As much as I hate Cambridge I'm having a hard time finding fault with this. Bike lanes fit their needs really well.
I can easily outperform your app on any client by assigning more sets per during the week, more tonnage, than the app. It's the fine line of not getting adapted to bunch of work in the beginning to enable long term gains. People should be doing the minimal necessary dosage of stimulus.
I'd be confident with periodically testing just little random parts.

For me this is a "last resort backup", costs little to keep around, and god-forbid we ever need it. BUT that means we need to account for the case were we do need it! And if it's going to cost too much then there's no point in the backup anyway.
I think this sort of process, assuming the privacy and security teams have their say, is an absolutely legitimate part of product improvement.
"Fast" is relative here. It's fast compared to Glacier and others, but it's going to be slower than the more expensive tiers.

You agreed to the terms of use, they’re doing expected work to anyone that has any idea how this all works, there seems to be no malicious intent even implied. IDK, if you don’t want someone potentially listening you, don’t put an Echo in your home.
im curious to see how this plays out in the context of the julian assange "insurance" file? will it be released?
Not exclusively. There has been a lot of conversation about ending “chain migration”, which is legal migration based on family connections, as well as eliminating the diversity visa.

Today’s immigration talks do center around illegal immigration, but it’s wrong to say that occupies it “almost entirely”.

What is your company size? If you're hiring sales reps (multiple) and customer support (multiple) you've got to be more than 30? Because at less than that just use personal referrals.

How elite are you talking? Is it a case where you're doing <X> and you want to hire (this one guy at Facebook who invented X)? Or just "really good devs"? This makes a difference. For key people targeted poaching may work (it will cost you more than normal hiring of 1 person, but probably not even 3x more, and if it's a truly key position you may need the one expert on the subject). If it's a more general position, but you just want someone smart enough, you can try asking your top 30% or so employees to ask all their friends if they're looking, or if the 3 or so people they or those friends would judge to be their best ex-coworkers are looking. You need a referral from someone who's worked with the person at some point, to ascertain their work (not social) performance, but it doesn't need to be a 1st degree referral, because your employees' immediate network, regardless if they're a fit for you, are probably pretty smart.

If location is an issue (you're not in a metropolis and your location is not known for tech) contact the local university's career services department.
I'm a huge fan of protected bike lanes. Chicago has a few of them, and they are far less stressful to ride on compared to just basic striping on the road.

By far the biggest issue I have with striped bike lanes is trying guess when an Uber driver is going to do something crazy when picking up or dropping off a passenger.
Maybe you need to communicate better instead.
I mean, if you don't let your government gas civilians, it's not like there's anything there worth leaking.
It's different though, because horses are developed and manufactured by nature. They don't require a huge enterprise and depth of engineering to mass produce them, nor do they require fueling infrastructure. When the supply chain supporting the mass produced internal combustion engine dies, the internal combustion powered enthusiast car dies with it.
>What are you talking about?

"The fact that you thought this would be a convincing argument is extremely laughable and again, palpably ridiculous."

Which actually probably better applies to your statement about Google specifically being built for US consumers, which is obviously nonsense.

Google works great in Finnish which is a terribly complicated and small language, doesn't seem like an US consumer only product to me.

And anyway, if we're going to focus on the English language word for the Amazon river, then we'd be better off focusing on the English-speaking market. A quick look at wikipedia shows that very few languages besides English use "Amazon".

The key distinction is that suburbs are largely residential and composed of lower density housing, which does not describe Cambridge accurately.

Future generations? Isn't exactly how modern technology operates? Methinks tech priests have not yet realized how much power they hold over the masses, or how uninformed these really are.

> So, in the initial phase, he gets to decide that charges against him are bogus, and that he doesn't need to submit?

Are you supposed to let your accuser have 100% say in whether you are guilty, even if you believe the system is rigged against you and you are acting in good faith?

Such an attitude is subservient and enables totalitarian governments to operate under the guise of justice.

You have to understand that nothing gives any body of government legitimacy just because other governments recognize it. The only thing that gives your government power is your permission as a citizen. My country was founded on this sentiment.

When Martin Luther King said:[0]
"I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law,"

he was not thinking of whistleblowers and the fact that their greatest impact on society comes from maintaining their sovereignty in spite of globally coordinated efforts to censor and imprison them.

Assange was operating in good faith that his life's work might end the moment he stepped foot back in Sweden. He chose not to recognize the authority of a State he was actively politically engaged with. Countries do this every day.

Just because he doesn't have an army behind him to legitimize his claim to sovereignty, doesn't mean he doesn't have the right to that claim and the right to achieve his sovereignty by any means that can be ethically justified.

To claim that he does not get the right to decide for himself, as all men do, whether to recognize what a particular group of people with guns and land command of him, is to claim that he is not human, because that is a natural human right.

I have personally been the victim of an illegal charge despite overwhelming evidence in my favor, and received the maximum possible fines and jail sentence. Going to jail made sense because I wanted to just get my life back on track after my government destroyed it, as soon as possible. But it was not the morally responsible thing to do. I didn't even commit the crime I was convicted for. The morally responsible thing to do would have been to not submit myself to the illegitimate city government which prosecuted me.

> I'd love to know what civil freedoms of yours you believe are going to be impinged by virtue of this post.

I lived in Boston/Cambridge about eight years ago and found it to be the most bicyclist-unfriendly city I had ever lived in (there are certainly worse, I just haven’t had that misfortune). I’ve been honked at by obnoxious drivers before, but only in Boston would drivers routinely slow down to call me a “f----ing f-gg--t” for being on the road.

