There's what they technically arrested him for, which was apparently not cooperating with a police investigation, and there's why they really arrested him, which is that there is a very strong possibility that he was instrumental in forcing several children to live in a basement for 9 years, but they don't have the evidence sorted out for that charge yet.
Based on the bar-chatter, it sounds like the boy was being held against his will.

There’s probably also a case of negligence to be made. Keeping children in basements for a long time is likely to impede their development.
Hey HN! I'm Nicu, one of the co-founders of Airbeam.

We’re happy to announce Airbeam Beta. My co-founder and I have been working on Airbeam for several months and we're super excited to finally show it to you.

Airbeam is a visual tool aimed for building web & mobile UIs embracing the medium in which the product is built — thus integrating both designing and building into the product development process.

Traditional UI design tools are isolated from the actual capabilities and constraints of the platforms that product teams are building for. We think too much time is spent creating disposable designs and replicating them in code. Airbeam helps designers and developers iterate faster in the actual medium, as opposed to iterating high-fidelity simulations that end up being rebuilt during development. We think it’s time to move on to a more efficient way of building web & mobile applications.

Airbeam is still in its early stage, but we want to share with you the first step of its development journey — which allows Sketch designs upload, dynamic layouts, React/ Vue/React-Native code generation and export to Codesandbox and Expo.

The next step, which will be live in the following months, involves capabilities related to building from scratch — drag & drop, support for ant design components, publish to npm & git . If you’re as excited as we are, stay tuned — we’ll keep you posted.

We would love to hear your thoughts! Feel free to also ask questions or suggest improvements.
My Dad first saw "Howl's Moving Castle" subbed, then dubbed. he said he could connect to the dubbed a lot better. He also found it surprising that Billy Crystal was Calcifer.
More people should try high performance services with non-traditional protobuf implementations. The fact that every language has a generated parser in no way preclude you from parsing them yourself. Hand-rolled serialization of your outbound messages can also be really fast, and the C++ gRPC stack will just accept preformatted messages and put them on the wire. Finally the existence of gRPC itself should not make you feel constrained against implementing the entire protocol yourself. It’s just HTTP/2 with conventional headers.
If you haven't talked to a stranger in 9 years, and back then you were a child, it might take 5 beers to get ready to talk about your situation.
I espect Ionic React to take a huge share of react native developers on the long term.

React native has far less support of web standards/ features than Ionic, especially modern CSS support.
Thus ionic give you more power to build feature rich, UX rich apps.

Secondly react native has very poor debugging experience, meanwhile ionic support devtools (I couldn't get it to work on RN).

Thirdly, contrary to popular belief, I expect ionic to have generally better performance than react native.
Chromium evolve quickly and has an army of engineers that bring state of the art optimizations to the web.
For example in a few releases, chromium will render elements using Vulkan by default.

Lastly, ionic is more native than react could ever be as it supports all 3000+ cordova plugins and seamless Java interop.

The ability to reuse the codebase for the web and for electron are also huge advantages.

Things will only get better once capacitor stabilize.

Still, I really wish that Ionic now focus on Vue.js/ts support.
Things always go great in socialist countries until they run out of other people's money to spend and then the whole thing gets exposed for what it is: an unsustainable system that just makes everyone poorer, all in the name of 'equity' and a bunch of hand-wavy misdirections so they can keep the lie their system is better than capitalism going.

I'd guess it goes something like, "We have 75 petabytes of data to move over and would like to use your services but are concerned about costs. What kind of prices can you give us?".
I want to point out that there is no citation for this straw-man thought experiment.

Even the Heritage Foundation, which is incentivized to dig up as much voter fraud as it possibly can, has only found fewer than 1250 individual cases in what seems to be the last decade. This is overwhelmingly lower than the preposterous 1% presented in the above straw-man. https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud

Indeed my point was not just about voter fraud, but the racist history of Voter ID laws in the US. My overall point was that there is overwhelming and easily accessible evidence that voter ID laws are racist and that voter fraud is not an issue.
I have some minor hacks I've made to sublimeless zk which help it play nice with dark mode in KDE Neon (otherwise the Qt themes get overriden). They're super messy tweaks, but if anyone is interested I'll consider cleaning up and submitting a PR.

This is all because we know each other and have had a previous professional working relationship. Everyone that worked there pretty much became my friends also.

And me! Now this is interesting:

Cromulent first appeared in the February 18, 1996 episode of The Simpsons called "Lisa the Iconoclast," in what could be considered a throw-away line given during the opening credits. The schoolchildren of Springfield are watching a film about the founding father of Springfield, Jebediah Springfield. The film ends with Jebediah intoning, “A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.” One teacher at the back of the room leans over to another and says that she’d never heard the word embiggen before she moved to Springfield. “I don't know why,” the other teacher replies. “It's a perfectly cromulent word.”

