I was looked it up:

In United States law, the Garrity warning is an advisement of rights usually administered by federal, state, or local investigators to their employees who may be the subject of an internal investigation. The Garrity warning advises subjects of their criminal and administrative liability for any statements they may make, but also advises subjects of their right to remain silent on any issues that tend to implicate them in a crime. (See Kalkines warning concerning federal employees.) [0].

The Kalkines warning is an advisement of rights usually administered by United States federal government agents to federal employees and contractors in internal investigations. The Kalkines warning compels subjects to make statements or face disciplinary action up to and including dismissal, but also provides suspects with criminal immunity for their statements [1].

California already does that. (ZEVs pay a supplemental $100 annual fee.)
Okay, but most owners own out of luck or family, not because they are special. Or, they did one thing special at the right time, which then allowed them to start accumulating ownership in a snowballing fashion. Most of Microsoft's well-known products were purchased from/as start-ups or small co's.
It's because the human purpose isn't to stay on this planet. Depends on your worldview, but yes it is a fools purpose in the greater sense of things.

> With Docker images, the correct thing to do is to extend FROM the image you want to use, build the whole thing yourself, and then tag and store your image in a container repository. Neither should you rely upon months-old liveCD images.

This should rebuild all.
There should be an e.g. `apt-get upgrade -y && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists` in there somewhere (because base images are usually not totally current (and neither are install ISOs)).

`docker build --no-cache --pull`

You should check that each Dockerfile extends FROM `tag:latest` or the latest version of the tag that you support. Its' not magical, you do have to work it.

Also, IMHO, Docker SHOULD NOT create another Linux distribution.

Many of them are tourists or business visitors, not the people local government is supposed to serve. Local government fees designed to milk those people (which incidentally also hit residents) are not at all unusual.

Isn't the whole point that the apps limit cruising time? I recall a study that claimdd the average traditional taxi cruises for half an hour on average between each trip. Are there plans to tax traditional cabs by an amount commensurate with their cruising time? If not, this legislation seems more like protectionism for traditional cabs.
"I have long thought that there is an opening for local grocery stores to take a lot of this market."

I have talked with a local specialty supermarket owner about this, and basically it's too expensive to do at small scale.

For large supermarkets you would think that it would work, but it turns out it's just not that useful overall. Albert Heijn in the Netherlands has had the beginnings of this for decades: small cards at the entrance of a shop with recipes, a selection of 12-15 that rotates weekly. They have a (monthly or bimonthly?) magazine with recipes. Since a few years you can order online (either for delivery or pickup) and you can put all ingredients for a recipe in your shopping basket with one click (from the website, from the mobile version of the magazine, everywhere you can think of). They have an app that syncs with your account so that you can use it as an in-shop shopping list (i.e. no more printing). They have functionality that shows you the optimal path through the store, given a set of things you want to buy. All things of which I thought 10 years ago 'if only they would add this, I would do all my shopping there!'. But now it's 2019 and it turns out that after the novelty wears off (2 weeks?), all that just doesn't matter as much as you would think it would.
Thanks, will get a look at the contact link and patch it up.

> I wish Amazon would separate verified reviews (actually shipped item from Amazon Warehouse to this Amazon account who is writing a review) from unverified reviews.

Honestly, that's a useless metric. Since banning incentivized reviews, the situation is actually _worse_ than it was before.

All of the vendors who were sending out products for incentivized reviews now reimburse reviewers after they buy the product and leave a review, which means the review gets a "Verified Purchase" tag. This is against the rules, but it's happening.

In the age of incentivized reviews, those reviews did not have a "Verified Purchase" tag.

> Sounds like your in a cult not a company

I don't think that's fair at all. Idera acquires developer tools companies, and the tools are used by many developers - people here on HN. Let's suppose you built a tool used worldwide by your peers: would you just shake your head and go "yep, don't care"?

Also saying that someone is "biased" or "has an agenda" and thinking you've done enough to win the argument. These seem mostly just like disguised versions of "I'm right, you're wrong!", with no more substance.

That sounds urban legend-y, and it seems like you'd get an insane number of false positives every time something like GDPR rolls around.
Right now I use AdBlock plus. Occasionally, to get a webpage to work, I have to disable it.

How does Pi-hole mitigate this issue for non-expert users? My main concern is that if I set this up at home, my wife will get annoyed when her web pages don't work and won't have the patience to learn how to add to the whitelist.
I used the term "serverless" as people here are mostly developers and already know this term. The page builder is part of the serverless web publishing solution. It can generate website themes with editable pages, each theme in a separate repository. People can import/upload the repository, navigate to the page to edit, and make a website quickly. This is an example work-in-progress theme https://toffee-and-coffee.gitlab.io/index.goandmake.html. It is ready for people to play with too.

