Any form of social interaction involves this kind of ‘labor’. Some jobs more than others, but your distinction is complete nonsense. The DMV is just a poor example, it still involves the same ‘labor’, just arguably less, as the DMV has little incentive to care about their customers. But this relates only to the value the company is trying to provide, not the nature of the work.

Shrinking of the star simply makes it possible to come within the roche limit without being inside the star. The inspiral would happen due to separate processes e.g. friction as the star sheds its envelope or due to interactions between multiple planets.
> Niche or not “Disney won’t sell me content I want to buy” seems like a tough position for Disney to argue past.

I feel that is such an entitled attitude. Watching Disney+ is hardly some inalienable human right nor essential for survival. Why would anyone think their right to use a service, and cosume content, overrides Disneys well-established ownership?
Udemy has online courses for many software applications, including Excel and Premiere Pro. I don't know how good they are. I am sure there are other sources, as well.
For a lot of people I know, there’s more cost than just the subscription fee, there’s also buying equipment to support that streaming service.

It’s like people recommending I upgrade to Windows 10 when the machine I am using is barely capable of running Windows 7. It’s not just $10 a month, it’s also $1000 for a new computer to watch it on. Or a new TV which means buying new furniture since the current cabinet can’t hold anything larger than 30” and the smallest TV I can buy is 44”.

Then there’s streaming requiring 25Mbps when my Australian NBN struggles at 12Mbps.

Usually these systems require HDCP support, which theoretically allows verification of the whole chain, PC to HDMI cable to display; any "unapproved" devices in the middle would be detected and prevent display.

In practice, the HDCP master key was leaked years ago and it's pretty straight forward to get an HDCP stripper device and a capture card.
I don't think anyone wants to read it for its own sake though, rather its something that's been shared and in that context its annoying. Not to mention people aren't exactly interested in subscribing to countless content outlets.
>If you don't want to support a business that tries to force people to use their app by making the mobile web version horrible you don't have to.

There's no hypocrisy in using something while complaining that it's absolutely terrible. (Particularly if there isn't a real alternative; "don't ever open any link to any image hosted on imgur even though you'd prefer the person had hosted it somewhere else" is not reasonable.)
I've experienced the opposite case, got a flight suggestion by a booking agency, checked prices for the same flights directly at the airline, and they were higher.

There are several paragraphs that only serve to imply the narrative that the FBI sent him there and are covering it up.

> The FBI’s Confidential Human Source Policy Guide said a handler must give “an emergency communication plan” to a source traveling abroad.

> As an FBI source, Billy was required to report foreign travel, even vacations. The bureau has the authority to dispatch sources on foreign missions. It is one of the U.S. agencies responsible for disrupting terror cells abroad.

Since we're going over the FBI's rules and powers, the article should ask, does the FBI have the authority to block a source's vacations? That would be relevant.

There is zero concrete evidence presented that the FBI sent him to Russia. If there is any, that would support the premise that the FBI shares some responsibility for the result. But none has been presented.

Also, it's not really the FBI's role to show that they "care". Probably the people involved do care, as individuals and humans. I feel bad for the guy too, he sounds like he was just a bit lost in life. However, in terms of their jobs, they paid an adult to gather information online, which it seems he was pretty good at. Then he got a bee in his bonnet to go to a war zone (at the invitation of the FSB?) How are they supposed to manage that? That's next level. It sounds like they're doing their best to stay professional, considering the circumstances, and not make any public statements about his (apparently very poor) judgement. The statement that the FBI did not direct him to travel abroad says pretty much everything.
After spending 10 years at one company and suffering from not learning anything new but just as importantly salary compression, for the next 8 years, and 5 jobs, I learned the best way to make more money is to do Resume Driven Development and change jobs. While your market value goes up tremendously, HR departments insists on giving 3-4% raises to existing employees while being forced to bring in new employees at market rates.

This is the “secondary employment” market where HR policies aren’t optimized for in demand fields like software development. The immediate managers are usually helpless to do anything about it and see employees they spend time training leave for greener pastures. Being that is the reality, what other course is there but to find people you don’t have to train?
> They're also more likely to steal from you, hurt or harass other employees and more.

Not disagreeing with you here as I have zero experience with this, but in your experience are there any attributes that ex-cons typically exhibit better than the other employees?

How much say did Spain have in this though since the Spanish Protectorate was granted to them by France and France had decided to grant Morocco independence?
Hey first thing, is congrats!

Second is get with your financial planner, if you don't have one find one. They will help you set yourself up where all those answers become easy for you. And there are a lot of little headaches to work through, such as if you don't claim any income (employment) you need to establish different methods to use the banking/credit system. There are lots of solutions, including sort of claiming retired, but generally it is smarter to set up an LLC, use it as an investment vehicle and take money out through there, being either self-employed or employee so you can manage taxes etc.

But no one here can give you real advice without knowing all the details and even then it is usually specific advice based on what they have gone through. My best advice is find a good financial advisor and let them help you. Yes that does cost a little bit of money, but it isn't much all things considered. The best advice I ever got was when I was early 20's and got a small but still decent payout was to hire a financial advisor/planner so I didn't blow it all in the first year.

