1983 would be against the Sherrif for false arrest and imprisonment. As soon as it became clear that they did not have the appropriate mens rea for any of the crimes holding them in jail was blatantly illegal. Even if you somehow manage to misinterpret the law to not require mens rea, as soon as it became clear that it was entrapment it became illegal to continue to hold them.

There is no reasonable legal theory in which they are not innocent, unless there are substantial non public facts.

That's whether or not you think that the state has the authority to authorize this.

This ended up high up on the front page of Hacker News. I am interested to know why. For those upvoting it, what did you find valuable in it?
I really love how this is could be seen as a demonstration that HN (or any other similar interest community, or probably the internet in general) functions like a hive mind, a collective consciousness. I've read that post by Carmack and I wondered exactly that "wonder what Pascal's Mugging is, interesting".

Sometimes you go around and wonder various things, but don't look them up or do them in the moment, and then sometime later your subconscious mind serves you up with an answer, perhaps when you are more relaxed you just think up of the answer, or it happens to come up in a certain context, the subconscious lights it up there. It might be a word that you see randomly in a newspaper, or you think of a person that was related when you met them etc.

And here the subconscious did the same wonderous thing, except it wasn't even strictly my personal subconsciousness, it was the group subconscious that found the information and presented it.
I seem to remember that even when Cortana is shut off, it was found to be listening and sending telemetry back to Microsoft. Based on their past behaviour, I'd guess that even is it is "removed", those elements will remain.
> This caused a problem for me because we would write very lean code with low cyclomatic complexity and having these missed branches would screw up our code coverage numbers, causing us to miss our standards.

> It continuously activated and ran forcing the nose down.

Normal runaway trim does, yes. MCAS failure does not, and did not in the incidents. MCAS only intermittently adjusted the trim. (Yes, the computer was continuously running the MCAS algorithm, but that's not visible to the pilot, and if you're going to hang your hat on that definition of "continuously" you are the one being pedantic, not me.)

> Do you seriously believe a pilot, faced with trim that kept turning on trying to dive the airplane, would not think "I need to shut off the stabilizer trim. Oh wait, I'll leave it on because it's intermittent!" ?

First, I have not said the pilots could not have done anything to prevent the crashes. Of course they could. But the thing they could have done was not "the runaway trim procedure".

Second, the pilots were being bombarded with multiple warnings and conflicting information. Sure, it's easy to sit in your armchair and say they should have figured out that shutting off the stabilizer trim was the right thing to do (and even then they would have had to first figure out that they needed to use the manual electric trim to put the trim where it was supposed to be, since shutting off the automatic stabilizer trim would also shut off the manual electric trim). But pilots are not omniscient and they're not magicians. There are limits to what humans can figure out under the conditions those pilots were subjected to.

> There's a reason airplanes have not dispensed with pilots and gone fully automated.

And there's a reason that pilots are supposed to have full information about any system in the plane that they might be expected to have to override. Pilots weren't even told about the existence of MCAS until after the Lion Air crash; and even then they weren't told exactly what it did or how it worked or how an issue could arise or how the system could put the plane into an unrecoverable state.

There's also a reason that the plane is not supposed to subvert the pilots' attempts to control it when it starts doing wrong things.
All stories start out on the front page: most don’t stay there. This is relatively new (less than an hour old) during a period of relatively low activity. The fact that it may still be on the front page says more about current activity on HN than anything particular about this submission.

> A word processor shouldn't have its page white-on-black. A news reader shouldn't display its contents on white-on-black.

I’m young with (I believe) very good eyesight and I physically can’t handle white-on-black styles, especially with text. And I mean #000 and 240-255. It literally burns and blurs my eyes. A dark gray paired with a light gray or off-white is much more pleasing and readable to me.

I won’t discount those styles for text though, because at night it can help my eyes not melt out of my skull compared to black-on-white pages. And I have at times used Google Drive dark CSS themes while doc writing for extended late night sessions, and enabled some for GitLab and GitHub.

