This is true, but the function of the compliance department is to ensure that the company operates within the boundaries set by law and regulation. They typically operate with the authority and access to top management. They would report incidents of non-compliance to management and much more rarely to a regulator, very rarely to the media. If members of the compliance department report to the regulators or public they are covered by the relevant whistleblower statutes. I can't recall members of the compliance department organizing other employees to demonstrate.

Another organization is the quality control department of a manufacturer. They also tend to report independently to top management, and they function similarly.
I was meaning something more along the lines of 0x (https://0x.org/) where the token powers a decentralized exchange protocol, and the more the protocol is used the more the protocol token is worth. It's more akin to the creator of SMTP making money for every email ever sent. Instead of selling data or being advertising powered, you charge access inherently every time the protocol is used. It is simply a different business model and time will tell if it pays off.
It REALLY depends on your government.

In Michigan doesn't allow automatic speeding camera things that automatically issue tickets, while New York does.

Going off how Michigan operates then no, the GPS info wouldn't be enough.

In another government such as China the answer is very likely "Yes".

They could indeed use their other businesses to fund running their retail/fulfillment business at a loss. But at that point it would be just as rational to jettison those businesses (by spinning them off into another company), and now we're a step behind square one: they lose whatever economies they get from being a single company, their cost basis gets worse, and they're in an even poorer position to pay more.

These are descriptive, not normative, observations.
I edited my previous comment to include the word "physically" in "physically affected". I think we're going in circles now -- how would you describe the fact that really some less light falls on the moon (so an observer on the moon can tell when a lunar eclipse is going on), while nothing changes on the sun (an observer on the sun cannot tell, at least not easily / in any significant way, when a solar eclipse going on in Europe?). If you will not grant that in one case there's a physical ("real") change happening on the moon/sun and in the other not, what words or phrases would you use to describe it? And is it inconceivable that someone's conception of an eclipse may care about whatever that difference is?

At this point we're just debating the meanings of words and phrases like "something is happening to the sun" and whether being blocked from the view of someone on earth counts as something happening to the sun; one can very well argue whether shadows are real ("of course it's real, you see it right there" versus "no a shadow has no physical existence, it just looks like there's a dark object on the ground") and so on. At some point one ought to grant that others attach subtly different connotations to words.

I went to two meditation retreats with the Art of Living Foundation.

The 101 retreat was held on campus at Google, and I had a blast.

The 201 retreat was held at a retreat center north of SF. Not as fun, super challenging, but still a rewarding experience.

Net-net: while I'm glad I did it, I don't need to signup for more meditation retreats. One reason is because I got what I needed out of it (i.e. I know how to meditate on my own). The other reason is I discovered that meditation is effective in soothing anxiety about the future. It's more important, in my case, to make sense of the past (aka stop ruminations). Therapy and journaling have been significantly more effective, than meditation, in addressing those needs.

MySQL's InnoDB is MVCC as well, at least when used with transaction isolation.

That said, MySQL does have more mature replication options built-in.
The privacy issue is that an agent of the public is intruding into private spaces. The body cam footage is just revealing in a more obvious and exploitable way that the problem already existed. Whatever the body cam sees is already being recorded by the mark I cop eye.

I imagine that the privacy issues would be less severe for the recordings where cops knock, present a warrant, and then enter to execute it, because that is the due process instituted for the public interest breaching into private spaces.

Agents of the public should be doing their duties in public.

As for the automating, I'd use glyphs easily recognized by machine vision to mark different areas in the cop shop. Stencil-paint a glyph on the walls of the bathrooms and locker rooms, and the camera can automatically tag that video as not immediately available for public release, and blur an area surrounding the glyph for automated redaction.

If people are concerned about body cam video of themselves being released automatically without redactions, they can put up glyph stickers in their homes, or wear glyphs on their clothing. A public-private toggle switch on the cam might help, but is susceptible to bad user input or insufficient usage training.

Without some kind of explicit marker, AI may never be able to determine the transition points between public and private spaces, and certainly could not deal with adversarial attacks against that classifier. At worst, over-glyphing or inappropriate wearer inputs could exhaust the video-review resources.