Just my 2 cents based on my experience and the advice I have gotten over the years. If you are under 40 and netted less than $10M you can't retire yet (at least not in kick back and coast forever way I think of when I think retire), if you are between 40-50 than $5-7M is a solid number but still not where you can just do whatever and not manage your finances fairly closely. Anything less than $5M, specifically if you have a family or plan to, you still need some form of a job to pay the everyday bills and keep your sanity. Anything in the 7 figures gives you a sense of security and a lot of flexibility. Last point, if you are married, calculate what happens if you divorce and see if you'd still be comfortable after giving up 50% basically -- not saying it would happen, but you should just do the math.
I see people saying it takes a few weeks to pick up a language, those people are programmers and not software engineers.

Also, this career advice shouldn't be considered advice, it's simply opinion.

Last time I moved I talked a little with the movers and a lot of them had been in jail before. The leader told me that there definitely is a problem with a lot of ex-cons having problems with authority, reliability and rules. I commend you for hiring them anyway. For a single business it's probably better to not hire any although this is a loss for the whole society.
Also remember that many great opportunities will not have as their only states litmus test the usage of VIM. Not even most people that prefer that environment would use it as a litmus.
Lying, just like "parallel construction".
With universal basic wage, I wonder if people would be interested in sorting soda cans at a recycling facility. I guess they'll have to pay people more, or automate it. Of course having to pay people more makes it easier to financially justify further automation. As I understand it, increasing automation reducing opportunities for laborers is one of the major arguments for universal basic income. It seems to me that universal basic income justifies itself by increasing automation. Is this loop the path to fully automated space communism?
Ask HN: Are there any companies still producing CRT computer monitors?
Gaming on a CRT with a high refresh rate is a fantastic experience. Unfortunately, most displays are getting a bit old and soft. I wonder: are there any companies still dedicated to producing new CRTs? I'd love to see a modern 1080p, 1440p, or even 2160p CRT produced in 2019.
Because the FTC only needs to look at it once for them to give you a big fine or put you out of business. They take time but they do get around to these things. I was watching an old taped documentary on YouTube, and when I looked up the products in the commercials a good number of them were taken down by the FTC.
Having had Disney as a client in a past life, I always assume they will go for the most draconian, despotic IP control imaginable...as a starting point.

Most states do offer a program to truly clean your slate, restricting access to your record to only law enforcement, but those programs have pretty strict requirements. People don't think you deserve a clean slate just because you managed to serve a jail sentence.

We incarcerate people because we have to do something and incarceration is something. Nobody thinks it's ideal, to force a bunch of criminals to hang out with only other criminals and expect their criminal tendencies to somehow go away. But it's not obvious what a better alternative would be.

My company once fired an intern after a month because the background check turned out bad. The guy was perfectly normal and it seems everybody regretted it but due to liability concerns there is a policy that ex-cons don't get hired.
I'm only now just wondering why (apparently - only looked at the first few search results) there isn't a vish shell....
And PCI DSS requires background checks. And HIPAA. SSAE16 / SOC technically doesn't, so far as I know, but it's going to end up in a company's policy due to (PCI | HIPAA | Insurance | Customer requirements | it was in the template) and therefore has to be enforced to pass audits.
Jealous of what? He earned 2 associate degrees and then spent a year and a half doing coding courses, and then got a part time job in IT after he got out, and then moved up to a full role.

The entire story is basically no different to any other person who works there way into IT other than he’s an ex-Con and in the US it’s hard for them to usually get jobs.
It is, but then I put a case on it and it looks like every other phone on the market from the front.
If you place the reservation ahead-of-time, it doesn't take that long at the desk (besides the line, if there is one). Sure, it could be faster, but I've rented plenty of cars from a lot of different companies (with City Rent-A-Car being my preference in SF, and Enterprise everywhere else) and it's pretty tolerable.

Hell, my first ever car rental (to go from DC to Harrisburg because that leg of my flight got cancelled) was a walk-in with Hertz, and the slowest part was picking out a car.

Re: getting to the car in the first place, just about every airport I've been to has a bunch of rental agencies onsite (either walkable or via a shuttle bus), and I suspect HSR stations would be no different.
Of course. Mavericks needs the swell but the location provides the geographic feature, a ramp which builds and slows the swell.

> Do prisons let prisoners contribute to free software?

No, I'd guess most prisoners don't have access to the internet, let alone a computer.

> There's a long history of having prisoners clean roads and make license plates.

That long history, at least in the United States, comes with a lot of baggage. The thirteenth amendment in the US Constitution forbids slavery except of prisoners, and many consider forced prison labor slavery. Prisoners have done things like clean roads, manufacture goods, work call centers, etc. In California, prisoners earn between $0.30 and $0.95 an hour before deductions.
By that logic Reddit does the same: horrible website that pushes users into installing the app.

I tend to correlate bad website with possibly bad app and I suspect others do too.
I'm not a lawyer, but if we look at the DMCA,

17 USC §1201 (A)(1)(a): "No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title."

No one is interested in perfect because the actual DRM is only a tiny sliver of the protection. The bulk of it is the threat of having to pay a huge settlement because you don't want to get the piss beaten out of you in court.
Christianity does not require insistence on "factual historicality of a particular set of events", or at least not disprovable ones. That's mostly a Western phenomena, to which American protestants seem particularly prone to the most extreme version of.

