The quote from the article's title refers to copy and yes, with English being a rather short-ish language, translated copy will fail to stay within design constraints in pretty much all other languages.

On the other hand, except for Russians (and the dozen or so Canadians and France which owns land in almost every timezone on the planet) pretty much every country on the planet has just one timezone. So creating an app for the US market brings that nasty problem.

Apparently, the methods used for planning economies known until ~1990, executed with the computers and communication systems of the time, in countries that were relatively poor to begin with, ruled as dictatorships, did not work well enough while the USA and its allies actively fought "communism". That tells us nothing.

Guess which country is the richest in the Caribbean? Okay, it's the USA. It may hardly be a democracy anymore, it doesn't particularly respect human rights, but it hasn't regressed to developing status yet and it has free market economics up the wazoo. The richest independent country (as in, its mainland is in the Caribbean) is of course Cuba.
Yep, you are right. I identify in what you say here in many points.

Grocery stores could also put on cooking classes. Bring in a local chef and it’s also a good way to meet people, could make it a singles night.
DNS wizard checking in. This stuff was designed in the 80s and I ran BIND on the kind of potato that has a quarter of the RAM that a raspberry pi has, together with apache, mysql, php, vnc, utorrent, and some other stuff, and it still performed great. I don't know by heart which dns server pihole uses, but no, the latency added by a server on your LAN is negligible. Case in point, most (all?) routers do dns forwarding by default (is that not common in the USA? Since you mention cloudflare, which got to be slower than the default option unless you have some really cheapo isp).

Almost all criminal convictions are public record, unless sealed for a specific reason (youthful offender, perhaps).

Please cite an example of a teacher convicted of child abuse where that conviction was "hidden from the public." If anything, those cases are splashed across news websites even when there's nothing more than an accusation.

I don't disagree with your sentiment. That said, these kinds of jobs are generally poorly paid positions relative to the amount of bullshit that they have to deal with pre-employment and during employment. If we want a higher volume of "good" folks applying for these jobs, we're going to have to make their lives easier and/or raise their pay. Teaching and Policework especially are both classically stereotyped as jobs that have idealistic, hard working, underpaid people who keep things running mixed with lazy/corrupt/incompetent folks who can't get fired because they need bodies or it's bad for the optics of the organization to do so.

> Uber and Lyft “are using public roads, and the profit is going to their companies,” Phil Washington, Metro’s chief executive, said at a recent meeting.

Public roads are supposed to be paid for through fuel taxes, which every Uber and Lyft driver pays. California has gasoline taxes of:

* 55.22c per gallon (second only to Pennsylvania)

* 18.4c per gallon (federal)

* 2.25% sales tax

Additionally, taxing only ridesharing companies may increase incidences of drunk driving. Is another, poorly conceived, tax really a solution?

This is the exact attack that led to the delayed addition of service workers to safari and webkit. It’s why the shipped version is (to quote people on Twitter) “crippled” and doesn’t allow persistence of workers.

Service workers are, and shall remain, a terrible feature. The basic problem is that web navigation doesn’t involve any explicit signal by the user that they want persistent execution - installing an app locally provides that signal.
I also did Freshly for a bit. The convenience is clearly there because like you said, no cooking. I found them to be even better when you reheat in the oven too.

I eventually cancelled Freshly because I grew tired of the lack of variation.
My response to that is sentencing - and likewise appeals and nullifications - should be considered holistically according to all related convictions.

If we're being honest about the legal zeitgeist, judges are not piling on multiple life sentences because they're trying to shore up a wall of convictions, like some kind of sentencing severability clause. They do it because it's flashy and the mob likes it. That there exists a kernel of grounded benefit in it after the fact doesn't make it less ridiculous, because it's an absurdly inefficient way to handle nullifications.
What I mean by this is, VPN server itself will be setup on a cloud service (say GCP, AWS etc.,).

