I am not saying we shouldn't arrest drunk drivers. Drunk driving is bad. If someone drives while a tiny bit drunk and they make it home safely who exactly is the victim in that specific case?

Its a gray area and I think its best to be on the side of caution but lets at least be honest about it.

DUI checkpoints don't catch drunk drivers. They catch unlicensed drivers. Next time you you roll through one, thank the police officer for keeping the community safe and then ask how many drunks they arrested that night.
It starts looking appealing when your monthly AWS bill is deep into the 5 figures and you’re kinda trapped: do you pour your engineering resources into cost-optimizing your infrastructure (doable, but time consuming) or kick the can down the road?

Believe it or not, going private but not having to give up the niceties of AWS or Azure would be quite appealing.
Every enterprises local firewall I know of can report back to a central system for logging.
I'll leave it at this, I'm glad they prioritized not having to escape JSON on the command line over people who have no idea about how the tool works being able to guess how to pass form inputs.

That is probably the most user friendly difference they could make for working with JSON based APIs
Yes, I do consider it a conspiracy theory, but stopped short of describing it that way directly. It is also a little personal for me, as I have some Lithuanian heritage.
Very interesting. I myself was dealing with a Java project I need to maintain for legacy reasons on MySql 5.1. I Just spoon up a Django project aside, and used Peewee[0] to access without changes the DB. Works like a charm and easily integrated in Django midleware.

The important thing about working from home for me is that I get to spend more time with my 2 year old. Both from not having to commute and also by getting to see him every time I get up to take a break. If I worked 9-6 at an office with an hour commute each way I’d only see him for an hour every day.
That is the harshest adjustment. I had to make accommodations as my mood plummeted immediately. I work every morning at the coffee shop which gives me some social exposure and pseudo interaction. Merely being around others, and bright light, helps. I don't have to rely on meetups much anymore, but that's a very useful tool. I particularly enjoyed pick-up sports, non-fiction discussion, etc.
the syntax, it is HORRIBLE

they'll go nowhere with that
Sun very strongly encouraged their employees to have blogs, and was either one of or the first to do so (especially at their level). Basically no restrictions on subject matter. Even their CEO regularly blogged!

A better question would be "What didn't Oracle do to kill the Sun blogging culture?"

> I would just move on to the next article, except that there is a need here for a company I invest in.

This is exactly how any "WeWork" type company sucks in investors. You'd just ignore the stupid out of hand except that it would be so nice to believe that if this company is on the level and IF their product does what they say it will and IF they deliver it in a reasonable time frame then it will solve the problem and somehow make money for investors.

Forget the names and reputations of the people involved... if three random people came up to you at a conference and said "We've formed a company to solve problem X!", wouldn't you wait until they showed an actual product to even think about potentially making decisions based on what they might do?
If you really want to dig deep into the pervasive surveillance of young children research companies like https://www.bark.us/schools . They fear monger parents with suicide prevention and child porn to fully monitor all digital activity of students. This is a cultural regression for our children.

> So yea, we should be complaining that, not AAPL but financial instruments, are expensive!

And to the point of this topic I think this contributes to housing woes, atleast in major markets where there's a very low rental yields.

I can afford to rent in my area, but I can't afford to buy because (with an identical unit in the same neighborhood) my monthly costs would go up by $1000 or $1500 or so, even with 20% down. I think low returns on financial instruments contribute to this (because on the contrary, if you could buy bonds yielding 5% why would you hold rental properties that yield less before maintenance?)

All financial markets are connected, and across the board we have capital appreciation with low yield. It seems like we're headed to some kind of reckoning, but I have no idea what or when. Last year I thought it would come with rising interest rates, but that's off the table for who knows how long.

