ClassDojo and related dystopian apps are really terrible for morale and have an antieducational result. If your kid's school wasn't enough of a prison camp indoctrinating them with propaganda wait until you see the results after the Dojo marketers get all the teachers mesmerized and on board with tracking every tiny thing and sending alerts constantly to parents about the most minor and always irrelevant issue. Obsession with microdata that has nothing to do with the actual academics or intellectual understanding of concepts allows teachers to ignore academics and turn everything into a operant conditioning experiment. Alert dings replace bells.

If your school district mandates Dojo, move districts or homeschool. If it's optional, meet with them and make sure they understand they are not under any circumstances to use it on your child and you deny consent. It is abusive software and its use should be banned by law if we want to have good schools and an educated populace in decent mental health. Constant nagging over minor issues destroys psychological well being. Imagine living with a partner who used such an app, or working for a boss. Anyone would agree that would be an abusive situation. Now why would you subject your children to such a thing.

Ask HN: What is your experience installing/using Linux on a Mac machine?
The feature being a worldwide premier, with no past experience, I honestly expected that Tesla had added more sounds and visual warnings when the Summon feature is running, such as flashing the car's headlights and emitting regular "bip" (like when a big truck is doing a reverse manœuvre), to catch the attention of other drivers, or even warn blind people when the Tesla is near.

Then, once the feature is polished with more real world data, they can always remove the warnings later.

The video with the white car coming through especially is scary. From all the sensors and marketing materials I know from Tesla, I would expect the Tesla to have detected that white car way sooner and stopped automatically. There was really no ambiguity to what decision to take here.

Rant: I'm just using MS Win for the first time after 15 years of using Linux (most recently KDE/Plasma on Ubuntu) .. how does anyone not throw the thing out the window.

I have a surface pro with dock for extra screens. Every time you undock-redock you now have to rearrange your windows .. no workspaces? Does anyone at MS even use their stuff? Why would it not show a "docked view" and "undocked view" automatically?

As for the lack of "keep above", and nevermind "focus follows mouse but don't raise", ... argh.

You can install apps to fix these things (some AutoHotKey based, for example) but as a daily work tool it seems awfully deficient; and of course our IT people won't allow installs.

It doesn't seem feature complete for the basic task of window management.

Come on - downloading random binaries off of random websites and running them is a bad idea. It's always been a bad idea. This is the reason casual people get infected with random trojans, adware, malware, and so on, and the main reason Windows desktops tend to be such a cesspool.

You can still do it on Linux, but it's an exception to the rule not the other way around.

It’s worth noting that many of us consider self driving to he essentially analogous to full AI in its complexity and difficulty, and thus believe that we are literally nowhere near anything that fits this description.

No amount of “data” is going to solve the problem. Driving a car requires making a full mental model of the immediate world you’re in and creating accurate predictions of what everything else in that world is about to do, many of those things being sentient beings with whom you’re communicating through your own actions.

Nothing that Tesla is doing is getting much closer to that. The next major landmark on this timeline is a team successfully passing the Turing test, not a car moving across a parking lot.

If you share that opinion, that makes the Tesla a lethal toy.
Interesting comment and one that conflicts with what most automakers are saying in regards to where the industry is going.

>Would you consider cleaning toilets and prostitution for supporting yourself as "no different"?

If entered voluntarily, I do not see a moral difference.

I do however recognize that there still is a societal stigmatization when it comes to sex work (there is also stigmatization when it comes to "menial" jobs such as cleaning toilets, but less so). This stigmatization to me doesn't appear to have a rational footing, but either comes from "traditional" and/or "religious" values (same as opposition to homosexuality), or from confusing voluntary sex work with involuntary sex work (as I often see in self-proclaimed "feminist" perspectives).

All in all, a lot of societies seem to be in a state of cognitive dissonance, where voluntarily selling your body for sexual gratification of others is illegal... unless you make a movie out of it, or do not actually perform outright sexual intercourse (strippers, dominatrixes).
History has shown over and over that societies based on money don't work either. They're inherently unstable politically and ecologically and make very poor use of human potential.

If your idea of human potential is an iPhone and an app for controlling your washing machine from the sofa, you're going to disagree with this.