NYC drivers might be jerks, but I never got the impression that they were actively malevolent.

Brian McGrory, editor of the Boston Globe, penned this great little op-ed, “Make Boston Bicycle-Free” back in 2011. I wonder how he feels about this win for the f-gg--ts in his city. http://archive.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/...
Because I believe in multilayered security. No one approach to security is sufficient, but combining as many approaches as possible can allow each approach to help cover the weaknesses of the other approaches.

Also, I disagree that denying the lookup of certain domain names is abusing DNS. If I were running a DNS server that was being used by the public, or that was being used by downstream DNS servers, that would be different.

Also, I'm not aware of a method that can accomplish the sort of coverage that blocking DNS lookups can. If you have an alternative, I'd be genuinely interested in hearing about it.

Well they're the only people offering anything this quality unless your one of the hundreds of people in Phoenix that can order a Waymo (that still has a person driving).

Well my 'driving assistance' drove me 95% of the way to work this morning hands free feet free, seems pretty appropriate to call it autonomous to me.

Will a Fragile Banking System Survive Future Runs?
If a user has some constraints such as lack of some equipments or some movements they can’t do due to health reasons, do you guys handle it? It would be amazing if your algorithms can work around those constraints (if there are some exercises the user can’t do, offer an alternative based on what the user can do and what equipment they have access to). I didn’t see it in the app.

Also I know that everyone does it, but the “free trial but we’ll charge you even if you don’t use the app and just forgot to cancel” is something that I really dislike. Maybe it’s an AppStore limitation but I rather do a trial and only pay if I actually use it, not if I forgot to cancel.

Lastly, maybe it’s after the paywall, but not everyone knows what all the routine names mean, if I have to google it, it’s something I expect the app to include. (A diagram / video of how to do it the right way)

Other than that, looks exciting and a really nice take on this topic.
> A true random number generator definitely has structure. That's the structure in the definition of randomness.

True randomness has no structure because that's what makes it inherently unpredictable. Don't confuse pseudo-randomness with randomness.

The fact that the output may conform to a distribution over many samples does not necessarily entail it has structure. Whether true randomness actually exists is an open question. The things we model as random variables could easily be pseudo-random variables whose internals we are simply ignorant of, like how quantum uncertainty is eliminated in Bohmian mechanics.

Ask HN: Do you feel Apple products have become too expensive?
I have been using primarily Apple equipment for the last 8 years. It is still my preferred hardware to work with. It was always on the premium side of things, but I still believe 999$ Macbook Air was the best offer on the market for a while.

Recently however, I feel like I do not get enough of Apple to warrant constantly and sharply rising prices, starting with iPhone breaking $1000 barrier.

How do you feel about it? Are you still getting enough bang for your buck?

It depends on the extradition treaty and the delivering country's law. Technically the US doesn't extradite people to the US, other states extradite people to the US upon their request in accordance to an extradition treaty.

The UK courts are still yet to decide whether there is a legal basis to extradite Assange. For example, the extradition of Lauri Love was denied by the court, which was also for computer related crimes allegedly carried out outside of US territory.

>has Amazon done anything wrong here?

There's the contract that was actually signed, which Amazon didn't break, and then there's the contract people think they signed. It's generally considered your fault when you sign a contract with the devil and get tricked, but the devil is still evil. In other words, Amazon is evil in this situation and their customers made a mistake. If it had been made clear to non-technical people that they would get listened to by the listening device, then it would all be on them. However, this comes as a surprise to the average person, because it doesn't take that much work to encourage a false belief in the mind of a non-expert.
How easy (or not) would it be to embed one of these in a markdown file (e.g., README.md)? Seems to me that might be a significantly better way to do code examples for a given repo.
I personally know 3 ppl that died in chicago. Two of them were my coworkers, died in the same year. :/

Sorry but if you have kids and family you are fucking stupid to ride bikes on the street in chicago. White bikes on sidewalks are not street art. Go to lakeshore path/606 if you are dying to ride bikes.

I got doored 2 yrs ago escaped only with broken wrist.
My biggest problem with unprotected bike lanes here in Manhattan is that they are so frequently illegally blocked, not just by Taxis/FHVs but also by people parking in them. And a lot of the unprotected bike lanes are basically just the door zone of a line of parked cars, so you need to ride to the far outside of it to avoid getting doored.

There's entire block-long stretches that I'll stay out of the unprotected bike lane entirely for, because it's so frequently blocked or so close to parked cars that it's more dangerous to be in there.

The protected bike lanes, on the other hand, are much better. I wish we'd get this law here.
Maybe Google could spend that money figuring out how to stop making money on pirated content instead of saying the problem is too hard because it happens too much.

Look at my comment history for a recent example of a thread talking endlessly about cats and assange being an alleged rude house guest. it's constantly misdirected on reddit too.
> I'd gladly pay twice as much for it to be better.

Some other comments mentioned classism, and anti-social passengers, but a less emotionally charged way of framing it is just in terms of price discrimination.

Busses and subways have no "first class" or "business class" section. The passengers who would pay double or triple are doing so in their car payments, insurance, and gasoline, and riding in relative comfort, and the people left riding the bus are mostly those who aren't willing to pay more.

It's going to be difficult to get people to put their car payments toward better bussing, while still keeping it accessible to those who want to pay less.