You will have to create your cloud account and give me the access to it for me to setup your VPN and then you'll revoke the permission for me. This will ensure that I never have access to your VPN server after I set it up. I do this to essentially give you peace of mind. I recommend creating one just for this to keep things separate from any other things you want to do with your cloud service provider.

There is really no catch here. You control what gets tracked or not tracked on your VPN server, what level of logging do you want, how many clients do you want to connect, where do you want your VPN server to run etc.,

Let me know if that clarifies your concern.

It's pretty quick. If it's running on your local network it can cache your DNS resolvers of choice and only add a few ms at most. On your network make sure to setup backup DNS resolvers when your pi-hole is updating etc.

What kind of restaurants are you thinking of?

I've never eaten in a restaurant and thought they're bulking on potatoes.

I find restaurants steer very clear of potatoes because they don't have any wow factor, and with the volume of food that goes to waste in most restaurants to produce a perfect little plate are they really worried about how much the raw materials are costing them?

I do try to explain more in depth (too much). I'm working a lot on this and stop explaining when the main basis is covered, but my pragmatic approach forces me to cover ALL the parts.

I also agree with @WheelsAtLarge about that I might now know a subject as good as I think. When I start explaining something, I realize that I came short on explaining some parts because I lack the knowledge.

It would be interesting to see what adding radon would do to the section on air pollution (arguably, radon is a form of air pollution, albeit not particulate).

Since the current estimate in the USA is about 10,000 deaths per year (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2118410), with of course, some dissent (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5590909/), this is large enough to show up on the graph, especially for the developed countries.

Unfortunately, getting good data on radon-related death rates is difficult, as it must be parsed out of lung cancer rates with a number of assumptions applied. I figure that getting good data is in your wheelhouse. If not, I could probably put you in touch with someone at AARST or NRSB who may have better data.

Must not include trying to distribute live feed data to millions of simultaneous users. You get to a point where reads and/or writes are beyond what a single computer can handle... this is where an SQL server breaks down. This is where you start to make certain trade-offs in design in order to handle certain kinds of load.

Honestly, I don’t know why fake Amazon reviews are not more of an issue. This really is a huge problem that should be getting covered in mainstream media the way Facebook is scrutinised about privacy. Millions of people are being swindled out of real money.

I can't remember the last time I actually cooked using a recipe. The only thing I use them for these days is a quick glance at the general ingredients in a dish for something i've never made before, or any special cooking instructions.

Cooking is more about knowing the properties and flavours of your ingredients and knowing which work well together. Once you know that, you can make pretty much anything.

Baking though i'd say is an exception. The ratios of ingredients and the orser you combine and the methods you use are fairly important to get exact. Baking is a lot like chemistry.

I've also been lucky enough to have a copy of this book lying around.

https://www.amazon.ca/Cooking-Textbook-Culinary-Fundamentals...

I wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless you want to work in a kitchen, but it's pretty awesome.
Do you mean to say that that is necessarily the case, or merely that it, in the actual world, is the case?

I don’t believe that to be a necessary truth, true in all possible worlds.

i.e. I believe that it is possible for there to be a cop who is not a “crook”.

Which, I suppose follows from the fact that I am not an anarchist.

As such, I believe it to be desirable that there be a cop who is not a “crook”.

I think that an important part of discouraging misbehavior among law enforcement is not only to threaten punishment against anyone who, while acting as an instrument by which the state enforces the law, abuses the power they have been lent for that purpose, but in addition, the state must be seen to actually dole out this punishment to its agents when they abuse the power lent to them.

It should be seen that it will not tolerate abuse done in its name.

Of course, in order for this to be seen, it must first be done.

But, another requirement is that, if any agent (of law enforcement) of the state does about the power, that this certainly should not be kept secret!

That, I think, is enough reason for me to care.
Remember, the average American commits ~3 felonies per day: https://www.amazon.com/Three-Felonies-Day-Target-Innocent/dp...

