First, you can't legally take the fifth just because they are asking something they "have no right to ask". You can only legally take the 5th to prevent possible implication. You also only need to worry about the 5th during certain scenarios. Most of the time you can just refuse to speak. But if you've actually been charge and decided to take the stand and start to answer questions, you have waived your fifth amendment right because that would inhibit the cross-examination's questions.

"I mean, isn't it obvious?"
That's a common misconception about the 5th amendment. In fact the US Supreme Court has said - "One of the Fifth Amendment's basic functions is to protect innocent men who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances."

Case in point:
Detective: "Do you know the victim?"
Suspect: "Yeah, we've crossed paths a few times before - mutual friends"
Detective: "Do you like him?"
Suspect: "Not especially. He always seemed kind of arrogant."
Detective: "Where were you Friday night?"
Suspect: "I went out with a few friends to the Irish pub at the corner of 7th"
Detective: "That's interesting because his body was found about a mile from there. And the body was located roughly halfway between that pub and your apartment."

Oops. Now you're screwed. You've confirmed your knew the person, didn't like them, and was in the area of the murder on the night it occurred. And your language even uses the past tense ("seemed kind of arrogant"). All of this would be used against you.
My hardware is all apple. My OS's are all apple. But I use GSuite for email/calendar. Email because I use my own domain and Calendar because we use it at my workplace for scheduling shared resources (conference rooms etc).

I suppose I could easily switch to another email provider (e.g. Fastmail).

I also suppose I could stop using Google Calendar for my own calendar and only use it for scheduling conference rooms at my workplace. Or get someone else to schedule rooms for me using their google account.

I still use google for search but I suppose I could switch.

I use apple maps 99.9% of the time and it's fine.
Yeah belaboring people as fools straight out the gate isn't a good way to make your argument. I had actually upvoted your other comment before seeing this one. Ever consider that you might be partly right but also partly wrong, and that maybe people are reacting to your extreme arrogance and unwillingness to entertain other points of view?
Your US numbers are very weirdly off. I've never seen someone try to claim US defense spending was 15% of GDP.

US military budget: ~$700 billion, 3.4% of GDP.

US GDP will be close to $20.50 trillion for 2018. Your 15% figure implies a GDP of about $4 trillion (close to the size of Germany's economy).

The US will add roughly $1 trillion to its GDP figure in 2018. That's nearly the size of Mexico's entire economy (15th largest economy), added in just one year.
As detailed in the linked article, it is a lot more complicated than just adding longer exposures to an HDR shot.
Who do you think makes up the Venezuelan army?
That's the problem - the only functioning use for public blockchains after 10 years is for crypto assets, i.e. for money making schemes, so will there be anything left at all if the people interested in making money move on? In contrast, when the dot-com bubble burst and the get-rich-quick folks moved on, there were clear established use cases for the technology beyond simply making money, and as a result mass adoption was well underway. Pretty much all other so-called blockchain projects at the moment are either using it where they don't need to (i.e. they have no need for decentralised trust) or aren't using blockchains in the original sense at all (i.e. they're using some centralised version of it, which defeats the point).
Why? Containers are supposed to be idempotent. They shouldn't need npm, a shell, or other stuff really.

Grandparent said "we can look forward", so that's probably just a prediction.
> People want “games as a service”-level updates without having having to download big patches.

I usually hear "games as a service" derided as a combination of lazy bugfixing and wanting a constant stream of money. But anyway, "service"-level patches don't need to be very big. A code fix or a new item aren't going to cause any major churn.
"Soldiers are required to not fire unless fired upon"

Not necessarily true; it depends on the rules of engagement (ROE). I've been under orders to not fire back unless I receive accurate enemy fire; I've also had a kill zone ROE, where it was open season on anything that "appears non-friendly". That said, I completely agree with the rest

