I'm don't buy into conspiracy theories and am a firm advocate for Hanlon's razor but this story is really hard to swallow. This is the passage from the relevant Wikipedia article:

> The jail informed the Justice Department, when Epstein was placed in the special housing unit, that he would have a cellmate and that a guard would look into the cell every 30 minutes. These procedures were not followed on the night he died.[4] On August 9, Epstein's cellmate was transferred out, and no new replacement cellmate was brought in. Later in the evening, in violation of the jail's normal procedure, Epstein was not checked every 30 minutes.[4] The two guards who were assigned to check his cell overnight fell asleep for about three hours.[21] Two cameras in front of Epstein's cell also malfunctioned that night.[5]

Also assuming it's true one might expect, given the gravitas of this case, that the multiple people responsible for such gross negligence would be prosecuted and brought to light and justice.
But would you be willing to pay 10x or 20x the cost of a "slow" conventional airline ticket for it? The fuel costs may be low by space launch standards, but they'll be huge by commercial airline standards.
Is 2.5km a day really hardly biking at all? When you consider the fact that Dutch cities are so compact and densely populated, 2.5km of biking gets you a whole lot further than it would in the US, where there is little bike infrastructure and you might need to drive 20 minutes just to get to the grocery store.

I wonder what other national biking averages are? Probably much lower than the Dutch national average.

If Elixir wasn’t an option for me, Clojure would be my next option. Clojure seems like it has a similar philosophy, and builds on a dynamic immutable core.

That being said I like writing code that can feel “done”. No “I wish I could refactor this object hierarchy to make it easier to use, etc” notions in the back of my mind. Not every piece of code is like that, but enough.
You still do it within the context of existing laws. Democracies rely on leadership by majority so you have to operate within that system.

If it worked the way you imply what would be the limit to what you can justify with “self determination”?
Just like programming.

An operating system provide a few set of basic services to applications, but the linux kernel is some gazillion lines of code, because it has to work with reality

I've done both and only use "large" monitors now. Be it ultrawide or large high resolution monitors... I can't stand the bezels and turning my neck larger distances/more often always bothered me. I think this is just one of those personal preferences things though.
I do not buy the argument that unilateral secession is clearly forbidden in the US and I don't think the American Civil War settled that point. The Confederates stood a decent legal chance to secede from the Union. It was a constitution crisis. Instead the Confederates choose to throw constitutional avenues away and engage in a war of aggression against the North. The South didn't need to raise armies and launch an attack on Fort Sumter. However personally I'm grateful for their gross incompetence both in starting the war and their conduct throughout the war because it brought about the end of Chattel Slavery in North America.

Furthermore I would argue there is a large legal and ethical difference between:

1/ a largely peaceful movement for secession which is suppressed and then responds with riots

2. and a landed gentry rising up in open war and invasion because they lost an presidential election and they want to preserve their right to strip freedom from their countrymen.

Retail videos are garbage 99% of the time.

You aren't going to get reliable or useable prints from the scene of a retail store.

Even if you did, you have to have a match in AFIS for them to be useful.

Even if you do, congrats, you know the guy exists, his name, and social. Now you just have to find him before he robs someone else at gunpoint, and/or ends up killing someone.

Every non-tiny police department has a pursuit policy. It tends to be some form of one of the following:

1. Only pursue if the danger of the pursuit is less than the danger of this guy to society. Consider the crime, how easily we can find this guy, current traffic conditions, weather, etc. Guy robber a liquor store and is going 100mph on a well lit, perfectly straight 5 lane highway at 1am on a Wednesday with no other traffic? Get em. Same guy is going 100mph through a residential as the school busses are about to drop off kids? Terminate pursuit. Sadly, it is never that cut and dry

2. Don't pursue unless it was a murder/attempted murder, and the conditions are safe for it.

3. Don't pursue.

#3 Works amazing for about 5 years. Somewhere 5-10 years later, the local gangs and career criminals learn that if they just drive fast enough to endanger lives, the cops will leave them alone. State police departments, which usually spend more time on highways, tend to have a policy closer to #1. Because of this, they will often assist local agencies that have a policy of #2 or #3, when they are doing stuff that they expect a vehicle pursuit may ensue.

Someone usually brings up "Oh, well if you have the license plate why not just arrest them later." Because it doesn't work that way. You see a masked guy rob a store, jump in a car, and peel out of there at 1am, and don't pursue? If you run the tag, go to the registered house at 1:30am, find the warm vehicle in the driveway, knock on the door, registered owner can answer, and will tell you that a lot of people have keys to his car, he doesn't know anything, he was home asleep.

And theres not a thing you can do about it. The only way you can prove it was him was if you saw the driver and are 100% sure its that guy, or you convince him to talk himself into getting caught in a lie, or give up his cellphone, or some other dumb decision.
unfork appears to be unique in that it creates the illusion of mapping the target process's memory into the source. This is achieved through the use of userfaultfd, which allows a Linux process to mark memory as missing, to receive notifications when other threads attempt to access missing memory, and to provide the contents of that memory in response to such faults. This mechanism is quite powerful and flexible, and Windows does not have a direct equivalent of this.

