Well, you need some way to switch between different variants of Jagoust in the first setup too? And if everything is so well integrated (w/o bash-scripts and all...), just name Jagoust ;).

Noone forces people to use virtualenvs with "snek"/Python. They can always install python somewhere and "pip install" packages into the installation hierarchy, switching around different hierarchies with bash-scripts (and now have a look what all the other interactive environments do...).
Edit: Ahh my bad, I jumped to the conclusion of this being a concentration camp reference. It was a bit of a stretch admittedly.
Yes, and together with that, I recommend putting all state in the distributed database (or distributed file storage for large blobs). This allows you to gracefully handle crashes, stop and restart servers, etc. because you don’t lose any state in the process.
They very well might. But there are specific laws about speech used primarily for advertising, compared to say, entertainment.

For what it's worth, I think the case itself is weak.

Specifically, they are trying to (a) spam you with Netflix options to find some Netflix content that you will get hooked on so you stop looking for non-Netflix content, and (b) give you the appearance of inifinite available content by making the content you haven't watched look different every time you see the cover image. The mistake is in breaking the illusion by also rotating the cover look of content you've already watched.
When I first saw the headline, I thought this was the common (but reprehensible) pattern where teachers were taking credit for their student's ideas.

I would actually argue it does improve security since you're spending more time on the people who have a higher probability of being a terrorist versus those that don't.

What doesn't improve security is just random screening where you're frisking 4-year olds and senior citizens and letting the adult males walk on by.
tbh I would not have leapt to assume that was a Hitler reference. Germany is indeed famous for its factories.
Giving & taking back photos & camera access is pain in the ass.

Apple already solved this exact issue with location, where you can grant it for one time only and be re-asked next time.

Hope they use the same mechanics with camera & photos.
Jeff Bezos wanted this (though unsure if it was his idea) for the original Amazon Echo. The "mute" button was originally transparent, revealing the circuitry of the switch, enabling users to visually verify that the circuitry of the button severed the microphone in order to power the red mute LED.

I don't think it's that nobody _likes_ the idea, I think the problem is that very few people really care. You see this in products everywhere. Rough edges sacrificing the user experience which could be technically solved but are punted in favor of More Important Things.
If Magic Leaps most expensive product is ~$3,300... Why didn't they win the contract over Microsoft's $4,800 product? B/c Magic Leaps contract for selling to the DOD was higher than that the products listed on their site.

That's why the military ends up buying hammers for $1000 when you could pick up a higher quality one for $10 from your local hardware store.
In order to sell insurance (basically any type) to people in say New York, you need the to follow the insurance laws of that state. This will have all sorts of weird paperwork and rules that are different from any other state in the country.

Having to jump through all those hoops will mean you need a few dozen employees minimum dedicated to compliance in that state etc.

But we can overcome that by having the federal government regulate interstate insurance, likely making these companies only needing to comply to the rules of their home state, or by having states set up agreements to allow out of state insurers sell under the rules of the other state.

Only a few states currently do that. Even then nobody is using this ability to sell health insurance interstate. And the reason why is:

You also need to develop a network in the other state, which can be a significant factor in costs. There is no way that you will get hospitals and doctors offices in New York to accept the same small amounts that you can get hospitals and doctors offices to accept in some low cost of living flyover state.

Of course if you do agree to the higher prices that New York providers would charge, well now your average costs have shot up, so you need to raise your rates, making your cheap insurance not as cheap anymore.
It's unfortunate that this is a reasonable question. I've been surprised to learn how conditional being treated like a human being really is (location, citizenship, etc.). It would be my preference for my country to treat all people kindly, fairly, equally.
Conducting Better Business with Cadence
>The fact check would be "false" or at least "unproven"

It's listed as "unproven" so I don't see what your complaint is. They acknowledge that the specific claim has no evidence behind it but that there are, in fact, other claims that have been similarly made that do have truth to them. "False" is not the same thing as "unproven" and there's nothing that definitively proves the claim as false while, at the same time, there is evidence for other similar claims.