I think you can ultimately thank Thomas Aquinas for this movement. He was quite fond of a rational basis for God and repackaged the works of Aristotle for this end. But of course once you start down the road of adding rationalism to your religion then the whole mysticism of it can start to stand out to some. So some people started thinking it must be all literal and totally rational...

Eastern Orthodox Christianity still has no truck with that rationalism nonsense.
correct. I assume thats what gp meant by this

How exactly many games do (EDIT: typo) have DRM? AFAIK the answer is "many enough", I'm unable to give a concrete number but I do recall many games in my library that doesn't appear in a list of DRM-free games. I don't agree to your premise.

(To be clear, I do think DRM---so-called---is very bad in general. I accept DRMs for indie games only because DRMs have been already existed for games.)

Turning every site into a major SPA is the single biggest problem with webdev today. They should only be used for truly complex webapps that need real-time updates and interactivity.

Otherwise, like you said, it's just rebuilding everything that a capable server-side framework gives you to then run it in the browser with worse UX. I've consistently proven to my team that a server-rendered page with some optional JS on top (Vue is great for this) is 1000x better for users than a giant JS payload just to make API calls and render some HTML.

Good idea. I've looked at tensorflow approach for backward max pool [0]

They seem to be using a naive algorithm, scanning over the pool area and picking the first index whose value match the pooled max, so the bigger the kernel radius the slower it gets.

They deal with the tie problem by taking the index of first value that match the max value (with float32 that's an edge case that should almost never happen so it's a fine speedup).

My guess is it's probably possible to apply this constant time algorithm doing the same sort of approximation for the ties, but you also need to enrich the histograms so that in addition to the count it also store and update the last index associated with the count.

I also just noticed that the constant time algorithm hasn't been run for float values. It's not really a problem though because we can use some order preserving bit-tricks to convert float32 to UInt32 and then truncate to UInt16 [1].

I found out that in Denmark, drink containers can only be made from fresh plastic, or recycled plastic from drinks containers, or appropriate food grade plastic waste (eg from the food packaging factory).

The general plastic recycling is considered too contaminated to be used for food.

Knowing this, I give my bottles to the people who collect the deposits. (I don't wish to do it myself.)
Content piracy has long been about the exorbitant cost of acquiring content.

If you look at the cost of downloading a full, original quality Blu-Ray rip, then burning that to a dual-layer BD-R disc, you're looking at an hour to torrent plus up to $10 for a dual-layer recordable disc. Compare that to a store-bought copy that's $7.88 and comes with both Blu-Ray and DVD copies, and it's no contest.

Make that store-bought copy $49.95 (thanks, Marvel) and it makes piracy attractive. Add terrible DRM on top and you GUARANTEE piracy, because you're being hostile to people that have actually bought your movie.

If DRM had never been invented, piracy would only be about 5% worse, and your paying customers wouldn't be cursing your existence... but the media companies are too stupid to realize that.
You're right - it is indeed a serif font, which I've seen many times (but never considered using it as my daily driver).
The Google Home mini and Google Home Max have physical sliding mic mute toggles. The original Google Home has a physical momentary mic mute switch (click to disable, click to enable). The Amazon Echo also has a similar mic mute switch.

Punishment is much harsher in the US and a lot of mentally ill people don't get treated but go to jail. also in general there is much less support for people at risk. I assume that people in the US on average aren't worse than people in other countries tries so to me it seems that there is a problem with policies in the US causing higher crime rates.

Granted I don’t have kids, but my experience with families who have kids and home automation is that you have to be better at Internet security than your kids or they end up controlling everything in ways you don’t really want.

And then there’s the vulnerabilities: if you can remotely control your home, who else can?

I am not a security expert. My hobby is playing computer games about spaceships. I don’t get a thrill or a sense of satisfaction from finding and closing security holes in my personal networks.

From my perspective the best place for home automation devices is as napkin sketches on the design room floor.

TypeScript is perfectly this. (And other gradually typed solutions; TS is simply the most popular one.)

You have the madness of thousand of developers flinging code at the universe due to the easiness of browsers, JS, and npm.

This results in great speed, but not great quality.

When your project/company now wants quality, you keep your code but transition to types. (In OSS space, Angular and Yarn projects have both done JS => TS migrations of some form.)
It would be good when trying to determine if there's a build-up of plaque anywhere in a person's arteries and thus at risk of many different cardio-vascular diseases.

They use special dyes injected into arteries to facilitate seeing them. Similar things are done for examining the gastrointestinal tract of those who might have cancers somewhere in it.

You might also want to see if cancers have metastasized to other parts of the body to determine the extent of the disease.
Because in one case the one selling the milk gets money to invest into providing more milk, and in the other case said seller does not (or gets less of it).

If those five gallons are to be distributed by need, then that difference in return needs accounted for as well (i.e. the government doing the redistribution should also be putting resources into improving milk production to avoid that situation in the future).
