). He responded with a link to the press release and a request for which "#s I find damning". I don't even know what that question means.

There's are plenty of long-short ETF's with much lower fees as well, if one really wants to get into hedge-fund style investment.

Thanks for reading. We're not writers so we've found it more natural to just share our stories. We hope they're insightful!
My biggest question is why fire departments are using consumer-level services over commercial-licensed radio bands when they could be using SDRs with the spectrum specifically allocated for land mobile communications for public safety and emergency services in the 1m to 10m VHF band?
Exactly! If it’s happened randomly to you once, it’s probably happened to hundreds or thousands of other people. And besides that, when even completely innocent mistakes cost me two hours of time on the phone, I expect a VERY low rate of mistakes. A lot of big companies seem to take the view that it’s no harm, no foul if they fix it after a single call, but it’s easy to spend 20 or more hours a year dealing with this crap when everyone does it.
There's definitely been creepy experiments done on Facebook and OkCupid when they play with peoples' emotions and social responses- especially on platforms they themselves control, but this specific example just seems like market research at its purest: seeing how people respond to a typical product. Agreed that such experiments should be published, or at least made to follow ethical guidelines.
If you keep people in a prison you are also obligated to feed them and keep them supplied with basic necessities like basic hygiene items.

Nobody in prison should need to work to wash themselves or brush their teeth.
Your argument would hold water if "victim vs perpetrator" were entirely black and white. Is Verizon not a partial victim for having an unreasonable customer that thinks $39/mo is sufficient for their mission critical communications bottleneck? Isn't Verizon partially a victim of politicians drumming up anger when the government itself contributed to the error by failing to read a contract?

You can't just assign the victim label and be done with your argument. There is nuance and shared responsibility.

Not everything is an exercise in identifying the victim, therefore the other is the perpetrator, therefore the 'victim' is absolved.

Isn’t AFCS with hold position capability pretty much standard these days?
You say "that's not what happened" then propose what did happen... Is there proof of these things or is it how you are choosing to interpret some of info?

Surely att, sprint and others know that their lines are used for kidnapping, drugging and advertising sex, I don't think that makes them or backpage part of those ills. You propose they chose to cooperate with traffickers and make it sound like it was an A or B choice. I propose it is possible to cooperate with hookers and law enforcement at the same time, and from what I have seen, maybe that is what happened, not at all what you are implying.

Do you claim to know how much Backpage was "truly cooperating with LE" ?

As someone who has reported internet postings to LE and spent hundreds of hours trying to push similar info to various agencies, let me assure you that what many might imagine could happen when a site reports bad postings to whatever agencies, not many of them get a warrant and swat team to swoop in the next day. In fact they often don't do shit about it.

I this comment you post quotes about "Backpage has automatically deleted from ads before publication include... ... “amber alert,”"
and in another comment on this page you state "Backpage were telling advertisers to use phrases like "amber alert"."

You seem to be very confused on these particular issues.
I disagree that it's clear. Words have meanings, and

> By "unlimited", we really meant "limited".

shouldn't be a valid defense for misleading consumers. The plan would be more accurately described as "15GB 4G LTE Data". If the limits were stated more prominently, the fire departments could have avoided confusion and worked with Verizon or a competitor to get on a plan that wouldn't stop working at the worst possible times. Verizon could have also avoided some bad press by just waiving the fees and sorting things out later instead of demanding extra money during an emergency.
As much as I wish for incremental reform of prison conditions for prisoners, it's important never to forget the fundamentally unethical premise of prisons and state punishment, which derives from religious fantasies about good and evil.

Human beings behave according to the combination of their neurology and their conditions. We should do what we can to prevent dangerous behavior and do our best to treat the people who do dangerous things.

Deciding that some people, mostly people who come from historically oppressed groups and from poverty, are bad and deserve to suffer has a toxic effect on the core of our society.
You keep asserting this, yet despite repeated requests from myself and others you still have not pointed out the parts of the indictment that are presumably so convincing.

If it's so clearcut, give us the article numbers and let's talk about specifics. The indictment is easy enough to read.