If your idea of human potential is a peaceful and sustainable culture with the resources to maximise education, personal inventiveness, and creativity; to make consistently game-changing leaps in scientific understanding; and to colonise the solar system, you're not going to be quite as impressed.

The idea that there's a trade-off between money and "people doing the right thing" is not convincing.

Belonging to a successful culture requires some form of dues-paying. That's not avoidable.

The challenge is to make sure that the dues aren't just a tithe to bad-actor opportunists - which is the basis of the current system, especially in the US - but provide unquestionable economy-of-scale opportunities and benefits that are disproportionate to their "cost" - however that cost is realised in practice.

Yup. The following is from a previous HN Tesla discussion:

Tesla Will Have Full Autonomy in 2020, Musk Says

Tesla has an advantage here in that they
don't feel the need for their autonomy
to be particularly safe.

These problems and accidents are a direct result of Tesla's laissez-faire attitude toward autonomous driving. They do whatever the fuck they think they can get away with, consequences be damned.

So far, they've been allowed to get away with quite a lot.

If you think about it, formal education for many professions works a bit like a cast system.

It acts as a social filter preventing a large number of people from persuing a given profession that they otherwise could do just because their parents couldn't afford to rent a flat to their kid in another city for several years.

I don't think that there is any relation between the type of education that someone has (online vs formal) and a personal characteristic like perseverance.

There could be many people that could not afford formal education, learned online and are still perseverant. The two things are unrelated it just sounds like prejudgement.
Right. It's not really the hsm itself I worry about (although as we saw with the Xbox hack people are able to do some crazy stuff) , but the possibility of working around/breaking the os login manager - manipulating the camera or hooking up a custom "keyboard" or some such.

This part of the article was a bit silly -- Canada is nothing like this. I feel like he tied his own experiences with late-soviet bureaucracy to his frustrations with conservative Canadian business climate; but the two are not analogous really.

Canada is a market economy with very low corporate taxes and when compared to European economies regulation is actually very light. Our business norms and regulations are tied in most part very closely to the United States.

But the investment culture is very conservative and the economy is tied excessively to resource extraction.

And yes, there is a long history of a few families having strong dominance over everything, and of businesses/companies gaining monopolistic positions through regulation. An example of this is the wine industry in Ontario -- I could go on a long rant about that... but I'll restrain myself.
You speak the truth. I've tried to explain this to them previously but they just ignore it. I use Arch now, but if I had to use something Debian-based I'd pick PopOS.

Oh of course, I like Bitwig very much! The modular engine ("Grid") is great! But I have a lot of material from the past in Live so, even if I switch to Bitwig, I may still need to use Live from time to time. But I guess a Win VM would suffice for that type of usage.
> A score of X doesn't help with any of those.

The only advantage is that it provide subpoena-able data empirically proving that most teachers have it in for certain classes of students, whether they are aware of it or not. The data is ripe for both academic study and class discrimination lawsuits and the sooner the better.

Websites do have enough possibilities to restrict legal access to their content. Google is respecting entries in robots.txt for search restrictions.

If some media lobbyists are whining about Google not paying for their news snippets they talk about it like they are forced to show snippets from their site on Google but in fact, they are not. They just want to cash grab successful internet companies and initiate a smear campaign against them like it is done in several newspapers in Germany in the last few weeks.
I love that this focuses on event modeling as opposed to CQRS / Event Sourcing specifically.

Those patterns are useful (CQRS and ES), and they imply a certain design, but event modeling and domain driven design are what really tie systems together.

One thing I'm not sure I entirely agree with though is the flat cost of change. We've been working on an event modeled system for about 4 years now. It has grown in complexity and we've learnt a lot and we've invested a lot.

At this point we are probably approaching a flat cost, but initially our cost increased quicker than a traditional project.

There are a lot of pitfalls and learnings about building a system this way. Building read models gets very tiresome, and dealing with concurrency and idempotency are still hard (you just have a better tools / language for dealing with them).

Having that, once you break the back of this and build the internal skills, it is a great way to work and I really believe the systems will scale much more easily (both in performance and feature capacity). It's worth realising the effort to get there is substantial tough.

