This is frequently an oxymoron in practice…
Cheap green 523nm lasers are especially dangerous. They are marketed as Class III <5mW, but with a laser power meter they are frequently 30mW-80mW or higher.

It's not that 5mW lasers can't cause permanent damage to the retina, but rather that within 200ms the blink reflex will typically kick in and stop continued exposure.

Green lasers are typically DPSS diode lasers— which means they have a high power infrared laser diode that passes through a frequency doubling crystal to achieve green. Cheap laser pointers often skip the IR filter and will pass through a lot of IR light— which is especially dangerous because it doesn't trigger the blink reflex.

The NOHD (nominal ocular hazard distance— the distance at which there's a 50% chance of some minimally detectable permanent lesion on the retina) for a green laser pointer can be hundreds-to-thousands of feet.

The (temporary) flashblindness threshold is some multiple of that. Given the distances involved, I'm guessing it's temporary, unless someone was using some obscenely powerful (e.g. 1W) laser.
As others have said, no exporting is involved. You write roughly-json-esque code which you then apply to a cloud provider.

The state of the infrastructure is stored, ideally, in the cloud. You apply your code during which terraform identifies which changes need to be made by comparing the current state with your local changes and executes those changes as you watch.

The end result is well-defined, testable, repeatable cloud infrastructure provisioning.

Infrastructure as code. Store it in git. Profit.

You are describing CQS (Command Query Separation), a la Bertrand Meyer, rather than CQRS. The only thing that CQRS says is that the read and write paths are different. It does not preclude a command from returning a response - or for that matter being handled synchronously.
All positive. Any negative experiences were in court, not the frontline police patrols. There are many layers to enforcement and it might be surprising where exactly the biggest problems are.

Adding increasing automation when the foundations aren't great is a bad idea though. There are more stories everyday about people finding trouble with the law because of some software system with no human oversight.

I love single purpose hardware on an ideological level.

On a more pragmatic level, it feels more and more like companies creating semi-disposable toy electronics should be held to extremely high standards when it comes to how they source their components and the environmental impact of the lifecycle of their device, because this is ultimately cheap junk that’s hurting the environment.
I think the one case where it would be good, is if there is somebody stuck in the door and the train starts to move.

Or if the doors won’t close and the train starts to move.

Or the classic: there is a fire in the train and waiting for the next station is not an option.
Very true. And ethics change over time. Laws change over time. But people want immediate reconciliation with their beliefs —which can be at odds with that of others. So we have to rely on the law.

Prohibition is a great example of what laws can do, good and bad. After lots of bloodletting we realized it wasn’t good and we were not benefitting from it so it was reversed.
Somebody or something outside getting caught in the doors after they close is probably the most common one.

I asked this also on Reddit, and got this really nice answer:

Pasting it here hoping it will help others too

https://www.reddit.com/r/SaaS/comments/brvxgc/how_to_handle_...

I ran into the same issue with my startup.

There are two options:

Use a service like TaxJar / Avalara / Quaderno to automatically calculate taxes.
Keep in mind that there are costs to getting a sales tax ID in certain countries / states and that you'll be losing valuable time by having to file returns (autofile isn't supported everywhere).

Also, you'll need to consider that they may not support every country that has a sales tax implication either.

Use a payment processor that acts as a reseller of your digital products (Paddle, 2Checkout, FastSpring)

Because they will act as the merchant of record for a transaction, they will be responsible for calculating and remitting sales taxes.

The disadvantage of this method is that there's much higher fees. For instance, Stripe charges 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction, while Paddle charges 5% + $0.50.

Not having to worry about sales tax is well worth the added cost in my opinion.
I wish them luck. The Eiffel Tower is quite a place to visit, and it's true that the road traffic in the area diminishes it. Paris has some very nice gardens already, but in such a built-up city it's surely a benefit if they can create one more. And while there always seems to be a great party atmosphere in the good viewing spots for the light show, making them less concrete and more park seems likely to improve that too.

Sadly, the area has also been diminished in recent years by all the security around the tower itself. While understandable given actual violence that has occurred there in the past, and even with efficient and professional security staff doing the checks, it can still feel like going into some sort of secure facility more than enjoying a world-famous landmark these days. If the redesign could also reduce the visual impact of the security measures, that would be a bonus.

Ask HN: How do you bootstrap yourself into an interesting job?
I'm a generalist software developer a few years into my career. I've done well at everything I've attempted and have been recognized accordingly by my employers, but I'm bored and unenthusiastic about my current work, and looking at job ads, I feel like there's an unbridgeable gulf between my current skills and what's required for interesting positions. I'd love to master all of the latest cutting-edge technologies during my nights and weekends, but I haven't been able to muster the energy and focus required. Worse yet, thinking about the grueling interview process tends to instantly sap my motiviation; I'm a shy person and not quick on my feet, and job interviews are my absolute worst nightmare.

The result of all this is that I feel stuck in a rut, and I sometimes wonder how other folks like me -- not a top-of-my-class computer science wiz, but a reasonably intelligent and hard-working person with a decent resume -- have managed to move from a mediocre job to a more interesting and rewarding position. I've thought about quitting my job to embark on a journey of self-improvement, working on personal projects and so forth, but the truth is that I have no ideas for personal projects, and I'm afraid I'll just leave myself worse off and with a gap in my resume. If there were a program I could sign up for that would allow me to work hard and devote myself and would guarantee an opportunity at an interesting job at the end, I'd gladly sign up and give it all my effort. But in the absence of that sort of structured path, I don't know how to improve my situation.

