The police should take the samples for analysis as they did. It is the procedure I expect from them in this case.

If a bank robber was killed during a bank heist, you would still investigate who planned the robbery wouldn't you?
LA is not providing any money for the Rams/Chargers stadium, nor did it pay for any part of the LA Football stadium. We told the teams they could build a stadium if they wanted the second-largest media market in the US to call home, or they could shove it. They did the math and now LA has 2 football teams and 2 futbol teams.

I think SELinux addresses this problem pretty well, but there is no real requirement to give access to developers for a production database when a development database could be setup with test data. I'm not arguing that this is a great idea for IT, but trust has been an issue from the beginning and there are more than a couple of solutions with varying degrees of quality.

Average roofer pay is 18.53, average amazon warehouse pay is 13.50. Good roofers in a hot market (currently) can get well over 20.

There seems to be this bubble of thinking on HN that hard labor jobs don't pay well. The reality is they pay more than your average IT Support job. They are in demand because they can't find people willing to do the work. Another example is electricians. Some electrician companies are so desperate for skilled electricians that they are paying their retirees to come out of retirement and still allowing them to keep pension benefits. Another one is plumbing, etc.

Jobs can be unpleasant and still decent.

6 guys, 8 hours? Seems reasonable. The Amazon way would be 4 guys working 16 hours, but I’m rotating shifts so that you don’t have to pay OT, but knowing that the rotation is such that people won’t leave the job site. And when somone goes 1-minute over their 15 minute break they are fired and replaced on the spot.

Amazon treats people as inanimate objects completely devoid of humanity.

This. If you want to attract business by having low taxes those low taxes should apply to ALL businesses (i.e the actual tax rate should be low), not just the ones big enough to negotiate their own rate. This mark it up to mark it down nonsense just hurts the small players.

Unpleasant does not equal exploitative. Amazon is unpleasant and exploitative.
>I was identified as being "dyslexic" as a child, I had difficulty learning to read...Alternate hypothesis: I'm not dyslexic and was misdiagnosed... dyslexia sounds like a pretty arbitrary category.

It isn't arbitrary, but the definition is so broad that it is almost meaningless. It isn't even a category of disorders that are grouped by symptoms, they are grouped by how those symptoms manifest themselves when trying to read. Basically you have dyslexia if you have trouble reading or learning to read, have normal intelligence, and don't have any vision issues. Therefore the only real way to be misdiagnosed with it is if there is some other more specific undiagnosed disability that impacts intelligence or if there is some undiagnosed vision problem like not identifying a child needs glasses. It also means it is possible that taking a different approach to learning "cured" you of your dyslexia.
Sigh.

Copying my comment from below:

Please note that an "active user" is an active address( i.e one that has made a bet on the platform) in the past day.
This doesn't take into account users that made a bet in the past( most bets have long term horizons, >4 to 5 months) or users that have a current position but aren't betting anymore or users simply observing the markets( looking at a front end like predictions.global)

Also note that active users is probably not a great metric for this application, as it's not a consumer app/ time sink thing.

Money at stake is much a better metric
For the customer, number 2 would be the best to skip, but it is the worst for the developer as they cannot really sell an unbuilt house easily, while they get to pay the debt or such leverage plus construction company.

They also cannot do 3 as the budgets are super tight already.

Here's an Intel spokesperson commenting on the issue: https://twitter.com/imadsousou/status/1030260566483496960
"However, the 2017 survey showed a decline in households reporting concerns and avoiding certain online activities compared with the 2015 survey, which first asked these questions. The proportion of online households reporting privacy or security concerns fell from 84 percent to 73 percent during this period. Similarly, the proportion of online households that said privacy concerns stopped them from doing certain online activities dropped from 45 percent to 33 percent."

I was curious about how much that'd cost. At least for SC, it was estimated at ~4 billion [0] in early 2017. There's a proposal saying they could raise ~600 million of that per year by increasing the gas tax by 10 cents/gallon. I don't know where that proposal went, if anywhere.

I get the feeling that there has been a lot of low-hanging optimization fruit in .NET that went unaddressed because a) the original compiler was too complicated to change and b) there was no pressure to improve it because it only ran on Windows and there were no real competitors.

a) was addressed by Roslyn, which is apparently much more manageable, and now that .NET is supposed to run everywhere, it has to have competitive performance. Hence the big gains.

That's ultimately the problem with tips. It ends up being about coercion, and extracting the maximum amount from customers.

Besides the issue of people trying to convince you that the "standard" tip amount is an ever higher amount, new industries try to add tipping. Notice tip jars appearing everywhere.

The new prevailing sentiment is that concentration of corporations - Walmart, Amazon and other large chains - in pretty much every industry is what is keeping the wages depressed. It's mind-boggling even for economists that the unemployment rate is a mere 4% and yet the wages haven't appreciated meaningfully (there's only a marginal increase so far).
It is, but I wonder what they're measuring on Y-axis. I just says `(actual values omitted)`.
I can't say that I fully agree with that. The Amazon store and AWS have made a lot of stuff possible that otherwise might not have been possible. AWS for example gives out free services to startups, some of which might have major impact on many lives.

Sure, I'm playing the devil's advocate here, but in the end it's also really hard to define what is 'good spending' on tax dollars. For all we know, Amazon venturing into health care will end up being a great substitute for socialized health care. It could become Bezos' ultimate philanthropy. It could also be what gives him super villain-like power over the US.

The process you're describing in this comment is exactly the outdated approach people are saying they don't want to do.
Yes, it works very well but not for the 'wisdom of the crowds' effect. It works because the people with the most information and best models sharpen up the price. Over time, the sharpest bettors grow their bankrolls or capital exponentially and place larger bets and have a disproportionate weight on the markets and their opinions matter more, making markets more efficient.
As someone above already mentioned — the whiteboards themselves also convey the message of “something is wrong, you may want to verify this info” very well.