I've done lots of embedded development on Linux, and it's mostly been a painless experience. Segger has a Linux library which works great, as well as Embedded Studio which runs on Linux. GCC-arm and several other compilers are avaible. I've been working a lot with Nordic Semiconductor's ARM-based SoCs, and I'd say Linux is a fully viable environment for the applications I've worked on.
From a purely operational perspective; this is also a reason to avoid them.

If it's throwaway then sure, but building your critical infrastructure around a single provider is really bad business hygiene for the sole reason that you can never control for your dependency increasing costs arbitrarily.

Maybe that's fine for most people, people seem to optimise (or value?) developer time over basically anything else so maybe it's something that's already taken into account.

> And India only gained status after its Muslim rule

I call big bullshit on this one. India had status on its own right. It was called Bharat, and before that Aryavarta and before that Jambudweepa. One of the many names of Ancient India. Islam did not even exist during this time. Islamic invasion happened purely because of India's status. The objective was three fold: Destroy idols, monuments and temples, rape the women and plunder the wealth. Many were converted by force and many sacrificed their lives fighting. Read the haunting stories of Hindu Kush and why it is called that and you will get your answers. Visit the temples that lie in ruin in various parts of India, the most famous site being Hampi of erstwhile Vijayanagara Empire that was completely destroyed due to invasions. Do not even dare try to whitewash this genocide of Hindus and Hindu culture by giving it a "status". There is no status that can be given to massacres carried out to destroy a civilization. What happened to Hindus during the Islamic rule was worse than what happened to Jews during the Nazi regime.

All Abrahamic religions are modern compared to Sanathan Dharma which is one of the last surviving Ancient civilization. Most of the other civilizations either perished on their own or were destroyed systematically by Abrahamic religions. These are recorded facts. Not recorded by Hindus but by those who committed the atrocities. From Genghis Khan, to Aurangzeb all the way to the British (Bengal Famine) and Portuguese (Goa Inquisition). Everyone committed grave atrocities on Hindus for which there hasn't even been recognition let alone an apology. Yet Hindus did not retaliate in kind. So I call bullshit on everything you just uttered.

This is not "Hindu Nationalism". This is facts. And facts hurt.
Yes.

If I was in a situation where I could either prostitute myself (legally, in a safe-enough environment like a legal club with a bouncer) or clean toilets (legally, in a safe-enough enviroment), I'd probably end up with prostitution.

Then again, I live in a country where the welfare system is good enough that I always have a third option...

PS: Let me explain this a little further.
I know only one prostitute loosely (old friend; I did not ever use her services; or the services of any prostitute for that matter) and while I am sure she did not tell me all the shit she encounters in her current job, she actually worked as a "cleaning lady" in a hospital before becoming a prostitute full time. She says she will never go back to being a cleaner. She'd like to get a better accepted job with better job security that she can still work when she gets older, so when we last spoke she was looking into taking classes to become an accountant, but for now she says she is happy with the life prostitution affords her relatively easily. "It's better than begging the state for money, and I can still afford nice things and go on vacations"

I actually know a lot more such "cleaning ladies" from the same hospital (who probably still work there). Every cleaner ranted about how the job ruins their backs, their joints, etc, and that old age will not be fun for them and that they saw a ton of co-workers retire early because their bodies gave out and they ended up on welfare because their early-retirement money was not sufficient.
So you’re not actually just advocating for the “sex worker perspective”; you’re also an apologist for pimps.

Acting independently is different to being unmonitored. Parents should monitor their children, not doing that is called abandonment or dereliction. You can monitor a child and have them act independently, there's no dependency between these things.

Yes, the level of monitoring is a tricky issue.

If I had reports of "toilet in class time", and it suddenly increased one month, then I could investigate why - bullying, UTI, boredom? Which helps me to care for my child.

Now, the likelihood is that I'll notice these things earlier than that, but as children grow they usually become experts at hiding things, like being bullied. As parents aren't in school, and teachers can't see everything, and it's not always possible to have a chat with the teacher, then some monitoring can be useful to aid parenting.

For example, we get an absence record each month, that's useful monitoring that infringes on a child's independence. But it's also vital data for safety, and to ensure a child is getting educated. If my older kid missed an afternoon without my permission, that's no biggy (we all have bad days), but if they miss time often then there are problems; if a younger kid is out of school by themselves that might be a serious safety issue.
