Try the 4th Amendment:

> The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Ask HN: What is the most efficient way to remember something?
How do you remember new things in your brain? Do you try to remember it as an index? or will you try to save entire information?

As an example- When reading HN, if I find something intresting I try to read the entire post so I can use new learnings in the future.

Sadly, I tend to forget about it in a week or two.

Some amount of PR is IMHO also appropriate internally to inform people about things that are happening/available if they aren't otherwise well-known.
He released a lot more than the spying on US citizens.

This lawsuit also appears to be about a different thing: the publication of his book. From the complaint (which is the government's side), he was supposed to get pre-authorization for publication and didn't. Therefore, the money from the book goes to the USG instead of Snowden.
Erik Naggum is such a legend and it's truly a tragedy that he is gone, and also that we really no longer have any technologists of his calibre.

I saw a conversation on twitter the other day about how great XML is and why we should use it more and realized that even if I posted Erik's classic take on this, it would only mean reactionary outbursts. I wonder how many people would even understand his arguments about SGML today?
should the state implement mental health screening for police officers? if a cop has this much fear and anxiety dealing with civilians they should consider another profession (let alone carry a weapon).

It’s getting late my time so excuse the brief response; it’s a business expense in the sense that I’m effectively a sole trader, so I bear as much of the cost as if it wasn’t a business expense. Rather than it being paid by a multinational corporate and having to chase down someone from accounting I’ve never met.

Laziness (and liability, to a certain extent) is that I’m responsible for keeping accurate records and invoices for all my business expenses for 6 years and if I’m not in the right mood to take that on sometimes it just doesn’t quite hit the value threshold for me to process

But I appreciate your points and it might factor into my mentality.

At least the code is uniform and extendable.
The problem I see is, that companies make money by using OS, but are often very hesitant to commit to the code and instead bug the OS developers to fix these problems. In some rare cases only a lead developer of an OS project can do that without a fork.

OS matured, contribution in 2019 does not necessarily mean you commit code. Donating some money is fair use in my point of view and is simply a sign of respect.

Also, must you always shoot the hostage taker at first sight?

1) if possible, shouldn't the court mete out the death sentence, instead of Judge Dredd, I mean, the police.

2) even from a completely tactical viewpoint, if you are dealing with more than one hostage taker, and you shot one of them, wouldn't you suspect the remaining hostage takers could get a little spooked?
> Now, I'd also expect Snowden to make sure he is not breaching those NDA's.

You... you know who Snowden is, right?
Rightly or wrongly, that is not a part of the SF86 form when one applies for a clearance.

The SF86 form offers no leeway for moral objections. So in such a scenario, it would be better to not submit the SF86 form in the first place.

The only people I'm aware of that can publish classified information without punishment are journalists.
> That leads to moral vagueness

By that logic, every law leads to moral vagueness. What's "child abuse"? If you spank your child, in some jurisdictions that's fine. In others it's illegal. For all I know, there may be some where it's okay so long as you don't leave bruises. Does that prevent us from making justified accustations of child abuse?

What's spousal rape? In some jurisdictions there is no such crime. In others it is a crime.

What's copyright infringement? Again, the details differ by jurisdiction. Different jurisdictions recognize different fair use or fair dealing considerations, and have different lengths of time for copyright protection.

> calling you a killer, because you kill insects

If I killed someone, and you call me a killer because of that, by pointing to the dictionary and legal definitions, can my friends defend me by saying that the definition is overly vague?

FWIW, I am a killer of insects - Killer is a not-uncommon nickname, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_(nickname) - I am a criminal because I've been ticketed several times for breaking traffic laws, I believe there is a strong argument against defining sexting as the production of child pornography, similar to the argument allowing some minors to have sex with adults of similar age.

I do not believe there is a strong argument in saying that sex with someone who is unable to grant consent is not sexual abuse.
That is probably what you or I would do, yes. My point was that perhaps such disclaimers should not always be as necessary as they are.
If soldiers in an active war zone can follow their rules of engagement and resist shooting civilians even though they're scared, so can cops.

If Amazon doesn't pay you, then why are you scared of breaking Amazon?

I understand why somebody would be scared of that. They're big and important to the tune of many many billions of dollars, while you or I are not. But you shouldn't let that get to you. You should make a conscious effort to not let that get to you. If they want you to take their problems personally, let them hire you. If they can be broken by you but are unwilling to pay you, then fuck them. Put them lower in your priority queue than private individuals.
>When the police are trained to de-escalate first instead of shoot first, swatting will stop.

