I have a hard time getting too upset about this as described in the article. Sharing police fingerprints and mug shots doesn’t sound too bad.

There are of course “but”s:
- should mug shots be retained for people later freed/not convicted? Certainly. It he case today for photos, prints, and (in California) DNA.

- expanding into the DL database, as mentioned in the article seems like a dangerous scope creep — though what if they are investigating a driving offense like a hit and run?

Anyway, a useful article. But not necessarily a bad thing, for a change.

Very cool. I love the color-coding idea. Speaking of alternative materials, the article notes "traditionally made of waxed linen", so I wonder how dental floss would work for small home projects (like under my home-workstation desk).

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but most of those other countries have not nationalized their oil (or at least the profits) like Venezuela and Norway have.

No, "velcro" is genericized. The capitalized word "Velcro" is still a trademark.

As such, you can buy "Velcro [BVBA] velcro", or you can call 3M's hook-and-loop fasteners "3M velcro". 3M, naturally, avoids using the term "velcro" in its packaging and marketing, and would never use "Velcro", because even though they could, because the term is genericized, it would still be free advertising for a competitor.
That appears to be the current xkcd comic (published 2019-07-31), but the github for this application has commits going back a month, with the domain registered on 2019-07-06, so I think it is likely a coincidence or the inspiration goes the other way.

That's how every infringement of our civil liberties has come into existence: It has one or two very limited justifiable cases, and everyone goes 100% all in on that and focuses on that, but not what we will lose. Everyone always dismisses it as a slippery slope fallacy but here we are, with our rights against illegal search and seizures almost completely chipped away. Asking an officer for a search warrant is almost a formality at this point. Cops routinely exercise civil asset forfeiture and make it impossible to regain the goods lost, the 3 letter agencies are downloading and analyzing anything we type online and building comprehensive profiles and behavior models and running our actions online against said models, etc, etc.
First, a nitpick - your numbers should be per million people, not per person:

Second - the output itself depends on management, so I'm not sure it would be fair to compare current production numbers to show the potential help to the population. In fact - Venezuela has more proven reserves per-capita than Norway, by an incredible margin:

We could artificially capture arbitrary amounts of carbon using nuclear and renewable power, but I think it's important to consider how such activities would be paid for.

It seems more politically feasible to me, to incentivise ecologically healthy consumption through taxation (e.g. carbon tax; fuel duties; severance taxes), than to fund grand reparative projects.
I think you've got that backwards. If there were no Neanderthal genes on the x chromosome, then only men would have Neanderthal genes.

Ask HN: Should I quit and switch career?
I have been working in a call center for over 5 years in the same position. I am not at all interested in working in this field. But I am unable to quit due to my financial issues. I have seen many people being hired in my department, and then moving into other department on good pay, and some of my colleagues being promoted to good position.

I have never liked my current position, nor I am interested in this job.

I am learning coding. I can build basic sites.

I am 31 years old. Should I quit and learn coding?

> That’s an utterly irrelevant question unless you have evidence of the equifax data being abused.

No, because time spent putting safeguards in place to prevent its usage should it be abused is worth something.

You don't lock your doors after someone has broken into your house; you take measures to keep them out. In the same vein, you don't protect your credit after someone has abused it; you take measures to keep it from having serious consequences.

And taking measures costs time, and time is money.

Edplus | Software Engineer (React) | Onsite | Oxford, UK

I work for Edplus, a funded Oxford University spin-out in the EdTech space. We're currently looking for a react engineer to work on a mixture of native and web apps. Knowledge of backend development would be beneficial to the point that you can write SQL/API end points to take data back and forward through the stack, although the focus would be on frontend development. If you're interested send me an email [ed] [at] [edplus] [.] [io] and I can chat about it.
You're much more likely to be injured by an automobile than a weapon like a knife or gun.
Gee, you sound bitter.

There was a reason I mentioned Dijkstra, but it wasn't an argument, so "appeal to authority" doesn't apply. Common mistake, though.

