people - the last three hundred years of industrial development has been a patchwork of travesty and tragedy. Singling out "forest management" is sounding remarkably uneducated in particular, among a crowd that is notably otherwise.

Secondly, PG&E and many other regulated utilities, created holding companies to siphon out profits in the go-go 90s. the deregulation of California's electrical energy markets and subsequent ENRON debacle exposed the holding companies in the ensuing crisis discovery process.

Thirdly, PG&E is super-guilty of labor avoiding, subcontracting, penny-pinching and evasive behavior for decades. This includes tree-trimming; this includes inaccurate record keeping of the gas pipeline safety records; many other ordinary, daily management decisions we dont know about, but collectively create the situation as it is.

Do not cry for PG&E, or mimic PR company talking points. Thanks
That's a great summary. Sadly, from what I see, hard key support is marginal.
> My point is there is incentive for media to criticize Facebook and we just don't seem to see this disclosure.

There's also hypocrisy afoot as these news organizations publish anti-FB opinions under the guise of their news organization domains which muddies fact and opinion much more than the print days. They leverage visitor trust to inject thought.
You'll want to look into any of the street documentary greats:

* Garry Winogrand - NYC/LA/Texas, considered by many to be the best.
* Lee Friedlander - From Aberdeen, WA, but really shot everywhere.
* Anthony Hernandez - Modern, still working, has moved on to larger formats of environments.
* Joel Meyerowitz - Modern, still working, has moved on to still lifes in Tuscany, but still teaches. Pioneered a lot of early color street work.
* Robert Frank - Released The Americans the book that really started it all.
* Henri Cartier-Bresson - Surrealist, dream-like work that's hard to imitate.
* Walker Evans - Worked for the Farm Services Bureau and took lots of important documentary work early in America's history.
* Elliott Erwitt - NYC with a touch of humor.
* Helen Levitt - NYC bad neighborhoods and life.
* Brassai - Parisian nightlife.
* Richard Kalvar - Still working, great work of Italy in the 70s though.
* Leitizia Battaglia - Italian mafia in Sicily.
* Gianni Berengo Gardin - Considered the Italian Henri Cartier-Bresson.
* Josef Koudelka - Czech, one of the greatest documentary workers to have ever lived. Still working today and making incredible work. His book Exiles is worth everyone owning.
* William Eggleston - Basically responsible for color photography being accepted in fine art circles.

For some contemporaries still actively shooting street I'd check out:

* Alex Webb https://www.instagram.com/webb_norriswebb/
* Matt Stuart https://www.instagram.com/mattu1/

I have dozens and dozens more if you run through those and are still interested. Street documentary work is my absolute favorite genre of photography -- got hooked after my first darkroom class at 15 -- and try to consume as much work as I can.

Edit3: Probably easiest to link to here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_street_photographers) for further reference too.

Usually, ministry posting is about politics, not competency: a minister post would be proposed to political allies in exchange for support during the campaign. It's how, in France, we ended up with Taubira as minister of justice (here called "guarde des sceaux") under president Hollande, in exchange for the support of her radical left party during the 2012 elections. And she was mostly incompetent in that role, since she had no prior qualification, other than being a politician.

Beat me to the punch! We use Elasticsearch at my company and I am amazed at how effectively it makes use of the Lucene backend to yield impressive results. That is not to say I haven't had my frustrations eking out performance for some of our workflows, but it's definitely been able to serve our needs single-handedly so far.
I think this is the more accurate reflection. The loudest rabble-rousers on either side are the only ones you hear because everyone else is just getting on with their normal lives. As it so happens, it's profitable to rabble-rouse if you're in the business of selling clicks, so media increasingly functions only to enrage and divide instead of to inform. Obviously this isn't true for all media but it's becoming more prevalent in our common discourse.

You've been lucky, evidently. The idea that everyone is fundamentally OK, and that we just have to get along — well, in some cases, the effort that takes is just unsustainable.

