A corporation (the management, that is) also act this way because they know their maneuverability is just about the same as that of the Titanic. So while they (maybe) prepare a response knowing full well they're already late too the party they try to discredit the startup hoping it will at the very least slow it down.

Corporations can't really be as successful at innovating as a startup. A startup is free to build or reshape itself into anything, focus on a single thing, and pivot on a dime. In a corporation the same structures that hold it up and moving are the ones that resist it changing direction or promoting something new. Easy to lose focus and get lost in the red tape.

And that's before you consider the risk a CEO sees in potentially cannibalizing their own (currently successful) business or just throwing money down the drain at 98 losing ideas. Like you said, 2% of ideas may be successful so a corporation would rather let the startup play it out and then buy it if it has potential. Easier to justify to investors.

So corporations innovate when they have nothing to lose and any risk is worth taking. See MS trying to somewhat successfully reinventing themselves after seeing mobile and FOSS booming. Private companies also have an easier time innovating because they have no investor pressure. They may be behemoths but at least they can avoid suffering from the "too many cooks in the kitchen" syndrome.

I'm sorry, but I'll have to state my discontent with your product. Firstly, I question it's usability from the beginning. How accurate is it? Can you get something similar to a BAC with it? Also how often/likely is it that a false positive will happen? More importantly I fear that the "Cannabis Breathalyzer" will become like a polygraph, which can't tell whether your actually lying or not, but is merely used as a tool by police that's used against people. Comparing Alcohol to Cannabis also isn't right. These are vastly different chemicals with different effects on people. Over ~10000 people died in 2017 from alcohol impaired driving[0], can anything remotely similar be said of Cannabis? Don't get me wrong driving under the influence of any drug can be dangerous, and is why on most prescription bottles you'll have a "Do not operate heavy machinery" warning on it, but that doesn't stop everyone on medication from driving. Prohibiting Cannabis has caused much grief in the past that this tool, without accurate results and proper use, is likely going to cause more harm than good. If anything it will probably just help increase the incarceration rate to meet the status quo.

Oh I totally missed his reply in this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20718729 (currently at the top)
I'm not talking about keyless entry which still requires you to carry a keyfob, and it should be clear given that I indicated that I own the cars in question.

I'm talking about (bluetooth proximity) phone key, which apparently still is a novelty, because, as far as I know, Tesla was the first to have it, and BMW is advertising a similar system, although I don't know how it works. Their ads make it look vastly inferior, but presumably, they haven't designed a system where you have to take your phone out of your pocket and hold it up to the door handle, as this would be a step BACKWARDS from BMW's existing Comfort Access system, which uses RFID in the keyfob, and unlocks the car when you put your hand through the doorcup.
That link isn’t to PV.
>Not because they had to switch to another app to reach him, but "because he was on Android and turned the thread green" (sic).

That's a sneaky odd bit of social engineering. Wonder how many iphone sales they've actually gotten because of this.
I'm a long term ColdFusion developer (since 1999) - about 5 years ago we (the company I work for; I have autonomy to choose the stack and tools) switched to Rails (from CF) for the ecosystem.
Well, perhaps the Tridactyl devs should move back to XUL and explicitly support Pale Moon & Basilisk. It would be a strong move since Firefox won't support them or their users.
I wonder if they did a survey now if they find the density of animals higher under the panels than out in the open.

Once you consider heat from the sun, and hunting birds looking at small prey in open fields I would not be surprised that the panels provide shelter that the wildlife uses.

PADL – Paddle Share – Launching Our Pilot Station
Hi guys, we are finally launching our first public station with a goal to make it fun and easy for everyone to get out on the water! If you guys are in South Florida I would love to invite you to reach out to me and come on a paddle. If not, I would appreciate any feedback and opinions on the PADL app, our website (www.padl.co), or any thing else. Thanks!
> This is a step in the right direction, but YT's system is extra-judicial in nature, and they've decided to be more copyright holder friendly than the law itself requires

Most hosts are more copyright-holder-friendly than the law requires, because of the structural incentives in the law. (Many structure there relationship with content-submitters so that they have no liability risk from an unnecessary takedown, and thereby avoid needing to do anything with the DMCA counter-notice process, which only provides a safe harbor against claims stemming from the takedown.)
Sheep can be quite a good match with solar panels, in certain climates the presence of solar panels can actually increase the number of sheep that can sustainably graze an area. So it isn't even as if the actual farming has to stop.
There is certainly a lot of confusion surrounding the effect of cannabis on driving. I would check out the report linked below. It provides a really good list of studies on cannabis and impairment along with summaries.