If anything, this list indicates that the legal system in the US is in need of an overhaul. That officers would be swept up in the same net we all are, should not be unexpected. Given their daily proximity to law enforcement, having a higher number than the average population should not necessarily come as a surprise.

The way to tell if they really are more 'criminal' than the rest of the population would be to look at the felony rates of judges, para-legals, lawyers, court-recorders, bailiffs, wardens, people who live/work close to precincts, etc. If your physical proximity to an officer is related to the felony rate, then this should come fall out of the data.

In essence, based on your napkin-math, further research is very much required for the sake of public safety.
Because it's a really, really hard problem to solve. The sheer scale of Amazon combined with razor thin margins and the fact that Amazon isn't even the selling party on most products means that they can't just throw a bunch of manual labor at the problem.

It's a similar problem to YouTube still hosting tons of copyrighted material. Fraud is just super hard to fight.

It only gives you critical thinking if you... critically think about it. Not by its very nature.

>they require ignoring what an education actually means and instead assuming it's just deferring to a (different) bunch of books.

But thats the key. People do that. All the time. In practice, education doesn’t follow your idealized version of it. Education, by which I mean western education, struggles to even resemble the ideal, and if anyone tells you to go get educated (thinking of the ideal), they will lead you to a very different path, because it’s done as an accident of the education system (that is, a mistake, a rarity).

My point is that people don’t think that hard about what they learn; regardless of the source. All the fantasicism and cargo culting of programming communities are a direct result of this: fully educated people falling prey to the same mistakes you can accuse any religious follower of.

Both (educated) liberals and conservatives accuse each other of these mistakes on a daily basis.

Education isn’t magic; you should be applying the same skepticism to it as anything else, and it becomes fairly obvious that people can and do make the same mistakes they do with the bible as they do with the textbook

> there's exactly one use case where the blockchain is a superior [- illegal transactions]

To start off, the reason cryptocurrencies have survived this long is probably due to the fact that the dark web thrives on it. That said it's certainly not a reason to outlaw it.

What about the situations where the legal system is questionable? Off hand I've read stories about a lot of poker players who've gotten cash confiscated when flying. What about [insert stories here]?

How about a means to store (and transfer) value, where you can be certain - given your measures of security is sound - that no one but you (or multisig) can access it? If I store cash at home I can get robbed. If I own property it can be destroyed (loopholes in insurance policies, betrayal of other forms, military state).

I remember the feeling I had a few years back when I had my own bitcoin in a paper "wallet" (actually a master seed with my personally devised cipher), protected by the (mental) measures of my choosing, it was mine. Yes, that caters well to illegal activities but likewise also empowers individual privacy, as well as removing any political, governmental or other influences. Power to the individual.

It's not the monetary system's role to regulate how people behave in society, merely to facilitate transfer of value. If that transfer method can't be trusted alternatives will spring up. On that note if there are better people on the planet the methods of value transfer matters less. If there was more trust in financial institutions there would be less need for cryptocurrencies. On HN people advocate having backups of backups, but how do you backup your money in the bank? You're trusting them.

Yes, drug lords exist and have existed in the past thanks to anonymous transactions, but... there is corruption in banking systems (offshore accounts) and whatever systems and we should/could question why there are drug lords in the world in the first place. They wouldn't have a place here if things were better organized. Either by more happy people (having less want/need for stimulants, given a bleak outlook on humanity), by giving the people the freedom to explore their minds more freely (psychedelics) or simply (as a step on the way) give the state the power to regulate as opposed to making everything illegal.

I would expect more of HN than to have this as a top comment. Let's just ban cash altogether because the only thing it's useful for is enabling illegal transactions. Sigh. Quite a naive way of looking at things. What you're suggesting is doing what they're doing in China (and US and other countries as well) with the credit ratings of everyone without any chance of living a normal life unless you're subscribed to the system in place. Add hyper surveillance à la mega corps and no one can escape. Please keep the beacon lit for at least some of the measures in place to insure personal freedom.
