The idea that this is contained to one election is laughable. This has been going on forever across the world.

Wikipedia has an extensive article citing numerous academic studies on the matter:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_electoral_intervention

> the country intervening in most foreign elections is the United States with 81 interventions, followed by Russia (including the former Soviet Union) with 36 interventions from 1946 to 2000

CRA and EEOC require equal opportunity regardless of gender. California’s data shows that women are consistently being treated unequally on corporate boards. Their law reduces unequal treatment. Please define in terms of CRA or EEOC how you think this law will result in an increase of unequal treatment and thus be in violation?

It is not so easy. The article said it timed out (on the client).

When the queue is on client, the client start the timer when the request start.
The difference is that even though the Java API was licensed under the GPL, Google did not accept the GPL license. They implemented the API without a license. Were they willing to implement their code under the GPL there would have been nothing that Oracle could have done.

I'm with others who say that an API should not be copyright-able, however it appears that in this case it doesn't matter. They may have a license! I haven't looked into it at all, but if it's true that Smartcar have implemented this API and distributed it under an MIT license, I think it will be really hard slogging to say, "We only meant to license some of the IP. We just gave a license and decided we'd wait until after the fact to tell people what it covered".

I am a huge advocate of free software, but it really bothers me when people license something without having any clue what it actually means. I can't tell you the number of projects I've encountered who say things like, "I put it under the GPL, but you can't sell it", or "I put it under an open source license, but you can't use any of the code; just look at it", or "I put this game under a free software license, but you can't use any of the story for the game because software licenses only cover code", or "I put my code in the public domain, but that doesn't mean you can make a few changes and claim that it's yours", etc, etc. If you want a "I'll tell you if it's ok after you've done it" license, don't grant a general license! Reserve all your rights and handle licencing on a case by case basis.
Well, two of them were useful, although somewhat redundant with each other. Would have been better combined into one.
ah. now I see. autocorrect. against an airflow.
The biggest selling point for Rust is a non-obvious one and one that is hard to "sell" with screenshots: refactoring. Despite having few tools for automatic refactoring, manual refactoring of large Rust codebases is a breeze: change the portion of code you care about, follow the compiler's complaints and by the end you're likely to have a codebase in a good state. I wouldn't be able to go back to a dynamic language after using Rust for so long, I'd be in constant panic about changing the smallest thing. I equate it to the same discomfort I feel when getting on a car with no seatbelts. I'm just waiting on the day when I can plug the change I want to do to rustfix and let it figure it out, with the help from the compiler.
> They operate on instinct. We can prove this.

How? Just because they demonstrate instinctual behaviour in some circumstances doesn't mean they lack self awareness or the ability for future planning. Humans also demonstrate instinctual behaviour.
I'm not a big fan of Postel's law / the Robustness Principle [1] and this is a great example why. Given the email address "anaddress@protonmail.com@presidence@elysee.fr", one piece of code parsed it as "presidence@elysee.fr" and another as "anaddress@protonmail.com". Had either piece of code just rejected it, it sounds like the bug wouldn't have existed.

(Interestingly, validating email addresses is super, super hard and generally not worth it. The one check that does seem to generally make sense is to validate that there is a single "@" in the email address with other characters to both sides - which would have worked great for this case)

Never seen a thread removed as dupe for being posted 6 months ago. Old news is reposted on HN daily. It’s hard to see this moderation as being anything other than political.
I'd imagine something actually revolutionarily useful would probably have controversial assumption breaking conventions that people would be very skeptical of along with some novel concepts and definitions most wouldn't see any value or sense in.

If this were to actually happen, I think most people would discount it as gibberish because it would appear to be wrong things based on inventiveness and misunderstanding. Which if someone with a fields medal published you take seriously but if it's someone who works retail and is talking about aliens, you're probably going to ignore.

There's a twilight zone episode about that where someone travels back in time to prevent things but isn't taken seriously and can't stop disasters.

"Don't be clever". Yes. In the CppCon 2017 opening keynote: The Learning and Teaching Modern C++. The accompagnying slide says "Don't be (too) clever" but I can't promounce parentheses :-). My point was to discourage overly clever code because "clever code" is hard to write, easy to get wrong, harder to maintain, and often no faster than simpler alternatives because it can be hard to optimize. - Bjarne Stroustrup
what's a better way to structure society than "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs";

That's not a structure. It's at best a goal or more realistically a slogan.

and specifically, why wouldn't you want to make sure each individual's needs in the society are met?