This whole subthread is starting to sound like the McMartin Preschool case.

I read LYAH a few years ago and I enjoyed it. These days I'd probably find it tries too hard to be funny, but that's me getting older, not the book getting worse.

It is very much written by a (young) 20-something targeting other 20-somethings with a similar sense of humor. Came out in 2011, which puts the author at 24 years old. So ... you know.

Went to high school with the dude for 4 years. He's cool.

Some well known funds take 30% of profits.
If they paid - who would the money go to? If nobody knows where to forward to, the money would just stop somewhere along the road anyway. Someone would take, someone not entitled to it - might just as well be the home owner.
Excellent observation. We should all be asking ourselves why the laws of supply and demand aren't asserting themselves in the software development space. From what I see, companies are aggressively forcing rates lower and doubling down on insanely obtuse hazing rituals.

If demand were truly inelastic (what a "shortage" would imply) then rates/salaries would be rising and the on-boarding processes would streamline.

Their behavior appears to telegraph that there is no actual shortage.
Wireframe/design -> HTML + content.

That is the start.

When I worked at a startup, I was able to outsource ALL of our CSS work, as long as I gave them well-structured HTML.

I saw the look our designer wanted, broke it down into pieces that I could define in HTML and then made that.

I knew what CSS could do, was able to tweak their stuff, and could do it given enough time, but the lesson here is that it all starts with your structured document.
Yes and no. If you look at the difference in general, average of lives:

- poorer people have more friends whom, by poverty, aren't as able to move as much as first-world people, more physical labor (exercise), more children depending on them and fewer choices / expectations / freedoms... the net effects of these factors lead to less idleness, less depression and more happiness

- rich, first-world people have shallower friends whom move a lot, less physical work (more sedentary, less exercise), fewer children and infinite choices... more idleness, more depression and less satisfaction.

Also, if your entire Maslow hierarchy of needs is met, what do you do? What's your purpose? What meaningful problem can you solve or world condition can you change? These sort of existential crises, I think, lead to most suicides because people feel they have no purpose, no function, no power, no influence and therefore don't matter.

Someone I know who works at a hedge fund told me it was not a secret that retail order flow (trade requests from “ordinary people” on scottrade and etrade) was so misguided that, if it was allowed by the SEC, you could end up positive just by betting against it by taking the opposite position.

Maybe JPmorgan has some way of doing just that without breaking regulations.
> It's time FAANG pays their share for video streaming bandwidth.

They do though.

FAANG pay their respective ISPs for X gigabit connections to their data centers. I pay my ISP for a Y megabit connection.

I shouldn't have to pay my ISP extra to have access to Netflix just because Netflix will use up a constant 8-12 mbps data stream. Why should I pay more to access Netflix versus any other high-bandwidth application?

Cut through all the fine legal crap arguments here.

1) Verizon and their ilk are happy to blatantly misrepresent their offerings (and no, fine print footnotes/end notes don't count).

2) Verizon and their ilk, far from being decent corporate citizens and coming to the aid of firefighters, DO NOT CARE care if their misrepresentation gets people killed, as long as they can extract their maximum toll.

The business model is not to provide better service in a competitive environment, it is to capture the regulatory agencies so that they can extract the maximum rents, regardless of consequences.

I was just thinking about ghost a few weeks ago! I used to use Ghost way back when and wanted to get back to it but the installation process has become really complex and brittle. I'm a little ashamed to admit that it beat me.

The cli tool is very rigid. For some reason you cannot simply run ghost as the user ghost but you need some other user with sudo privileges to create the ghost user during the installation process. And if there's any problem at any point, it just breaks.

I will try the npm path[1] but it looks pretty arduous as well.

Is this a business decision to turn as many people as possible to the hosted version? Or is this just the state of node and modern web apps?

I think it's because the average developer is the not the most socially dominant or forward person. They probably tend towards the introvert side of life, and so they want people to like them.

That means they're easy to push around.

Ask HN: Recommended message broker / library for cellular connections?
I am working on a system where multiple (up to 10-20) autonomous units collect data, send it to a backend and perform commands submitted by users through a web frontend. The devices communicate with the backend wirelessly through a cellular connection. Some units will be coded by a third party, so the client should be fairly easy to implement.