I mean, if you're talking about racially charged topics (of which immigration unavoidably is) you should expect to have to be careful. I'm not sure what else to tell you.

The migrant detention issue absolutely relates to legal immigration because if you talk about reducing the number of legal immigrants, depending on your proposal that means people will be reclassified as illegal immigrants and subject to being detained.

You can't talk about immigration while trying to ignore the elephant in the room. Because when people point out the elephant and you ignore it or don't have an answer, then your argument is a poor one.
Your response here directly conflicts with what you say in the opening paragraph.

Response to my comment:

>"our device it not assisting police it arresting people for owning or even selling cannabis, just using it before driving."

Product desription from original post:

>"... we're imagining a world where there are one of our devices in every police car in North America."

And it sounds like a dystopian nightmare. This isn't about improving anything but getting a slice of the pie that serves the law enforcement industrial complex. The same one that disproportionately targets minorities and those without the means to defend themselves in court.

And that's just the intended use case, much less other use cases that it's applied to.

Truly awful product idea that will make society much worse off.
From the given data it appears that people that use stackoverflow are being paid really really low wages. Maybe people who answer online surveys are poorly paid?

My personal graphologist said that although tabbers earn more, they tend to be more focused on their work and less altruistic, so they answer less surveys.

Sampling bias is difficult to avoid in the best designed research.
I'd interpret as that they can tell users they did it, but they have to do it without the user doing anything.
I also recommend the Rails Tutorial; it covers a lot in a short amount of time.
Not least of which software...
It's definitely not. And I think the BMW ad is just a ham-fisted PR firm trying to find a visual way of conveying that you don't need a physical keyfob. I assume it works the same way Tesla's system does, but I don't know that for a fact.

Wait, actually you apparently need a Samsung phone? It uses NFC? Okay, it's worse than the Tesla system.

I think the thing is that in our past lives we had a lot more time to do nothing. Have you ever sat and stared into a fire for an extended period of time? These kinds of calm moments of reflection happened far more often in times gone past, especially for tens of thousands of years before significant we developed civilisation.

Presumably because this time was abuntantly available, evolution found ways to do some kind of bookkeeping that is very important for our survival, in a similar manner to why sleep is important.

This is of course speculation, but in the absence of definative research about the human brain, which is a ways off just yet, this is almost the best we have.
It’s not about the key you use, it’s about how it’s stored. O
I wouldn't have to try very hard to come up with what I consider to be reasonable opinions that this was a racist action (the opposite of my personal opinion). However reasonable, any of my arguments would be convoluted and probably have to use some sort of philosophical reasoning (such as moral imperative) and would have to resort to systemics, game theory, and probably even postmodern relativism.
That code would be misaligned anyway when someone changes the name of `some` or `method`.

You should format it like this (regardless of whether you use tabs or spaces):

some.method(
param,
param2,
param3
)
Don't forget the lovely green wallpaper that was arsenic based.
Lots of behaviors impair your driving ability. A study found that being dehydrated caused the same number of driving errors as being drunk [0]. I'm sure it would be easy to make a field sobriety test for blood water content, but they don't, because safety isn't the real reason these laws get made. It's just public pressure to enforce moral values.

This guy basically duct-taped together ansible, vagrant and terraform scripts to automate provisioning a virtual machine and does some filesystem tests... of an already tested and distributed kernel. And by "any project" I guess the author means any project that doesn't require real hardware or run on non-x86/AMD64 hardware.

This isn't the first time I seen a devops guy duct-tape together the newest fads and then strut like a peacock.
I have thought about it and I did so for years. I know that those projects solved hard issues and I also know that there are many people who would not have been able to complete those projects successfully. In fact, in 2011 I considered holding a presentation about how great systemd is.

But my point is a different one: If you manage such a project, you have to manage the change. And when you know that there are people who disagree with you on a fundamental level, it doesn't help driving your followers away by releasing breaking changes on a regular basis.