For end users we show how simple and easy it is, and we do not emphasize on "serverless". End users do not care. They may not even know what is a server or database. But people do love simple and easy ways.

When we talk to potential users, one of the first questions is "how to install it"? They are amused by the idea to start editing without installation.

One of our users runs her own online retail business in addition to looking after school age children. She has been hoping for a website to show her products since 10 years ago, and is quite excited about being able to edit something on the phone when she has spare time. She has a laptop but has hardly anytime to use it during the day.

For people always on the go like her who have little access to a desktop/laptop computer, the serverless page builder is a great convenience. People can edit, preview result, even without internet connection. When the page is done, just upload and publish, even from a phone.

Most static site generators won't run on a phone. The page builder does.
> Either people need to drive or they don't. People don't drive just for the fun of it anymore.

This isn't true. Some people live in places where it's possible to reduce their driving quite a lot, but when they decide to do that, it isn't as easy as simply choosing not to drive. Once they're motivated, they start to figure out opportunities to drive less. They start to figure out which other forms of transit are practical in their area, and they figure them out one by one. They start to figure out how they can adjust their habits to reduce driving. (Fewer, larger trips to the grocery store, for example.)

There are a lot of degrees of "not driving." You might bike to work in perfect weather at one level of motivation, and bike to work in the rain at a different level of motivation. One level of motivation might prompt you to make fewer, larger trips to the grocery store; at another level of motivation, when you run out of milk unexpectedly, you might walk five blocks to a corner store of driving ten minutes to the supermarket.

The only perspective from which it seems like a clean either/or is for people who haven't yet found a reason to try. People living in the same neighborhood with the same economic means can and do drive drastically different amounts depending on how motivated they are.
Oculus Go Slow: 2018 Sales of Standalone VR HMD Fall Far Below Forecast
I don't understand how this is feasible. As a young healthy male I never had my full blood count have values anything other than within reference range. Even when I ate noodles everyday in college because I was broke, or now I eat balanced and healthy unprocessed food, veggies, lean meat etc I have similar blood counts. How do you measure a diet's effect within your lifetime? It seems like even if you look healthy by all measures a normal person is capable of measuring right now, but still be eating unhealthy.
I drew a similar line recently -- no more buying pills or stuff for my dog on Amazon. I wonder if everyone did this how much it would ding their bottom line.
This is true, to an extent! It sounds like you're leaving a lot of money mostly idle in bonds and money market accounts. With better returns, you could have a longer runway or use that capital to grow your business in other ways.
> You may be inspired by "Fork yeah"

I've seen that. A wonderful talk.

> But accepting that the owners killed the system is likely to make you happier.

I understand. Nevertheless, I always feel there are options for making something better. This Ask HN is about how to do so.
If you're taking that as an evolutionary thing, then it'd be better to say that humans aren't meant to __only__ stay on this planet and to fill every available niche.

If you're saying it is foolish to not expand, then I'd agree with you. But I think there's a lot we can learn about terraforming our own planet, because frankly we don't have any good options out there currently. Mars is not yet viable (Venus is worse, other planets are too far away). And even if we started terraforming with radical means (like nuking the ice caps and tossing asteroids at it), Mars still wouldn't be viable by the time our planet's temperature rises to catastrophic levels.

So no, I don't think it is a fool's task. In fact I'd say it is foolish to not be concerned.

Mockup Rumors about the new Microsoft Lite OS
The mites are quite visible. I think a computer vision system could wipe them out.

As bees leave or enter the hive, they pass by a camera. The computer determines their fate. Infected bees get sucked up, zapped with an electric spark, or zapped with a laser. If you want to get fancy, you could aim a laser right at the mite and thus disinfect the bee.
Apple sells one:

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MQ4H2AM/A/thunderbolt-3-u...

It does Thunderbolt 3, USB-C 3.1 Gen 2, and up to 100W of power delivery. It's a shame it's only available in one kinda-short length, but I think that's a technical limitation (any longer would require an active cable for Thunderbolt).

As for projecting the fingers, it is possible. It's just not a great experience. Nose-pointer is a (application level) compromise. I've built apps in HL1 where direct hand gestures are essential. And it's definitely a master interface. It's not something you can easily train new users on.

It'd be nice to be able to at least see the math that is used to calculate and budget road repairs then compare them with value that that particular road brings in. More broadly, some kind of (global?) effort to accurately calculate externalized costs of all kinds. Gotta catch'em all!
I really think Kroger should just release recipes to their ClickList service. Why limit it to 5-6 pre-packaged meals with dubious produce selections visible through the plastic.
Thanks for this, wasn't sure which was best to use.
For me, the quality had gone downhill considerably. First, missing ingredients or completely mis-boxed orders. Then, the actual ingredients started becoming low quality. Stuff that would remain on the shelf at the grocery store. Then stuff started coming damaged. And all the sides are cheap (high) carbs. I was ok with the packaging, it never bothered me.

