Because wages for most people are tied to labor and time, and when you decrease the amount of time worked, you produce less labor. Convincing people with money to pay you more for less work is futile.

Why the hell would I pay more money to a contractor to work on my home for half the time? I don't understand this thinking. Believe it or not, there are people in the world that want to get shit done.

I fly quite a bit. I signed up for TSA pre. It typically takes me about 5m to get through a security lane and usually involves a walk through a metal detector. Shoes on; laptop in bag; no need to remove toiletries. It is a fast, efficient, and polite experience. I'm sure others have different experiences - or aren't willing/able to pay for the TSA pre program. But in general, I prefer my experience traveling domestically to passing through security internationally.

Wait wait, so let's use biometrics on people we already trust! I mean, not that TSA Pre-check is hard to get (airlines include it free for their best travelers after all) but give me a break government - you've already said these people are a-ok, so there's no point in this silliness.

This is an interesting question, but I don’t see its relevance here. In what way is Khashoggi’s murder connected to societal progress? If a heinous murder somehow moves society forward, that’s an interesting dilemma, but this was just a political murder for no benefit other than to soothe the egos of some powerful people.

It isn’t helpful to apply the same moral principles that you use in specific situations to generalize over the entire space of morality.

The thing is, dark energy is only dark because it doesn't interact electromagnetically, whereas black holes are dark because the light gets trapped. So these are very different concepts.

I think it's fair to say black holes are a kind of "star", but the concept of dark energy and dark matter are something else.
Again, I find it insane that you are calling someone saying that a group of people are not entitled to basic human rights and dignity a "disagreement". You have disagreements over what pizza toppings to get, not if you are allowed to decide if two people in love are allowed to marry.

> Right now, if there's a bug in feature x, everyone goes to the feature x "guy" to have it fixed. If that person gets hit by a bus, feature x is hosed.

I think it's admirable to want to spread knowledge around as much as possible, I think having individual developers "own" specific applications or features is a net benefit. Sure if a developer leaves, they take their knowledge with him and someone else has to get up to speed, but that will necessarily happen anyway.

There is only so much room in your brain; the more features or projects you work on, the less you remember about any of them. Being able to go to the feature X "guy" most likely means the problem will be solved significantly faster. That person's caches are already primed, the pages are loaded from disk, and they can hit ground running. That is a much better case to optimize for than the off chance somebody gets hit by a bus. We also know that multitasking is bad for productivity so the less people have to focus on the better.
TSA Precheck has made things much, much easier for frequent travelers -- those who aren't as concerned about their "constitutional rights" anyway. [0] Perhaps the business travelers that might revolt have already signed up, and know they're being tracked by some government entity whether they sign up for Precheck or not.

In many ways, Precheck feels like flying in the 90s. You know 24h in advance if you will be able to sail through security in < 5 minutes and can get to the airport much closer to departure.

This reminds me of the description texts in heraldry.

For example, the coat of arms of Finland:
"Gules, semy of roses argent, a lion rampant crowned Or trampling a sabre in base proper, his dexter foreleg in the form of a man's arm vambraced and embowed argent garnished Or bearing aloft a sword proper."

And somehow from this emerges a special lion with a sword through it's head: https://satwcomic.com/coat-of-arms

According to the TSA website, that means you submitted to "a 10 minute, in person appointment that includes a background check and fingerprinting." [0]

There is no reason why that should be required in order to fly without "harassment".

Ask HN: How to stop a government from censoring my website?
Hey,

So I run a website that invites journalists to submit articles and their keep anonymity. The problem is the country where the articles are targeted at (Saudi Arabia) is blocking my website. I think (don't trust me on this one) they're using some kind of a DNS blocking mechanism.

The site translates influential articles about freedom of expression and democracy, and allows people to submit their own articles.

Is there a practical way to _stop_ them from censoring the site?

Thank you.
Khashoggi himself warned about MBS's use of progressive reforms to distract from his rapid and often brutal consolidation of power. Progressive reform happens piecemeal because policy makers, activists, the public, etc have limited time, attention span, and emotional energy, but there must be an underlying cultural shift for it to last. Otherwise, it's just pandering that carries a great risk of hiding worsening atrocities - like KSA's war in Yemen or, as Khashoggi wrote in the posthumous WaPo article, MBS's crackdown on the press in general.

I mean, in a twist of macabre irony, many of the activists who led the push for reforms like letting women drive are now in prison. That doesn't sound like a government genuinely interested in reform.
I could not disagree more. Trading liberty for safety is not something we should ever do.

What is your stance on field sobriety testing?

That’s a pretty clear example of trading liberty for safety.
loved your analogy ;)
Is the widespread disenfranchisement of women and dependence on an economy that has disastrous effects on the environment not also a humanitarian crisis? If you were at the helm of a trolley-problem scenario, and you had to choose between equal rights for Saudi women and Khashoggi's death what would you choose? Personally, I wouldn't alter the lever either way. Both outcomes have a huge negative effect (disenfranchisement of millions on one end, murder on the other).