I've always been intellectually fascinated by Lisp, but would NOT want to use it in a production (team) environment. It has two problems:

First, is that it's too "meta" in that one can shape it to be just about anything they want. This can make it difficult for others to read your code, for they have to know your mind's style. Our typical "office" languages tend to hard-wire idioms, such as control structures (if, while, case, try, etc.) which make it easier for other readers to digest. It may be less parsimonious (more code), but it's overall easier for an outsider to come in and read it.

Second is that nested lists are the wrong base structure for humans. Our natural languages are closer to maps or ordered maps (AKA "associative arrays"), not nested lists. I was working with others at the C2.com wiki to form something similar for maps: a meta-heavy map-oriented language. We nicknamed the project "MASP". C2 fell apart, but I have some new ideas for MASP that I may write up one of these days.

MASP may never go mainstream because of its heavy meta-ing, but could be great for experimental, hobby, and rush-to-market startup projects. Paul Graham has said Lisp's meta ability gave him an edge in the "stores race". Being first-to-market matters in dot-com-ville more than team-friendly code.

Has opposition to ISO 29119 really died down?
If a company wants to operate in a certain jurisdiction, it has to respect its laws, whether it agrees with them or not. There is simply no way around it. And you could argue, that Chinese democracy is better off with iOS devices even as they are today, than without them at all.
The idea is that they create an incentive to discover all possible information that may effect the price of the stock in the future, and so the eventual market price ends up reflecting all that information. That in turn lets people use that price as a signal for how to allocate capital and make decisions in the future.

It's not that they're totally accurate, it's that they're as accurate as it is possible to be. Why? Because if you knew of a better way to determine the truth, you would do so, trade on that information, bump up (or down, if shorting) the price to reflect that information, and take your profits so you could do so again. Conversely, if you're just trading randomly, somebody with better information will take all your money and you won't be able to continue trading.

The price that's reflected in a market could be considered residual uncertainty that nobody knows, i.e. if the prediction market for "Will Donald Trump win the 2020 election ?" sells at $0.60 on the $1.00, it means that after all the market participants have crunched their models, aggregated their polls, gone out and canvassed neighborhoods, ran their economic analyses, spoken to campaign insiders, and whatever else they can do, the equilibrium price assumes he has a 60% chance of winning. You don't have to actually perform all those information-gathering tasks to figure this out, you can assume that other people have been incentivized to do so and their results are now reflected in the price.
It's pretty easy to pull off.

Step 1: Make a threat about jobs/money to get lawmakers to pay attention.

Step 2: Get favorable legislation passed. Hold hands with lawmakers in photo-op for the papers.

Step 3: Stall on delivering on promises until lawmakers leave office or come up with excuses.

Step 4: Profit.

Oh, but they do. Ask your housekeeper, your kid's teacher or if you want to be statistical, literally any random person on the street. Everyone I've ever talked to, from all walks of life, has a first-hand story or knows someone who does. To be fair, my experience is mostly from the Sao Paulo/ABCD area. Maybe things are not that bad outside of Sao Paulo and Rio, and if so, good for them.

> Também, pare de tentar me educar sobre o meu próprio país

If I came across that way, I apologize. That was not my intention.

I feel like it's fine to wish to have one more tool at your disposal if you are responsible and a financially well enough to get a gun for self-defense, but I also feel that it won't really help in the grand scheme of things, for the same reason that having a switchblade in your pocket is not the greatest idea right now. I knew a burly someone who was with his just-as-burly cop dad during a bank robbery. They -along with 30 other people- did not react, and later when he asked his dad why, his response was "well aren't you glad to be alive now". Maybe there are cases where a gun can help, but there are also cases where it won't and cases where legal gun ownership might just become another avenue for guns to get into wrong hands. There are an overwhelming number of cases where you just don't know what will happen. I'm not convinced pro-gun-ownership laws are going to be a net positive, precisely because things are so out of control, as you said yourself. You disagree, and that's fine.

> The overwhelming majority don't need one and shouldn't be carrying one.

Personally, with the idea in mind that I wanted to protect myself and not necessarily worry or care about the vast majority of the population, I took a route that I believe is far more effective to protect myself and completely orthogonal to the possibility that my political view might make things worse for those 200M+ people: I left Brazil.
"lifting" is a common optimization -- moving a computation from inside a loop to outside. It can make a huge difference in numerical functions. For instance, consider the JS code:

for (let i=0; i<a.length; i++) {
a[i] = a[i]*2
}

Without lifting, every time through the loop it has to check that a is an array and (i >= 0 && i < a.length). Lifting lets the compiler move all the checks before the loop and do them once. It's nontrivial to check that the truth value of the check can't possibly change during the loop.
Cheers. I should do something with it at least.
Absolutely. This is a sign that the system is working. Amazon doesn't have a monopoloy on jobs that allows it to pay dramatically under market for warehouse workers.

Roofing especially in a hot climate is harder more demanding work than a warehouse job. And it pays considerably more.

I'm not entirely sure why you are being downvoted. The statements may not be entirely true and a bit volatile, but it's been my experience to a large extent. One of the things I like about docker, flatpak, etc. is that it allows for entire apps and dependencies to be encapsulated together. Less interruption and down time fixing things.

When I use Linux as my main OS, I lose about a day or so every other month to dealing with upgrade/update fallout. It's discouraging to say the least. With Windows, it's been about every other year, and macOS every major version gives me a little grief for something. Both far less frequent than any Linux distro I've used.

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy using linux, that said, I still have very weak trust of it as my primary desktop/laptop OS. I use all three regularly.
