No. One's personal liberty should extend so far as to where it doesn't impose on someone else's rights. People are and should be allowed to be offensive, annoying our outright distasteful. YOU can go elsewhere. If the owner of a business wants to allow smokers/vapers, that should be their decision.

I'm not blind to the pragmatism of public spaces and near outside entrances, etc. That said, your premise is wrong and too narrow. Which is probably a reflection on the greater issues becoming ever more relevant to shutting down conversations, ideas and election meddling that is coming to light. It's probably time for people to start actually listening to ideas they don't agree with, empathize with those positions and rationally come to reasonable compromise. Right now there's only escalation and it will likely lead to a very real, very violent and very different civil war.

I'm using a raspberry pi as a low latency server to organize and provide a bridge between esp8266's that are running LP flame effects for Capn Nemos Flaming Carnival. You know, for the kids! I've open sourced various aspects, and though it's all a bit disorganized as it is primarily me that uses it, you can find codey bits at https://github.com/burntech, and cool pictures and links at http://capnnemosflamingcarnival.org. Yeah, it's kind of a Burning Man thing. But long term, I hope the tech can serve as a small fast network that controls potentially timing critical things (eg shutting off fire reliably, music-controlled effects, and etc.).

Well I suppose Google has some way of customizing search for different people. The big issue for me is that google tracks me to do this. Maybe there could be a way to deliver customized search where we securely held the details of our customization. Or we were pooled with similar users. I suppose if a ranking algorithm had all the possible parameters as variables, we could deliver our profile request on demand at the time of search. That would be nice. You could search as a Linux geek or as a music nut or see the results different political groups get.
Google US I think it’s obvious would have little reason to promote Granma or RT. But they should have a pan-US org like USA Today and WSJ more evenly distributed. Also The Miami Herald is a pretty good paper, better than some on that list. It should also be higher ranked.

That doesn't square with my understanding but my knowledge is totally limited to New England and some of New York. Here the rich suburbs are where you go when you just want to teach the subject and only the subject in exchange for your check (which can get quite big if you put in many years).

Anecdotal data point: The "upscale but not quite Belmont/Lexington/etc" town in MA in which my parents live had a little bit of drama over the number of teachers (some of whom had been teaching there 30+yr) who were drawing salaries on par with software developers in the Boston area. Having been educated in that town years earlier that squares with my expectations. Sure the teachers taught but the overwhelming majority were older and just looking to teach what they needed to to cash checks until retirement.
Ask HN: How do you find AWS management tools?
I have been working on a project and wanted to get some feedback from the community to make sure, I am headed in the right direction.

CloudEgg.net

The whole idea is to have a repository of vendors, open-source solutions that are available for their use cases. If we have to trivialize it, it's a review website for only AWS Cloud Management tools.

What's the process you follow to find a tool today?
According to the Vera Institute of Justice, incarceration costs an average of more than $31,000 per inmate, per year, nationwide.

I'd call the amounts they get paid to work are more than generous since they do not have to repay the cost of their incarceration.

---

And not directed specifically at you, but those in general in this thread griping about how little they get paid and how expensive stuff is in prison commissaries... commissaries aren't there to provide basic needs in most cases, they are there to provide rewards/amenities like canned foods and vending machine type foods, radios, televisions, mp3 players, soda, ice cream etc depending on the facility. There are numerous prisons in the united states that have cable/satellite tv in-cell or in common areas (the company Correctional Cable TV alone serves more than 140 facilities across 21 states).

Getting paid ANYTHING for the labor is a reward. Never mind that in many prisons being allowed to get a job is again, a reward, that you can get for following the rules and not causing problems.
That's an interesting perspective. It brings to light some personal responsibility we might be glossing over. Is it the responsibility of the bottled water seller to not sell plastic bottles because they fill landfills, or the consumer to make sure to dispose of the plastic bottle responsibly?

That doesn't entirely match the current situation, but there probably is a some responsibility that lays with consumers for buying crappy devices from companies with no track record for keeping them updated. It's not always simple to reason about, but it is something to consider next time there's a decision to buy some cheaper device from some no name company or from some well known company (that hopefully has some sort of support lifetime at least).
Rather than being an honest game to reduce "disinformation", this game is simply defending mainstream media. It's message is essentially "trust mainstream media". Not that shocking coming from cambridge considering they are at the forefront of cultural war being waged in the west today.