Of course, this isn't the situation we're in. There's no certainty that Bin Salman will follow through on his promises; there's no guarantee that it wouldn't have been possible without this killing. Again, the goal here isn't to try and justify any action - assassination of a journalist is barbaric, full stop. As I've spoken to people that have lived under governments often considered immoral (Middle Eastern countries as mentioned earlier, China is another example) I've reflected on how moralistic one should be when viewing the world outside of liberal democracies, and I want to share that reflection with others.

ViaSat-3 is 6400kg (Aka, a large sat) and placed in GEO. It is also using rad hard hardware and has significant redundancy. Comparing that to cube sats in LEO is like comparing apples and oranges. Small sats are... well small and generally equipped with COTS devices, which greatly drops the price. Also there is a significantly different cost to putting something in LEO vs GEO. (GEO costs several times more per kg)

I wonder what the GDPR implications of using this on international travellers from europe are?

What data are they collecting? What are they using to for? Who do they share it with? How can I request a copy of all my personal data? What's the process by which I notify them of errors in my data, and how quickly will they correct them? How do I request that they delete all my data?
Recent experience with the Cordova
I have not been everywhere, but Ben Gurion in Israel was worse than TSA. There’s some valid reason for that, but it can indeed be more intense than what TSA currently does.

In some countries, eg. here in the UAE, drivers have to employees. Most drivers are from India/Pakistan, so they need a VISA, and somebody has to sponsor it.

Also, a lot of countries have laws saying [taxi] drivers _have_ to be employees, irrespective of VISA stuff.
But they need to know you are you ... to know you are trusted.
While I'm pro-pair programming I totally understand these issues. The way I normally go about it is put it out there that I like pair programming. And if other people in the team feels the same way, usually that just clicks.

I definitely think PP shouldn't be mandated at all. I think too that some of the issues you bring up are very important - especially about the notion that the soft spoken person will usually have their ideas rejected. A lot of developers act in very peculiar ways often because software development shops can be very toxic. Instead of addressing that toxicity, most places end up with a few head honchos. It really is bad for companies actually and can lead to many great budding engineers to leave or get out of the profession, sadly.

There are large crowds of people in every city on planet Earth. Do you want a security check to be required to be out in public?
Actually, unless I'm missing something, what they are saying here comes in two parts:

1) You now have to include a photo, same as you would for a passport.

2) They will have photo lines for TSA where they recognize you from these photos, nominally to help make the lines faster.

So on one hand... you already have to provide a photo for a passport, so this is just bringing TSA Pre-Check into balance with that. But, on the other... could government waste anymore of my tax dollars? I mean - they already "trust" the people who receive pre-check AND the lines are never that long. So it's just more silliness.

Yep. Come to NJ. We just hired react ui developers in their early 50s and late 50s. They put hundreds of developers we have to shame.

Even in the case of private property, if the public is generally invited in, some constitutional rights can still apply:

...ownership "does not always mean absolute dominion." The court pointed out that the more an owner opens his property up to the public in general, the more his rights are circumscribed by the statutory and constitutional rights of those who are invited in.

In its conclusion, the Court stated that it was essentially weighing the rights of property owners against the rights of citizens to enjoy freedom of press and religion. The Court noted that the rights of citizens under the Bill of Rights occupy a preferred position. Accordingly, the Court held that the property rights of a private entity are not sufficient to justify the restriction of a community of citizens' fundamental rights and liberties.

Incidentally, this judgment could be relevant to questions around freedom of speech on monopoly online platforms (e.g. google search, youtube, twitter & facebook): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_v._Alabama

> Gules, semy of roses argent, a lion rampant crowned Or trampling a sabre in base proper, his dexter foreleg in the form of a man's arm vambraced and embowed argent garnished Or bearing aloft a sword proper.

Translation:

Gules: Red

Semy: Background

Roses argent: Silver roses

A lion: A lion

Rampant: Standing

Crowned Or: With a literal golden crown on its head ("Or" meaning "gold")

trampling a saber: stepping on a saber

in base proper: the saber should be colored normally

his dexter foreleg: The right "arm"

in the form of a man's arm: the right "arm" should be a man's

vambraced: wearing armor about the forearm

and embowed: bent

argent: silver

garnished Or: decorated with gold ("Or" meaning "gold")

bearing aloft: carrying

a sword proper: a sword colored normally

So, in normal speech, this is a basically a technical specification for:

1. The background should be red with silver roses

2. The foreground should be a standing lion

3. The lion should be wearing a golden crown

4. The lion should be standing on a sword, colored normally

5. The lion's right forearm should be a human's, armored

6. The armor of the forearm should be silver with gold decoration

7. The human-like right forearm should be bent and raised, carrying a sword

8. The sword should be normally colored

Anyone who knew heraldry when it was important would be able to take that description and churn out a reasonable facsimile of the crest.

The lion isn't stabbing itself in the head any more than a "suicide king" is.