Your responses suggest that you're not evaluating this in good faith.
Israel profiles like crazy and it works well. When I was traveling through there, I got a lot more questions. It just makes sense. A lone adult males traveling versus an Israel senior citizen.

Edit: Oops. Fixed a use of "probable cause" where I meant "reasonable suspicion".

IANAL, but my rough impression from the opinion is kinda. It seems like the reasonable suspicion can emerge entirely from the interaction itself, but that it should be based facts/reasons the agent(s) can articulate.

I found the section titled "7. Reasonable Suspicion, not Probable Cause, Applies to Both Such Searches" on pages 33-38 of the actual opinion (embedded on https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/alasaad-v-mcaleenan-opin...) provided good background on this.
Richard Posner from the 7th circuit said something like this: (a) decide which way one wants to rule (b) find the relevant reasoning to effect (a).

What we are told is the other way around, a fiction: Reasoning drives the decisions.

Sure, judges can't decide arbitrarily. They have a range of reasonings, a set of outcomes, along with prevailing political/intellectual/economic winds. Just pick an appropriate combination.
So if I don't see the Camera settings, it means Facebook hasn't been using them?
It’s ultimately up to us as a society whether we want these restrictions codified into law or not. Over-reliance on a patchwork of precedents and prosecutorial discretion is a path to an unpredictable and unjust legal system.

It’s common practice for the online video rentals (many different providers including Google and Amazon) to charge more for HD. In reality the marginal cost of providing digital content is almost zero, so there is never going to be “cost-plus” pricing. They are always going to charge whatever the market will bear. Price discrimination allows more value-conscious customers to get content at a lower price than they would otherwise.
Anyone have recommendations for a simple text-based flowchart specification format? Something that a human can read and easily understand in plaintext, but can also be rendered as a graphic?

The current solutions we have at my work are extremely difficult to use with VCS.

I've looked at Mermaid [0], but it is pretty limiting in its feature set.

I typically use draw.io/mxGraph [1] when I'm making diagrams and flowcharts, but the XML-based file format is pretty overwhelming for humans to read.

> By your logic, memory access takes time Ω(n^(1/3)) because memory cells need to occupy physical space and we live in a three-dimensional reality, so the time to access a memory cell must necessarily increase with the physical distance to that memory cell.

The issue was about space complexity, not time complexity. Very large numbers take more space than smaller numbers.
Wow. That is interesting. I haven't used ESPN's streaming platform in about a year (since they did that switch and stopped including streaming in cable packages). But I used to stream European Soccer games on my second monitor at work virtually every day. My work internet was maybe 75 mbps and it worked fine.
I can confirm this as well and my experience was circa 2009. The two cases where a) parent(s) or other close family were researchers or b) Non-researcher parent leveraged network to get some menial job (washing dishes) and in exchange they get listed somewhere in the research.
If you make that argument then the customs officers are also NOT on US soil and have no authority to search phones (or do anything) at all
Clearly parent is not talking about children born in USA, so your second point is not relevant. Your first point is just a restatement of parent.
That is complete and utter nonsense. The version of the claim that's being fact-checked is the one that's shown in the article. Again, unless you have some evidence to suggest that that's been changed nefariously, your criticism is completely without merit.
> line in the sand that they constantly toe

Isn't the problem the binary consequence, complete removal or completely left alone?

Instead, a continuous incentive gradient can push people away from the line. For example, comments on HN and Ars Technica that are downvoted are displayed grayed-out so they're harder to read and more likely to be skipped over when skimming; on Ars Technica, if a comment is sufficiently downvoted, its contents are collapsed into a stub, and you have to click the expand button to read it.

Besides pushing people away from the line, another advantage of a continuous incentive gradient instead of a discrete punishment is that because the stakes are lower, subjective disagreements are less divisive. If a comment straddles the line of violating the rules, and what's at stake is whether the comment is removed or shown, then community members will argue much more vehemently with each other and with mods than if what's at stake is whether the comment should be more or less gray, or whether the comment should be completely removed or merely collapsed.