As an end-user, I remember for PulseAudio and systemd at least one instance where I had built something with it and after an update, it didn't work anymore and I had to adapt it.

So I don't believe that there was just a 'small percentage of people having very loud emotional reactions'. Instead, I think it was more like everybody had some problems adapting to systemd, but some saw the benefits it came with and others fought it as hard as they could (for various reasons).

So the problem isn't what Lennart had done (which is great), but how he got there. And I think Lennart would be happier today if he didn't do it the way he did.
I feel like the big disconnect here is that a lot of Tesla enthusiasts believe that the Tesla way (huge touchscreens, mobile phone unlock, etc.) are irrefutably better than the way other car makers do it. But my belief is that they're just DIFFERENT, which means that they will appeal to some people and not to others. I completely agree that someone who likes the Tesla way of doing things will have no interest in what is effectively today's BMW with an electric drivetrain. But on the other hand, someone who doesn't like the Tesla way of doing things (including me) would be absolutely thrilled to have an electric car option that is just like today's luxury German cars, except electric instead of ICE. I think (and hope) there's room for both in the market.
Dependent types are only recently becoming well known and popular.

The type systems in mainstream languages were not built with these kind of flexibility required by dependent types.
> If you talk about reducing immigration while saying little to nothing about the horrible treatment of people at our borders, then naturally people are going to take offense because you're ranking the value of reduced immigration over the value of treating people humanely.

I don't care if people are offended. I don't think the topic about humane treatment is two-sided, so I have nothing to add. I think I have to figure out what I think about broader immigration issues, so I choose to talk about that.

I do not subscribe to the implicit ultimatum of "either you are interested in what I consider the most pressing issue, or you're implicitly supporting the opposition". You think it's an elephant in the room and I would say granted that's true, I don't think it's an argument that needs to be rehashed.

I think it will change toward the obvious resolution without additional fanfare (Trump will be gone within my lifetime), so I don't spend time on topics that I think are decided. Policy is always playing catch up. That's how this society works.

I'd liken it to the difference between exercise and training. Exercise is certainly good for you, but if you want to achieve high performance, you need structure and discipline.

Meditation isn't clearing your head, it's changing it. It's developing the faculties of attention and awareness in a deliberate way. Ultimately, these are the tools you use to develop insight.

I just know how a high works on me, and I'd never drive in that condition. It would be really bizarre if a drug that effects behavior/motorics would make no difference on driving. A cursory search shows the issue has been studied for a while too:

https://www.nap.edu/read/18942/chapter/9#114

Certainly there are people who would say it has no effect on them. Met people who thought a few beers makes them better drivers, too.
Why some people seem to relation this with war on drugs? If weed was legal, I wouldnt want people driving high as a kite either, if anything this legitimizes the use of marijuana by regulating it just as alcohol.
>WhatsApp's end to end encryption and mining your conversations so under the hood the experience is radically different.

An anecdotal experience i might just chaulk up to coincidence if not for this but, was talking with a friend in WhatsApp something about babies, my friend was browsing Facebook at the same time about a minute or two after our conversation about babies, my friend started getting a bunch of baby videos popping in her Facebook feed that hadn't been there prior to our conversation.
Great, glad to hear it!
I know exactly what they are. But my point is still valid across related disciplines.
I'm not sure what this hypothetical product would measure. Driving ability? If so, what if it was found that that would discriminate against classes of people? How do you gauge driving ability anyway? I would probably win a formula one race against my wife, but she's much better at paying attention to the road on long, boring stretches of highway. But I can't imagine that it's easy to test for that.

Meanwhile, this product tests for something that's easy and simple. Have you recently used marijuana? It gives a yes or no (and presumably a level of some sort). It's not the perfect test, but it seems like a fallacy to argue against this test on the basis of a better test that doesn't currently exist.
And, that doesn't change the point... the website protected by cloudflare still controls the effective dns for that site. The lookups are controlled, and CF is a mitm vector.

A client deployment of an app, that the client had behind cloudflare was making 80ms API requests take 8 seconds. It's not always great.

