It's a bit more complex than that, because (in most of the United States) intent becomes irrelevant once there is an actual death.

If you bring a gun to a mugging and it ends up killing someone - even if it went off accidentally - it's considered first degree murder. No matter what your intent, you willfully created the circumstance that led to someone's death.

From a purely technical legal perspective, robbing someone with a gun isn't attempted murder until they get shot, and then it was premeditated willful murder.

Many countries (Norway would be an example) have special taxes on cars that takes into account a variety of metrics around pollution, weight and engine capacity, as well as price. Overall car taxes in Norway are among the highest in the world, to the extent that it massively skews which car models people buy.

Here's the Norwegian tax authorities form for calculating taxes. While not all the descriptive text is available in English it seems most of the form is:

>because everybody will use USB-C cables

That is assuming all USB-C Cable will support all power combinations ( They don't ) All USB 3.2 Speed ( They Don't ), and All Thunderbolt Spec ( They Don't ).

And it is precisely this comment that makes me thick why USB-C has won. Until the problem becomes so wide spread you have to test each cable whether it is working as intended before people will call for changes.
The question is not if they will, but if they can.
Elon Musk “Thursday 2pm”
Not one of those sources in the Wikipedia article had any evidence other than news articles about one UN committee member saying she saw evidence of it being 1 million people in camps. Not firsthand, just reports.

Every other article on the fact repeats this. Nearly a dozen citations and it's all just news articles about the same story.

I tried searching for the UN committee on racial discrimination tabled documents but couldn't find anything.

Is there any serious estimate of the number of people actually interned in these camps or is it all a game of Chinese whispers (pun not intended)

I have witnessed firsthand how indifferent mainlanders are to these things but think the original comment has merit.

Where's the actual non biased numbers?
Most of these vulnerabilities won't matter to most users. Privilege escalation, inside a docker container (mostly) doesn't go very far, and developers should avoid providing code execution to users in the first place.

With docker, you will attempt a defense in depth. Even if someone breaks into an app in a container, it can be very hard to break into other containers or the host.

I suspect that many, maybe most developers have lower hanging fruits on the security tree than upgrading deployed docker containers daily.

The removal of a vulnerability which can't be used as a link in the "kill chain" of a hacker attacking your system isn't improving security that much.

Another connection is this:

Part of how Dry works is that you give it a data model for your application (which can be quite complex) and we automatically generate the code for storing, retrieving, sharing, etc. that data. Normally for any cloud app that scales, this takes a fair amount of thought and expertise. We automate a lot of that without the programmer even needing to know it's happening.
Regulations rarely target sustainability anyway. The only thing typically regulated is water rights and chemicals used.
Ask HN: Whois for AWS Route 53?
Is there a way to access whois records for Route 53? I cannot for the life of me find a way to query their domain records. If I lookup a domain registered through Route 53 using another whois lookup tool, it will point me to `registrar.amazon.com` which just redirects to the Route 53 landing page. I have crawled through their entire sitemap looking for a search tool but have yet to find one.

Anyone have any info on whois records with Route 53? Thanks.
The non-bot interpretation of the comment you replied would be that he/she was wondering why more people don't feel that way.
Aah, that's a beautiful dream of a unified, wired communication technology standard.

That's what we need more of, a coherent vision to guide design and development. Early Apple had that, it feels like, then lost the coherence in the 2010's. The phrase "design by committee" is often used to characterize what not to do, so it seems design by a small focused group or individual tends to go in the right direction. But there must be real-world examples of successful "design committees" or "standards bodies", who avoided the gravity/entropy towards producing monsters of complexity and compromise..
I wish that the Democrats would concede on abortion, guns, religion, racism and everything else - as long as the one thing they do get is a majority that will start dealing with our climate emergency

I don't think you have a handle on the right's agenda in the United States, nor how the left can create a majority. Conceding the issues that you describe here would take the United States further away from dealing with our climate emergency.

> However in the present day it's usually the agressors that play the peace makers and cause much of the conflict around the world.

