"The prosecution is under a duty to pursue all reasonable lines of enquiry in an investigation, and to disclose to the defence any material it uncovers which may be reasonably capable of undermining the prosecution case or assisting the defence."

If you, as the victim, did not know the attacker and there was no reasonable reason to suspect you did know each other then your phone would not be requested into evidence.

You have to remember the vast majority of rapes are committed by parties who know each other previously, which is why it's so relevant to this specific crime.
Thought the same! Haha

I'm currently experimenting with migrating a side project to now 2.0. It has been a learning experience, for sure. But so far I think that it has been time well spent.

My overarching goal is to be able to create and deploy a new web app, from scratch, and just have the platform take care of all the boring stuff that should just work.

So far I've been pretty pleased with nextjs and now 2.0, especially once I grokked the lambda concept and found out how to slice my old express server into vertical pieces. Also, I had to realize that the monorepo model was the right fit.

I'm not quite up and running yet on now 2.0 but I'll be any day now. Curious as to how it will affect my bill.
> "Why this is at all the business of the AG of NY is the real question here."

Because investors based in New York are being swindled by Bitfinex/Tether?

From the AG's site:

"In November 2018, the Attorney General issued subpoenas to Bitfinex and Tether, which are owned and operated by the same small group of individuals, and claim not to do business in New York. As alleged in court papers filed by the Attorney General’s office, the Bitfinex trading platform allows New Yorkers to purchase and trade virtual currencies, including the so-called “tether” stablecoin, a virtual currency the companies long claimed was “backed 1-to-1” by U.S. dollars held in cash reserve."
https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/attorney-general-james-annou...

You can't escape financial regulations by claiming that you don't do business in jurisdiction X while simultaneously taking investment money from people in that jurisdiction.
I suspect because public IP isn't the same thing as WiFi. You could have multiple public IPs on any WiFi network. Or even multiple SSIDs per public IP. Where as the SSID is more analogous with "WiFi" (at least in terms of what the average user might understand).

The problem with SSIDs is they're not globally unique. So you need some way of identifying one SSID from another with the same name. Hence why they store both.
Fractional reserve does not create money it just specifies what % of money a bank can loan out.
It doesn't matter.

- For most new businesses the main challenge is finding a product market fit. So you should use something that will let iterate faster.

- If you aim to build a great team. Attract talent. Go for quality over quantity. Most programming languages have a community around them. Find a community that shares your values. Going for non-mainstream languages often attracts some high caliber people.

funny because most contaminants in water and air come from China and India

what is the UK environmental minister going to do about that?

unless the rest of the world agrees on the need on both regulate local industry and heavily tax import from unregulated countries nothing is going to change for the planet situation

the rest are mostly feel-good measures that carry increased cost on the population without shifting the global scenario very much.

If only some scary entity with far reaching powers could make everyone scared enough to make a run on the Tether bank...
Symptomatic for that business that cost is not mentioned in the whole announcement. I am getting more and more skeptic against all serverless because the cost is really difficult to estimate, plan, and manage. Of course if used right some of these services can be cost-efficient. But in real life not all SW is done right...

If you buy a server and run a poorly architectured system on it you note that it does not perform and need to make changes.

If you use serverless and run a poorly architectured system on it you pay and you need to make changes (after someone noted the bill). Yes, there are cost reports but they are not easy to use and understand. With a performance bottleneck the system limits while you are trying to understand the performance measurements. In the cloud case you are paying while trying to understand what is wrong.

Of course in a big corporation money does not matter to a software developer. But in a small company the bill paid to the cloud provider might have a direct impact on the company being able to pay your salary in the near future.

Shoddy development and Samsung go hand in hand. No matter the product - their customizations on top of Android are invariably bonked after an OS update, their watch OS is weird and buggy to develop for, their mobile OS(that they seem to have abandoned) was also weird and buggy to develop for and irritatingly hard to deploy to...

all they seem to focus on is a finished LOOKING end product. i rejected a job at samsung dev based only on that knowledge - who wants to work for a company with an almost institutional disregard for software?
Glad it's been brought to light, but does seem to be a problem that is solve-able.

I do not understand the point "EVs are extremely useful for daily grid management." and the image https://innovationorigins.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Sch...

I am imagining most cars will be plugged in at night when there is no solar energy produced,do they imply you can buffer energy in the cars battery and you can extract some if is needed or that you can charge it in smart ways, like charge slower if the grid is not at full capacity.

Are there disadvantages for the battery life or charging time?