But I think that it is in the public's interest for all calls to the emergency lines to be public, regardless of the potential privacy issues. Instead of having the 911 call center employees worried about covering their asses in case they make a mistake, support them with good training, checklists for the most common issues, a second tier of higher-trained crisis managers to join in for non-routine calls, and maybe an on-demand pool of expert support, such as the psychiatrists, lawyers, or explosives disposal technicians.

Leaving the postmortem analysis of an emergency only to officially authorized people allows cover-ups or deceptive re-framing to happen.

For starters the States never really had separate national identities among the original 13 so uniting is much simpler compared to the European nations who have a long history of different cultures and international competition. Then the rest of the States were people moving from the original 13 to new territories and creating states there (after massacring the native inhabitants of course) or the existing United States buying/conquering land.

I said simply that if someone signs a legal contract and one side breaks it, the other party is well within their bounds to investigate it and potentially to litigate it as well. This is how contracts work unless they're deemed to break a law. Then a judge will invalidate it.

Ask HN: What TCP tuning needs to be done to avoid hug of death?
I may be wrong, but I seem to remember a post or comments here about this topic. It was some simple sysctl or /proc settings that tuned the TCP stack to avoid the hug of death.

If you didn't apply it, the TCP stack would be the bottleneck and/or drop connections on you. I remember it being more than the just the 'listen' backlog parameter.

I have gone on Catholic retreats, which are similar to what I think you're talking about, but not identical. The point of a retreat is to spend time with the person you should love most of all, getting to know them better.

Well put. The pet is going to be a source of companionship and happiness even if you're too tired to go volunteer or hit the gym. It's also more than just an endorphin hit or not being alone; it's a complex and rewarding relationship.

To the original poster - humans have been keeping pets since prehistoric times [0]. Behavioral patterns which have been ingrained into our genetic makeup & the collective subconscious for 10,000-40,000 years probably aren't going to change much in the next 100 or even 1000 years.

I fundamentally agree that we need to reduce our carbon footprint as a species, but feel we fundamentally disagree on the emotional and spiritual benefits of owning a pet. Regardless, I hope we can at least agree that it may be easier and more effective to start by looking at more modern, less ingrained, and higher-output sources of carbon.

Lead and core contributor to Argoproj here.

I agree that Tekton and Argo Workflows share a closer comparison than with Argo CD (despite the "CD" acronym appearing in the name Tekton CD). Workflows is aimed to be a more general purpose workflow engine. I like to explain workflows as a fancy Kubernetes Job object, which can be used as a building block to higher level applications.

I believe the majority of workflow users are using workflows for ML, ETL, data processing pipelines. Its strength is being able to leverage your kubernetes cluster as an auto-scaling compute grid, with highly advanced scheduling capabilities (i.e. scheduling based on node attributes, pod priorities, resource requirements, etc...). That said, a fair share of users are using workflows as a lightweight CI solution, though it requires work to glue in other components to provide the complete solution (e.g. Argo Events to handle git webhooks)
Scary stuff! "Open-air tests" is a nice way of putting it..

> Operation Sea-Spray was a 1950 U.S. Navy secret experiment in which Serratia marcescens and Bacillus globigii bacteria were sprayed over the San Francisco Bay Area in California.

> From September 20 to 27, 1950, the U.S. Navy released the pathogens off the shore of San Francisco. Based on results from monitoring equipment at 43 locations around the city, the Army determined that San Francisco had received enough of a dose for nearly all of the city's 800,000 residents to inhale millions of particles each day during the week of spraying.

> Between 1949 and 1969 open-air tests of biological agents were conducted 239 times.

Yes and no. The point of an actual ORM (object relational mapper) is to be able to the equivalent of lisp/smalltalk (runtime) image level perstiance: make objects permanent between restarts and changes transactional.

To really get there, you actually need a object db, like zoodb[z] for python (which incidentally can use pg as a storage back-end).

If you're using a db abstraction layer, and a typical active record like surrogate keys - then for simple use cases you can indeed switch back-ends; many rails projects run tests on sqlite and production on postgresql.