Which messaging library or framework would you recommend that works well over cellular connection?
They were reporting to NCMEC. For all we know, the phrase "15 year old lolita" caused them to report something.

Beyond that, they had a bad word filter to help moderate the site. To make themselves look better, yes. They didn't want a bunch of ads on there using the word "lolita". They could have blocked ads with that word, thus guiding "traffickers" in how to write ads. They chose apparently to delete these words. Both of them would have been used against them. In either case, they must have had tens of thousands of ads matching, with the actual underage persons involved being in all likelyhood a small minority.
> But that's true of nearly everything.

Yes, that's my whole point: the claim made that users flag content bases on ideology rather than factual disagreement is essentially impossible to be justified, since perception of facts and ideological viewpoints are deeply intertwined.
I love engineering. But you know what, when rent is $3000+ per month, there's only so far my rational mind will let me go.

I loved art and drawing too. But I wisely chose not to master in art when going to college.
> In the off chance they just wake up and start slamming you with unsolicited marketing then you can click unsubscribe in the footer of their email and you'll never see another email from Docker again.

No, you see tons of email from everyone Docker sold your "Guaranteed Live And Active" email address to, once it verified liveness and activity by you clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email. And that's assuming Docker doesn't just keep spamming you, secure in the knowledge you're reading their earnest missives and care enough to respond to them personally and by hand.

> But really, I don't think Docker is foolish enough to do that. They've spent a lot of years building up their brand and business, and aren't reckless enough to put all of that at risk by relentlessly emailing their users with marketing agendas (if that's what they wanted to do they could have been doing that for years).

If they're suddenly in a different financial position, or change leadership, or for any of a number of different reasons, they could indeed go off a cliff like that.
I've been burned in too many interviews for this kind of homework garbage. I simply won't do it, if someone wants to waste 1-4 hours on something, go for it. My apps/etc I build should be enough to see my work.

I don't want to waste 1-4 hours for every job I apply to, especially when I'm not one of the final candidates. I'm often blown off for not being caucasian enough or liking whatever sportsball team or brand of music the rest of the crew is into. To often I feel I'm thrown into interviews because they need to interview 7-10 people. Same with interviews without phone screening, there are lots of questions I can ask that can save both me and the employer time and money by doing a phone screen first instead of driving to their place (mostly talking about 30+ minute or hour long drives). I've been burned too many times with things they forget to mention that make it a job not even worth my time (required 60hr work week, mandatory overtime, etc) things I can find out with a screening.

Nope, I know a lady who worked as an escort to pay for school. She enjoyed it, liked making money and ended up working as a manager booking appointments and stuff for the agency she worked for, including some fairly important government officials. She talked a lot about it to anyone that would listen and repeatedly said it was a great way to pay for school. She had zero regrets and said she would do it again if she ever needed money. I don't know for sure, but I don't think she was addicted to drugs.

A coworker of a friend of mine who works in the medical field also works as an escort on the side just for the money and fun of it. She's one of the ones that goes to parties and on dates with lonely rich people. She's been bought cars and jewelery paid vacations to tons of places.

Prisons often have incentives for good behavior and things prisoners can buy to make things more comfortable for themselves. Is your primary argument that earning more and paying more money for incentives will teach them how to budget money so they know how to do that after release, and that will increase their success upon release?

There is a difference between successfully legally challenging the lack of sufficient documentation for the transfer of a loan, and you not knowing who to pay the money back to. The fact that someone found a loophole doesn't make it right and doesn't mean the loan hasn't been transferred.
IIRC liens can stick to the property in some cases, rather than the owner. The purchaser would see that there is a lien and it would discount the price of the house.
An interesting exercise: assume the first engineering hire you want has to be at least the senior engineer bar at a top tech firm.

In order for the engineer's median compensation to match the median compensation he would make working at FANG, how much stock would you have to give them making reasonable assumption about valuations (ie, assume your start up will have a trajectory in the top 30% percentile, but not in the top 0.1%).