Dijkstra is relevant specifically because he advocated a mathematical approach.

If you're actually curious, you can read up on the famous feud with Backus, where Backus was promoting functional programming, and Dijkstra wouldn't give him the time of day. It's pretty amusing, at this remove.

My guess is you're bitter because nobody controls important equipment with FP languages; or publicly regrets it when they did. I might be bitter too. But I'm not.
I now have monitoring from multiple source who have managed to leak my information. Redundant monitoring neither makes me feel more secure, nor reimburses me for inconvenience, stress, and extra activity required on my part due to their incompetence. I prefer a cash settlement on principles, and expenses and restitution should the compromised information be used to harm me financially.
I think the idea suggested is that the website could load quickly but doesn't, instead artificially loading very slowly regardless of connection speed.
Ask HN: Tips for getting remote work in the U.S. as a foreigner? (W8 or C2C)
I´m trying to switch work as a remote .NET / Azure developer - I already work remotely for the U.S. but I feel I´m underpaid and have already tried negotiating with my current employers (got a small bump).

I´ve been looking at LinkedIn, StackOverflow, and some job boards, but remote jobs seem to be for U.S. citizens only, and there are lots of semi-remote jobs but they seem to be tired of remote submissions (they say NO VISA, NO C2C, etc..)

I know there are a few job boards for remote-first jobs but they all seem to be frontend-focused (I guess that´s the easiest to outsource?). I´d also like longer-term engagements.

LinkedIn in particular always asks "Are you legally allowed to work in the U.S." and I truthfully answer "NO" as I don´t have a working visa.

Are there any remote-friendly boards I should be looking for? Twitter or some other social media? Make myself available to recruiters? There´s one ad of a company that says they can place me if I spend 40 hours on tests.

Should I lie and say I´m on the U.S.? Stress that I´m available for onsite interviews? How do I differentiate myself? I believe I have very good english and I´m good at what I do. I don´t want to go the H1B route for family reasons, I am willing to travel frequently and even on my dime.

I´m also willing to go personally to the U.S. to interview but I need to have a plan and goals :)

There is no dichotomy here- their market size increases magically with UBI. If the answer to that question was even remotely close to yes, the tech sector would be full of hungry workers.

Packaging data science Python modules as web services

- Open vacation policy and flexible holidays so you can take time off when you need to

- Fun. We’re a close-knit company that actually likes doing things together (like drinking beer, playing pool and dressing up like storm troopers . . . or Jedi, although not necessarily all at the same time)
He likely has people working full time to take care of his fortune, so it's not like he would have to micro-manage those solutions.
There is also the fact that, with the American playbook for regime change being what it is, there is quite a lot of skepticism about the sudden surge to prominence in the news cycle about the governance woes of a very oil-rich nation, irrespective of how legitimate reports of the mismanagement actually are.

If you have ~1 year experience, and are currently working, I would recommend staying there another year, or even two. Hiring someone with no degree but 3 years of experience is a much less scary proposition for a company than hiring someone with no degree and 1 year. (Or so I think, but I am not a hiring manager.)

Overall a good article, but please note that the 5 kWh/GB figure is plain wrong. The source attributes all power consumption of all connected devices to data transfer, and it simply makes up the base figures.

Actual marginal power cost of data transfer is probably around 1/1000 the cited figure. Still doesn't mean wasting data is a good idea.

SyntaxError: not a chance

Back to the topic, while I don't think its ranking doesn't generally reflect the actual popularity, the TIOBE index [1] is a good definition of "common enough" languages. So let's see... oh! There are 5--7 programming languages out of top 20 that do not generally use both braces and semicolons! (Python [not-so-strictly-necessary semicolon only], Visual Basic .NET, SQL [semicolon only], Assembly language, MATLAB, Visual Basic and Delphi/Object Pascal [semicolon only]). I also happen to know less popular but well-known programming languages that do not use both braces and semicolons at all (ML, FORTRAN, Lua, Forth and of course all lisps). So please allow me to reword your claim: why should braces and semicolons be normal?