The closest equivalent I can think of in Windows would be to mark pages as no-access and use vectored exception handling to trap access faults. During a fault, the exception handler would fill in the page (e.g. via ReadProcessMemory) and flip the page protection to read or read/write.

Since you wouldn't want to flip the page protection until after the memory had been updated, you would probably have to used a pagefile-backed section to update the memory at a separate virtual address with independent page protections. And unlike the userfaultfd approach, this mechanism would not help for cases where the mirrored memory was being passed to a syscall.

I think Linux could do this too, via a signal handler, but AFAIK the Linux memory manager does not efficiently support per-page access protection (unlike Windows). In the worst case, each page would get its own vma structure in the kernel, which would be quite expensive. So absent userfaultfd, the Windows memory manager probably has the edge.

I agree that armed robbery is not shoplifting and shouldn't be portrayed as such. But I don't see how that hypothetical changes things; from the article timeline, the boy had left the house before the cops even got there. It's not like he decided to let him leave due to the bombardments.
Espressif is planning a RISCV based ESP32 upgrade, it'll probably will have Bluetooth. No schedule yet.
Can't you spoof location data?
Not really. The newer open versions still don't match Oracle JDK 8. Wanna bundle a JVM with your app so your users don't have to worry about the Java runtime? Well, you can't do that anymore. Wanna use JavaFX? You have to jump to Java 11 and hope your dependencies don't fail with module packaging errors. Do you use Scala? GLHF.

Standing still in the Java ecosystem is fine. Keeping on with the advances is painful and exhausting. The Java tech stack is awesome when it works, but to solve issues you have to go so deep into the tech stack that I'm starting to think it just can't be done unless you're at least a mid-sized company with JVM specialists on the payroll. Not developers, but systems people.
I think you somewhat restated the thesis of the article.
What if it just was a suicide?

If he had dirt on people would he not arrange so it would be sent out in case of his death? Especially if there was a failed murder attempt just weeks before?

And what stops the victims of naming names now? And what would have stopped Epstein of just not talking and just denying?

I think the trick with social progress is not in getting people to be aware of a shocking problem, any shocking problem, it's what to do with that energy once it exists.

Which is why Greanpeace and PETA are a joke, but the Nature Conservancy, EFF, and the ASPCA are less so.

Almost anyone can learn to piss people off. We often call them 'assholes'. Turning that energy to something requires leadership.
"retener" is indeed ambiguous, but in the sentence right before that paragraph they use "retenga" as "to withhold":

So I'm inclined to believe that the translation is correct.

Yeah you’re right. I just wonder if they’re retiring it or if they’ll push out a new model for the holiday season —it’s getting close to the time they either release or miss out on the sales.
I doubt their numbers are correct. They've fudged them in the past, giving area numbers for the smallest configuration, but performance number for a ridiculously large chip.

Lots of CPAN stuff is just plain Perl code, so the, "it just works" keeps working, too. It's to the point where a lot of "competing" Perl modules that try to solve the same problem have similar/same API's (but under the hood, rely on different things) - sometimes that is to solve the, "Well, the more popular choice went off and did something interesting in $VERSION+1, but we like the old way"

Also, if you desperately need an older version, you can usually install that older version rather than the newest.

Anyways, there's things you can do. I still work on code I started in my dorm room (in the 90's). Cranky CPAN modules aren't too big of a problem.
> What we really need is a tool that runs your Python 2 code, records types and other dynamic manipulations, and then produce Python 3 code. But I'm not aware of such a tool.

That's a great idea, but it sounds pretty intense to implement. I ended up becoming addicted to ML-family languages pretty early (Scala, F#, OCaml, Rust) for a variety of reasons, but I never fully grasped how much strong/static types help for refactoring until I tried refactoring some Ruby code. I can't imagine trying to write an automated tool for the task.

> I'm don't buy into conspiracy theories

I do. How many "conspiracy theories" have we lived through in tech? I can name two right off the top of my head: prism and carnivore.

Whenever there's an overwhelming chorus of "that's conspiracy theory!" what I hear is "don't look too closely! You might find something!"
I've looked at the graphs, they may be right, but it doesn't feel right.

Right now, I am living in a city and working from home, so the 1.5km / day figure seems to apply to me.

But when I was in school, many many moons ago, the roundtrip to school was 14km and I had a newspaper delivery round adding up to about 20km.

So basically as a teen, I did 20km a day, about 6 days a week.

As a middle-class person, when I talk to other middle-class people, many make decisions/vote like they are going to be wealthy some day. Actively arguing against their own interests out of this weird fear that it would someday bite them when it's their wealth being taxed etc.

one of the best protections the wealthy have in the US is the poor and middle class voting based on an imagined and unlikely future for themselves.

