The complaint[1] leads with the allegation that the State Department denied him permission to travel to DPRK and attend this conference. How does that work? Did he seek permission from State and receive a denial, then go ahead and do it anyway?

Edit: 15(c) alleges that he did in fact seek prior approval. Well, I guess it's no mystery why he's in deep trouble now.

> Never seen an ATM with opening hours, other than ones located inside shopping malls where the entire mall completely closes during the nights.

True for pure ATMs, but here (Lübeck, SH) all the ATMs (besides those fee scalping machines) are inside the bank areas, and they all close between 22 and 23 until the next morning. And when you find one that is open, good luck at getting smaller bills.
Late reply, but can you please not post off-topic flamebait to HN?
We disagree somewhere, but I'm not sure where. Let me take a stab...

If people don't scale, why are we hoping for "leadership" to be at the heart of it. The whole idea behind "inspired leadership" is that it's a person, and they need to be really good.

I'm saying too things, rely on simple, honest structural procedures to drive cultural changes... not leaders.

A lot of leadership is cosmetic. I'm not discounting the importance of feelings and symbols to an organisation. Just focusing on symbols, attitudes and such though... it's nonsense.

If you're trying to solve problems like "innovation at big companies," you'll need to deal in real currency. The stuff of real incentive... cultural stuff, but also monetary stuff, power stuff, etc.

We're looking to make the business sustainable so that we are in this for the long run. Without money, we couldn't spend the same amount of time on it that we are.

And we were definitely bad on the messaging and are going to be more careful in the future as it does cause upset.

I'm reminded of Mercedes Lackey's magically dwindling army in the Storm trilogy; where millions of invading soldiers turn into tens of thousands without much casualties. Also, I guess I've gained a bit of appreciation for WWI English officer training; apparently it was good enough to make Tolkien invent proper campaigns.

Heck, I'd like to see someone compare 14 day campaigns from WWI that Tolkien could have known about and see which one he reproduced in his books.

It fits your description of being a book of advice about how to succeed which is also largely autobiographical.

As far as I know, Adams worked solo, and failed to gain any traction in any large organization, so if that’s what you want to have advice about, the Dilbert guy might not be the one to advise you about how to enjoy success in large organizations.

Espionage cases are traditionally resolved with harsh penalties and no reductions for good behavior. The government wants a clear message sent to anyone else thinking of doing similar things.

The only way you can get off is if your trial would reveal sources and methods the government doesn't want to disclose.

Thank you for this. I spend a non-trivial amount of time telling people working in AI and machine learning (which I also do) that the brain isn't some parameter optimization machine and that analogies from whatever technology or math people are excited about aren't very useful. I wish some neuroscience education and articles like these were some part of the ML canon.

Tangential to this -- anyone have a good resource for selecting smart devices that are private and secure?
Thanks, that's interesting -- I'll have to buy one of their bulbs to compare to my other LED bulbs.

Looks like the lowest cost might be the 100W COB LED ... It would need a bunch of supporting equipment but it might be possible to do it for around $2 per watt.

Edit: I guess the normal bulbs and the led tubes could also come in around $2/watt and they can take mains power so that might be an easier but physically larger route.
The AI seems to have more variance producing both extra good ans extra bad cards. It brings to mind a practice of "augmented writing" where humans filter and pick the best from the AI, tweak the parameters, and depending on the context edit it together so it is consistent and makes sense.
When people follow policies strictly to the exclusion of work getting done, that's not something to be solved with another policy. In a well-functioning environment, people are very willing (too willing, if you ask most security teams!) to ignore or override annoying policies that stop things from getting done. If people are working to rule, that's almost always a protest action, and the only real solution is resolving the protesters' frustration.

Dearth refers to scarcity. Maybe that’s what you meant, but it didn’t sound like it.

