This argument boils down to "What I'm doing is evil, but someone else would do it if I refused, so I might as well get paid for it." It's basically the Nuremberg Defense, but without even the threat of punishment, only desire for profit.

To answer your question: the police officer may not be evil, but she's certainly doing evil. It may be possible to make a coherent argument that the harm done is outweighed by the good the cop can do in her community if she toes the line and keeps her job. I don't think you can make that argument when the harm is "willingly abetting an oppressive government on a massive scale" and the benefit is "we make a whole bunch of money."
I’ve been pulled over four times in my driving history. All my interactions with the cops were pleasant and professional.
You're looking for funding in the wrong place. You should be in California's Central Valley. Sure, there's not the flood of startup capital you'll find in the Bay and you'll probably need to bootstrap initially. But you will be taken seriously and you'll be in daily contact with your customers while you iterate on your product. Then you can show the VC's in the valley real traction and a tangible market.
The why of trigger point therapy is almost certainly wrong, but the results are unquestionable.

> unpaid internships are both obviously beneficial to those who take them and ah, skirting the law to all parties’ benefit.

Unpaid internships are a great way to gate off poor people from high-paying jobs. No matter how beneficial they are to the intern, if said intern can't afford rent and food while on your internship it's simply not an option for them. Unpaid internships have no place in a society that wants to consider itself a meritocracy because the primary qualification for an unpaid internship is not merit but a well-off family.

I really don't see how C# is decent anymore, can someone change my mind? I was all about it in the 2010-2013 days, but over time it just became more bloated and bloated. It's the new C++, where it tries to be everything for everyone.

Every time a new version comes out theres a 500 page tome of all the new features added. Did we really need all those features? I would love it if I saw a new version of a language come out and it removes language features, wouldn't that be a change!

It still has all the annoyances of java (the first thing you see in any C# file is a laundry list of imports), I am not convinced the profiling tooling is better. I will preface this with I am still bitter about the initial .NET core rollout which was a crapshoot and had no parity whatsoever with .NET Framework.
Not at all, in my opinion.

While it is true that there are poorly-trained and malicious cops in the USA (and anywhere in the world), the reports that go viral are very much in the minority. That doesn't diminish how tragic they are, however.

It really upsets me that people in our country grow up thinking that law enforcement officers may not be the people to go to when they need assistance. It is an issue that permeates into various others—for example, in light of the Kavanaugh circus, who would go to law enforcement to report sexual assault if they feel (or have been told they will be) discriminated against?

A very sad state of affairs...and it can't be solved with dynamic programming. :(
Thank you for showing me that...Made my night.

Having a staging environment is pretty standard these days. We set one up from day one at our startup. It doesn't really take much effort and your app benefits from being decoupled from the domain. This allows you to run app instances concurrently without relying on domain specific details. It also allows you to physically test changes before pushing to production.

I can hardly see how a staging environment is "recommending big company super risk averse solutions at a startup, which is just silly". A staging environment has never slowed us down; if anything it gives us the confidence to push to master sooner.
Generally not. Unfortunately civil forfeiture is a thing. There are many stories, frankly 1 is more than enough, where people are driving with cash because either they, or their business partner, prefers/only-can-take cash. The police say you are a criminal intent on an illicit transaction. They seize your money. They hold the money on separate charges than you. If you lack the wherewithal to sue for your money back, you forfeit it. The money is then spend on things like guns, tanks, and margarita machines.

While this single link does not argue for all the expenditures, it does show the corruption in the system. https://www.forbes.com/sites/instituteforjustice/2014/06/05/...
I've been pulled over maybe 5 times over the years (headlight out, expired license plate sticker) and I have yet to have a bad experience with them. They have always been friendly and I've never actually gotten a ticket, even on a time where I didn't have up to date proof of insurance in my car.

People just don't usually write about the 99.9% of occurrences when nothing eventful happens. And many of the people who do have issues with the police provoked them by intentionally being difficult and/or rude.

It's an extremely divisive issue.

Traffic stops are more hazardous for the police in the US compared to other countries where guns are not as common. Interactions are thus more tense.

But where it really gets divisive is about racial disparities in policing including who gets pulled over how often. There have been many protests movements about this going back many decades, and of course they are still active today. Some people, however, do not believe that those protest movements have a basis.
I worked with a start-up where owner confessed he is just looking to get out as quickly as possible. We were not supposed to build processes that would slow down the development at the cost of huge technical debt - but that wouldn't be for him to worry. He did have a number of hires so that on paper it would look nice to investors. We had an experienced and old CEO whose job was to smile and drink with investors, number of developers to fiddle with code, two senior devs that were doing actual coding and a devops guy who spent time on Reddit and baby sitting juniors so they don't break the app too badly when deploying to production and marketing team that was making up ideas what they could shoe next to investors. Company was paying "customers" to use the product. I left early when I realised the equity package is made up. I'd say run! Not worth your reputation.
>> At a company meeting to discuss the incident, one attendee reportedly asked whether safety drivers were on the road too long, and was told that drivers can take a break whenever they need to.

I hope they also have reasonable mandatory breaks. It would seem that there is pressure to stay on the road as long as your peers. Which could lead to drivers not taking breaks when they should.
In the newer C# features there is a lot of syntax sugar, and you don't really have to use them. I don't think it is any more bloated than in 2013, and most C# code bases wont look much different to back then.
I've been pulled over once (surrounded by 6 cop cars at a later date because I think they were bored). I was told by mother to let the office leave first. I sat. I waited as a white man in my white Honda Civic with a parking permit to a known-in-that-area Christian University. The office loaded a shotgun (that was fun to watch), then came to my car to ask if I was planning anything. I explained the situation. He told me to leave.

I am not saying that people aren’t using desktops to do work. What I’m saying that relatively few companies are putting money into writing desktop software. The jobs are limited compared to writing web based software.

