From what I can tell, "voluntary parting" appears to be an insurance term not a legal one. Basically, it's just an exclusion on insurance coverage - you experience a loss under these circumstances, we won't cover it. The author is confusing insurance coverage with the law and claiming it was "legally stolen," which is nonsense.

Saw an article about a jewelry company gave a million and a half dollars worth of inventory to a fake armored car company and their insurance company denied the claim due to this exclusion and it was upheld on appeal, ouch.

They say it's a standard exclusion

>There are no gear rental insurance providers that cover voluntary parting when the renter purchases the policy. This treatment of voluntary parting is standard in the insurance industry and is not unique to KitSplit.

(I'm guessing a policy that covers "voluntary parting" is cost prohibitive. I guess it sorta makes sense - otherwise you wouldn't have an incentive to vet anyone.)

As an aside, I encourage everyone to always read their full insurance polic(ies), misunderstanding about insurance coverage is common.
I am always shocked when I go to Singapore because when I was a child in the 1960s Singapore was no different from any other southeast asian city: muddy river banks, discarded rubbish everywhere, boats unloaded by hand, and street hawkers (with amazing food) cooking food on gas rings from their bikes.

Love them or hate them, but you have to admit LKW and the PAP just got to work and transformed the place. But somehow managed to keep the good food (though the food in Ipoh remains the best).
I'd use afl or a word mutation engine and the google api, starting with a list of mathematical terms, and mutate them until you got something with zero results that you like.

for example z combined with kmeanset as one word in quotes finds no results.

P.S - I never heard the term “idiological tangents” before. According to Google you are the only one using it. I’d say that’s a Wofelooperga.

Read the statute and it's obvious why the police had no interest in pursuing this, the burden for intent is basically impossible to meet in that jurisdiction.

This appeal by insurance companies to Voluntary Parting may be legal but it's wrong.

Suppose you are in Disneyland with your $4,500 camera. Someone comes up to you, pulls out a gun, and says, "Give me your camera." So you do. Is that not theft? Now suppose instead someone comes up to you and offers to take a picture of you and your family but then runs off with your camera. Somehow this falls outside of normal insurance and is called Voluntary Parting. This is ironic because the first instance is actually more voluntary, because at least you knew what was happening.

I suppose this began in the insurance industry to stop the bleeding by naive owners, who entrusted their stuff to someone that the average person would not. But it seems to me that this could have been dealt with in a clause about negligence, which is an established legal topic. There is no need to lie by calling it Voluntary.

Either way, I believe the writer's parting was neither voluntary nor negligent. KitSplit should cover it if the renter runs off with the gear --- or else make it abundantly clear that you need insurance and that you need to explicitly ask your insurance company for the extra coverage for "Voluntary Parting."

What you are talking about is completely plausible with today's technology (thank you Uber for proving it). And I don't think that your comment is unfair by any stretch...

...But there is still no reason why a self driving car cannot avoid everything once we have enough data. There are no surprises with self driving vehicles, for anything that could happen, we have access to that information long before it does happen (I believe waymo is touting 300 yards-ish => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8R148hFxPw&feature=youtu.be...). A car doesn't need 300 yards time to stop. it needs less 200 ft (or 274 meters) at full speed. If you see someone that even could create an accident, you just slow down till its not possible to kill someone. (yes I know there are limitations to the current technology)

So assuming that we have the sensor data (full coverage, at a distance, real time), and the models are capable of including these edge cases you referenced (e.g. people jumping out in the road). Why would we need to choose who to kill? Why would this decision be necessary?
Could it be they damaged your order en-route and preferred literally eating the cost of your delivery instead of taking the ratings hit?

At least I've never had a DoorDash driver cancel an order... I'd be pretty pissed if I had planned dinner for the family via delivery and gotten denied at the last minute.
Data Lakes, Data Factories, and event hubs just sound like gobbledygook to me and if they are “exactly the same as thier underlying concepts”, those concepts mean no more to me than the term “serverless” mean to the uninitiated and I’ve been developing professionally for over 20 years. It’s the developers responsibility to pick up on industry jargon just like I had to do a year ago as the Dev lead when the company I worked for wanted to “move to the cloud”. I thought AWS was just a bunch of VMs a year ago.