Maybe you're saying that you think there's no such thing as an abusive relationship. Maybe you think that whole concept is a modern invention. How likely do you think that really is?
I never said 25,000 people would be from neighbouring companies, just that a non-zero percent would be from the area already. So they aren't going to contribute incremental tax increases.

I know you mean this in jest, but for a good part of the last century this was absolutely true.
I don't think this matters in big software nearly as much as in other fields. Every new hire needs to be trained up - even the most experienced are going to require at least a few months before they are useful to the company.

I have not heard of extensive controlled burns in any western state. It is just too large and the forests here burn too hot and fast in terrain that is too rugged. Of course there are some controlled burns in California and other states, but the large scale burns required are not practical by any measure. California is considered to have one of the most advanced firefighting forces in the world. They inform the fire control decisions, and know the importance of controlled burns. Maybe it is just a tougher nut to crack rather than assumed incompetence?
It might be wrong though, even if common. That might explain a few things in fact.
People like him blow my mind. How do you make others believe that you are a great leader, a mastermind at things you do when in reality you don't know a thing.

It's a utility company. The regulatory capture and political influence is too great for them to ever be held liable to such an extent.
Additionally, I found Gmail will sometimes deny legitimate E-mail as "spam" as it comes in, before it even reaches your Spam folder. I tested this for a week or so by forwarding my personal E-mail from my mail server to my address at Gmail and checking my server logs. This was one of the things that finally pushed me over to self-hosting. Mail does not get lost with Spamassassin if it's set up to deliver spam into a separate folder. As long as the mail passes the trivial SPF, DKIM, etc. checks, it will at least get to my junk folder.

Ask HN: Any ICO that actually delivers what it promises?
It's the end of 2018 and I have not really come across any ICO that is not fraud (or hype and dump manipulation at best) in nature.

Doing start-up is already very hard itself. Trying to do a start-up and create a new economy surrounding a new currency often feels like downright fantasy-landish. I would say there is no point in creating a new currency when you are not introducing a new economy of some sort. It's just not pragmatic. And ICOs as a sale for collectibles will only result in constant deprecation afterwards, unless the start-up actually delivers what it promises (and restores investor confidence whenever there is a downfall).

So is there any ICO that actually deliver what it promises? (other than Ethereum which has successfully created an economy of ICOs)
Should a project manager of a technology project know something about the technology? I had one once (in place where PMs were essentially dictators) who said "I don't need to know technology, I manage people"--and then made all the technology decisions without input.
I mean, there is a precedent of people being completely unqualified and still becoming the president of the most powerful country in the world.

In comparison this is just a minor issue.
This is the best answer.
Remember you are writing your comment in 2018, what was feasible in 1975 was very different. Programmers back then were smart enough to pull the job off, but the computers they had were limited such that it wasn't worth it. First because the computers were limited programs had to be smaller so the benefit wasn't as great. Second computers were slower so it was worth spending extra human effort once to save a lot of computer effort.

C++ has been working on modules to fix this for years now. It turns out to be harder than you would think. Everyone agrees with the basic problems statement, but there is disagreement on the details. All sides have good points in favor of their approach, and there are some places where you have both as they are incompatible. Progress is being made (and a lot of the incompatibilities turned out to be solvable but it took years of thinking to come up with how)
how on earth does it benefit Russia to pay people to perform the actions that 4chan people do? I can't imagine posting edgy memes and attempting to "trigger the libs" is a national marketing/propaganda/outreach strategy.
This is how the many trucking companies work. They'll train you for a CDL but require you drive for them for a period (a year?) or pay for the cost of training.
Maybe the smart people saw what happened to those that chose to work unglamorous assembly line jobs for decades and realized it's not to their benefit.
Most likely the shareholders will be wiped out ( equity collapse ) and bondholders are going to cut their losses and simply walk away. It will be rate payers ( customers ) and taxpayers ( both state and federal ) who will be footing the bill. But that's the worst case scenario which I don't think is likely.