How about get opinion/news from a wide variety of sources ( mainstream and fringe, big and small, national and international, right and left, globalist and nationalist, etc )? That's the only reliable way to wade through all the disinformation.

Especially regarding controversial, cultural, military, trade and geopolitical issues.

If you are getting your "news" from one source then you are getting propaganda and lies. How many wars have we been sold on lies by the media? And yet, we are expected to trust them regardless of their lies. And that's just the most glaring and obvious example.

For example, with the recent hong kong protests. It would have been nice to see what the chinese media or asian media were also saying about the issue. I suspect it's a lot different than the "news" we've been seeing about it in the US. If we are interested in the "truth", then it would be nice to see what iranians/iranian media and the media of nearby countries are saying. Rather than just a one sided pro-war "news".

But I suspect that neither cambridge nor the media they are protecting truly care about "news, disinformation, fake news, etc".
And if those values allow a child, they could also allow living in a huge house, flying in airplanes, generally being wasteful, and well, look where that's got us.

If the 0-day can be sold, then what do the purchasers do to recoup their investment? Aren't attacks like this one of the main reasons that a 0-day will have value? Even malicious state-level actors will likely use the purchased vuln in an attempt to gain access to a target system (potentially via similar spear-phishing methods); although in that case their motivation will be access to information rather than financial gain.

Designing a good vector ISA is really hard.

The problem is "vector" is an entire category of architecture-style and machine designs; it's not a problem domain. So some people want vector for their very narrow domain (ML? IOT?), and other people want vector for some other narrow domain (HPC? media?), and other people want it for "general-purpose" compute (whatever that means).

Hard questions: what data types do you support? Do you support mixed-types? Do you support expanding operations (64x64=128?)? Do you support reductions? How do you support conditional/branching execution? How do you support interrupts/exceptions? Do you support register file reconfigurations? How do you do function calls? Context switches?

Looking at the evolution of Intel's SIMD ISAs, they started from small 64-bit integer-only multimedia stuff (MMX), and are now at AVX's 512b masked execution with scatter/gatters and exponentials and reciprocals... there's a lot of complexity you can add to a vector ISA. :0

In fairness to Go, there is a precedent for built-ins to be "special" in ways like this. So e.g. while there are no user-defined generic data types, the built-in collection types like array are generic.

The Zen of Rust is very much in the direction that standard operators shouldn't be more "special" than necessary, and a lot of fundamentals become "library-able" or at least library-extensible. Go simply doesn't take this approach. It's a more opinionated language, and it some cases that means you get the tool it makes for you, rather than getting to craft your own tool for yourself.
:))) That's what my mom tells me.
"Then there's all that handler stuff that looks very much like Java's `try ... catch` in reverse order."

The key characteristic of Go's error handling is that you have to handle errors in the scope in which they occur, vs. exception handing which is designed around throwing errors up the stack until something finally handles it, often quite distant from the point of the error and lacking context.

"try" just re-spells that. It isn't a step towards exception handling; it's exactly as "exception-handle-y" as if err != nil { return err } already is, whatever value you may consider that to be. Part of the goal is to make correct handling where you actually do something with the error that much easier, instead of having to do something essentially unrefactorable for every error, through a combination of allowing error handling to be factorable in this new scheme, and some other changes to errors to add more structure by convention to create official ways of composing them together and examining these composed errors in sensible ways.

No. Those 3 points are not that important. West Europe works using ISO-Latin-1. Many European countries even had a national 7-bit version. We also had our own computer companies, but they died out because they couldn't grow.

The 2 main reason are:

1) you have one Sillicon Valley in USA, so all competent people were in one location. If you wanted to start Intel/Apple/Google in Denmark you'll run out of Wozniaks even before you got going because they are spread out all over the map.

2) All of USA speaks the same language, so you can easily do complex communication with companies in other states (e.g. Intel/Gateway in Texas). Getting a French person to speak good English in the 60-70'ies was a, ahem, challenge.

There is no Sillicon Valley in Europe precisly because there is no single place, and therefore Europe miss out on the "everybody important in same place" effects.

China's government pointed to one place at the map when they wanted a SV. That's why China got Shenzhen. Europe/EU still can't do that politically.

What a strange comparison. Would you consider it equally unjustified to hold construction engineers and architects responsible for constructing a death trap? Even if that is what the customer ordered?

It's probably not a coincidence that engineers and doctors are professionals well known to place their own ethical standards above their customers. It is expected that a doctor refuse to carry out a procedure that puts innocent people at harm.

