> “Our in-house news team monitors every alert that comes through our system and determines if they are relevant crime & safety incidents to send out to impacted neighborhoods,” Ring says in one a document provided exclusively to law enforcement officials.

Of all things, doesn't this sound like something that would be pretty easy to automate? The data points sound straightforward (crime type, time, location, investigation status, etc).
Don't they both press down though? One presses down on the loop ends (A), the other presses down on the strand between loops (B). The more I try to figure out why B would be better, the more it feels like pressing down on the loops would be better (ensuring more of the loop is in contact with the thing being wrapped).

e.g. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ghu5f8m1nsu7kve/wrapping.jpg

Exaggerated, sure, but still feels odd.
I was hoping for that as well ... however the thing that I found was much better than my expectations. So I think it's ultimately okay.

If you still feel that you didn't get what you were looking for ... here's an acceptable substitute perhaps?

I think there are two distinct questions that you are co-mingling. The first is, do police only arrest (and prosecutors charge) people when they have strong evidence that they committed the crime? I think the answer is, "Yes, most of the time, in many districts" - but not all of the time, and not in all districts.

The second question is, "Should the court system act like the police only arrest guilty people"? And the answer is, absolutely not.

From your answer, I guess that you only cared about the second question. But the first question is the one raised by ProCicero, and is also an important question.
HK was just an example. it's true for most/all chinese cities.

I doubt that this is true. Some extensions like Adblockers even make browsing faster.
Google's Web Store payments system is terrible in my experience. I haven't been able to export accounting data for https://autoplaylists.simon.codes since April 2018: I spent almost a year badgering support so I could properly file my taxes.

A letter from the New York AG got them to respond, but I still need to email them every time I need my data (they get an engineer to run a db query manually, from what I can tell).

I did get an email today that they're migrating to a new system, so maybe it'll work in the future, but I wouldn't trust them based on what I've seen.
LovelyStay | Backend TypeScript Developer | Lisbon, Portugal | ONSITE & REMOTE | LovelyStay.com

Help us develop our advanced Channel Manager / multi platform host CRM - and be a part of our small but ambitious team of developers that aims to tackle the challenges related with Short Term Rental Management of large number of properties on a user friendly platform.

We're looking for a backend developer that loves TypeScript, PostgreSQL & QueryBuilders (vs ORMs), and can help us on maintenance and incremental code improvements. We are always open to new technologies, and we reward business focused test driven refactoring.

We tend to prefer partial ONSITE, but REMOTE can be an option for the right candidate. We strongly value independent, autonomous work, and a strong willingness to learn and to challenge yourself and others. We are also developers - and we like to be challenged by new, smart and effective technical solutions to our problems.

We have a great work environment, offer health insurance + parental leave + remote / flexible working + and we strongly encourage travel - we are a tourism centered company, after all!

Come and discover the Lovely Portugal, our weather is great, excellent travel locations, rent is still accessible (as long as you stay out of the city center - there are good transports), welcoming people (you'll get along fine knowing just English), liberal views.

Looking forward to hear from you at hn@lovelystay.com

For Chess, it sounds like you need to improve looking at Tactics and Endgames.

Tactics are looking for specific exchanges that benefit you. I'd recommend https://www.chesstactics.org/ as a great resource for being taught the tactics and being able to recognize them. There's a lot of Chess Puzzles out there on things like chesstempo and lichess. If you can easily recognize and execute these tactics, then you won't lose opportunities to gain serious material advantages.

I don't have a good endgame one on hand. Fundamentally though if you know how the game will end, you can push your game state towards a useful winning position. And it helps make sure you don't give away a game by stupid mistakes.

The next layer on top of that is understanding the strategic choices. Sometimes higher level players will make what seems like a really boring move that doesn't have an immediate effect (doesn't solve or generate a threat), but it help their "position" for the future. Things like placing a rook on the open file, or positioning a bishop/knight on a "good" square.