I'm not saying that there aren't alternatives, and that people have to use Cloudflare... but there really isn't much in the way of an alternative at even a similar level of support and price on the low/introduction side of things. The issue regarding recaptcha can be REALLY annoying, especially on a non-google browser.
" because there happen to be terrorists, separatists, and/or rebels in it". You agree? This is to counter the spread of fake news, rumours and minimize the stone pelting. Because all of those things would happen in a place where these elements are growing by the day, infiltrated and brainwashed. and then if you use tear gas, pellet guns and other means to slow down mobs, then people will cry again. I'd rather have people cry like this than some people getting injured, hurt or worst killed, because they became a part of a mob that became impossible to control.

I don't think the Government seeks to make this a lockdown permanent and felicitate any kind of suppression. There's a provision for government the and the place can continue to have it's own powers, just that it can't become bigger than the country itself, which had become the norm.

The context does justify certain restraining measures. What sort of argument is it that claims if you're wrapping someone in a blanket in the summer, it's a crime, not looking at the fact that the person is burning? You have to take certain measures till the situation calms down and people come to the level of responding instead of reacting. If this becomes a constant thing like for years or decades like the two bills had become, then yes, I see your concern. A temporal restrain cannot be exaggerated to "war crimes".

Mercedes is debuting Real Soon Like Now (I think it's out in Europe as of.. the past few days?) the EQC electric GLC-looking SUV thing. Jag has the i-Pace, which is still uncommon here in the bay area, though I saw quite a few in Norway.

The new Audi e-tron was all over Norway, and I just saw my first 3-4 here in the Bay Area this week. (but they had permanent CA license plates so they must have been out for at least a month or so).
How confident are you that the results will indicate a level of impairment, rather than a particular concentration of THC?

Other substances contained in cannabis have significant synergistic effects with THC; are you going to look for other cannabinoids and the presence of terpenes?

The followup attack targets the "Bluetooth Asynchronous Low Latency Subsystem"
Quoting my response to Tuna-Fish:
"Trying to overpower the transmission of the BT peer is certainly the technique to take (although I was hoping not to broadcast that publicly in my original post). You will still have a tough time, however, because you're probably trying to overpower the transmission of two collocated devices (e.g. keyboard+computer) while you are 5-50feet away. In many cases you'll probably end up saturating the receiving antenna. It will be largely a trial-and-error technique, but it will work eventually."

It depends on the jurisdiction. In general, the police begin with a roadside test. This is either an standard field sobriety test (walking in a straight line, touching your nose, etc) or a screening breathalyzer. If the person fails, they are arrested and taken to the station for further testing. This is either performed using a more accurate breathalyzer, or a blood test. In general, suspects can choose which test they want (blood or breath).
This is a much better writeup, yes.

>So how do you feel about blog platforms or other service providers that allow posting user-supplied comments on their platform? Should companies and non-profits all be required be to expend resources to keep your hateful comments available to the world?

Yes.

And "hateful" is a weasel world, assuming in advanced what the comments that would get censored are.

The comments could also be unpleasant but not hateful, unpopular but not hateful, not to the taste of some group (e.g. evangelicals or vegans) but not hateful, stuff societies want to ignore and hide (e.g. past crimes or system injustices) but not hateful, sexually explicit but not hateful, out of the mainstream but not hateful, and several other categories, including hateful, but rightly so (e.g. "let's bring down this fucking oppressive dictatorship and put these bastards in prison" written referring to a country under military control, or the same such against some company's like Monsanto bad practices, etc).

>Are terms-of-service a violation of someone's first amendment?

I could not care less. That's a provincial US issue. We should care what the world should be, not think in the confine's of century old laws.

In the 21st century, some terms-of-service, especially of powerful players, should be considered a restriction on freedom of speech.

Even if one still has the freedom to open their own platform, or take a box, step on it, and say what they like to the crowds in the middle of Central park...
What legal issues when collaborating with developers from other corporations?
I can't figure out what to even call the type of training I think I need to successfully google it.

Let's say companies A and B work together, afterward A may say B was exposed to, accessed, or benefited, or stole A's intellectual property, trade secrets, etc.
If the development isn't managed well, the two companies may end up both having intellectual property claims to something newly produced.

Obviously there are legal issues that need to be understood to avoid problems when software developers from different companies have to closely collaborate.

Should HR provide training on this? Are there courses online?