I had heard of “Nosql” two years ago but I didn’t know what it was until I was hired to implement two projects on top of Mongo. Did I complain about the use of the term “NoSql” every time someone mention it? No, I learned Mongo inside out so I wouldn’t design something non scalable and non redundant.
Scale is a huge issue in politics. The right kind of government for a city isn't the right kind of government for a continent spanning federation.
First Impression: Looks like a way to turn high-level code (Scala, Java) into low-level FPGA gates / ASIC silicon. If that works for all types of high-level programs, it's absolutely brilliant. If not, it's still a great idea. I wish them much success in the future! (Looking forward to something like Any Language -> LLVM -> FPGA / ASIC...) This is a good step in that direction.

What do you mean by that? I know only a few Googlers, mostly new grads. They don't seem to be worked to the bone or mistreated (9-5, high comp, benefits etc.) and have excellent working conditions (ergonomic workflow, offices with natural light, mentoring, good internal tooling).

In fact, I don't know if I would enjoy it. Since I like intense environments... they have it good though.

Well that and you are scheduling a murder for hire at a specific time & also the price movements of a share price at a specific time.

While also managing the risk of either of those times being off even a little & not accounting for the risks of the criminality of the trade.

Let me make this easier for you. Pick a share price now. A range of share prices post news event. A % chance each of those prices happen given the outcome you know will happen and an optimal execution path. Show your work on the Greeks.

What does that look like for shorts? What happens when you add the risk pricing of “go to prison forever for being stupid” to the mix?

It's not just "elites" (or I'm not clear on what you mean by that). For example, if you're a cop around dirty cops it's not enough just to not be a snitch. If you are around dirty business they will force you to accept bribes so you are in on the mutually assured destruction.

I'm confused. I carry a gun daily. I don't do drugs. I don't destroy public property, and I do all my creepy things in private. Having freedom does not mean you're a bad person. It means you are free to be who you are. Freedom allows you to see people's hearts. An iron fist shows you their fear. Given that the US is fairly sustaniable in a political sense (we average about 150 years between civil war, which is better than most EU countries), time will tell? Authoritarian systems don't seem to hold up with the ironman dies. It is an interesting idea to see what happens if you have an iron-committee.

I've given you quite a few examples, criticizing foreign leaders, blasphemy, blood and gore in games, even dancing on Good Friday. And that's without even touching on "hate speech" laws.

Can you call Mohammed a pedophile? The fact that that's not allowed in Austria was big news recently.

I've also heard that you can get fined for insulting a civil servant.

This discussion could go on a long time, but it seems clear that you don't have free speech in Germany. You're only allowed to say what the government permits.

That is a very long-winded rant to point at someone who was making the same point in fewer characters.
I see you explaining and re-explaining the same point throughout this thread: "ordinary users" are used to using phone numbers as identifiers in the messaging apps Signal is trying to replace. That's an answer to the question: why does Signal default to a phone number-based social graph?

What it doesn't answer is: why can't Signal also provide an option to add a contact using something other than a phone number? Bold, italics, and double-underline on the also. Is it simply a question of finite developer time?

I have multiple specific segments of the population in mind who would benefit greatly from the secure private messaging Signal provides but for whom exchanging phone numbers is a total non-starter. "Ordinary", non-technical, non-"elite secure" people. I hate the framing of this problem as some sort of niche techie elitism. That's a dodge that reflects a social blind spot of its own.

> That port was outright insulting in how bad it was.

Only in that the keyboard and mouse control was sub-par. I bought it a few years ago and as my first exposure to the series, I will say I was an instant convert. I have an Xbox Controller for Windows controller, which is what I ended up using, and that has a lot to do with it.

I know that for sure, because I got busy and stopped playing for a few months, and when I started back up I forgot to use the Xbox Controller (I don't use it for much, it's just for those games that it makes much more sense, especially emulated console games), and I was really frustrated and it took me good hour or so to realize it's because that's not how I played it before. The contrast is incredible.

> That's an unacceptable level of disregard for your customers in my opinion.

As opposed to those companies that don't bother to provide a port at all? I mean, I assume I would like Red Dead Redemption given what it's supposed to be (Grand Theft Auto as a western), but I've never played it, and haven't owned a console it's available for.

Plenty of horrible games are released with horrible control schemes. Dark Souls happens to be a masterful game whose default control scheme on PC is horrible unless you have a controller. That's slightly different, and it might actually be that after having developed it for the console, it would require significant differences in the content to allow for a good keyboard and mouse control scheme. I actually think that's completely possible, and in fact likely given how much attention went into everything in that game.