As for openings, since you're a participant in the game you can pick a main opening line that you like and then dive into it, learning all the typical variations in the book that you might see. For example, someone might offer a Queens Gambit, but you get to choose if you Accept or Decline as Black. So experiment a bit, and if you really enjoy 1.E4 openings, then dive into the variations (and counters for when you're black).

For music, trust me learning theory doesn't turn you into an academic. It lets you recognize things, but they are merely the bones on top of which you build everything else. It's like Assembly (incoming not-great analogy). Sure you can program without ever getting into that. I have a musician friend who never got formal training and he's doing just fine and actually has a great intuitive ear and sense of the music. But the moment he learned Theory, suddenly everything clicked because he had the underlying bones for all of his intuitions he's build up over the years and can communicate them in a standard language.

I don't have great resource on-hand. But just dive into learning the theory alongside playing a lot.
Awesome! I’d be very interested to see when DynamoDB support this language and a MongoDB like query builder. Then I might sell all my MDB shares...

Sure, my statement is merely metaphorically true. It's meant to communicate the point that the CEO must optimize for being right enough frequently enough to be successful. Competition surely drives whatever that number is up, and good managers surely listen to the ideas from their line workers. And they must mentally triage ideas to be worth considering more deeply. The best managers credit the line workers and encourage more idea sharing. But the manager must do the triage, and the manager must ignore ideas that don't pass the bar, and the manager must empower only those that have a track record of producing good ideas and not the others.

Square Announces Second Quarter 2019 Results
Hot car accidents -why has tech not come to the rescue yet?
The 1 year old twins who died in their dad's hot car in Bronx after being forgotten by him are the 24th case of infant deaths in hot cars just this year. The average is 38 cases a year.
It's understandably a really rare occurrence to forget your child in your car, but a horrifically tragic one if it does happen.
This is easily preventable by simple tech like motion sensors or alarm systems to tell the parents/ care givers that hey, you can't lock your car, you're kid's still in their car seat. Or an alert if any motion is detected in the car once you've left it, there are so many simple possibilities.
Why is this not a law enforced mandatory safety feature of all car seats yet? Why are we still having such tragic, easily-preventable deaths in 2019?
Would love to know if there are any companies working on this. As a mom of a toddler, out actually as just a human being, it's disturbing to see babies dying when we have the technology to prevent such accidents.

I'm guessing like most things in the US: investors are looking to consolidate so they can get into monopolistic positions and extract resources from the market once they have it cornered. The risk of legislative intervention into such anti-competitive market manipulations is virtually zero.

If they get big enough, next time they steal wages, they won't have to back down. Heck, if they get big enough, they can steal wages, drive the company broke, and then get a bail out to pay the higher ups that are making the decisions that drove the company into the ground in the first place.

We then have the gall to blame Adam Smith, who didn't even believe in separation of funding and management (i.e. he didn't believe in joint-stock companies)
I think police searching databases for low-quality evidence like tire track, shoe prints, and fiber analysis is a very dodgy practice, for these exact reasons. The key is the specificity of the match, and I don’t think facial recognition is good enough. Fingerprints and DNA can be, but there are still known cases of people being falsely charged based on databases searches with a partial match.

This tech can be good if applied to a narrow range of people like you suggest (eg. only searching people who live in neighboring blocks) but nobody is actually doing that. We should pass laws requiring a rigorous analysis of these probabilities for such databases to be used, including a conversation about what rate of false positives we are willing to tolerate. Guardrails should be put in place to enforce those limits. If this is too hard, we don’t have a strong enough handle on this technology to be using it.

Here’s the scenario that scares me the most:

Police identify a suspect using facial recognition. Then puts that person in a lineup for a witness. Of course the witness is going to say “that’s the one!” because the suspect actually looks like the perpetrator. The witness will be sure, the cops will be sure, and a jury will convict. And this scenario is completely determined by the use of the facial recognition database. This will happen unless we pass laws to prevent it.
How to think when programming in Lisp?

Use Stripe and bake billing/account management into your app.