It's a matter of cost. You could probably make the equipment extremely safe, for example by installing an appropriate amount of fire suppression systems along the distribution network. By putting the risk on the utilities it's up to them to calculate how much prevention makes sense.

There are free options with an API, such as Cloudflare (no, one doesn't have to use the CDN/proxy the traffic through them to use the DNS).
Workers do decide on things such as the minimum wage, through voting. If a business wants to offer more pay to attract more employees, that's their call and their right.

I interpret the article you linked that a abuse mail would be sent, quote: "from users to some anti-spam center". While I propose that the mail transfer agent (MTA) on the receiving end tells the sending MTA whether or not an e-mail was (automatically) flagged as spam.

Sending MTA: HELO I would like to send an e-mail
Receiving MTA: Great, send it to me
Sending MTA: Sending ...
Receiving MTA: Analyzing mail, please wait ...
Receiving MTA: Email accepted, but it was marked as spam
Sending MTA: OK, goodbye

It would then be up to the sending MTA to notify the user, like it does now when an e-mail is undelivered.

Of course.

Sorting by most recent, you can only blame your friends for promoting extremism -- FB remains neutral.

But when FB promotes extremist/click bait content in your feed in order to maximize engagement and profit, they're obviously to blame for that.
PG&E is a joke.They have done next to nothing to mitigate risks in extremely high risk areas for decades. Of course you can't get to zero risk, but it is right to push heavy responsibility on them until they up there game to remotely modern standards. If their corporate culture can't handle it, then they should be absorbed into one that can.
What kinds of things do your friends and family share, though? Any articles that got them riled up?
Same for me (actually, most of the people I know are focused on running, but I guess it could be applied to nearly all sports).

The closer I get to my forties, the more important it is to take care of my body. Basically, you just realize that your body is not what it used to be, and you have either the choice to do something to stay/get back in shape (more sports, a better diet), or let it go (which is, unfortunately, the first step to health complications).

There is also a strong bias regarding to whom you hang with then. Being "seriously" involved in any sport means that you are going to dedicate a significant part of your free time to training, and therefore, will spent much more time with your fellow sportsmates than "regular" friends.
> They want to do some job for money and you're telling them "no, it pays too little, you're not allowed to do that job, you should be on welfare or find another job instead!".

The idea that they need to be on some form of welfare ANYWAY doesn't bother you ?

> If the law forced restaurant owners to pay their workers as much as a law firm has to pay its workers, most restaurants would go out of business because people simply aren't willing to pay as much for restaurant service as they are for lawyers.

And if the southern states couldn't have slaves the economy would collapse
and if people could strike, no business can survive
and if you have to pay immigrants the same salary as locals, no business can survive
and if they pass anti-sweatshop laws , no business can survive
and if you can't fire them for unionizing , no business can survive
and if you can't hire children , no business can survive
and if you pay them for ONLY 40h per week , no business can survive
and if you pay women equally , no business can survive

it has been the same excuse forever, if we give rights the market will crash,
and yet every time instead of crushing it just keeps blooming... weird.
So his interview didn’t involve a whiteboard then?
a) People always crave attention and validation

--Internet increasingly makes it easy to give validation to people which is shallow. (i.e people who don't know you saying how great your comments, how great your life is, how great your political views are)

b)people crave emotion (good or bad)

--Due to the way these social media companies are structured, they only want user engagement, they don't really care about quality of engagement. So they purposefully design it to be as addictive as possible. This means shallow content seeps up foremost that generates strong emotional responses.

c) Politics, sports, things like these activities are very tribal, and so generate strong emotions. They also give people validation because people can attach themselves to a movement and feel part of a community and be validated by other members of that community. The more tribal these movements (us vs them), the more drama, the more excitement for the user. I would argue social media companies might actually be worse off by not taking advantage of these trends (fiduciary wise) because for sure some other company will.