The crucial question that this article doesn't address is: replace coal with what? Germany has been closing its nuclear plants, which has largely negated the gains they've made in wind and solar. Once renewable generation during peak production hours for solar and wind is saturated not much can be gained from further increases in solar and wind capacity. The only alternative for non-intermittent energy production (besides nuclear) is gas. And gas still emits carbon, and creates energy dependency on Russia.
Be careful with that.

So in-person talks is aiding and abetting?

What about videoconference?

What about emails?

What about a semi-hidden webpage meant primarily for them?

Or how about a general developer FAQ that would get anybody dev-minded up to speed?

Where do we draw this line of "aiding and abetting"? Material good? Information? Congratulations? This appears to be strongly a 1st amendment issue of speech. Not that I like NK, but that point is a distractor. Why is it a crime to talk about cryptocurrency and monetary censorship of countries?

As far as I know, his “cancellation” stems from one thing, and one thing only: He says that Trump is skilled at being convincing (and explains how, at length). This, in the eyes of others, makes him a Trump apologist, and must therefore be shunned.

If you had a link to that weird tweet I would like to see it; it would be interesting to see if I agree with your characterization.
Well stated. Bookmarked.

One additional bullet point I would add: Hiring.

If an isolated HR unit controls hiring and freezes the hiring managers and team out of the process, or effectively alienates them, you're wasting a huge amount of energy.

This is part of the methodology I try to weave into my organizations:

- A thoughtful and literate job posting, purged of gratuitous jargon, will accurately describe the job and foreshadow the company culture.

- Candidates will be evaluated using a simple quantitative assessment of core competencies (see Ch. 21 of Kahneman’s Thinking Fast and Slow).

- Final decision will be a collective decision of the hiring team.

- After hiring cycle is complete, hiring team will hold a retrospective.

- We will acknowledge mistakes and work to correct them quickly and humanely.

I'm starting to use TLA+ to verify lock-free algorithms. The tool is essential when all your code fits on the screen, yet you can't comprehend what is going on and miss a race here and there.

So far it's more a personal interest, but I'm advocating for spending more time verifying critical pieces of our code base like MPMC containers, synchronization primitives, etc.

Rust’s ownership model is used to provide memory safety. Entities have only one owner so that the compiler can reason about when they go out of scope and can be safely dropped. If x didn’t get invalidated by the move then both x and y would own the entity. You could then do something like pass y into a function that would drop y at the end of the function scope, and then cause a use-after-free by using x. With the ownership model the compiler can guarantee that use-after-free is always a syntax error. The ownership model is a fair bit more complicated than this, but move semantics are at the core of it.

Author here. I used to Safari on iPhone to browse HN but I never felt comfortable mixing a trusted browsing session such as the HN front page and discussion with externally linked articles in the stories, so I built a simple browser to ensure that every article opens in a temporary browsing session that is fast, secure, and stable. everything else works as expected including your regular sign-in, upvote, flagging comments and other sessions of the hacker news web experience

The backend is a very simple Go service with two endpoints and a Postgres database that keep tracks of all the broadcasted stories. The backend directly scraps the front page of HN because the official Firebase API reports different top stories than the front page. The app is pure Swift+UIKit with a Combination of tricks around WKWebView navigation, WKWebView gestures and Navigation Controller to create a consistent browsing zone for your HN front page and temporary browsing zones for the articles. The app tracks analytics anonymously without any third-party SDK.

I asked about the open source version, and then made a tweet about how you had changed your mind (which you've admitted to here, and on our phone call).

If anyone was a troll in that situation it wasn't me ;-)
I still see nothing wrong with that. It's words, either spoken, written, or on a screen. It matters not that he's in person, or remote.

They could derive that from the multitude of developer FAQs, Stack Exchange, or other sources.

Long story short, this is the US government throwing a fit about a US citizen in NK. Have to set an example.

Now, if he gave them cryptocoins or other assets, then there might be a legitimate case of breaking international law. But you know, there's this pesky thing called 'proof'.
There have been huge gains at nearly all income levels, but not all. The groups missing out has been the 1st-world non-rich. Graph of it here:

https://avc.com/2016/08/elephant-chart/

(note that the green line marks the mean gain, at about 25%, not zero)

So the typical 1st-world person sees people on both sides of them gaining by leaps and bounds, while their own situation is stagnant. That is bound to cause some bitterness. The people below are now providing competition that pushes down the cost of labor, both via outsourcing and immigration.
First off, this isn't an espionage case.

