I, as a member of the public, am glad you don't get to decide, with your own judgement, what is and isn't safe to do around an airport in this specific case. Honestly, I wish more laws could be enforced this way.

Your judgement, in aggregate, can safely be assumed to suck, by me, someone who doesn't know you. It may not actually suck, but in situations where you can clearly and obviously harm me (hitting a plane with your drone), I don't want you to have any choices in the matter. Sorry, but others have ruined the fun for both of us.

Whenever these topics come up, the comment section is full of people advocating for no limits based solely on slipper slope arguments: who is going to determine what is politcal? Who is going to determine what is true?

But we all life with boundaries and we cope just fine. Why should this street in front of my house have a 35 MPH speed limit? What is special about 35? Why not 36? Why not 34? Who is to say that one is better than the other, so let's not try and all and let everyone pick their own speed.

Just as it would be possible, but stupid, to invoke slippery slopes to argue there should be no speed limits, invoking slippery slopes to argue against any regulation is a cop-out. Why not advance a real argument vs just arguing picking the optimal boundary is impossible?
freedom of expression is different from freedom to pay to amplify the expression.

Cover versions can always be made under a compulsory license; you have to pay the songwriter, but they can't say no.

So recording a version with a separate vocal track is 100% doable for any song.

However, to actually use it in Karaoke, it's no longer just a cover; even though it's just the words that are shown along with it, it's part of a larger work, so you need the same sort of license you would need for using it in e.g. a TV ad, and that needs to be negotiated with the copyright owner.

[edit]

For more details google "mechanical license" and "synchronization license"; the first is the "I want to record a cover" and the second is what you would need for using in karaoke.

> Why not? What's wrong with modifying your infotainment system for example?

A lot of infotainment systems lock out some features when the car is moving. For example, watching a DVD on the dashboard screen of a moving car is not normally possible. People share workarounds for that kind of thing on car enthusiast forums.

If someone removed restrictions from their infotainment system, and they were involved in an accident while using that system, it might come up if the matter went to court.
I would agree that’s true for most smaller subreddits, but I'm pretty sure the Reddit admins have a non-trivial amount of interaction with the mods of the largest and most central subreddits. I'd also agree that if this went before a court, I would expect it to find that the mods did not qualify, but the fact that the law seems vague enough to require clarification by a court is itself a problem.

There is a fuzzy difference between how sites Reddit and Stack Exchange operate, but if Stack Exchange is violating labor laws, what change to Reddit might move it across that fuzzy line? It puts a site like Reddit in an odd position where involving themselves more directly in the moderation of their own site, in terms of requirements for subreddits and mods, tools or directions/expectations for how communities are moderated, etc, could move them into a position of violating those laws.
Ask HN: iOS Recipe Managers
Which recipe manager app on iOS do you use? Are there any good ones that you use which are not too expensive?

I'm looking for one which should ideally have:

- sync across all devices (iOS and MacOS)
- simple manual adding of recipes (I want to add non-english recipes, so automatic parsing from web probably won't work in my language)
- tagging or some kind of categorisation (type of ingredients, type of meal, etc.)
- advanced search based on tags/categories
- a shopping list would be nice too

Am I maybe missing any good features? Are there other features that you use regularly which I should be aware of?

Thanks!
Obviously it doesn’t. Apple refusing to support and improve previous gens due to commercial considerations is what we are talking about. Seems like the MO has changed?
Sure outright lying in a way that can put someone in danger (e.g. printing false instruction on medical drug) should not be allowed.
The question is what should be the mechanism to do that. One way is to use courts, where everyone will get a fair hearing, rules will be the same for everybody, and won't change often. Another is to use Facebook moderators as judges, which does not seem to be a very promising path.
While you may not believe they made the best design choice, there's nothing functionally wrong about the choice they made. According to the docs, their method should work just the same. So I don't think it's fair to say that's the cause of the bug.
I think it is about the thinking process of the person, I assume you are >35, you grew up at a time that people were think about the performance more than the readability, that was the bottleneck back then.

Now that you have bigger systems and more complex requirements and cheap high performance computing, the balance is tipped.

And because python is (almost) on the opposite side of the spectrum for your thinking process, you might have a harder time wrapping your head around why it does something in a particular way.

I think this is also true for Haskell evangelists over here also, I think they started acquiring the programming mindset through advanced math(in my experience most have PhDs) etc., so haskell fits the way they solve a problem in their head the best.

For me personally it is Python, the delay between solving a problem and having it translated to python in my head is slim. You probably feel the same way about your own favourite programming language, because it is the tool that makes you most productive with the least effort.

Tabs are fine and spaces are fine, but mixing tabs and spaces for indentation is a recipe for disaster, because different environments and tools have a different tab width setting -- as a result, "printing a file and OCRing it" (which people do, e.g. when typing code shown somewhere else) can result in legal but semantically very different programs looking the same. That's why you shouldn't use tabs on code that is ever edited/viewed by more than one person[0], and why you should always use python with -tt mode.