This follows logically, in my opinion, from the idea that the federal government is solely responsible for matters of immigration law. You don't want to create a patchwork of different rules in different states based on presence granted and retracted at the sole discretion of the federal government. Once you're on US soil, you're largely treated the same as anyone else on US soil (or at least through the same framework), and that makes sense. If you should be removed, that's up to the Feds. To the extent you're not, you should be treated consistently.

You are of course correct that the rules do not apply evenly for immigrants and nonimmigrants, especially since nonimmigrants convicted of a crime are largely seen out as soon as their sentence is served. The same isn't true of immigrants.

Mostly.

This looks increadibly exciting. What's the story around what happens after training/validation? I can't see anything on your site specific to this - do you currently (or plan to) offer anything to help track or version model "releases"?
Frankly, I don't see a problem with this if it is done consciously rather than automatically. *

Usually, I'm interested in currency not recency. If, say, a technical article was written in 2015, I don't exactly care that it was written in 2015 but do care very much whether it's outdated today or not. APIs change, etc. If the blogger has re-dated the article, that suggests they believe it is still current, which is useful information to me.

(* - Caveat: no, I've never redated a blog article myself. But I am only a very infrequent blogger anyway.)
It depends on how the candidate treats it, and it definitely warms my heart when I get actually useful feedback from failed interviews. Though I definitely understand it isn't sustainable for a company to do that, since for every reasonable person, there would be 10 who would argue to death why the interviewer was wrong.

Surprisingly enough, one of the places I least expected to get useful feedback from wasn't some small informal start-up, but a fintech giant Citadel. I already had a feeling about my weaknesses that led to failing their onsite, but their rejection email (with the feedback) helped me way more than that. Not only they pointed out those specific things I knew about already, they also pointed out a few others that I missed (that were all true) and gave me actually something useful to work with. Just wanted to express my gratitude for that, because I definitely (at least partially) attribute my improvement in those areas to that email.
As is common in the United States, we have a number of pseudo-monopolies on certain things that are run by mismanaged “nonprofits”. In this case that’s the College Board and the ETS.
They obviously needed to get one built in Europe sooner rather than later to boost marketshare there and stay ahead of demand without needing to ship from China or the US, but why Berlin? Does anyone know if they got subsidies out of it?
Are your microservices too chatty?
The real problem is something that a Daylight/Standard time shift can't really fix anyway. If you are far enough north (and it's really only north, because there isn't that much population in comparable latitudes south), you're going to have a wild differential between the length of the day in winter and in summer. In a month, I'll be down to about eight hours of daylight, and in June, I have sixteen hours. That's tough, and there isn't really any way around it, short of bagging the rigid clock-bound schedule that the modern world runs on and reverting, and I don't hold out any hope of that ever happening.

So you just have to trudge along and stock up on Vitamin D supplements.
Yes, of course, you can draw anything on a regular HTML canvas and all you need is a thin layer of JS to do some interfacing.

However, I'd discourage you build complex GUI-s in WA. If you do that it means that you have to reimplement everything how the browser works and your end users are accustomed to.
If ESPN is what people want to pay for, why can't they just jack up the price of ESPN instead of making Disney+?

I'm not sure what effect this judgement even has. The court declared that the search policy was unconstitutional but denied the request for an injunction, so I think right now there's nothing preventing the ICE from continuing to search devices even in that district?

some clarification from -
Tutanota team here. We came across this discussion and would like to clarify some points:

End-to-end encrypted emails are not affected.

End-to-end encrypted data (calendar, contacts, etc) are not affected.

This applies only to non-encrypted emails received/sent after the court has been issued.

A valid German court order is required for this, 4 have been issued in the first half of 2019.

>How is this different from current web browsers for running JavaScript apps?