Police in the US are:
- Sloppy: they don't follow procedures and policies, because they know they won't be punished
- Above the Law: they aren't punished proportionally to their mistakes (See the UCMJ for proper recriminations)
- Have a toxic "Alpha" culture: respond to anything but subservience with escalation, especially if you point out a mistake they made
- Overly aggressive: I've worked with Navy SEALS, AF Combat Controllers, and MARSOC Marines; US Cops try harder than all the rest to assert their dominance through aggressiveness
- Communicatively delusional: they hear what they want to hear, forget anything that doesn't align with their view of "Everyone is a lawbreaker"
If you are still homeless after getting an $50,000 pay day, your problem is not lack of money.
Generally, I like to work on product-oriented teams. I like being able to push code and actually see the results of what I've been doing on the site or in the app when it's deployed to prod.

That's not how the law works.
I would like to ask the parent comment if he thinks there is a more efficient way of managing society and all it's people.

Actually, lets start with defining what "efficient" actually means in this context?
That the goverment spends little money? That it is able to do it's duties effectively?
This really helps me understand how read() works as I am currently learning C programming. Didn't know that ctrl+D still sent everything before it in the buffer to the read call, and that a read of length zero and EOF was the same thing.
That's not true. The rate of homelessness is higher in France, Sweden, Luxembourg, New Zealand, the UK, etc.
I'm referring specifically to Pixel phones. They made weird choices with awkward notches, small storage and RAM, as well as a mediocre at best battery.
Even losing half the bureaucracy, that leaves 35k/year for actual aid. Toss half of that at misc care and other programs. 17.5/year left for housing. Not much, but should still be enough for group home type arrangements. Or, at least I would hope so.

I've never been involved in these programs on either side, but it's amazing that $70k/year might not be enough to house somebody.
>I am a bit skeptical of just playing the averages but no more / less than individual doctors

That would be the minimum standard, but you gain efficiency and lower costs (well, theoretically... companies throw crap in just to hit a higher reimbursement tier.) The models often do better than doctors (where applicable) because often times doctors won't agree with each other. Like in any profession, you have varying levels of competence. My work has always been in the realm of pathology, so I don't know much about other areas. In pathology you will often see five different doctors give five different interpretations when looking at the same sample.

I guess DAG with a merkle tree data structure would be more appropriate. Blockchain should be reserved for DAG's that use Nakamoto Consensus (or similar) to determine the longest chain.
There is a difference between convoluted glitches left in the published game and publishing a game near-unplayable without massive day one patches.
More probably, you're getting downvoted for bringing politics to the discussion. And insulting everyone who does not agree with you.
I've never heard of any of those, so I looked up the first one, MakerDAO. I'm pretty sure that's a "crypto asset".

From TFA: “It seems somewhat implausible,” he said, that the government’s witness saw the event and was “right about one and mistaken about the other.”

I've often wondered if this is part of the reason cases seem to be dropped if the primary suspect is exonerated. I can picture a lawyer saying "Well they took all the evidence and tried to pin it on that guy and it turned out wrong, how can they turn around and say it was my client now?" Or maybe my perception is just wrong, I don't tend to follow such things.
As one of the main developers on the project I can say that yes, 20+ years of undocumented baggage made it a really hard problem to solve.

I don't know about that. For being a phone that touts long term support it doesn't seem terribly future proof with the amount of RAM and storage it has, as well as having a pretty regular battery that is certain to really degrade by the time support ends.

Mark Messina (the study's author) is a shill for the soy industry.

"M.M. regularly consults for companies that manufacture and/or sell soyfoods and/or isoflavone supplements, and he is the executive director of the Soy Nutrition Institute[0], a science-based organization that is funded in part by the soy industry and the United Soybean Board."[1]

You are quite right about the romanticization of the US, but there are also multiple non-state political vectors, and the state itself is far from homogenous. Any breakdown of civil society int he US is not likely to be a simple rebels vs tyrannical government scenario. Even kinetic (shooting) conflicts also involve psychological and moral warfare that has greater impact on the outcome than individual contests of violence.
So you think decentralized finance is a ruse? I can trade AAPL stock derivatives using ETH on the blockchain today. How is that not useful?
I just go by the labels. If the labels aren't reliable, then I'd have problems. I tend to think they are reliable because of people with allergies, but I suppose it depends on where you live and how much you trust your vendors.