It's like living in one of those drama tv shows.
Daxx Head of Recruitment, Anna Symonenko, on Hiring Developers in Ukraine
There's some anectotal evidence for pre-Younger Dryas civilizations, such as various peoples' myths regarding previous golden ages ended by terrible floods and so on, as well as some early civilizations using techniques and doing stuff that seems impossible to us.

If there was a relatively advanced civilization somewhere in the area, a meteor strike and subsequent climate instability could definitely have brought it down. Ice sheets could easily have crushed any cities in the northern hemisphere without leaving much trace except from the oral traditions of more primitive peoples who managed to survive.

Problem is, that without solid evidence it's just guesswork.
Technologies can amplify types of human behaviors. Twitter h brings people together, but it amplifies twits. That does not mean all people are twits, there are many people I respect who use/have used twitter. But it is an amplifier for certain kinds of people and messages. Zeynep Tufekci's book "twitter and teargas" is a great reference for this issue.

In most states, all state-issued IDs (State IDs, Learner's Permits, Driver Licenses) meet all the requirements to vote, travel by air, etc. as they follow the "REAL ID" act. Many states also have an assistance program for people below the poverty line for them. California though is one of the particular lagging states in this area, as they are opposed to the REAL ID act, among several other states.

REAL ID is basically standardized state IDs to allow the things you wanted. Yes, it's not free, but most people have one already anyway (if they drive).

Companies are understandably reluctant to quickly increase wages when the supply/demand forces for labor shift out of their favor.
That does appear to have a single 8 pin DIP in there.
Equipment decades old coupled with IT systems equally antiquated- this is a core problem for all utilities not just PG&E (I would know, I work for one). Unfortunately, I think we can expect more utility faults as well as severe weather that will continue to cause damage to people and homes. Utilities do not invest in IT unless they are incentivized to do so through rate recovery. This has plagued them to fall drastically behind in IT capability and hiring talent, as well as outsourced a majority of their operations (ie. Siemens, ABB, IBM, etc not only provide the solution but are hired to run the project management and strategy). It sucks companies so vital to reliable electricity see IT investment as a balance sheet stop sign but it will not change unless regulators force their hand...
Why everything un PC is downvoted? People put eniugh pressure on companies that many actually do hire exactly as outlined above.
No, we shouldn't because that is entirely wrong. "corpMaverick" is a user ID. Your real name could be a form of user ID. "Something you are" is not a user ID.

For root's sake, are you really actually thinking it through when you say stuff like this? In one breath your argument is "well biometrics aren't changeable so not like passwords" then you suggest it is equivalent to user IDs which by definition are all changeable, since they are essentially aesthetic symbolic pointers towards primary keys and bundles of identity. How easily or not any given entity makes it to change pointers in their own sphere varies based on subjective goals and tradeoffs, but there is nothing fundamental about it.

My definition of creepshot is a photo taken of someone without their knowledge. The photographer may have gone back to get consent from the people photographed after the fact, but I found no mention of it in the article. The only mention of the photographs being taken secretly is in the title, and that's where I'm drawing my conclusions from.

I have lived in Japan. While I was there, there was a law that cellphones had to make a loud shutter sound whenever a picture was taken. Hence, those of you claiming that the concept of creepshots is a western puritanical idea are dead wrong.

I believe that the photographer chose to photograph women and children because, if they were to become upset with her for taking them, there is less risk of physical harm or intimidation.

It's possible that she was just more interested in capturing the lives of women and children for whatever reason. But, to answer your question (finally), the reason I feel this way about this subject is because I am a woman and I hate people taking my picture without my knowledge. I have hated it my whole life. I have the experience of being both the powerless child and the unintimidating woman.

Imagining someone taking a photo of me without my knowledge or consent, and then publishing it and gaining fame or fortune from it is extremely upsetting.

I hope this has helped you understand my perspective.

Seems like a great idea to me. I mean the drivers sometimes have free snacks or something minor as of now.

I always tip more if I use/take something. This just gives the opportunity for the driver to offer more and get paid more. Everybody wins.
