One of the many problematic things about criminal justice in the United States is this:

Many prosecutors and police officers feel that, even if you weren't guilty of this crime, you were probably guilty of something, the law just "caught up with you." so if a plausible case can be made against you they'll do it. And it's important to understand this isn't merely a cynical view held by these people: it's a strongly held conviction. Had Mr. Dixon been thoroughly exonerated at his original hearing, I can assure you both the arresting officer and prosecutor involved would be absolutely furious that he "got away with it"

Attempts to curtail this behavior are met with endless concern-trolling and belly-aching from DA and police departments, claiming it lets criminals roam free because they use these laws (civil liberties) to "cheat the system".

They are gas-lighting you, and don't want you to ask: how are a bunch of impoverished teens, who never completed high school, and likely never left a 6 block radius of where they grew up, somehow out-maneuvering politically powerful DAs with well-educated prosecutors backed up by well-funded militarized police departments? The constitution is powerful, but it's not that powerful.

Hi all, I've created an app (https://banter.fm) for sharing podcasts, seeing what your friends are listening to, and having conversations around them. You can also clip arbitrary chunks of an episode (up to 2 minutes) and share it (e.g. https://twitter.com/stevekrenzel/status/1040746982615076864). We generate videos that can be shared on Twitter, Instagram, etc..

The apps (Android and iOS) still have a few rough edges, but if you're a podcast enthusiast I'd love to hear what you think! Tech stack is react-native / apollo-graphql / postgres.

I am not questioning that what I presented is unbelievable; I am trying to confirm that the gun was indeed his. Who admitted it was his gun? It's obviously illegal, and the other guy confessed to the crime soon after. Did the shooter say it was the other guy's gun?
Looks like... It's just a Nitrokey Pro with different branding, nothing special. But this is how open hardware designs should work, and having multiple vendors is good.

edit: the hardware design is nearly identical, but not the firmware. See my follow-up post.
Correct.

Though setImmediate is specific to IE/Edge.

setTimeout(resolve, 0)

will allow any queued events/macrotasks to occur, and then immediately resolve.

requireAnimationFrame(resolve)

will wait until the browser is ready to render another frame, and then resolve.

I think there are a number of factors, that when combined, contribute to this behavior.

1. Access: we have our cell phones with us all the time. That wasn't true about cameras in the past.

2. Quality: early camera phones took lousy pictures so they were never going to be as useful as a real camera. Now that the quality is as good as the point and shoot digital cameras we used to use, phone cameras are a no-brainer replacement.

3. Social Connection: although we are less "connected" to friends and family now, people want to feel more connected and that's easy with photo sharing and social media platforms. So they document everything so they can share, or humblebrag, or whatever they're going to do on these platforms to feel some kind of human interaction; however shallow and trite that may actually be... the feeling is real.

4. Memory: I think we're becoming reliant on our phones and computers to augment our memory. When I was a kid, I knew everybody's phone number. Now, I don't remember anything that I can look up. I did not decide to do that, that's just what has happened. So, there is some legit need to photo/video things that are important, that we do want to make sure we "remember".

5. Cost: the cost of cameras and memory is much cheaper than it was even when camera phones started to become a thing.

This is more of an outlier, but the other thing is kids. Now that it's effectively free to take nearly unlimited photos and videos, I take a lot of my kids. I wish I had more photos and videos of my childhood. The funny thing is, my kids are still very young and even they love the photos and videos of themselves when they were even younger since they cannot remember those days at all.

So, we'll all have those fun memories from when they were learning to walk, talk, read, ride a bike, use alexa, etc. My daughter just scored her first goal in soccer last week and I must have watched that 10 second video over 100 times now. Admittedly, the photos and videos of my kids are close to the only ones that actually do get viewed later, and I share these with family and they legitimately get excited when they receive them since they live far away.

But I agree, we also need to be in the moment more.

The DNC may want to control the news, but they don't have anywhere near that kind of power. The outlets I listed span across the entire anglosphere.

As far as CNN... they saw what Fox was doing on the right and realized partisan pandering is more lucrative than impartial reporting. I honestly think that's likely to become worse over time.
Thank you for saying that.

I have only managed to vote twice in my life, in part because I don't want to pick a name at random and have been rather overwhelmed by events, yet I have had people give me a hard time about that, like it's my fault if bad candidates got elected because I didn't bother to pick a name at random.

And it always infuriates me to be told that I should vote anyway, even if it is random name picking.
> We used to have a limit in place where each representative in Congress had no more than 40,000 constituents.

Even if you erased state boundaries (if you don't, the actual number goes up a bit), that would lead to a minimum of 8,143 members in the House.

You'd, IMO, actually do more to improve quality of representation and less to make the House unwieldy if you kept the current number of districts and made each district a 5-member constituency with STV or a similar candidate-centered proportional method of election.