History is written by the victors, and always has been. You're only likely to approach the truth (or at least, approach making it generally accepted) when it can't threaten the powerful enough to matter. There's a reason why it usually takes 50-100 years for a country to admit major wrongdoing (i.e. the U.S. apologizing for Japanese internment, or Britain apologizing for forcefully exporting children to Australia).
I don’t perceive anyone here to be claiming that war is good.

Rather, we simply don’t know of any viable alternate to the existence of defensive militaries, right now: So long as human aggression exists, those unable or unwilling to defend themselves against forceful attacks will inevitably be stomped out of existence.

This is why to sustain a peace-loving society, that society need to be capable of exerting physical force defensively if need be, even if that capability is never actually used (in fact, to have the capability but never use it is the ideal goal).

Pure pacifism only exists in a bubble of ignorance to the existence of the military and police that are already there defending it, or by pure chance that no aggressor has yet stomped over it. As such, it’s certainly not real pacifism, unless you also make sure to move to a part of the world where there’s no police or military defense forces. These are hard to find, because where and when they exist, they do not exist for very long except for extreme good luck (like geographic isolation).

Maybe some day, humanity’s groups will figure out a better solution to aggressive behavior than everyone holding metaphorical guns to each other’s heads, but it doesn’t look like we’re anywhere near there yet. Remember — all it takes is one aggressor to stomp all over a world of pacifists, so local solutions here do not work, or if they appear to work, it will only be momentary.
Improving security is a classic 80/20 situation.

I spent a lot of my childhood in Beverly Hills and still have friends in the area: what you're saying has historically been absolutely true, but in the last 5 years, my perception has been that the seemingly all-the-time-and-everywhere traffic has gotten to the point where even people living in the nice parts of West LA are fed up and opening up to a functional transit system.

This is obviously somewhat anecdotal, though; it's possible that for some reason my sample is skewed enough that it's different from the population's views in general.
That alternate universe really did almost exist. You can still see the remnants over at http://www.nuigroup.com/go/lite.

10 years ago there was a booming scene of open source natural user interface projects. People building huge multitouch interfaces, experimenting, releasing open SLAM tools, and exploring what you could do with DIY AR/VR/projection maping/natural feature tracking/gesture interfaces. Post the success of the first Oculus dev release all of the forums went quiet, the git repos started being unmaintained and outright scrubbed. The main contributors to the community got scooped up by the motherships and any supporting technologies locked down in what felt like about six months to a year. Leap Motion was a standout company from that time. They have been selling the exact product they built then with almost no improvement until recently. Somehow they weathered the storm, didn't sell, and are doing some really neat stuff now. Structure IO took up the stewardship of OpenNI and if you look hard enough you can still find cross platform installers that have the banned original kinect tech that Apple bought and is extremely litigious about keeping off the internet.
Great thread. I'm going to use this as an opportunity to plug Serious Eats (no affiliation, just a satisfied reader). The editor is an MIT trained chemist who also is incredible at cooking, and the recipes not only always just work, but the reason why they work gastronomically is always spelled out in very clear detail.

Outside of that, I generally have the same issue with cooking ethnic cuisine. The specialized equipment is different, it's challenging (and crucial) to get specialty ingredients, new techniques need to be learned. But, most importantly, you have to know how it's supposed to taste, otherwise it's impossible to approach cooking it properly. I was never able to make a proper mapo tofu until I had my first really really good one and realized what I was missing (good Szechuan peppercorns).

The problem with Scientism is that the very utterance of the word sets up a Straw Man.

But I do get where you're coming from, having followed some of the same articles you've been referencing in your posts.

I think Deepak Chopra had some useful things to say. He is normally derided as trafficking in woo, especially in his remarks about James Randi.

But if you read what he has to say, his position makes sense. A lot of otherwise intelligent people fall into materialism as a sort of intellectual default and it's not wrong to challenge this.

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/deepak-chopra/skepticism-and-...

And this in turn goes back to what Alan Watts had to say, the idea that materialism should be resisted in spite of its surface plausibility.

Fast and stable DB.