Docker buildx: extended build capabilities with BuildKit
I switched my desktop to Arch recently. It's decent, but I'd really only recommend it for people who want a minimal system that works just the way they want it to work, and won't mind spending time on it.

There are a lot of components that have to work together for a Linux desktop to provide the features most people take for granted nowadays. If you don't want to bother with tinkering, Fedora provides one such configuration that generally works out of the box. Arch provides you with pacman and a really good wiki.
I don’t know if that many people today actually think their electric car is far better than traditional ICE vehicles, but that doesn’t matter.

Wow, this article by the New York times is so different than what news have reported in the UK here. It reads like a cheap tabloit newspaper aimed at getting people angry over an issue by purposefully leaving out facts and details which I would consider borderline lies.

The new law is aimed not for any crime victims, but specifically rape and serious sexual offence victims.

> "It comes after a number of rape and serious sexual assault cases collapsed when crucial evidence emerged."

Being pleasant costs you nothing and yields tremendous benefits. And you can still disagree with people and not be a pushover. I can have a debate with someone and not be a rude, unpleasant person.
To me, the big story is not so much that he attempted it, or that he tried to cover it up, or that he got busted doing something totally illegal, or that he was never prosecuted criminally, or that the judge threw out the initial settlement for being hilariously low, or that the revised settlement was still a small fraction of the billions estimated that the conspirators cheated away from staff...

It is that all of this happened, was well documented and publicly reported... and Google’s board did absolutely nothing. He continued in high ranking positions there for another ~decade. They sent a clear message that they find this sort of criminal conspiracy to be A-OK, nothing worth firing the guy over, or indeed reprimanding him in any meaningful way whatsoever.

To me that’s a bigger story than the Andy Rubin thing.

The one that gets me is if a person I am friends with replies to a comment from someone I'm not friends with on a public post with a lot of comments.

Facebook puts this in my news feed saying "X replied to a comment on this post" and showing the post. But if I go to comments, it doesn't surface the comment that my friend replied to (or their reply). Why tell me the comment exists and then not let me see it?
Yeah, it is not going to happen through such ways. No way. Whoever would want to do it would be getting pressure from influential people on multiple fronts. Let us play with the thought though. Who would go through such risks? What would they gain from it?
How can we persuade stakeholders to take climate change effects serious and work towards a greenhouse gas emission free world? And why is corporate action not en par with actions of corporate owners, e.g. https://www.gatesnotes.com/Energy/My-plan-for-fighting-clima...?
Noel Brown was the director of the UN Environmental Program in North America. He's going to be sourcing whatever internal figures they're working with. And yeah, given that he is the directory of the program in North America, I expect you're right that he was referencing fahrenheit and not celsius. I assumed celsius as he was described simply as a "senior UN Environment official." Given he directed the program in North America and was likely being interviewed in this context for public consumption, I agree it was probably fahrenheit. This, however, does not really change the point. Hitting 1.2 when you claim that "1 to 7" is "the most conservative scientific estimate" indicates a general tendency of inflation.

The reason I chose this report was it was the earliest authoritative statement I could find on climate change that we could then test against reality. I'm sure you appreciate that this sort of hyperbole is not an isolated incident. Would it really change your mind if I dug up x more authoritative sources of predictions that were completely unrealistic? Even with the IPCC report we ended up barely squeeking by the bottom of their range which was 0.6.

So results are putting us at or below the bottom of most all estimates. Why is this? And going forward, why should we expect the results to be more accurate? I don't think these are particularly radical questions to ask. To be clear I'm completely in favor of mitigating against carbon emissions, even for reasons that have nothing to do with climate change. I enjoy the outdoors. Millions of internal combustion engines, fossil fuel driven refineries, etc do not do pleasant things to the outdoor experience. The only thing I'm not in favor of is people freaking out to the point that they think climate change is "the most probable factor for the possibility of a near-term extinction event." That's nonsense by any measurement and is counter productive to ever actually getting anything done, though you might help spur on a loony or two with a few screws loose.

Do you mean that if you get electric cars running off coal power plants now, then that frees you up to replace the coal with e.g. solar power later on?

(From a programming perspective - since this is Hacker News, after all - we could view electric power as an "interface" which hides the implementation of how it's generated from the car, as opposed to petrol which is "tightly coupled" to the car)

WASM will probably start catching up with natively-compiled C++ eventually, but we're working on the hypothesis that even natively-compiled C++ can't quite get the best performance out of audio hardware, because running it on the CPU in a normal OS is the wrong place for a realtime task like that.