Sure, if you axiomatically accept the Efficient Market Hypothesis as a feature of modern markets that isn't going to blow up the global economy, which I would if it hadn't already come close to doing that already. Facilitating price discovery on the assumption of no arbitrage is great until everyone buys the same secretly-dog-shit security and the resulting market correction martingales the whole thing.

I think at the very least we can say that there is a limit to the fairness of an exchange between willing counterparties when one party is exploiting an asymmetry in information to profit off the other party. $99 versus $100 is one thing, $100 versus $0 is another.
Go so far has always prioritized the things I care most about:

- performance & high concurrency
- a small language feature set so I can hire & train awesome programmers with a different background
- practical solutions, with a focus on getting things
done

I feel confident that with Go 2 they will continue to go down this road. The `try` syntax looks kinda confusing with the implicit return. On the other hand, nothing too crazy.
> ( That is assuming Apple will gives us Pro Motion on Mac, why they haven't done so is beyond me. And Why Windows haven't done something similar? )

What do you mean why Windows hasn't done something similar? It's existed on Windows for longer than Apple had it in the iPad - it's called gsync or freesync, the later now being a VESA specification called "adaptive vsync." You can go have the ProMotion experience on Windows right now, and have been able to for years. There's a ton of 120hz, 144hz, and even 240hz gsync & freesync monitors on the market at a variety of sizes, resolutions, and even panel types. You can find 120hz+ monitors in IPS, VA, and TN panels, at a variety of price points.
> How would you know to ask the doctor about it during your annual check-up, if you aren't aware of the existence of the drug?

I don't rely on business users asking me about technical solutions to their problems based on advertisements they've seen, and I'm not in a field with as much required specialized prerequisite and continuing education and mandated licensing as medicine.

Now, certainly there are patients that meaningfully contribute by, e.g., actually doing deep dives in the scientific literature related to their diagnosis and related treatments, and bringing questions and references derived from that research to their doctor, which really does cover things at a level that the average practitioner might not be aware of for a particular conditjo . But the kind of ads in popular media are of marginal if any value to them.

> As others have mentioned already, doctors do not tend to track every single new medication for every possible little condition that their patients could have.

They are bombarded with even more aggressive marketing than the public is for any of the ones that are spending money on public ads, so even if there is a real issue here, public-facing drug ads are not directed at solving it.

IMO, nothing wrong as long as they're paid competitive market wages for their work and none of it is taken by the prison system for things like visitation or necessities (or anything else really, just let them have the money when they get out).

At the end of the day, work is work and should be rewarded fairly regardless of the context. Otherwise, yea, it's slave labor.

"Are there any reasons against using prison labor? It gives inmates something to do and the ability to learn a new skill. "

There are lots of reasons that I find compelling-- I'm generally in favor of the abolition of prisons. I'm also aware that there are plenty of people who think I am a wingnut because I think that.

But even if you think prisons are a "good" thing, here is a reason that you could find compelling for preventing prison labor from interacting with the larger market:

it lowers the pay for other non-prison workers by throwing unpaid labor into the labor pool.

Prison labor has a long tradition as been seen as a source of income in form of a cheap involuntary labor. To the point that you got people imprisoned on arbitrary laws to keep that workforce large enough. Many states exploited this hard after the ban of slavery, to the degree that offenses where made up, like not being allowed to change your employer as a freemen in order to keep the slave like workforce large enough. If you look at the history its hard to pin the moment where this ought to have ended. After the worst offenders of openly racist laws aimed at forcing people into slave like conditions got revoked and three wars relying on the draft happened, the war on drugs had started with another set of arbitrary prosecutions. The history of incentives to acquire more prisoners is quite a bit older then the private prison complex.

edit: About the history of prison labor as a replacement for slavery, "Slavery by another Name" by Douglas A. Blackmon is a great book on the topic.
Yup, thanks for linking this. These allegations seem quite serious, and contra claims by TD users on that subreddit, they actually go far beyond what we've seen on leftist, socialist etc. subs wrt. hostility towards police. (I've also seen some allegations that The_Donald's custom CSS was being used to hide/disguise the "report" links that are normally used to flag rules-violating comments - if so, this is clearly backfiring for them right now!) It's easy to say "T_D is toxic, blah blah" but this sort of extreme rhetoric is on a wholly different level that really wasn't there before.