Considering this is HN, does anyone have any input on the latest GoPros vs Garmin Virb Ultra 30, specifically in terms of telemetry formats vs general camera quality? Garmin seems to be the data king here, but I'm curious as to whether the GoPro is perhaps the better camera, and if so, whether this could offset the differences between the data formats.

I should note that the telemetry is important for our usage, GPS logs especially.

We have two Ultra 30s at work (used in humid areas, mostly at walking speed) and with GPS turned on (obligatory) and 1440p/30fps video we get 90-110mins of continuous footage before the battery is completely drained. Longer battery life would be nice and every now and then we get hiccups/glitches (looks like frames are skipped) with the setting above. Doesn't invalidate the footage in any way and it's rare, but still annoying. Could be a firmware bug, really. Audio is so-so, but that is to be expected (we haven't tried external microphones yet, since the setup needs to be as simple as possible).

Would a GoPro help with any of the above or is it a similar experience in terms of battery etc? If anything, the GoPro seems more rugged (for our needs, the Virb needs a case). What about video quality? Interface? (I did read DC Rainmaker's comparison[0] which was what made us choose the Virb, together with the fact that there's an SDK for FIT and at the time of purchase GoPro didn't have a Github repo[1])

GoPro's GPMF data is embedded within the video file, whereas Garmin's FIT[2] format is separate and is logged to whether one is recording or not as long as the camera is turned on. Both have their pros and cons, FIT seemingly being the more flexible format (it's basically a big timeline with events attached) but one also needs to identify what part of the data stream corresponds to which video session and it's not as "linear" to read as GPMF (?). In FIT every single logged coordinate is also timestamped (10Hz GPS), whereas it seems that you only get one timestamp/second for GPMF coordinates (18Hz GPS).

I wrote a little parser to extract and integrate the relevant telemetry data elsewhere and have started looking at doing the same for GPMF (I wanted to write it from scratch in a language I'm learning). Since I have no recent GoPro at hand it's been difficult finding raw samples for the GoPro, other than the GPFM GitHub repo - youtube won't suffice since I need the original video with the telemetry intact.

Man, I thought this was going to be an article on better code reviews and how to get better feedback from people you work with regarding your performance.

Instead the article is some strange "self-help"/"hustle-hard" blogspam, quoting Malcolm Gladwell and shading a picture of the normal distribution and pretending it's arrived at some brilliant insight.
Yes, it gets really complicated. I also don't know. Maybe there's no nice answer.

Regrettably, people who write company policies and federal laws aren't always so ready to admit their own ignorance.
Side comment: We had a situation here where there was a candidate for a judge, whose name was Uno. (He was ethnically Japanese.) Well, in one of the counties where his name was on the ballot, Hispanics were more than 5% of the population. The election rules required that, for such counties, the ballot instructions be written in Spanish as well as in English. For the judgeship in question, voters were to vote for only one candidate. The translation of that instruction into Spanish was "Vota para uno"!

Note well: I am not saying that citizens who don't speak English shouldn't vote.
A New Utility Library Designed to Get Things Done
One piece of evidence may be to look at the falcon series. I wouldn't say they slowed development of the series so that they could use their older, already established versions. In fact, they designed block 5 to be even better on re-usability, which would increase profit margins by decreasing cost of refurbishment. At the same time, they rendered many of their pending falcon heavy flights unnecessary, as they continually incrementally improved the falcon's payload capacity and thrust. If anything, that may have been a boon economically, because using FH for those same launches would require waiting many additional months to receive that revenue.

So, overall, I'd say SpaceX specifically was pushing towards better margin products pro-actively, rather than dragging their feet on R&D to milk an older cash cow.
1. Try your network. You probably know someone who works in these areas. You could ask them to speak with them.

2. Ask for their portfolio/employment history. Then ask for references for those projects/jobs. This will whittle down 90% of candidates as many don't have prior experience they can show, or any references.

3. Contract to hire.
Give them a 2 week to 1 month shot at delivering results you like, and then hire them. Assumedly are not a huge company (sounds like you have no other similar role holders to interview the new recruits) so you don't need to take the responsibility of hiring people with the huge risk that comes with that. Give them a paid trial. Or depending on your state and risk tolerance, hire fast and fire fast.

If they hid evidence, that, by definition wasn’t neglect, but a willful action (to hide.)

That should result in the loss of one’s license to practice at minimum and ideally, a referral to a special prosecutor for possible indictment. Contempt of court with jail time also should be on the table.

I am not a lawyer. I grew up in NJ but I'm more familiar with the policies of Nevada gambling firms.

But, I have a perhaps-unreasonable amount of confidence in my understanding of regulator-regulatee dynamics. I further think FanDuel competently understood their legal environment before making their statements defending the non-payment to the press. (If their experts knew they'd eventually have to pay anyway, why take the PR hit?) And finally, I believe that on general principles of fairness, such blatant errors should be voidable.