Any wisdom from someone who's been in this position and found a way to improve things would be greatly appreciated.

> Legacy code isn’t tech debt either: it was right for the time.

The time it was written often isn't when the technical debt was incurred, when maintenance to keep it right, technologically, for the changing time was deferred, that's when a decision was made to incur a higher price later to save now: that's when the (technical) debt was incurred.

> as an example that comes to mind, a bank running on COBOL doesn’t have tech debt unless their COBOL engineers are aware of their missed opportunities

The existence of technical debt is unrelated to awareness of the deferred costs. “technical debt” isn't a statement about the existing technical staff’s perception of the system.

Not an electronics expert at all, but what are the chances of doing routine patrols or setting up checkpoints around airports to 'sniff' for the electromagnetic field emissions that these sorts of devices emit when used? I am presuming that they would have a fairly unique fingerprint that would make them stand out from the usual microwave or infrared noise that most household electronic devices use?

>> "Amazon is [...] ruthlessly efficient..."

>this part is capitalism working as intended and (mostly) as desired.

I think we need to be careful to define what we mean by "efficient". Do we frame efficient as "churns out the highest revenue / spending ratio" (ironically evaluating capitalism by a metric created by capitalism)? Then yes, that may well be true. But what about the overworked and abused workers? What about the stifled competition? What about the 40% increase in fuel and emissions to reduce shipping from 3 to 2 days? Is it all worth it, to get your consumerist crap a few hours earlier in the post? This are not just rhetorical questions, these are actual questions we need to pose ourselves (e.g. is it worth an excess X million tons of CO2 per year to get prime deliveries Y hours faster).

Would that fit into a definition like "increases overall quality of life the most"? Food for thought, in my opinion.

>for instance, contracts (like EULA's) shouldn't be one-sided ultimatums inflicted on the indivudual, but the beginning of a negotiation between two equal parties.

Isn't this one of the classical critiques of capitalist (e.g. Marx), that it is impossible to have a negotiation between two equal parties when the two parties are so... well, unequal.
A couple?
Agreed on this. It's the FAA that's taking the fall and the US with it.
Huh? If the government wanted to ban facial recognition, they could do it. Our democratic system absolutely has the power to ban it. It hasn't been done, presumably because there isn't a public consensus that it should be banned.

If you're arguing for public ownership of companies, that's literally communism -- so not "democratic." But we don't need communism to regulate facial recognition.
It's a crappy old airframe because it's designed specifically to be low down to accommodate airstairs, meaning it won't fit modern large engines. It's anachronistic design and has to make tradeoffs in order to stay relevant (even before the MAX, the NG had those weird squished engine nacelles).
Arm's China joint venture ensures access to vital technology (2018)

Opinion but I'm getting that impression, I was visiting Britain earlier this year and to gain entry to a sit down restaurant (Denny's type place), I was required to produce my passport or ID so that a copy could be scanned and saved before being granted entry (this was the norm for locals as well).
But they have to get into the tunnel first, probably from the station. If anyone is able to enter the tunnel from outside, then it is dangerous, because they can put a bomb or a crowbar on the rails.

When hardware is increasingly becoming just a way to interface with a larger platform (IoT, game console subscription services, etc.), I think there will be a certain nostalgia for more static, tactile and analog hardware. I collect records, own a couple pocket operators, and buy physical books for similar reasons.

Single-purpose hardware has identity. It has explicit purpose. If it is well-designed, it has an interface that is intuitive while encouraging a limited amount of experimentation. I think a lot of good software emulates these properties, but often with the tradeoff of being less extensible/integrable/power user friendly.
And of course you are the one who should decide how much every person is allowed to have?

Not sure about Shanghai, but in most countries there are (generous) time limits associated with fares, measured from first entry. Obviously this isn't enforced "in flight", but the gate will not let you out when you try to leave and you'll need to explain to staff why you've just spent 4 hours traveling one stop -- since odds are you actually went somewhere else and jumped the turnstile both ways.

Why Is Concurrent Programming Hard?
One of the things that blows my mind about the current tech landscape is that Microsoft now appears to occupy the moral high ground with its stance calling for regulation on facial recognition.

I grew up with a profound distaste for Microsoft's anti-competitive business culture under Gates. But now I have to give credit where it's due. Even Apple, which has come out with strong statements on privacy, is lagging behind MSFT in this area as far as I can tell.

You've been able to do Win32 stuff in an AppX since early in Windows 10 history, it's mostly "unsandboxed". MSIX, the "new" AppX, has Windows 7/8 support for Win32-focused installs in preview.

Semi-relatedly, Microsoft has already been exploring with the Python team MSIX deployments for the Python interpreter itself (you can even find it in the Microsoft Store now on Windows 10, and typing `python` on a command line in recent builds of Windows 10 will auto jump you to the Store if you don't have a python.exe in your PATH/installed).

I moved away from Terraform a long time ago. Ansible was way more powerful, handled errors and issues with state changes. Terraform was super picky about how you had to operate, slow and HCL was a terrible markup language. I wasn't really a huge fan of Ansible either though and more recently have been doing things in regular shell/Bash scripts. Now with Kubernetes and service brokers, there is no need for Terraform.