As someone who has spent considerable time in CG DCCs (Digital Content Creation), I can confirm that dark themes are a godsend and help immensely (for me) on focusing on the content. It also has the added benefit of not “tainting” your color perception when working with imagery. Blackmagic Design was under fire for a bit because they revamped themes in Resolve and Fusion from a neutral gray to a subtly hinted blue-gray and it threw off color artists as it influenced their grading.

"Having an appetite for risky things is dumb."

Well, I guess that depends on how big an appetite we're talking about. I think perhaps older more experienced people might tend to take less stupid risks. But if you don't take any risks at all you rarely get a big payout.

Perhaps the trend with the more experienced is that they have a better idea how big of a risk they can afford to take (without losing their shirt over the deal if it falls through).
> taking responsibility and confronting the problem yourself.
> You can't expect other people to solve problems that most are barely aware of.

You contradict yourself. I am software engineer. I have specialized in my field. The firm that employs me employs many experts across many fields. That they choose not to hire an ergonomics expert to provide us with an ergonomic workplace is a testament to their will, and priorities.

If you treat your CSS as a value-add, I've found you can often treat it that way. I've designed sites that work fine in text-based browsers, and then I stick CSS on it to make it look pretty on your phone.
How it's written here it won't be null. However the general pattern is to check for null in the finally block since it may not be provable that the stream is non-null (e.g. created in a library call or similar). In fact the try-with-resources feature handles the null case as well.
Sure, all modern inkjets perform cleaning cycles.... most of them do it between prints, and some can even do it on a regular basis even when in standby.

But, most of them don’t clean while in standby, and none of them clean themselves when unpowered. That’s the problem with infrequent use.

Lasers aren’t >$1,000 anymore, where it only makes economical sense for those who print in high volumes. There are a TON of laser printers under $100.

This study (and the fact that you're reading it) tells you there is an underserved demand for studies that give rich people luxuries to normal people and then find negative effects. In the future people will be enormously wealthy, as we are enormously wealthy compared to our ancestors. Inequality will be massive because zero will remain zero while the ceiling gets ever higher. Find novel ways to complain about this and you will be treated to thunderous applause by those who don't want this future.
I am excited to have been one of the pals who helped with this! It's an awesome project.
But how useful is it? Pascal's Mugging was submitted to HN and discussed 8 years ago. If the collective consciousness keeps needing reminders of what it once knew, this is probably still inferior to a single intelligent person who reads a lot and remembers it all.

In practice, reading a for-loop has been less problematic for me than reading the incantations of a functional programmer who’s been reading about category theory.

I know all about the virtues of functional programming patterns, and use them in personal projects, but in my day job working with dozens of engineers in the same codebase, I appreciate not having to decode the idiosyncrasies of how each engineer decides when and how to use higher order constructs, and the subsequent performance, operational, and maintenance implications. It’s a lot easier for me to just read a for-loop and move on with my life.

> Also many Americans can't afford a checkup because they spend the money they do have on bullshit, it's not that we wake up one day and realize we don't have Medicare for all

Trust me, I agree with you more than you know.

Reddit just trained me to try and sound less like I'm blaming individuals for making poor financial decisions (if I want my opinion to be heard rather than downvoted into the ninth circle of hell) and to never directly state that I don't support (current interpretations of) medicare for all.
Depends on whom it's good for.

For the 80%(?) of the young entrepreneurs who fail, not so much.

For the city/country that produces a massive company founded by young risk taking individuals - a lot. (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Airbnb etc)

Thinking of it as the explore-exploit method. Most of the explorers fail. Some of them turn in huge successes.

From a collectivist perspective, the net gain from these successes may dwarf whatever the over-exploitation that non-young non-risk taking individuals would generate.
It's cumulative travel, not straight-line distance.
IIRC, the binfmt elf code in the Linux kernel basically only does enough elf parsing to map everything into memory and kick off the linker. Then the linker does the rest, in userland. It matters because the binfmt code can be very hardened and minimal, whereas the userspace can go and do whatever it wants.