Something we do want to create will be network-attached SOUL audio i/o devices which can run the code using native JIT engines. Then, Javascript in a browser can send its SOUL code to be compiled + executed directly on these bare-metal devices and get super-low latency.
Citrix has had 2FA for logins outside the corporate network for years. They also lock your account after 3 consecutive failed login attempts (even internally).

Not saying Citrix security is perfect, but protecting yourself from this kind of attack is certainly not as simple as "Add 2FA and limit login attempts".
Same goes for diesel. You can run cars exclusively on bio-fuel, the cars won't care. Only when you scale it up to current worldwide fuel consumption levels you might even make a worse impact on climate than fossil fuels would right now.
The Alfie Evans case could well have had the same outcome with fully private care, since it was a case about the rights of the child rather than about funding for treatment.

(Besides, we can probably find a lot more cases of dead children in the US where they were simply denied or unable to afford coverage ...)
We could also have had diesel cars with about 20-40% of emissions of the the current "fleet" for about two decades. But apparently nobody cares and now, instead of thinking about all the other stuff we need to replace fossils (heating, steel and concrete, chemical industry) and slowly phasing out those low-emissions cars, people debate about electric cars, which as of today are mainly used to greenwash the sale of inefficient SUVs and themselves are abominations of the green growth idea (name one advantage of the model x over a station wagon design)...

As it stands now we are experiencing an all out bankruptcy declaration of the idea that free, unregulated markets (which allow monopolies and cartels to thrive) are gonna be beneficial for humankind in the long term.
This is what interests me a lot.

I have found that there are moments that start to give chaotic behavior in CI that are influenced by the number of people working on mono repository and some other stuff like code maturity: 1 dev, 2-5 devs, 5-10 devs and 10+ devs .....

Something that works great for any number might start to break for other number. Something effective for huge team may be very bad for smaller team. Something that works great in one moment (first several months of the project when thing still get shape 0.X.Y versions) sux when we move to 1.x version and vice versa.

I am not aware of anybody giving more detailed thought about this nor examine what could be most optimal solution for any type of team (if such thing exist) or on what precise moment you start doing certain practices (for example protecting master branch).

Exactly. Having electric cars means that you can generate your power however you want. Nuclear (fission or fusion), solar, fossil, biomass - it doesn't matter.
Is there a specific reason they have given for not supporting it? I’m a PGP fan myself but S/MIME is still useful.

I’ve found https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/s-mime-certificates/153 which seems to imply that it’s because they can’t validate emails securely enough in— although the comment wasn’t from LE staff. Maybe because email certs should last longer than a few months so it wouldn’t be as useful? I’m curious now!
How about when you’re hospitalized? I don’t think had that choice when I was visiting Mayo as an outpatient, either. Perhaps theoretically. I have seen this option with my local physician, but it’s not as if there’s more than one lab in town that I can choose, especially with the restriction of insurance.

Paul Graham comments on Tesla's “fleet of haters”
My memory is blurry as this I read that almost 10 years ago now, and it probably changed since then, but one vision was, assuming you have an electric car that has a capacity of 200 miles. You drive on average 20 miles to get to work, get into the parking lot, plug in your car. It doesn't need to be charged, because you'll be doing the same 20 miles at night.

So instead of charging, the grid is able to "buy" electricity from your battery during stress times (say maybe during lunch hour or something).

You end up having the grid having access to all electric car's battery when not needed.
Anyone explain how this works in regards to the laws of thermodynamics?
Health insurance companies are not allowed to deny coverage based on pre existing conditions, and they all have out of pocket maximums (for in network providers - doctors/hospitals that they have deals with), and you can purchase health insurance at healthcare.gov if you don’t have a job.

Unless your employer pays a portion for you, expect to spend $4,000 to $8,000 per year per person on health insurance premiums, depending on your age, plus up to $3,000 or so on out of pocket costs assuming you need medical care.

It’s just your lifetime’s, up to 65 or whenever Medicare (taxpayer funded care) kicks in, health costs amortized over your whole life and then discounted for age since younger people don’t need as much healthcare.

In America, the voters want doctors and hospitals and drug makers to provide everyone, no matter how destitute, with services and medicine. But the voters also don’t want any to pay any additional taxes, so this is all a work around to that.

Poor people and old people get subsidized by Medicaid and Medicare (taxpayers) and they pay less or nothing at all, so the providers go after everyone else (middle class) for as much as they can. The bigger employers who have negotiating power can do well for themselves, but the smaller employers/individuals on healthcare.gov get screwed because they don’t have enough negotiating power to prevent getting taken for all they have.