So, would you like to bet me $20, even-money, that your "FanDuel is gonna lose this one" prediction comes to pass? Me, a rando non-lawyer armchair commenter, versus your many credentials, familiarity-with-the-gambling-regs, and confirming opinions from other NJ lawyers?

You win if FanDuel ever pays this bettor the full $82,610 – whether due to public outcry or any action by relevant legal authorities. I win if the bettor accepts a settlement for less, such as the tokens-of-apology that FanDuel has already offered.
If there are "tons that are factually wrong" and have not been corrected, perhaps you link to a few of those examples?

The point of a tryout version is to allow you to try the software, in order to make you buy the software.

For some people (e.g. people who have delayed sleep-phase syndrome), a dark theme is essentially an accessibility requirement. They won't be able to try the software if it doesn't have it.

Imagine a piece of software where the demo version doesn't have screen-reader support. Would that make sense? How do you expect a blind person demo the software?
Initializing the policy to random and performing thousands of trials is just about the simplest implementation of "AI" you could possibly ask for.

How does that matter? If the information is gathered on Reddit in an accessible, helpful and easy to understand way, it doesn't matter whether you get there from hacker news, SO, google, bing or through browsing Reddit. It's still on Reddit.
there's a sizeable population of different political opinions in the hacking (both sec and non-sec) community. Sounds like the author is a libertarian or anarchist of some kind. When I was more involved in said community about 10 years ago, anti-authoritarian stances like these were the norm, so attempting to exclude people with these views is going to mean excluding a lot of people.

Democrats are not convinced Republicans have an advantage in technical skill or available domestic technical workforce, they are convinced that there is an assymetry between parties in the willingness to partner with hostile foreign powers and engage in criminal methods of cyberwarfare in pursuit of electoral victory, which mitigates the advantage Democrats believe they retain in lawful use of technology.

If that's the case, and any of us (HN readers) are within those 2 hops, I bet a lot of us would look very suspicious just by our nature. At least when viewing online habits are concerned. How many of us have multiple online personalities, or opposite with very little social presence? How many of us go out of our way to avoid online tracking? How many of us use tools like TOR or even VPN, use encrypted apps to chat, etc? After all, only the guilty try to hide things. You must be a spy worth further scrutiny.

Adopting an extreme view to illuminate the argument, perhaps there is no such thing as free will.
$99 is peanuts considering how much most devs make and it’s something that you’re likely to be using at least 5-7 days a week — even in the case of weekdays only (260 days/year), you come out at about $0.38/day. The sublime guys aren’t dropping major new releases often, either, so that $99 is likely going to last you for 2-3 years minimum, making the price even more incredibly cheap.
Well, apparently he gave the killer (his "body guard") the weapon and drove him to the scene of the crime. Yes, it sounds like there was some bad behavior on the part of the prosecutor, but it's not clear to me that someone who drove the murderer to the scene and gave them the weapon to kill someone wouldn't culpable in the murder as well.
That's not obvious to everybody. Even in this post there is mention that Shrodinger's cat is somehow different from Shrodinger's scientist.

And I've seen serious physicist lecturers claim that even recorded measurement didn't cause collapse because recording was not seen by anyone.

This is completely bonkers and misticism is the right word for it.

People who invented the thing are to blame. Why call something 'observation' if you mean interaction with macroscopic object.

And why make the fuss about Shrodinger's cat?
Modern meat, save the expensive grass fed stuff, isn't even that nutrient dense. With the exception of B12, which you can get from mushrooms/nutritional yeast/supplemented, everything else is available in sufficient quantities. I'm not even vegetarian, but meat's nutritional value is highly overrated. Agree with you on lack of micronutrients and genetic modifications making things harder to digest and begetting chronic disease though. Source: worked in meat industry tech for 4 years.

This is fine when you get to a certain level. You don't sound to be at that level yet.

If you can support yourself there, fine, minimize your expenses. If not, get back to your own region for 6 months - 1 year while you level up on your development skills and get a remote job locked in or have some savings. It's hard to learn while under stress, and anything in life has a certain amount of luck to it. Additionally, some of the best developers have trouble finding remote gigs because they don't know how to market themselves. Sounds like you a lacking a little of both so don't beat yourself up, but level up in both areas.

Good luck.
The respective pros and cons of EIS & OIS don't change with light level. EIS works by cropping part of the image which results in a narrower FoV and a lower resolution, however these effects occur regardless of how bright the scene is.

The additional moving parts of OIS systems make them less suitable for ruggedized cameras.

That's true. But my problem is - what else can I do? I have no other qualifications. I'm currently doing translations and it's extremely boring. It's just a part-time job and I could never see myself do this full-time. I tried other things, too, but nothing can compare to coding. Although I often got frustrated, there were also many times when finished a day of coding, went to bed and couldn't wait to start again the next morning. I never felt this way with any other job I did. Another comment mentioned customer support. I guess I will give that a try.