America, the country where you can't stop massive voter fraud because every time it is tried, one of the two parties disallow legal voters from voting. America might be richer than Europe, but it seems to me to be much more dysfunctional.
> So, on the one hand, 5G is going to make unicorns fly down and carry us to the heavens on wings of pure data, and on the other hand, it can't go through walls...?

This fact has nothing to do with 5G. It is physics. A high-frequency carrier is not able to penetrate objects as well as it does with a lower frequency.

Zeronet is sites-over-bittorrent: you connect to people seeding the site, download it, and then you also become a seeder for other people. By default everyone can tell you (that is, your public IP) are serving a particular site, but you can use Tor to make it much harder to find out what is your IP.

OnionShare is just a regular webserver (every visitor accesses the site by connecting to a single machine: yours), but it automatically only serves it behind Tor, for the same reasons as above.

The advantage of this seems to be mostly simplicity (both in implementation and in setting Tor and such up) and possibly speed of first download for lightly used sites.

The advantage of Zeronet is that more people can serve the site, even if the original machine is offline or overwhelmed.

Reducers Are Fuzzers
One of the more interesting (to me) effects of the dot com crash was the evaporation of all the hot shot MBAs looking to find a technical co-founder who could make their lead-into-gold business plan work. Perhaps the dying of the unicorns has taken the shine off "making it big in Silicon Valley" once again. That and the softening housing market might almost make you think we were headed into the next 'down' cycle.

I also learned from that experience that understanding value chains, organizational dynamics, and market positioning were in fact a very real and solid component of company success. There are good MBAs and there are bad ones, just like there are good and bad engineers, or chefs or lawyers.

If the drop in applications mean that it isn't considered the next "get rich quick" exit then I think that is a good thing.
To be under mutation-selection balance, mutations affecting a trait must be selected at a sufficient rate to maintain the trait, because it affects fitness. Those with the highest number of mutations affecting the trait must be selected against. The easiest way to affect fitness is to damage health. As it happens, mental illnesses damage fitness enormously. So, for a mutation-selection balance trait, those with the least mutations damaging health and fitness will have the highest trait values ie. extreme intelligence.
Interesting are you an international team?
Sure - but this isn't the answer for everyone.
> Film has a higher dynamic range than digital sensors today still.

No, not really.

Digital sensors surpassed film a long time ago in terms of DR. Film has 12-13 stops while it's pretty common these days in pro digital gear to have 15 stops of DR. Roma (the movie) was totally shot on digital because it has better DR than film.

As for resolution any modern pro camera (+8K) has more detail than 35mm or even 70mm film and much lower noise levels.

I'm not denying that film has its charm, but aesthetics are very subjective.
How Data Saved My Child
No, because Toyota does not use consumer-grade parts in cars. This eMMC (H26M42002GMR) is not even rated for automotive temp range! (flash wears out faster and retains data worse at higher temps)

The mayor confirmed in their press conference that all children were registered and noted that it was weird that they were never checked on their school attendance (mandatory at that age).

Kudos! This is a great project. I have one bone to pick, though. Had a show stopper issue a few months back with capacitor and the entire Ionic team was unresponsive, even on github. The issue was sending cookies to the server. Cookie would get set on the response but subsequent requests would not include the cookie. This was extremely aggravating and I had to halt my development. Relevant Github issue: https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues/1373. Would be great to know if a solution was ever found.
If I were in that situation, I would make a reasonable effort to keep scripts as polyglots: Make sure they both run in Python 2 and in Python 3. In my experience, doing so is pretty easy to do when writing new code from scratch with Python 3 compatibility in mind.

The “no one is maintaining Python 2” issue is an example of open source economics in action: Everyone wants Python2 to be maintained, but no one is stepping up to plate to pay for it to be maintained, so it’s not getting maintained.
The article does say "salary and bonus" though... So if the figures are true there must be a good number of people not getting close to this.

And regardless, still a far cry from what OP was claiming.
So rewriting everything onto a new platform is cheaper and less risky than doing the work to break dependencies on Oracle JDK? I know nothing about your situation, but it sounds to me like you've made a mistake somewhere.
If you start that, let me know. I'll then head to my local Nobu with a friend, and pretend I'm from Adobe discussing an imminent deal to buy Docusign, while holding Docusign shares :)
You're obsessed with "5G can't go through walls". This is a meme and does a dis-service to your knowledge.

5G reuses existing 3G and 4G frequencies, but with better rf management (among other things). The mmwave frequencies are to address mass-crowd scenarios, which currently today already cause 4G DAS deployments to almost burst at the seams.

These are not "my" opinions. These are the current state of affairs re RF management and planning.
Apparently at least some of the kids were never registered with authorities at all!