I mean there is a chance I've got a product with wrong labeling. I just accept I have to trust other people or the labels to figure out if information is incorrect.

What did you think of Fallout 3 and New Vegas in terms of writting? It's been a long time, but I found them very entertaining. Different league than Fallout 4. I'm surprised it's the same creator.

Then again, there was a large gap between trying Fallout 3/NV and Fallout 4, so maybe my perception changed.
Isn’t most of the size in a modern game artistic assests like textures, dialog, etc.?

That said, I don’t understand how bug fixes can be so big, because presumably the aforementioned art files would change substantially in the case of software fixes.

Assuming that I’m mot wrong about the proportion of a modern game being art, that lends credence to the idea mentioned elsewhere in this thread that there was straight-up missing content in the original release.
pluralsight.com has great videos for Angular; I'm sure their content is equally as good for React.

It's "cheap" to me as a 15+ year web developer, but price is objective - $35 / month or just commit and drop the $299 for the year (USD)

'been soaking up all kinds of content. Angular, C#, Python, even brushing up on some HTML / JS - the videos are probably the best I've seen.
When you buy, for example, soap, what ingredients do you look for instead?

I avoid palm oil in foods for the simple reason I don't consider anything made with palm oil to be a "whole" food. But I've never known what to do about other products like soap.

P.S. To bystanders, you may think your soaps don't contain palm oil. Check for anything like "lauryl sulfate". That's (probably) palm oil.
While there is some truth that some regulation is needed to account for living in the Ring of Fire and also for SuperFund sites created in the 20th century, NIMBYs tend to overly abuse environmental impact concerns in order to stop high density housing development and even business development; which has helped exacerbate the housing crisis.
> device drivers just work

Hm, I've got an ASUS C201 where I use crouton to run Debian Stretch.

* audio craps out after three or four switches between Stretch and ChromeOS. It craps out in ChromeOS such that it locks up videos and they won't play. I have to restart to get it to work again.

* the animated spinning wheel cursor in XFCE4 somehow locks down the entire input. Luckily it usually displays only in a file dialog so I can just mash <ESC> for awhile and break out of the loop.

* I can't use the hotkey to switch between ChromeOS and Debian because it locks down on a blank screen and I have to hard reboot.

* I can't leave XFCE4 on the screen because when it tries to wake back up from the blank screen it locks down and I have to hard reboot.

* hot keys for audiolevel up/down sometimes don't work. Usually it makes me anxious that audio is about to crap out on ChromeOS. Then in the next few minutes... audio craps out in ChromeOS.

Now, with crostini can you get GPU-acceleration with the Linux distro inside the container? Because with crouton it doesn't seem possible. (Rankly speculating that the XFCE4 spinning wheel cursor lock-up has something to do with lack of GPU-acceleration, but could be wrong.)

Let's compare apples to apples, then. I can run a full Debian guest in a VM on Windows, too. That's not new, but that appears to be the demonstrated capability of ChromeOS here. WSL is a step further in that it's _not_ virtualized.

I have been on TRT for several years as a result of a damaged pituitary from a tumor that was removed.
I have played with the dosages alongside my doctor, and definitely found that (to a certain extent) it really has an effect on my mood.

From personal experience, I don't know if it would call it an anti-depressent, but it seems to stifle anxiety at the right doses.

Some people say it's a "confidence drug" but my opinion is it performs more like an anti-anxiety drug.

I can have a terrible week of work with little sleep, bump my dose a bit and I calm down - as long as the dose is not high enough to put my estrogen (e2) levels out of whack.

Dosage and duration are extremely important. If you mess either up it can make you moody and full of anxiety.