Very funny.

I'd say it's more that anyone familiar with the history of that slogan knows that the systems associated with it very consistently do not work.
This is like calling farmers speculators, because their success relies on food continuing to cost money.
That's such a scummy enforcement tactic since it's literally going out of its way to screw over people who are taking initiative to try to make money. It's not like they're flagging transactions at the paperwork stage.

But SF has its own issues beyond those of many other American cities.

There are blocks and muni buses where many adults feel understandably uncomfortable with what they see during their normal commute. I see drug use and nudity and feces on the street almost daily. I've kicked needles while walking down SF sidewalks with some regularity. I'm not a parent, but in those conditions, I wouldn't want a kid I cared about to go around unchaperoned.

Yes, America may have a fixation on children needing yards and minivans, but SF could become a much more appealing place to raise kids if it we could better address factors like the cost of housing, or the opioid crisis.
I've over 15 years professional experience in C++, around 16 years in C#, and around 14 in Python, all overlapping. For me, it's about using the right tool for the job.

It's not being a macho developer, but sometimes you need the hammer that C++ is, and you'll probably hit your thumb a few times using it.
Dereferencing a null pointer to convert it to a reference causes undefined behavior, there's nothing safe about it!

"Note: in particular, a null reference cannot exist in a well-defined program, because the only way to create such a reference would be to bind it to the “object” obtained by dereferencing a null pointer, which causes undefined behavior."
I've always felt quorn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorn) got a raw deal. They made some stupid marketing positions, they allowed the agenda to get ramped up around allergy when its ratio of risk is significantly lower than other foods including soy, and they walked into a battery hen issue needlessly.

But the fundamentals look pretty good. Its a bioreactor, it scales, it can use varying feedstock, and its good nutritive value.

TVP which proceeded it, in my highly subjective opinion was crap in comparison. It reminded me of badly cooked stewing meat, when the connective tissue is left behind and the good bits are now in the stock: you don't want to swallow this.. cellophane meat "thing"..

At 20K a year it would seem African developers would be a competitive outsourcing option for wealthier nations. Is there a reason they're not a well known name in outsourcing?

I'm guessing it might have something to do with infrastructure, when countries like India and China can compete at these prices but have the infrastructure to support working remotely.
I’m not denying the probability that others similarly situated could experience similar problems. But without the data, there’s no way to know whether the author’s situation would be experienced by a majority of website operators, or even a significant minority.
I think the question was what the biggest selling point is for those who already do e.g. C++, not for those using dynamic languages like Python.
Slowing down isn’t always an option and it’s not always safe. (What happens when all the human driven cars keep driving at normal speed? You’ve now created an unsafe traffic condition for everyone.)

> think if you need a very safe code, you shouldn't use the string_view or span without thinking about the potential consequences.

That’s the whole point: your caveat shows that’s it’s C/C++ which are unsafe in their very nature and therefore should not be used in code exposed to potentially malicious (e.g. user or network) input. Which is just about everything useful.

HPC are generally closed systems and have different threats, but the industry just needs to run (not walk) away from C/C++ for the majority of use cases.
Meredith Whittaker has a clear conflict of interest. As evidenced by her campaigning against Google's AI ethics board (and the resulting fallout), her organization's agenda for AI ethics conflicts with Google's, so she has to choose one or the other.

The answer is essentially no, at least if you're seeking substantial levels of assurance or safety. Even the C++ Core Guidelines effort, https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines which is the closest thing to what you describe and is driven by influential members of the ISO C++ community including B. Stroustrup, does not claim that they'll be able to make C++ memory safe.
The Core Guidelines are an attempt at this, but it’s not fully safe. Safer, which matters! But not safe.

There isn’t really any useful safe subset of C++. If there were, Rust may never have been created in the first place.
This behavior is the specific reason for the creation of the 2nd Amendment. Americans have the right to arm and defend themselves against criminal activity, and should do so if they wish to protect the livelihoods of themselves and their communities. Police are criminals if they engage in theft, and forfeit the special protections normally granted to them by the law.

Crazy. Wealth is certainly within reach of most people, but it requires discipline and a long, long-range saving plan.