Nim takes a practical approach by banning tabs altogether; The "#?" hack you suggest just shows another great Nim feature - source code filters are standardized; You don't need a preprocessor/lex/yacc/re2c/swig with its own driver/makefile; it's all well documented and tracked within your Nim environment.

Yeah I agree with non-entity. I recommend maybe finding some projects you're interested in USING, creating a new project, and then hopefully contribute any bugfixes you can manage to find. I find just opening up a good bug report is a good place to start and feel out the developer community and culture around a project.
I generally comprehend "grandstanding" in the common language to not only be seeking attention but to misrepresent false or unimportant information for the sake of gaining that attention. Does my definition mesh with yours or how would you find that quote to be misrepresenting a problem in society?

While her question could seem to be reductive, I think it's accurately reducing the question to a point where the answer is easily approachable to most people and, while often time the actual advertisements less obvious lies in practice, a lot of facebook advertisements are knowingly spreading falsehoods and that is hurting the political dialog.

> I have already stated my general judgement for when the police went wrong - escalating into causing some serious public safety hazards.

The high-speed chase already appears to meet your criterion. So are you suggesting, that the Police should have not escalated and pursued the high-speed shoplifter?

Escalating to a high-speed pursuit innately increases the risk: the police may crash into innocent civilians. The criminal may crash into innocents. Etc. etc.

So that's why I'm asking: what is the correct decision, in your opinion, when a criminal floors it and reaches 90 mph in an attempt to evade officers? Should the officers just let them go?

---------

If the pursuit was "morally correct" by your judgement, then the next point of escalation was when the criminal started to shoot his handgun at the Police. Should the Police stand-down now that gunfire is involved? Stray bullets have a high chance of harming innocent civilians (even if the criminal isn't intending to kill someone, the risk remains).

Should the officers let the criminal go at this point?

Etc. etc. There's a series of decisions here which make up the story. I'm trying to figure out how your point of view lines up to the reality of the case.

We all can agree that deescalation should be prioritized. But we have a realistic case here. How would you have de-escalated the situation? Furthermore, we have the benefit of analyzing this from the safety of our desks, with all known information. So surely you can come up with a better decision with careful analysis, compared to an Officer who has to make a decision on the spot.

For everyone asking why Twitter or Facebook should treat ads differently to TV. There are some huge differences between the economics of the platforms that I haven't seen anyone mention.

Each TV station has a limited number of ad-seconds they can allocate per day. Because ad-seconds are scarce, prices are expensive, so you get a small number of expensive ads.

OTOH, Facebook can support a practically unlimited number of ads, shown to different users, changing as people scroll.

It is _much_ easier to fact-check or apply human judgement to a small number of TV ads than to millions of social media ads.

Disclaimer: I don't work in the ad industry, I know nothing about this. I just haven't seen anyone talk about the difference in scale here.

It sounds like its specific to secure text fields, which I assume is why it doesn't interfere with tweeting. But thats a fair question about setting those up before login. My guess is those registrations aren't happening at the login VC level, or maybe in some global container VC. But I don't think that matters too much, because there are certainly use cases where you might want to show a secure text field even when logged in and you want shortcuts registered.

The answer is simple. Initiate a high speed chase directly to the homes of your local judges and see how they like it when the police destroy their homes.
It's hard to imagine what this gesture is meant to solve. Political ads are far more innocuous that the everyday posts of its users, which divide, cement and sway people's opinions and thoughts much more forcefully. I'm not saying ban those, but just saying you're not going to run ads, when that's the least of any problem's solution, is kind of superficial.
I think the distinction is very clear between paying for telephone service to call your friends and family and running an ad campaign.
In 2018, Britain refused to extradite a guy to the US because he would have been held in either this prison or it's Brooklyn equivalent (the one where prisoners were left without heat or electricity in the storm this year), and they said it was too likely that he would commit suicide given the terrible conditions and lack of care (https://gothamist.com/news/prisoners-endure-a-nightmare-gula...). Guards at this prison have been (recently!) convicted of raping or beating inmates. A few years ago a guy was beaten to death and the jail said he'd overdosed - the footage of that has never been seen either, the family is still suing the jail.

Everyone who cared knew that this prison was a hellhole with poor oversight and poor control, long before Eptstein came near it. Nobody in American politics gives a shit that people facing federal charges are (according to the UN) routinely tortured by being held here. The DoJ is "investigating" conditions at these prisons, but since they are also running them, nobody expects much. (https://theintercept.com/2019/02/09/mdc-brooklyn-justice-dep...)

The sheer ignorance that drives most of the reaction to Epstein's death is awful. Maybe a little of this righteous outrage could get spent on actually making these prisons the well-run, safe facilities people think they are, but I doubt it will be.