SEEKING WORK | REMOTE (travel possible) | Los Angeles, CA

I'm a freelance developer with 7 years of experience. I specialize in helping early stage companies bring their ideas to life as new apps and websites. Beyond creating a beautiful app with you, I'll make sure we're measuring the right things so you can get the best outcomes. I build apps to allow quick iteration and short feedback loops. My experience at startups has taught me how to pick the right features to build and validate quickly, which saves you money and time. I can help you integrate marketing, analytics, and sales to get the most out of your creation. One of the first companies I worked with, SwoopSrch, I helped take their rough idea of what they wanted to an MVP in a weekend. Then I spent a year helping them iterate on the idea. I spent a few years at Rackspace building massively scalable cloud infrastructure and making open source contributions to OpenStack. Then, I started as the first engineer at a startup, Triggr Health, building apps to help people in addiction recovery and help with mental health issues. One of my freelance clients was the University of Maryland, who I helped migrate some Flash apps to React and handle some challenging performance issues. Another recent client is HealthJay, who I helped to build an app to track seniors and detect falls. I built an Apple Watch app for them, as well as a React Native app (which also detects falls), a React back office app, and a Node backend.
I've got experience with:

- React Native

- React

- NodeJS

- Javascript and Typescript

- iOS/Android native development

- Python

- Django

- OpenStack, AWS, Ansible, DevOps

I dunno what your problem with these people is, but Jessie is a Docker maintainer and Bryan built dtrace and went on to do fascinating things with illumos and Joyent. Steve Tuck spent 10 years at Joyent, starting as a Sales Director and ending as President.

These are all serious people, and the first two have reputations built on strong technical contributions to (even ignoring the wild overuse of k8s for resume-driven-development) complex technical products.
The absence of good public health initiatives is also the result of the fractured, poor quality, expensive, private healthcare system in the US.
We have financially supported wire guard for some time and have followed its development closely while being in communication with its developer.

We do have explicit stock OpenVPN support.

While your adversary might not be the NSA, it’s our duty to only use battle hardened, time proven systems because as others noted, privacy can be life and death.

We aren’t going to falter on it. We never have. And we never will.

NordVPN plays fast and loose as we see by their masked headquarter location, hidden hacks, and other not so above board actions. It’s exactly what I would never want in a VPN to be clear.
Vultr Charges
Basically i got charged for 45$ i wasn't using their services for month and like yesterday i got a message from them that i got charged even my credit card was empty and i destroyed my service after i had no money left on my account but it seems they put 45$ from somewhere and turned on server and i got charged not even thinking about paying those frauds
Okay, 200+ so far.

How many would die if the US ended up having a second civil war? What if nuclear deterrence failed to deter conventional warfare and foreign boots landed on US soil?

I understand these are drastic and extreme possibilities that we'd rather not think about and would hope could never occur. However, the world can be an extremely dangerous place as people in Syria, Iraq, Venezuela, HK, etc. understand better than most. It's not a fantasy world, and we can never forget that if it's possible over there then it's possible over here, and that's a risk that vastly dwarfs the current outrage.
US healthcare spending represents $3.4 trillion[0]. $6.3 billion is only 0.18% of the total costs.

Not to mention that malpractice claims paid has decreased substantially (55.7%) in the last 2 decades [1].

I used to spend a lot of time out there between 2000 and 2008 and I loved it. The bay area had a charm to it and I loved just exploring the whole area.

But now... I haven't been there in over 10 years but from what I'm hearing it sounds like a terrible place to visit, much less live. I really hope I'm wrong about that, or, at least they can turn things around. I'd like someday to take my kids there and show them the places I loved to visit.
For those that don't know "Soul of a New Machine" is a book by Tracey Kidder. Its about the team at Data General building a new computer. I was skeptical about this book, but its really quite a good read. (My mom worked at Data General, which is how I ended up with the book)

The book won a Pulitzer prize for non-fiction.

Elected prosecutors want to posture for the next election. Their incentives are around garnering popularity. When most voters mentally translate "misdemeanor" into "minor thing not worth worrying about", it isn't always a good look to go after those who may have committed them.

Police notice what isn't prosecuted. They don't enjoy the experience of wasting their time arresting people repeatedly for deeds that the prosecutor doesn't care about.