I suppose many of those surveyed are watching the 'FIRE' folks. I think those people are high-salary people (usually), also combined with very disciplined savings and investment.

It just won't happen for wishers. Only for doers.
What I find a bit crazy is why don't large corporations do this more often? I literally told my manager when I worked at Corel that we should do this: Find a promising looking startup, clone their offering and blow them out of the water by virtue of the fact that we have 500 sales and marketing people with 20 years of experience (not to mention by being second to the market we can learn how to avoid all the legacy problems the startup endured). We were in a "new ventures" team and I figured instead of going along with cockamamie schemes dreamed up by our PGMs that had virtually no hope of success, we should enter markets that had at least some advance proven success. Nope. Not going to happen. We needed to build something that nobody had ever thought of before. While I can understand the idea, I still think its a massive mistake for an established company. Why enter markets where you can't play to your strengths (muscle)? I never could figure it out...

I'm not sure we could enact any policies that don't look like institutionalized sexism, though. As the Parable of the Polygons [1] shows, merely removing bias from a system isn't enough to break down structures that are already in place. We need to actively de-bias. Board seats are a zero-sum game, so that means we have to take some seats from men to give to women.

This is a good faith question! It doesn't seem to me that there's any real way to remove bias against women without adding bias against men, but I'm genuinely curious as to how we might do so.

shrug I don't recall seeing it in print anywhere. I've mentioned it to colleagues who study prions, and they're grossed out by the idea, but didn't think it was impossible.

I suppose you could try testing samples of hamburger for human DNA, but it would be hard to rule out innocent low levels of contamination from household dust (mostly human skin cells). Considering prions are infectious at such very low concentrations I'm not sure if any assay could rule it out.

> Every level of income pays a higher rate of taxes than the level below it according to IRS reports

Does their definition of "income" include capital gains for the purpose of those reports? I don't see how this could possibly be true if it does, given that capital gains constitute the largest part of overall income past a certain point on the scale.
To be clear it applies to their California employees.

Quite frankly, saying “The Market™ has spoken,” is a bullshit answer. The Market™ is merely the outcome of the rules we’ve setup. We decided as a society to establish certain regulations. People intentionally shaped it. To then turn around and act like this is some sort of natural occurrence and that the outcome is now somehow sacrosanct, is a gross misrepresentation of what actually happened. If we picked different rules, a different outcome would have happened. And if the outcome isn’t what we want, then we can change the rules, and a get a different outcome.

That article is judging AEB which is a safety feature that comes free on Teslas and isn't a part of the Autopilot system. It would obviously instill more confidence if Teslas performed better, but this isn't a measure of the company's Autopilot or FSD capabilities since it is entirely possible that AEB is a completely independent system.

The original statement was "China will not let a non-Chinese company ever gain top position in any sector." The fact is that no chinese company has a better position than Boeing. There are no chinese company with better position than Louis Vuitton, Chanel etc. There are no chinese companies with more profits than Apple. Those are just a few examples but they prove that that it is possible for a non-Chinese company to get top position in a sector. You should restrict your statement to "Non chinese company can get a top position in China but there will be tight control"

I think that is reductionistic and misguided. I don't know the exact inside story of course, but this is how I read it, and how I honestly think this happened. They chose to have a garbage-collected, bytecode-VM-executed, OO language as the main platform for their external apps (the internal kernel is a still Linux with its regular C interface). They decided to implement their own VM from scratch (Dalvik). They decided to use Java language, including syntax and basic system APIs, which would make it very accessible for a ton of existing developers. They could as easily gone for another syntax and base API. It wouldn't have been more effort to design and implement (arguably, it could have been less). But of course it wouldn't be such an easy sell to existing Java developers. They opted to interpret Java language and API design as an open, public value, and that's what was dealt with in court.
Autopilot isn't trying to compete with Waymo and therefore any comparison there is irrelevant. Tesla hasn't rolled out FSD publicly so it is unclear whether Tesla would have any data about it performs in Phoenix.

Yet intelligent and educated people do hold beliefs not based on facts, and are unwilling to be questioned.

> Perhaps it should give you pause that so many such people not only consider veganism not alarming but actually positive.

It gives me no pause whatsoever as I'm not someone that so easily follows the crowd. I simply take it to be the case that veganism is the flat-earth-theory of 2019.