Same experience across browsers.
Who are we kidding? Even without JIT optimizations that seems absurdly slow.
12-tone standard actually falls nicely out of the natural harmonics inherent in music though. So there's a pretty good reason for using 12 distinct tones.

That doesn't mean you can't have amazing music once you break away from them, but just because these deviations are interesting and cool doesn't mean they aren't useful and normative for a reason.
【８／２】２０１２～２０１３年ごろに撃った霊関連書籍の内容の抜粋です（祈）†
Downvoted to hell by the Chinese internet manipulation squad.
One of the best refactoring tools is naming. Arlo Banshee wrote and interesting article about the subject some time ago (http://arlobelshee.com/good-naming-is-a-process-not-a-single...). This is a really long post, but the overall theme is iterate over code until everything has a name. To apply this to your question, the first thing you would do is take those lines, put it in a function with a bad name like “doesSomething” then keep iterating until someone can actually read the code and it makes sense.

In the beginning of learning to program it’s easy to get stuck on the “clever” side of programming, but a lot of the time it can remove readability. The earlier you learn this, the more your future coworkers will appreciate you.

Good luck!
Ask them if they judge their kid is "useless".

And since when do we judge human beings on their usefulness? Should we kill every non productive beings with that reasoning since they're not "useful"?

And nobody downvote you 2 is a shame.

Ask HN: How did you decide your path after graduation?
The thing is not many of us have the free time to choose. For example, I am an EEE senior student right now, and decided that I will master in CS. But honestly, could not decide which subject I should select and master and not much time(10 months). How did you choose yours? Did you have any roadmap that guided you?

This is the cherry on the top of all this.
I agree, 100% - missed opportunity for Mozilla.
I never said those products don't provide value, I only said they're not exceptional in providing that value and that value can be obtained by carefully considering alternative solutions.
I'm confused about why being a minority means you need more help? Are they not as capable as the rest of us? Why do you think they are so disadvantaged as to require special education and assistance? I mean we're not talking case by case basis here, your sentiments were clearly blanketed statements.
What we call multitasking is usually task switching, according to an article I read after a similar discussion on HN. The dividing line has something to do with only one task at a time being able to use an area of the brain. As long as one of the tasks doesn't use that area, you can multitask. Otherwise, you can physically only task switch.
That actually sounds like a not totally unreasonable thing to do. I’m not so certain that’s actually what going on or that it’s being handled the best.

But the US having a large dependency on a totalitarian state that imprisons millions in concentration camps seems like a bad idea. In a way we fed this beast that is modern totalitarian China by opening up trade with it. Expected liberalization that people use to sell trade with such countries (and to admonish sanctions), sadly did not actually follow in this case. The totalitarian state seems as strong as ever and is investing heavily in keeping it that way.

I guess a statement like that might draw a lot of what about X or Y. But at least with some of those other totalitarian states we deal with you can say they’re small, easy to handle both economically and militarily.

Hi!

I sent an email to vehiclesoftwarerecruiting at tesla dot com. However, I got a postmaster error that says "The group vehiclesoftwarerecruiting only accepts messages from people in its organization or on its allowed senders list, and your email address isn't on the list." Is there a different email you can provide, or possibly a fix for this bug?

Thank you,

The contrast just serves to further emphasize just how fucked up some of these districts are.
It's a contentious political question, and it's impossible to make predictions about how the fund might eventually be emptied. We could easily end up on a track that would empty the fund in 50 years, but of course you'd hope the electorate is wise enough not to let this happen.

> Why should I subsidize someone else's electric car?

You shouldn't have to, that's absurd! They can buy their own car :)

> Why should I pay for firefighters even though my house has a very low risk of burning down?

To protect the life and property of the entire community. This gets down to the point of being a necessity to protect a large group of people vs an individuals choices affecting _only_ themselves.

> Why should I pay for a rehab clinic even though I'm not an addict?

Debatable whether you should have to pay for this or not. But I would prioritize someone's life when it's on the line over a nicety like a college education. You can survive without a college education, just like you can survive without a subsidized Tesla.