That's not a great idea, but it works for simple projects (first gotcha; most rdbms don't have a global namspace for indexes; sqlite does).

But there's no standard AFAIK for full text indexes, geodata, json/bson, materialized views... So it depends a lot on how much of the db you're actually using.

Note that an object db does not free you from thinking about data structure migrations:

>You claim it isn't insane

Whether or not it's "insane" is semantics.

The point is that once you get up into this echelon of cars, 10.5 isn't game-changing. Chrysler built a car that will stomp the Model S, and it costs 20% less. For $100k you can build many cars that will outperform a Model S; 10.5 quarter mile isn't "insane" at that price if that's what you're optimizing for.

I suppose it's exhausting seeing Tesla marketing claim "fastest car ever!" because 0-60s are fast (which, as you said is mostly due to traction and the electric drivetrain). It's embarrassing when people start comparing the Model S performance to Ferraris and Lamborghinis. They aren't even in the same league when it comes to being race ready.
> Except that the planet has been warming and cooling for millions of years.

This does not invalidate calling it "global warming". Just because it's happened before doesn't mean it's not happening now. When you hit the gas, do you restrict yourself from saying that the car's speed is increasing just because it's increased before?
I probably wouldn't migrate a project, but I switched my default db to PostgreSQL after seeing the many ways MySQL can silently screw up data. Truncating strings, truncating numbers, allowing NULLs in a NOT NULL, etc. Much (all?) of this can be fixed with settings these days: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/constraint-invalid-d...

PostgreSQL has a hard bias toward correctness. If you give it invalid data, it will blow up loudly every time.

PostgreSQL also has a boatload of useful features. Need full-text search? It has it, and it's good enough for lots of stuff: http://rachbelaid.com/postgres-full-text-search-is-good-enou...

Need to search for locations with coordinates < N kilometers from a coastline? PostGIS does it.

Need to store and query JSON? Partition tables by a date range? Index only the rows matching a WHERE condition? Use a CHECK constraint? Prevent race conditions from creating reservation rows with overlapping datetime ranges (exclusion constraints)? Run a query periodically and cache the results as a queryable table (materialized views)? The list goes on and on.

More correct data + fewer reasons to add another tool to the stack - especially when that would mean having to keep data in sync - is pretty compelling to me.

Speaking on Fox Business Network on Monday, Larry Kudlow,
director of the National Economic Council, said he doesn’t
believe Google is treasonous. “I meet with Google’s CEO on
a regular basis. I think they’re working for America, for
our military, not for China,” he said.

“Peter Thiel’s a good man. He’s been a great supporter of
the Trump administration. He’s a very smart guy,” Mr.
Kudlow said. “I’m just not sure where he’s going on this,
so I have my doubts, but one never knows.”

I spend a little more time than is probably healthy trying to mentally "stack rank" the crazies these days, having Larry Kudlow politely call this out makes Thiel one of the high-velocity candidates of the week on the crazy movers & shakers scale.

Well, accessibility is deeply about how it works, not so much something that can be tacked on afterwards.

Thank you, I know now why Django inflicts that .objects method to everybody :-)

I'd rather design a less verbose API for the default manager

Model.get()
Model.filter()
...

and Model.manager.get() if one really needs custom managers.

The fact that I didn't know about managers after years of Django (and nobody told me) should be telling of me and my team, of course, but also how needed managers are. Having to go through that API without shortcuts is not nice to developers.

No, it doesn't. You can just write it.

Anyway, the question here is not why they're using React to generate a site, but rather why they're using it to display the site.

As others have mentioned, there are lots of tools to write DRY HTML/CSS, then compile, then deploy as a static site. No one would ever know which tool you used.

The weird thing here is that they're using React in the browser (not as a one-time step) for a completely static site.

Businessmen enslave because it makes great wealth, and the specific racisms emerge in parallel to justify and perpetuate the profit. Where do we draw the line for which conflicts we can say definitely starts with the moral flaw of a person/group, and which starts with the forces of economic incentive?