Returns to venture investments in biotech have outperformed tech in recent years, some new drugs are generating $5-10B within a few years of launch, and biopharma is the second biggest subsector of VC after software

Most people haven't heard of the top biotech VCs and companies because they don't blog or do podcasts but they are very good at what they do

And as another commenter said, some of these companies develop drugs that give people with cancer or infants with life threatening genetic disease many more years of healthy life and turn these conditions from death sentences to manageable chronic diseases
This sounds like you are deliberately building an echo chamber. Sure, I understand you don't want random voting to be rewarded, but this will actively punish people who simply prefer a different aesthetic than the majority.
Agreed. With triple monitors, it was annoying that I had to move my head back and forth. My preference so far has been with dual monitors. How about productivity? About the same?

I don't think people are "timing" their cars, and are instead driving at "car-lengths" worth of distance between the person in front of them

If you instead assume 1-car lengths worth of distance at both 36mph and 18mph, the road capacity shrinks dramatically between the two speeds.
A lot of people are skeptical of the climate change movement because they don’t want to change their behaviors or feel guilt about what they have personally done to contribute to it. That’s 100% it. Full stop.

We should be skeptical of any ways to address climate change that rely on technology and require very little behavior change.

Burning fossil fuels does more than just warm the planet, so trying to stop the planet from warming through some far out means wouldn’t address these other huge issues. Also, the easiest path to haunting climate change is to literally stop doing the damaging things.
Why do you think he would witness against anyone? He didn't do that last time as far as I know.

And IF people thought he had dirt on people then I would assume he would at least have a basic dead mans switch that would send out the dirt to the press in case of death; to prevent assassinations. Especially if there was an earlier attempt.
I was recently staying with a friend in a suburb of Amsterdam. One night we decided to go to dinner. She has three kids and I have two. She piled four of the five kids onto her bike (it had a basket for kids) and headed over. My wife and I and the baby rode in my car. She only got there one minute after me despite it being a few miles away.

I think the reason is because she was able to take the inside passages that are only for bikes, so her trip was much shorter than mine.

So not only are their buildings close together, but they are built around walking/bikes, such that those modes of transit are actually shorter.

I've used both, and I prefer using multiple monitors over the ultrawides. I've found that multiple monitors gives me much more flexibility, as I can orient them in a manner that's most conducive to the task at hand (for instance, being able to aim one monitor towards visitors to show them things).

But, honestly, my preference is a slight one -- if I have to use an ultrawide instead, that's actually fine.

The latest was the satanic child abuse thing from the 80s that was just un-debunked from the Finders release.

We have have reached the point where it's worth looking at the "debunked" conspiracy theories with a new, critical eye.. which is all kinds of disturbing.

I wonder what the average trip is for Americans in large cities. For me in Brooklyn, it's about 4 miles to my office in Manhattan. Even in an ideal world with no cars, I still wouldn't really be able to bike to work (in terms of my desire to bike that far). If I'm going out to eat in my neighborhood, it's much easier and safer to just walk up to about a mile. So, there's not really much use for me to bike anywhere other than purely for recreation. Maybe I'd bike between a mile and four miles, I'm not sure. But it definitely would be my least-used form of transportation.

Obviously this is anecdotal, but I am skeptical how useful a focus on bike lanes will be to the general public in American cities as compared to things like buses.
Ask HN: What's the best way to find and collaborate in open source projects?

Also, I imagine flight characteristics will change dramatically with a 100g battery. Heavier payload, same motors, doesn't bode well. May as well get a real drone rather than use the 100g battery.

But for toy drones, the 50g battery is fine. Especially since that pack lets you carry 3 of them. Plus I'm sure the next generation will be lighter still with still greater flight time. And the generation after that. Etc.

Future seems pretty bright for these "family pictures" type drones. But they aren't competitive with the big boys for certain use cases right now.
Your list of important-making features is dominated by a modern mindset. In the ancient world, ability to wage war was an important -- if not the important -- feature of many civilizations. Rome, Greece, Persia, Carthage, everybody was obsessed with it.

Looking at purely economics or modern cultural relevance is anachronistic.
I hear you. I was denied all SSDI etc after years of fighting. Credits expired entirely now. I am "too poor" for a subsidized ACA plan. If I was a little MORE poor I could get one but you know how it is balancing things as one change cuts you off of another needed thing. You cannot win.

I've been trying to get out (back out) for a long time. It always went under because of the my health getting worse and family bailing from any support as a result, so I couldn't maintain residency another way. If everything that's happened to me had happened in a country with social systems, which likely wouldn't have since the surgeries that disabled me were profit driven and unneeded, I would at least have a chance to live. I want to live. I am not some emo woe-is-me case. There is just nothing but closed doors in front of me and the place I am now in is closing to me as well. The ONE time in all these years one DID open thanks to someone kind, more went wrong with health and family and I couldn't get through it before it shut. Your life shouldn't depend on one lucky chance from a stranger.