But there is still a huge amount of speculation going on, the whole story could be completely different in a few days.
Yes, but employers sure treat it like a lot of money
It would also be important to remove people that have registered to vote elsewhere.
maybe they wouldn't be idiots if the top schools took more rich kids!

It remains an enormous amount of money for a lot of people.
> I thought they would be made up of individual systems talking to each other in messages.

That's how my 2011 BMW is. It's not exactly the most reliable car, but I'd imagine things would be much worse if it weren't designed that way.

For example, my body control module (FRM) just recently died, but the engine still runs and the car can still be driven, just none of the lights work.

The non-critical systems communicate with the powertrain bus through a special CAN gateway in an attempt to isolate the systems.
It would be nice to at least see some hazy consideration of the impact of this. I know a probation officer for sex offenders and she tells me trying to keep up with their technology use is a nightmare. I can only imagine how this complicates her job.

That's not saying that on balance this shouldn't exist. There are of course good uses of technology like this. But I'd at least like to see builders grappling with that balance. Especially given recent prominent reporting around this: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/09/28/us/child-sex-...

That's one perspective.

Microsoft moved to a model where addressing security updates, non-security failures and feature enhancements in rolled together into one stream of change.

You need to look at your risks systematically. If you're a billboard provider, uptime matters, and you update when risks exist that you don't have other controls for. In an individual or corporate use case, ymmv. Some people want the bleeding edge all of the time. Other people want a stable user and application experience, and apply fixes for security or functional errata only.

People ultimately make choices. From what I see, many people are doing the stuff that matters to them to the perceived stability of their phone. Schools are increasingly Chrome-focused. Enterprises are still Microsoft, but they are spending too much on Windows.

I make it a matter of principle to do childish things when I feel like it, and I think it helps keep me young(er). Had to stop jumping over the fence when picking up my kids from preschool though after a teacher told me it made it harder for them to keep the kids from leaving the premises. Can't win them all!
I prefer DDG over other search-engines any day, the thing I love best is that the search results are impersonal to me, the problem with Google is that it learns your preferences and ends up being just an echo chamber for your own opinions

Median household income in USA is $59,039.

That's both the mother AND father working to bring home $59,039 on the average (before taxes and other costs).

Its clear you live in a rich area where $100k isn't much. But that's also why a large chunk of Americans think that "city-folk" are disconnected from reality. $100k is a lot for many people.

The main difference is that the probability of a typical ICE ECU or TCU failing is much lower than a Linux-based infotainment system running on non automotive grade flash.
in the places where you can regularly find work for 100k, 100k is not a lot of money.
You can model it.

- Get upvote snapshots of all top-level comments' authors in this thread. Take repeated measurements at relatively low time resolution. Also compare this to any other comments they may be making (have a model of the type of comment: follow-ups that are deeply nested probably have a lower upvote velocity)

- Find archive.org snapshots of OP as well as the authors of all other upvoted comment threads. Find the delta from then to now. Some authors will have recent data.

- For a better model, construct historical graphs of all authors using these methods and use it to iteratively adjust.

- Make sure you understand the ranking algorithm and that it is reflected in your model.

Nontrivial, but could be a fun exercise.

I thought the mayor did confirm that the children existed on paper [0] but even if not they claim to have been there for 9 years putting the youngest child at 7 years old. They'd have been at school and disappeared??

More details are coming out. The 58-year old renter who was arrested did have an income (from work as a carpenter), and he bought groceries. He was not the father of the kids / young adults, the father was also inside, bedridden as he suffered a stroke a number of years ago.

I'm assuming he didn't pay for his beers. In small pubs you only pay your bill when you leave. Not that he'd know.
That's a problem.

I think the "no one is looking" argument is valid, but can be damaging in the long run. The same line of reasoning was applied to the Snowden Leaks by those who wanted to spin it as a "nothingburger". The reason nobody is looking is because it requires a lot of money to build the systems that can derive facts from data while "no one is looking". As advances continue to be made in ML, then the visual data most people are currently taking for granted will become more easily parsed systematically. A system that pre-processes and stores all the recorded locations of a given list of faces is competely possible by today's standards. A database of mugshots and a continuous stream of CCTV data is all you'd really need to get started.
You don't understand how the EM drive works, you just keep repeating a law, which is true, without any understanding how how the device actually works.
The big difference between DVD/Blu-Ray vs streaming, is that I haven't owned a physical media player since 2006 or so. I would imagine there are a lot of families who don't own physical media players anymore.

We've looked at renting/streaming a Ghibli movie several times before but were unable to. I suspect that they are missing out on a pretty big market.
A decentralized approach that doesn't depend on one corporate service remaining profitable (or one nonprofit remaining viable) would be great.

The Zot protocol https://zotlabs.org/page/zotlabs/home can do distributed event invitations but the leading implementation Hubzilla has horrendous UX and an unpalatable (PHP + JQuery) tech stack.