Apparently he attempted to by asking Finch to raise his hands, and instead the hands went to pull up his pants instead.

If true, and police/swat are called to the scene of a murder with additional hostages, then a person leaving the residence reaches for their waist area instead of complying with a request to raise his hands...its simply tragic.

But I assure you, if the officer didn't shoot Finch, swatting wouldn't stop. Its not like these guys would have said well we swatted the address and swat didn't kill the guy...so lets stop swatting. They would have sat in the safety of their own home laughing and virtual high-fiving each other for a job well done and planning the next.

Its become a scapegoat for mass shootings, which is unfortunate, but people who do this are some combination of psychopath, mentally ill, and/or on drugs. Society simply has no interest in acknowledging or managing these people.
Can one of the internet lawyers out there explain why this is a civil lawsuit, and not a criminal lawsuit?

I'd think that if he committed an actual crime, it would be a criminal suit. I thought civil suits were for people trying to get money out of each other.

Or is this like how the feds couldn't get Al Capone for murder so they put him away for tax evasion?
One thing that bugs me really hard about gitlab.com (and gitlab ce) is the broken flow when I come about an interesting repo and want to star it. I'm logged out, click on "Star", log in and I'm at my profile. I have to navigate back to the repository in question and click "Star" again.

Other than that it's really great software. I wouldn't want to miss running Gitlab CI.
Yea, awesome museum (I visited when I was in Dayton on business a couple years ago), it compares well to Nat'l Air and Space (including Udvar-Hazy in NoVA). I actually enjoyed it more due to it being far less crowded :)
Peerlinks: Distributed Secure IRC Protocol Implementation
Both the school I went to 20 years ago and the school I teach at now offer Probability&Statistics and AP Prob&Stats and at neither school is Calculus a required course. In fact, you can take any of our 4 Computer Science courses as your 4th year math credit, but usually students choose between Stats or Calculus (or just take both)

I'd wager it's been a while since Joel was in a school and the course offerings across the board are likely quite different than he remembers.
Welp, I guess I got raped (or maybe "creeped"?) a lot when I was younger? As a guy in my 20-21 I had sex with a lady in her early 60s.

If someone had told me that we'd be violating this ridiculous American "creepiness" rules of yours, I'd have missed out on a lot of fun.
Target, Kaliningrad: Eucom Puts Putin on Notice
I obviously cannot speak for anyone but myself with any kind of certainty, but I don't think that's a completely uncommon viewpoint. I mean, the whole mantra of "pick yourself up by your bootstraps" is more or less predicated upon the idea that your fate is completely up to you.
To me it seems that the police who killed the civilian is not any better than the one who killed the father of your friend. (In fact, he seems worse because at least the dude that killed your friend's father could use the "castle doctrine" defence)

Does anyone have any suggestions for how we should actually handle situations like these?

Kids playing video games and getting very angry at other players online, is going to happen. Is there something that can be done at this level?

I remember hearing things back in my high-school COD days. Kids are brutal, and terrible at coping with their emotions. Saying things like "I'll stab you! You ....", at the drop of a hat. I always wrote off these types of threats as a form of venting. But then again, I never shared any personal information with people online. So I wasn't worried.

Swatting... This has been going on for quite some time now. Maybe we can start here? Train responders to be aware of these potential scenarios - that the whole thing _could be_ BS, and you should approach the situation open-mindedly, rather than expecting a battle. De-escalation training, etc. Why are police not showing up and assessing the situation first hand these days? Before taking a 911 caller's word as gospel. Assess the situation, on-site.

Giving some kid more prison time will not dissuade others. There's a lot of research done to show that negative reinforcement like this doesn't work.
> Barriss falsely claimed he was at the address provided by Viner, that he’d just shot his father in the head, was holding his mom and sister at gunpoint, and was thinking about burning down the home with everyone inside.

Who would not be more than a bit stressed if they believed this was the actual situation?

I don't know all the facts, and maybe reasonable people would conclude the cop acted in an unprofessional or even criminal way.

That's not the point: the point is this kind of thing will keep happening because of the mix of nervous people with lots of guns.

But isn't China's growth still mostly in the non-poor parts of it, and isn't that 12k figure pulled down by the exchange rate and the massive rural population?

That 6% is concentrated in the "first world" part of China and should still be regarded as impressive.
It's 15 months, not years.
I think this is sad news, but that's because I view the current "rapid release" trend and being, on the whole, a bad thing for everyone. It decreases software quality, decreases stability, and increases hassle and stress for everyone from developers to users.