Then there's stuff like this:

> “In an era where our streets are filled with homeless people looking for shelter from the elements this expansion of the prosecution and incarceration time for individuals who have not damaged a locking mechanism of the vehicle to gain entry could negatively impact those with the least of means,” the public defenders said in a letter to lawmakers.

Prosecuting those with the least of means for anything less than heinous, violent crimes also isn't a good look.
Hours would take to get IDs of 81300 stories posted since August
>NOT USE VERY FANCY STUFF

They said "with minimum fuss". Write every non-trivial functionality yourself from scratch is the opposite of minimum fuss.

When you use something fancy, and the devs stop supporting it, worst case is you have to write it from scratch yourself at that point, or hope that an alternative exists.

Your suggestion is acting like they don't exist in the first place and write stuff yourself like fancy stuff disappeared - it is a huge hassle and investment all the same.
Do you want them to be lined up single file with boys and girls in one line each between classrooms too? That’s what they basically do in college in Pakistan at this point. When do you expect them to make the transition to the other side of the panopticon as responsible adults?
In terms of part two, legislating middle class comfort standards as a requirement mostly makes new housing only affordable to the middle class and up.

American localities have significantly larger minimum space requirements than peer cities around the world. A Parisian studio can be from 9-35 square meters, and that basically wouldn‘t be allowed as new construction in the vast majority of the country today.
These kind of problems seem to be a pervasive pattern when family tendrils snake their way into a business.

I know of a similar business that has had an almost similar implosion. Run by a patriarch and matriarch husband-and-wife duo, a small fortune (much less than the company in this article) of money was made in a niche manufacturing sector. The patriarch proceeded to take large chunks of the fortune and hemorrhage it out into passion projects (he also owned a thoroughbred racing company that bled money, just like the people in the article!).

Husband and wife would often times argue and try to bring employees into their drama and force them to take sides. Divorce was threatened several times.

Family members all worked for the company and came in to get a scoop of the ice cream. The company’s core business didn’t really diversify since the owner was focusing on all of these money wasting pet projects and as such when their main client scaled back their business the company became a shadow of what it once was.

Bottom line: mixing family into your business can turn out to be a risky maneuver.
117 hours would take to get IDs of 81300 stories posted since August

Currently I learn to analyse HN posts (stories to be precise)

At the moment of writing 849451 items have been posted since 29th of August (IDs between 21682006 and 20832555).

Among those only 81300 are stories (HN’s term for post).

To find out which you could use HackerNews API and fetch every of 849451 items and check if it’s a story for 117 hours (assuming 2 requests per second).

Or periodically fetch endpoint which dumps IDs of last 500 stories (it would take 38 minutes to find these IDs by going backwards from last item, in my case 21682006 - 21677389 = 4617 items to check)

Back in the end of August I’ve set a script that gets those 500 IDs every two hours and saves new ones.
Apparently:

"In California a misdemeanor is defined as a crime for which the maximum sentence is no more than one year in county jail."

A year in jail is a serious punishment. Why can't these people be prosecuted?
It's not clear. Antitrust policy only matters (in the sense of having positive effects!) in the presence of barriers to entry (non-contestability), and when these barriers are present it matters regardless of how the dominant firm got so big. So I think the folks who are pursuing this line of research are either confused, or at best they're reaching the same conclusions as mainstream scholarship in a very roundabout way.

In most urban areas the cost of an apartment has more to do with the value of the land under it than the cost of actually building and furnishing the place.
> I could make s citizens arrest under my rights

Very debatable. If you as a non-LEO attempt to detain someone who you suspect of having committed a crime, and they feel threatened, you could easily end up in jail.

“They did a crime” does not, in fact, give you the right to crime too.

Edit: Can someone help me out? I’ve posted a bunch of controversial opinions in this thread, so why is the one factual claim the thing getting downvoted to oblivion without comment?

Am I somehow wrong about this? Like... can I actually crime someone just because they crimed someone else first and I don’t want them to get away with it?

I need to know this.