Of course the ELF parsing doesn't literally have to be done by the kernel, but there's no obvious good place to put it otherwise, considering it's a critical bit. If security is the real concern, then why wouldn't you just drop privileges while parsing ELF instead? I don't see the benefit to moving this code outside of the kernel. Maybe somehow moving it to a different protection ring would be helpful; but same for the rest of the binfmts.

I believe the Windows loader that loads PE files, is in fact in the kernel, along with a lot of other stuff. At the end of the day, when the Windows NT kernel was architected, speed was really important and security practices were not matured. I mean, the kernel handles or at once handled a lot of stuff, especially related to the GUI and even network RPCs and network services.

JSON has a grammar too. That is why they had to make a malformed JSON parser.

I can ship malformed XML too just like some person shipped malformed JSON. Maybe I forget to XML encode my text or something. Your XML parser would choke on it and you might be making this same exact post.

I don’t have care about JSON vs XML but let us not spread the lie that this cannot happen with XML. It happens all of the time.
Yes, there are middlemen in Bitcoin, but there are also ways around them, unlike in banking.

And yes, I definitely trust million of men who are constantly checking each other, rather than 10 bankers who found out that sticking together makes them more money.

That fraud argument is a double edged sword because I might be on the receiving side and falsely accused of fraud as any small business hit with chargebacks would confirm. When it's sent, it's sent, that's how it should be, no backsies. In the CC world you never know. Plus there are also escrows if you really need them, except unlike in banking world, Bitcoin escrow won't force you to eat a 30% haircut on your savings account when the bankers fuck up the whole economy while paying themselves big bonuses.

Relevant but not directly related -

I use iOS.

I have been looking for a note taking app that will directly save my notes to my Google Drive as soon as I take it.

For past 4 years I have been using the default Apple Notes. Back then, I noticed I can configure Notes to be synced with my Google account, and a new label called Notes is created in Gmail. But what I missed is that a separate Google account folder is created Notes and I need to save all my notes there in order for it to be uploaded to my Gmail in real time, and this I noticed only last week. So, for the past 4 years, I have been saving all my notes on my iPhone, in the default folder. And now there’s no other way except to manually upload all notes , one by one, which I have collected over the past 4 years, which goes in thousands, to Gmail.

Last week I downloaded Google Keep. There’s one big difference I noted between Apple Notes and Google Keep. In Apple Notes, the Notes which you have recently created / edited / modified / updated, automatically comes to the top, whereas that’s not the case with Google Keep. I love this feature of Apple Notes so much that I decided to stick to Apple Notes despite the disappointment I faced earlier of missing out on the separate Google folder in Apple Notes

Does anyone know of a way to upload all of my Apple Notes, which I have accumulated over the past 4 years, to Gmail directly in one go? Any workflows available to make this happen?

Any suggestion from anyone would be reciprocated with disproportionate gratitude _/\_

> Tiny cameras have been found in places where they shouldn’t be, like Airbnb rentals, public bathrooms and gym locker rooms. So often, in fact, that security experts warn that we are in the throes of a “bugging epidemic.”

Even more concerning, I feel, is cameras in places where they "should" be, like on every street corner, in stores, or in drones. If you place a camera surreptitiously in a place it shouldn't be and someone finds it, you're going to jail, somewhat limiting their use. There are no consequences to the latter, which means they're everywhere and people have come to accept them, meaning they may end up more invasive overall.

For people like me: It's a book about theory of chaos.

To quote:

> By now, there are also many physics textbooks on "chaos". Most lack depth, and many of them are plain bad, emphasizing pictorial and computer-graphics aspects of dynamics and short changing the student on the theory. That's a pity, as the subject in its beauty and intellectual depth ranks alongside statistical mechanics and quantum field theory, with which it shares many fundamental techniques. The book represents authors' attempt to redress the balance and present the subject as one of the basic cornerstones of the advanced graduate physics curriculum of future