WebAssembly is a thing that web page Javascript can choose to use, and the Javascript is in control of what it exposes to WebAssembly. WebAssembly doesn't grant or somehow take away any privileges to the web page. (Ignoring performance, it would be possible to implement WebAssembly inside of a Javascript library as an interpreter.)

>Don't you think there is lockdown now?

No? Anyone can author and host a website, anyone can view html+js saved on their own machine, etc. Open source web browsers exist, are fully-featured, and are popular.
There's plenty of engineers available, especially outside of the valley where there aren't a thousand companies competing for the same pool of people.
One thing I haven't heard is how DisneyLife fits into this. I use it at the moment for my kids and it has all the stuff you expect from Disney, basically the animated movies like a Frozen and Moana.

The service is terrible, often breaks, and has an undocumented but necessary auth code step, with the added gotcha that the ui covers over the code sometimes. The ui is also terrible, who would make it so the next episode of a series doesn't come on by itself? Children are the target audience.

Anyway why wouldn't they either fix up what they've got, or use the lessons so that they don't get a meltdown on the first day?

Also does anyone know whether this was outsourced to say Accenture? It really feels like it.
Due to my recent visit to the awesome Mercedes museum, I thought of it as car reference... Especially considering that we're speaking about cars...

> Queues introduce entire other dimensions of complexity. Now you've got to monitor your queue size (and ideally autoscale when the queue backlog grows), and have a dead letter queue for messages that failed processing and monitor that.

Wouldn't you need similar mechanisms without a queue? It seems to me queues give more visibility and more hooks for autoscaling without adding additional instrumentation to the app itself.
Obviously it has with it controls the biggest OTHER use case for WebAssembly (the v8 runtime used in both the browser and Node) and thus can very much influence WebAssembly towards what they like (or slow it down adoption wise etc), even in areas not related with the web directly...
This kind of makes sense. It isn't their competency. I think it's general advice to never work in a role at a company where that's not their core competency. E.g., engineers are praised at places like Google, etc. Engineers working in entertainment (e.g, Disney) or health care (e.g, Epic Systems) are not as well treated.
>If the ads make you feel like they're specifically there to make you hate them enough to pay

That's inherently subjective though. About the only way for a paid product to not make me feel that way would be to keep showing me ads after I pay up, which is not what we're after. On the other hand, people have claimed on HackerNews before that they just plain don't mind ads. Where do you draw the line that says that they're specifically there to make you pay up? It's intellectually dishonest to both complain about ads and complain when a company offers a reasonable alternative to those ads.

> They could have less intrusive systems for advertising or just make it subscription only, patron/donation based like Wikipedia, or some hybrid of multiple models.

They have that. Subscription only makes discoverability (YouTube's primary strength) far more difficult. AFAIK YouTube does offer paid channel subscriptions, but for whatever reason Patreon seems to have captured that market far better.
Reading one of the Feynman books, probably "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman" I remember the section about nuclear-powered patent ideas, like nuclear-powered spaceship, plane, boat, ... and submarine. We only did the boat and submarine. I guess we did the spaceship too.
There was a recent court case about this (Rehaif v. U.S) where the Supreme Court made a decision about the law making it a felony to knowingly possess a gun in the US while here illegally. The prosecutor said "knowingly" just refers to the gun possession, but Rehaif's lawyer said it should refer to knowingly possessing the gun and knowing that you weren't in the country legally (Rehaif claimed that he hadn't read an email saying his student visa was revoked before he rented a gun at a shooting range). The Supreme Court said that "knowingly" referred to both the possession and the legality of one's presence. Presumably that means they're OK with a law that discriminates against some non-citizens on US soil.

Another thing that I just learned it is actually still illegal to borrow a gun at a shooting range if you have a non-immigrant visa (unless you have a hunting license). Even if he hadn't lost his visa he'd still be breaking a different law. It's illegal for people visiting with tourist visas to go to shooting ranges, but for tourists visiting from countries that don't require visas it's OK.