You've heard it from the others, so I'm just repeating it, but you really owe it to yourself to give it a chance with a good controller (Xbox controller for windows is amazing, I suspect a PS4 USB/bluetooth controller is just as good), especially if you tried it in the first place because you thought it was something you might like. Otherwise you're just that guy complaining that Quake is a crap game because it's too hard to play with your keyboard like you played Doom, when really the problem is that you're not playing it as it was meant to be played. I was that guy, for a little while at least. Don't be that guy. The only person you're punishing when you are is yourself.
NRA has donated a maximum of $9,990 to any politician[1], a rather small amount considering the huge cost of running a campaign. In 2016, the total political contribution of the NRA was roughly $1.1 million[2]. In the meantime, gun control proponent Michael Bloomberg alone has contributed $20 million to Democrat senate candidates[3] in 2018 and is planning to contribute $80 million to house candidates[4] for the midterms. Even if you hate the NRA and what they stand for, claiming that they are buying up politicians with money seems far from the truth.

You're wrong at a couple of points:

- GoDaddy isn't a transparent utility service, it's a for-profit business

- You seem to think GoDaddy needs a reasonable claim on their jurisdiction... customers agree to their TOS, which usually is very much in the provider's favour and allows the provider to do anything they want without requiring justification.

Your example scenario should be something more like "The customer is using their phone to organise a terrorist attack on American soil, should the telco brick the phone", because that is a much closer analogy to the present situation.
I have 2Gbs fibre optic broadband with no Internet filtering. I can download all the porn I want, view any site, etc. Complete freedom of religion. Prostitution is somewhat tolerated and licensed within defined areas, if you are so inclined for that sort of activities. Although section 377A of the Penal Code of Singapore is a legislation which criminalises sex between mutually consenting adult men, it is not strictly enforced. The society has progressed to a point where gay relationships are a lot more prevalent and generally accepted.

Yes, there are some restrictions in terms of political activities and free speech. But, in my opinion they are a small price to pay for the generally safe/progressive/modern/clean society. Is it perfect? No, but still beats living in any other Asian society except perhaps Japan.

Ask HN: How to develop a HIPAA compliant app?
Building a mobile application that will communicate personal health data between the user and a cloud service, what regulatory measures need to be taken?

The data is "protected health information" (PHI), so the app + cloud service definitely need to be HIPAA compliant. What all needs to be done to make sure the system I build passes the grade, and how would I get the system officially certified? What about FDA approval (if the PHI includes medication info)?

I've seen a few helpful sources of info like [1, 2], but is there a comprehensive checklist of requirements and best practices that I haven't come across? Given what's at stake and the repercussions I don't want to leave any stone unturned!

Win a Tektronix 5 Series MSO Oscilloscope
This is truly astounding stuff. A huge chunk of analytical equipment for chemistry is concerned solely with determining the answers to two questions: what is a monomolecular substance made out of (e.g. elemental composition, chemical bonds, etc.) and what is the 3D atomic structure of this substance. That includes things like mass spectrometers, infrared spectrometers, raman spectrometers, NMR machines, and on and on. Some of these machines cost hundred of thousands or millions of dollars. Much of the rest of the analytical equipment is for separating mixtures of chemicals into separate monomolecular isolates.

These new techniques won't replace all of that equipment, but they will probably become just as common. X-ray crystallography is one of those things that is not as routine as all of the stuff above. Undergraduate chemistry students use GC-MS, and IR or NMR spectrometers, they do not generally do x-ray crystallography. Because it's a ton of work and the equipment is expensive. But if these techniques work as well as they seem to then we could be seeing a new addition to the list of analytical equipment in the vast majority of chemistry labs, and the addition of a new technique for routine chemical analysis.

And that's pretty astounding when you think about it because if you can take some sample that falls out of a chromatography column and then run it through the equipment listed above and this new process which provides atomic structures with small crystalline samples then you can learn basically all you need to know about a chemical within a few hours of "easy" work. That means Joe Blow amateur chemical lab can churn through tons and tons of samples and pump out structures of them like it was nothing. That means you can have a small footprint of lab equipment that you send to Mars or Ceres or the surface of a comet or what-have-you and you can investigate collected samples in situ to a degree that would have required returning them to Earth before.

It's very difficult to overstate just how transformative this innovation is going to be if it pans out at anything close to its apparent promise.
Dolphins Dumb Down Calls to Compete with Ship Noise
The standard reply would be - if the government controls everything and gets corrupted - it has the power to corrupt everything.

This is a worry - there is no feedback loop unless government makes sure it is.

On the other hand, if current government really can't control who will be elected next, then there is less chance that current government abuses power. And having armed citizenry reduces chances of government going totalitarian.. or so they say.