Why "probably"? I fail to see how uBO is related to "things get cached that don't need to be".
I would say it's more like the 50% tax on drugs: yes it is illegal to sell (illegal) drugs, but if you still do it, then you need to pay taxes on the money you make selling them.

They either get you for doing the illegal thing or for the money you should have paid them while doing it.
Yea, we don't get this crap anywhere else in the world. You read a story like that and you're waiting to read which U.S. state it all happened in. And this isn't just anti-American rhetoric. I feel so very sorry for the vast amount of people who just want to live their lives happily in the USA, but are forced to share their home with such horrible, often institutional, violence.
Which version? The early ones with Joel and Jeff were great. The later ones were overly produced and pretty terrible.
> Does anyone have any suggestions for how we should actually handle situations like these?

You shouldn't be able to call in a hit on someone by calling the cops on them.
I meant this technically: it was tolerable because it was tolerated. They could've disassociated from him after any of his troubling statements. They didn't.
Have you even watched the video of the shooting? Being amped up wasn't an excuse here.

There was multiple cops aiming rifles at this guy, who was raising his hands when he was shot. The officer that shot him said he saw him move his hands at that's why he shot him.

Even if the guy had a gun, there was no way he would've had time to raise it, aim it accurately (at cops who were behind cover) and take a shot without police being able to fire at him first after clearly seeing it was a gun. Plus, at that distance, he wasn't likely to hit a cop who was behind cover with a pistol anyway, even if he was able to shoot many shots.
What motivates a DDoS attacker? Are they all just wannabe vigilantes seeking to right some perceived wrong (such as being banned from a club, opposing political views, etc)? Is there ever a clear economic motive?
That's fair. I don't know what happened. But I assume he cheated on his wife. I consider that not having integrity.

If I'm wrong and he didn't cheat on his wife, then I stand corrected.

I disagree with your last statement. The problems with the world are because fewer people have integrity than because more people are believing tabloids.
It's one of those amendment thingies.
A very good point and an angle I'd not considered to what you were saying. What I said of course assumes that the result of the change is worth the effort in and of itself. Usually true for a product managed by a business, potentially less true when the implementer simply chooses whatever they want to change in an open source project.
How much money YouTube pays creators with 4M views
> self-determinism, education, and opportunity for women, not money

Those look a lot more like money and power than happiness. As a counter point, I might list "community" or "the right to express ones thoughts and emotions" if I was going for the happiness > money angle.

> How do you feel personally about doing unpaid labor?

I do quite a bit of community service, and offer help to anyone who's following their dreams. Unpaid labor is an important part of a functional society. Once again, not everything needs to revolve around money.

> Drawing a global conclusion about gender inequality based on your personal experience is a pretty bad idea.

Yeah, but drawing a conclusion based off data that doesn't equate to happiness is equally meaningless. Nobody is having a great time and we're fighting over breadcrumbs. It's like a bunch of homeless people infighting over panhandling inequality. As if panhandling is the way it should be, it's just not equal enough.
> Go talk to someone on the front lines and tell them they are doing it wrong.

Sometimes, the people on the front lines aren't great at looking at things from a system-wide perspective.

Really? He was a "terrible human being" because he said something ignorant and was socially awkward / a bit rude in person?

I'm not defending what he said but this is a really backwards way to look at things. There are plenty of manipulative CEOs and public figures who are very careful with their speech while doing harm in their actions. Stallman turned down money for decades to do something good for the sake of public interest. There really aren't many people like that, in this industry or even on this site. It sucks he conflated his movement like this, but jumping to that conclusion based on something so shallow seems just as stupid.

My shit does stink, yes. Never felt a need to cape up for pedophiles, but I've certainly said and believed some real unfortunate shit. I used to be a shitty little "libertarian" when I was younger who, through saying things, did hurt people. Had the modern MRA/GamerGate funnel existed when I was young I'd probably have fallen into it. As it is, I've spent most of my adult life being coached out of and in many ways deprogramming myself out of being a selfish reactionary, and working (deeds, not words) to make up for being shitty.

I'm not a particularly good person--but I'm working on it in a conscious way. He can, too.
>We need to supply police with both lethal and non-lethal weapons.

Less-lethal weapons leads to them just tazing more people for contempt of cop (people who would generally not be shot). The net amount of violence increases because police use less lethal weapons to force compliance in situations where they had not previously had that option.