If I ever got back into desktop software, it would be highly specialized low level C/C++ code and not WPF/Sharepoint/UWP software.
The 2000s were a big era for improved safety. The NHSTA began studying and testing a wider variety of different crashes events and used ATDs (crash test dummies) designed to simulate women and children. Side-impact airbags became mandatory equipment in the USA in 2007 and electronic stability control in 2008.

It's not something people realize because they think car safety improvements slowed/stopped once airbags became widespread. But really, the mid 2000s are when cars began to get very safe. By 2011, the NHSTA had to make their star rating system much more strict because nearly every car had a achieved a five star rating.
Would you please not post flamebait to HN, or use it for political battle?

"Internet Routing Architectures" from Cisco Press is not a bad start, if slightly dated.

More practically, study the data kept at peeringdb.com, bgp.he.net, bgp4.as, radb.net, and ripe.net for concrete examples of what details are important.

Peerings may be unilateral (someone pays), bilateral (no one pays), or multilateral (everyone pays a little to exchange routes on a single route server). Most companies rely on unilateral peerings to gain direct access to the Googles and Microsofts of the world, and these tend to have certain requirements: either you must pay money, or your autonomous system (AS) must achieve some daily average of traffic bound for the peer AS. PeeringDB is a good resource for discovering these requirements before contacting potential peers.

I hope this helps. Best of luck to you in the travails of working with highly distributed, stateful systems you can't touch; it's a real shit show out here.

Where did you learn that the whole point of peer review is to detect fraud?

The Wikipedia article on peer review says "Peer review...occasionally detects fraud, but is not designed to do so."[1]

The article cites a Nature article that says "Peer review is not currently designed to detect deception, nor does it guarantee the validity of research findings. It should, however, identify flaws in the design, presentation, analysis and interpretation of science and provide prompt, detailed, constructive criticism to improve research."

The man is an amazing endurance athlete in general. Highly recommend checking out his story.

I'll trust whoever I want, and that includes the FDIC insured banking system. This is an incorrect use of the term "should" which implies obligation.

That makes absolutely no sense at all. The entire discussion is about an expensive electric car. Of course it's not going to be seen in working class suburbs.

I have no idea what you're on about with it being one of the wealthier suburbs either. It's not on any list I can find online. As I said, I moved here recently, and still learning demographics, but it seems like a pretty average inner city suburb. If you head over to St Kilda proper, then sure, there's some crazy houses there, but there's also housing commission and junkies and students and backpackers everywhere too.
You're trying to do too much but moving too slow.

You're asking for permission instead of just doing things.

You wrote up a huge document? This is a startup not an enterprise!

What's the worst thing that can happen? prod breaks right? Make sure it's being backed up! Teach them to tag the branches before merging into master, at least they can have a reference to rollback. Make sure rollback on master can happen with one command.

Build the stage without permission, make it a CI/CD. Show them, taadaah! When you push, you can go test on stage, see? huge documents, calendars? meetings? this is a fast growing startup, all your ideas are great but you are executing it too slow and slowing everyone else down that's why the push back is happening.

> Maybe you don’t have a “main screen.” A lot of devices don’t. For example, servers, NASes, or smart speakers. Or maybe your main screen is just not made for display of text at the level of detail required—like a smartwatch, or an IoT device like a thermostat, or even a jumbotron/billboard computer that’s too big to see up close.

>In a lot of these cases, it should be pretty obvious that there are also no permanent input peripherals attached to the target device, and perhaps not enough ports to conveniently plug them in.

You are now describing almost the opposite of your original scenario, which was plugging ancillary devices into a PC to see the kernel messages of the PC.

>So, tell me what’s more convenient: lugging a secondary display, mouse and keyboard around to plug into your devices to debug them? Or just plugging your laptop into the server and opening a terminal emulator?

That's a weird response when I was the one arguing for having one screen instead of two.

> Oh, and one more advantage: if you’ve ever tried writing your own kernel driver or unikernel

Oh of course but that's <1% of the time.

I'm sure you can find inconsistencies because other people/businesses are better clients, don't pain a target on themselves, and if they break rules they aren't so blatant about it.
I did checked GAB's site and I can confirm that this place was full of racism and hateful comments towards anyone who believe their ideas.

> The reality is that Americans will do any job, provided they are fairly compensated.

To the extent this is true, I think it's tautological.

At some point, much of American labor was manual. People's notion of a fair wage for that was not high, and the work was accepted as normal. But now there are a lot of people who work in offices, and much manual labor is now way easier than agricultural work. There's also a broad (but not universal) societal expectation that people shouldn't have to destroy their bodies at work. So I think the perceived "fair" compensation for this has risen dramatically. And I think the number of people willing to spend 14 hours a day, 6 days a week [1] doing that work at any price is much smaller than before.

And honestly, I think that's great. We should find ways to turn every job that people don't want to do over to robots.

I love how this argument gets applied to unions but not to companies. Many companies have killed themselves through greed and short-term thinking, yet you are not arguing that something is wrong with corporate structure.

Ultimately every human organization is prone to screwing up - unions are not at all unique here - but in the US unions often get singled out as a boogey man that hurts the economy.
Stripe shuts down Gab.ai

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I've tried to make the numbers work. It would cost a quarter as much as what I pay in gasoline, sure, but that's because I don't drive an efficient car. If I compare it to something that actually gets good mileage it ends up being more like 1/2. Nice, but not enough to offset the up front capital cost anytime soon.

As for maintenance... well, Tesla doesn't exactly have a great reputation there. Lots of people with multiple motor swaps, random problems with everything from door handles to the doors themselves, etc. I don't think I would take the bet that it's actually cheaper to maintain than a German car, and that's saying something :-).