Going to the store, you get exactly what you want, good to high quality choices, and no damage! Plus, endless variety. And its way cheaper. So for me, there was little value left.
Excellent advice.

1. Mom-and-mom brand buys fake reviews

2. Mom-and-mom brand displaces well-known brands on amazon search

3. Well-known brand buys amazon ads to appear higher in search than shit brands with fake reviews

> Are there plans to tax traditional cabs by an amount commensurate with their cruising time?

Traditional taxis already pay a steep annual franchise fee to the city (even after it was cut down on recent years, probably in part because less-taxed rideshares reduced the level of franchise fee that was supportable).
As an Location Data Exec I can say that so much of what he 'assumes' here is utter tripe.

There is no need to have the phone in hand with the application open in order to collect location data - we get billions of signals from first party data from background usage on both iOS and Android.

These SDK's require legitimate usage of GPS in order to deliver the functions that we provide - our permission requests are overt and informational - we let users know exactly what data they will be sending and how we use it (one of our products actually rewards users for doing this!).

True, Apple and Android are both cracking down on un-authorised usage and collection of this data, it just means you have to follow some more rules in order to collect this data. Either way it is good for user transparency.

It sounds like (for the most part) he is talking about bid stream data, which everyone in the industry knows is the sewerage of the location data industry. Sure you can get a few valuable insights from it - but should it be classed as location data? No way. Even with significant cleansing it is still mostly garbage. If that is what their entire business model is based upon then no wonder it feels like a ponzi scheme to him.

For the rest of the location world who are using quality data - we see things differently!
"If you keep a secret list of people you know have been convicted of a felony, you're tacitly admitting you either dont believe in prisons as an effective tool for correction, or you're looking for something more sinister...biblical retribution"

Well, this would make perfect sense if we didn't have sex offender lists. Or if we didn't do things like taking the ability to own guns away from the mentally ill, even those who have committed no crime whatsoever. Or if we didn't in many places remove the right to vote or serve on a jury from felons.

I don't mean to say that all of these things are unquestionable and perfect, but it seems like there are many ways in which people generally agree that some rights can be lost and should be lost even after incarceration is over. And it's not necessarily about retribution. I think everybody knows prisons are not effective at rehabilitation.
> Sequestration is an important step that we need to be taking seriously.

Biggest reason, IMHO: The frontend developer experience of using APIs that speak graphql is amazingly better. Less APIs to call, better client side magic for managing app state, better client side magic to codegen, autocomplete type experience for API calls in your IDE.
I also loathe seeing complaints that a book isn't just a page of bullet points, but is, you know, a book. That it isn't it's own abridged version, summarised, Cliffs notes version.

> What should I expect

Certainly you can expect yourself and your peers to be fired. I don't think laws matter - Idera has reportedly fired entire teams in the past in countries with similar laws. I recall hearing of two times that has supposedly happened. In those cases, the employees did not band together. Perhaps that's the advice: do so. Find a collective lawyer. Advertise and promote the company's activities towards you; make their actions publicly clear. HN here is a good place. Do everything you can.
LA Public Transit is fine if you have a very specific set of routes (WeHo/Hollywood<->SFV, Pasadena<->SFV, Most anywhere<->downtown, etc); but it's terrible for one off/ad hoc routes or uncommon commutes.

I don't feel comfortable using it and I'd rather stick with something simple/manageable like JSON.

You say "even with higher pricing", but are also saying that higher pricing (due to taxes) would ruin the services?

Uber and Lyft fares are unsustainably low right now, and at their current prices, they depress public transit interest and ridership. But what happens in 5 years when these ride sharing companies need to turn a profit? Self driving cars is potentially a solution, I suppose, but will it be ready at that scale by then?

Not only that, but in the meantime, they may be causing more environmental harm than good: https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2018/04/how-uber-and-...

For Thai food, I used to go to Pornsak (look it up folks, they call their employees porn stars) a lot and that was good!
Treat it like a study. Only change one variable at a time and observe changes. Note any potential confounding variables. You talk as if only scientists can science or apply the scientific method, which is entirely the wrong view to take. It should be something everybody is capable of using and generally everybody is if they're genuinely interested in doing so. I've been in academia for a long time, what we do isn't that special.

We should be (and there are people who do) encouraging people to learn how their diets, their behaviors affect them emotionally, physiologically and psychologically. Scientific studies really aren't as applicable to the general population as one would like to believe. So the only way to learn is to experiment on themselves.