How We Implement 10x Faster Expression Evaluation with Vectorized Execution

I'm assuming you're talking about the exterior metal curtains common to Spanish houses (persiana con cajor exterior [1]).

Those are only incidentally to block out light, they're mainly for thermal management. You put them down in the middle of the day to keep hot air and direct sunlight out.

A system like that is completely unsuitable in places that get snow. If you installed it on a house in Iceland it would at best freeze solid, and more likely explode as snow slush made it into the joints and froze solid. You don't even need to go outside of Spain to see that, go up to Monachil in Granada and see that no house in the area uses that system.

Of course you could install blinds like that behind double-glazed glass, but at that point you can just buy normal blackout curtains. Since you don't need it for thermal management (any amount of external heat making into the house being a luxury) there's no point in installing it on every window in the house.

So then for practical purposes you're left with only installing blackout curtains in the bedroom, but if you live that far north you're going to need to just get used to sleeping in the light anyway. What are you going to do if you go on a camping trip where you sleep in a tent and forget your blackout eye mask, just not sleep?

I am not sure where in Europe you've experienced _long_ distance buses but heavy vehicles have a tacho by law in any EU country.

All drivers have to prove they rested x hours if they have done y kilometers. Any company violating this will be charged.

Also consider that Argentina North to South is well over 3000km which would be equivalent to a trip between Estonia and Greece.
Use Emby instead... or do not use the Cloud Auth from either.

Local Auth only.
One good way I've found is to use Home Assistant's integrations page.

Let's say you're looking for a smart doorbell. You'd go here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/#doorbell

You can then go to each integration and on the right if it says "IoT Class: Local Push" you can be fairly certain it can be locally controlled without the cloud and that it reports state without the cloud. In this scenario, it'd be DoorBird. You can be fairly certain you can block internet access at your router for this device and it'll work just fine. Don't quote me on that for Doorbird though.

I can't find a good introduction on the topic at the moment, so I'll just quote Microsoft's succinct answer: "Alignment makes your UI look neat, organized, and balanced and can also be used to establish visual hierarchy and relationships."

They also have a nice illustration: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/layout/a...

Great job. Would like to read those books. Unfortunately available payment scheme is not suitable for me. I’m ready to pay a larger one time payment with the help of my employer or subscribe to all books at once with a single subscription.

Blockchain is most useful in situations where there is a lack of trust between parties. Seems like a lot of people on HN distrust PayPal because of being bitten by frozen accounts or having their earned money revoked. That’s why money is a good use case for blockchain.

Voting is another - maybe you don’t trust that your vote for the radical will be counted correctly.

Smart contracts are another. If the other party decides they don’t like the current state of affairs (they are losing) then it’s much easier and less expensive to have the contract auto-enforced than using a army of law enforcement and lawyers.

If HSBC is actually using this to create an immutable record of transactions that ensures integrity of the logs then it would be a good use case, but I have my doubts.

Contrary to your experience, VxWorks has a very good reputation in the embedded/real-time industry. I've used it in many projects myself.

It performs well, integrates well, runs on most things you can want and everything supports it. Its pretty much the de-facto standard in defence circles.
I see your point. My point is that to be called "community driven" the language should be relatively popular. Otherwise there would be an absence of community on the first place.

Attorney here! (Not providing legal advice - seek licensed counsel in your jurisdiction if you need legal advice.)

Any act that would provide material assistance is sufficient. Criminal law is pretty liberal about what constitutes an "act" in furtherance of a crime. If it concerns you, stay far far away.

But merely publishing information in a book or on a publicly-accessible website for all to see is not generally going to get in you trouble (subject of course to copyright, publishing classified information, etc.).