In 2011 I wrote PHP client for Redis with features like tags, safe locks, map/reduce. It was heavily tested and users had no issues - and since there was no issues, it was removed from the list of clients after few years as "abandoned". Nobody even tried to contact me :)
Now I don't use PHP and barely use Redis so it's all in past. But that experience taught me a lot of new things.

Salvatore Sanfilippo, you are great programmer. Redis API is elegant, safe and effective. I personally had 0 data losses all years I use Redis. And this DB is always extremely fast.

Every php framework got away from that for really good mesure, including not having your logic in the server document root.

IMHO unless you are building a http daemon, "your logic" should probably not include routing http requests. Using directory tree, url rewriting or generally leaving the controller part of your logic to the underlying httpd is probably fine in most php projects. Note: php frameworks can't do microservices

Charging for use of the road is the only way to balance supply and demand for road. More at peak times and a discount off-peak. Fixed price subscriptions for your commute.

But I see no reason to treat Uber cars differently, except that having a driver does not qualify to one to use the carpool lane (which I would eliminate anyway)!

I'd also allow subscribers and those who buy ahead to sell their prepaid trip when the price surges. Wait an hour and make $5 when there's an accident.

I have an idea for you. Why don't you setup your own mini-local area network and host an open source solution similar to codepen (search for "open source web-based IDEs")? Then every student can connect to your LAN and access the IDE as well as store the data in your local server (You can back it up to S3 on a daily basis as well). It shouldn't cost much and will solve your connectivity and data privacy concerns.
That's basically what every white-boarding coding exercise is - pattern recognition based on computer science trivia. It's not illegal - every tech company does it.

I read the article but didn't watch the video but isn't this essentially code generation/metaprogramming that we already have? In rails you don't have to write a fraction of the code that actually runs because its generated for you.

Also the AI part is very worrying. To me this sounds like a programming language where no one exactly knows what the rules are and every update to the training model could break everything. Imagine trying to debug an issue when there is no documentation or any knowledge on what is going on.

That was almost 80 years ago, whereas China is doing this today. Past US actions don't somehow invalidate current complaints about massive human rights violations by the CCP. This is purely whataboutism.
I recently talked about Pi-Hole in another thread[0]: I'm using Wireguard in combination with Pi-Hole on a cheap VPS as a VPN on my iPhone, it's blazingly fast and super stable. Will be trying this on my Mac as well now. I only allow access to the console from a fixed IP-address to add whitelists when needed. Everything loads much faster, websites, even apps I feel, though it might just be wishful thinking that last one.

I saw your comments fixing it - which is pretty awesome by the way (& I hope you've taken on board the other comments regarding securing it even further).

Due to PHP experience, this would've been something that I ensured was implemented properly from the outset. I know this to be true, because I've dabbled in the very space you're working in now, and it was one of the very first things I ensured: that no file could be served except from direct descendants. (I rethought my project and tossed the code)

For something like this you need to be absolutely sure about security. Have a look at the annals of PHP security issues - and most likely you'll see a lot of similarities that you'll need to make sure you address.

Green mass of the leafs is the captured carbon dioxide that doesn't contribute to a greenhouse effect. Even if all leafs will be oxidized in a year, it doesn't matter because new leafs will emerge. Though I'm not sure about actual green mass on the Earth and cannot compare it with mass of CO2 in athmosphere, maybe it is too small to have any effect.
Your heart's in the right place, but trying to save the world by focusing on a gas in our atmosphere is probably not the best way to do it.

Whether you're right or not about C02 being a problem, it's more important that we increase child nutrition and education, having a couple million more smart & able people to help with stewarding Humanity and Earth will probably do everyone a lot more help.

> You are correct, anyone of any age can sign a contract, but a contract in almost all states with an under-age person means basically nothing, not even the paper it's printed on.

That's not at all correct (though, frankly, it's about the level of wrong if expect from someone who focuses on who can sign a contract rather than who can form one); I would summarize the usual legal rule, but I already did that in the post you responded to.

> plays, sports, etc are all generally open to the public and are sponsored by the school.

Public schools absolutely can make money at it, unless the particular state law or board policy prohibits them from deriving revenue beyond recovering associated costs from rentals, which isn't, AFAIK, the norm.