Many doctors today are incredibly unskilled and uneducated regarding hormones. I know many doctors perscribe trt in one shot per two weeks, and even one shot per month. I had to go through four doctors to find my current who is a specialist and very well educated.

With a half life of about 6 days, test-c should be administered at MINIMUM weekly. Ideally bi-weekly. Dosage should be enough to get you in the 600-1000ng/dl range.

You also need to carefully observe the hormones that coorelate closely with testosterone, like e2. If that goes to high (aka high converter) your mood will be worse.

Some people will also see a rise in hematocrit which thickens the blood and can be a risk factor for a number of things. I do not have this issue as my hematocrit is very stable on or off trt.

My blood pressure has actually dropped on TRT.

If you can do the balancing act it is overall very good.

-- Feel free to ask me anything about TRT and it's effects on mood, hormones, etc. I will try to answer. I have been researching it for years.
Ask HN: Programming job interview books?
I'm about to start interviewing for c++ programming jobs. I haven't been on a technical interview in 6 years. I'd like to start studying 1-2 problems each day, work through them and see what I know easily and what I don't. Even after 25 years of c++ I still get nervous about interviews. I read the Stroustrup and Meyers books when they come out and I tend to understand them.

I'd like a real, rubber hits the road book, preferably with solutions in c++.
>Journalist realizes he was on the wrong side of defending a special interest group

Author of the article is Joi Ito, director of the MIT Media Lab. I wish he had spoken to the original creators of the algorithm (down the street) before co-authoring the article.

But I give him credit for this kind-of a mea culpa w/ additional context.
No reason they couldn’t. It would just involve some fairly advanced algorithms, so it is not trivial. But the hardware is there. Apple could release this in a update if they wanted. Doubt it will happen till next year though.
Clearcast aren't the regulator, that would be ASA.

Notice that Clearcast wouldn't have recommended against the ad if it had been created by Iceland.

Iceland are allowed to create ads saying "we've stopped using palm oil, and here's why".

This is, in short, a transparent marketing ploy.

> Your scenario would still fix half of the forest-wrecking, so yes it is.

No, in my scenario only half the farmers were wrecking the forest anyway. That did not change.

Perhaps, but also higher costs. They may still be less ethical then the unethical farmers.
Ctrl-D is maybe the hardest part of TTYs to emulate if you want to bypass the accumulated legacy of the kernel-level TTY device API. It's very easy to make read() return 0 forever, but it's next-to-impossible to make read() return 0 exactly once, except for TTY slaves.
Yeah, but it's a stablecoin pegged to the USD. This allows other projects, like dydx to create derivatives products based on this peg. You have other protocols that use the DAI peg to create stock market derivatives. Today, I can trade ETH for a token pegged to AAPL's stock on the blockchain.

Replace 'perception' with 'interpretation' and my comment still applies. Interpretation can be thought of as part of perception or vice versa depending how you look at it. If you define interpretation as some stage of perception/observation that humans agree on then the statement 'interpretations are agreed upon by individuals' is a truism that doesn't really mean anything.

Nothing is truly repeatable because we don't have the ability to perform truly controlled experiments - we can't control time for example.

To be fair, I think digestive issues with commercial bread vs sourdough has nothing to do with the bacteria - baking sourdough kills bacteria - but the slow fermintation that lowers phytates in sourdough and makes it easier to digest.
Sure at some tipping point. But in my case the unethical farmers can easily sell the same stuff they already produce, just to a different part of the crowd.
The majority of homelessness is caused by economic issues like the loss of a job, lack of sufficient income, lack of affordable housing and domestic violence. I did some work for an Australian charity that works with the homeless, so I have this graphic[1] on hand.

Here's a relevant graphic for the US[4].

The top three obstacles to obtaining permanent housing in SF are lack of affordability, unemployment and lack of housing availability[2].

The figures I've seen put substance abuse and alcoholism between ~10% and ~20% of the reasons for homelessness[3].

I’m not saying punish homelessness, I’m saying enforce existing laws regardless of who the perps are.
