> Robbins v. Lower Merion School District is a federal class action lawsuit,[2] brought in February 2010 on behalf of students of two high schools in Lower Merion Township, a suburb of Philadelphia.[3] In October 2010, the school district agreed to pay $610,000 to settle the Robbins and parallel Hasan lawsuits against it.[1]

> The suit alleged that, in what was dubbed the "WebcamGate" scandal, the schools secretly spied on the students while they were in the privacy of their homes.[4][5] School authorities surreptitiously and remotely activated webcams embedded in school-issued laptops the students were using at home.[6][7] After the suit was brought, the school district, of which the two high schools are part, revealed that it had secretly taken more than 66,000 images.[8][9] The suit charged that in doing so the district infringed on its students' privacy rights.[6][10][11] A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction, ordering the school district to stop its secret webcam monitoring, and ordered the district to pay the plaintiffs' attorney fees.[12][13][14]

> The lawsuit was filed after 15-year-old high school sophomore (second year student) Blake Robbins was disciplined at school for his behavior in his home.

Acknowledging that the school was found to have been in the wrong and that the courts came down on the side of privacy, is the company which sold the school district the software they used to violate privacy guilty of anything? Should it be?

The company involved:

... said its software was intended to be used for theft recovery. Easier to recover stolen goods if the laptop can surreptitiously take pictures of its surroundings and send them home, see? Is that software inherently bad, like the software you're talking about is? It could certainly be used for the same thing.
Sure, it's just that right now it's trying to bootstrap that category in the first place

Awful lot of "some people" argumentation in this thread.
NAT rules this world and all on it.

Just offering another perspective than most others had done here:

I grew up in China and have been in China a few times in the past 10 years - the amount of Robocalls and phone scams was overwhelming (in fact, it was so bad that dual SIM mobile phones became popular because you can have a disposable SIM card for non-essential website registrations and one for family members that you keep private use). I had my identity stolen after somehow I went into China Mobile pop-up service storefront in PEK airport to get a local SIM card. People on the line on my back was so close to the counter and peeking application forms with all sorts of private data, which made me very uncomfortable. There are also organized gangs that are operating in selling people's private identity data like mobile phone numbers.
Later it made sense how my identify was stolen in retrospect.

Also, mobile phone number is essentially Chinese citizen's digital identity in a way in that 99% of the website/online services use mobile phone number instead of emails for authentications and 2FA. It's nearly impossible to sign up for any Chinese website without giving your mobile phone number to complete the sign up.

Given China's mobile-centric Internet boom, the amount of phone scams and frauds and identity thefts going on and all businesses (including financial institutions) are relying heavily on, it's a reasonably measure to counter fraud with real identity tying in with mobile phone number issuance.

So no I don't think it's a political motivated move, even though the side effect is making the abuse much more convenient.

Oh interesting idea - not something I'd thought of. (We don't use Airflow at fast.ai so this will likely require a PR.)
I appreciate your exercise / decompression time. It's something I miss occasionally being remote. 8:30-5:30 with an hour on each end for a commute is definitely more of a typical workday I'd say for somebody in an office.

That said, imagine if you could do 40 minutes of walking with your child instead (or do the walk / ride / sport you wanted during that time), lose nothing, and still work the same hours?

Lamenting the lack of time for exercise and social activities is a problem
of having children, not remote work. Working at an office, however, means you'll likely get first crack at that stuff because it's "on your way home" or "just a thing after work" but if you were working from home you could easily trade this time back and forth with your partner and they could do the same thing. That said, those interactions definitely require a bit more work than the social scene that's "built-in" at the office.

Transit | Montreal, QC | iOS Developer | Full-time | https://transit.app

Howdy HN! Transit is a mobile app used by millions of commuters to get from a-to-b without their own car. We're trying to build an app that makes car ownership redundant, by showing riders (1) where a combination of car-free options are faster & cheaper than taking an automobile and (2) by giving those riders the world's best real-time information. We use crowdsourcing, machine learning, and specialized tools to improve the GTFS feeds we get from transit agencies, so riders can trust our ETAs, trip plans, and disruption info more than any other app.

Anyways — we're looking for an iOS developer to join our team! If you're curious, we got the job listing up here: https://transit.app/jobs/ios
not to be That Guy, but: all those things listed under each bullet are very nearly just org-mode documentation chapter titles.

Org is very clearly Just Plain Text, but there is a nontrivial caveat, which is "... backed by LISP, so text is also data is also code is also text". Most of the real goodies (babel, refile, capture) will not (ever, probably) work outside of emacs.

I agree that plain text is rad, though!
> Taken together, I think it is safe to say that most organizations will never own a quantum computer, and will find the cloud-based on-demand model a better fit. It may well be the case that production-scale quantum computers are the first cloud-only technology.

There was a magical moment when an automobile went from being a gimmicky horse replacement to an actual innovation.

I feel like this is a possible glimpse at something similar for the cloud.

They took IBM's money and spent a bunch of it on developing a competitor to OS/2.

They also baited a bunch of their competitors into developing for OS/2 because it had IBM's support, then made their own products for Windows.

Jfc no one is learning surgery from a video. A resident looks up an article or a textbook chapter, watches a video, then assists - and when they’re assisting, they’re better prepared because all of the above. Then they watch a video to refresh. If the video is nonsense, they’ll know right quick. They’ll assist many times before they take lead, and will take lead with a supervisor many times before ever going solo.

The headline makes it sound like someone is watching a YT video and then walking into the OR to perform an operation.
There is so much visual garbage on Twitter, please add links to a normal text if possible. Twitter is borderline unreadable and god forbid accidentally clicking anywhere on the page - everything just instantly closes and you get thrown somewhere randomly. Truly horrible UX/UI.
I used to really dislike youtube because I thought there was nothing but people goofing off and ripped TV shows on it.

Honestly people are doing serious research on it, and besides that you can get lectures or even just friendly monologues/QAs from experts on almost any subject. It was MIT's math videos that convinced me to start watching it, after that I found some of my favorite proffessor's lectures there too along with a lot of graduate level stuff from other universities. Then there where all the videos from amateur and professional scientists and musicians and so on. The basics of my personal understanding of music theory came from a nearly century old book I found in a used book store but it's grown a lot thanks to youtube.

I hate that it's controlled by a single company, and that they keep tearing down the chemistry channels but while it's still no substitute for reading papers when you get into really niche subjects (ex: molecular dynamics and computational chemistry) the educational side of youtube is surprisingly underrated.

No, git actually stores diffs when its reasonable to do so. You can check the files for the objects in the repository yourself. Git can compress these files into packs, but that's a separate step on top.
Exactly. Other companies knew that kind of attention and reaction was beyond human capacity, which is why they had two safety drivers. Which I'm still not sure is sufficient to compensate for the other sorts of negligence Uber staff indulged in here.

As much as I love the web, I think the move-fast-break-things ethos, which is arguably useful for startups doing who-cares-if-it-breaks things like social web front end tweaks, has been absolutely terrible for the industry more broadly. I have friends who make excellent money just sweeping up after the elephant parade of hotshots, solving infrastructure and code issues written by people who want to get paid like professionals without acting like ones. I'm glad for them, but the waste is maddening. And that's before we get to the body counts of places like Facebook and Uber.

"So for example, if you look at the U.S., productivity growth mid-century or say between, you know, 1920, 1970, was maybe about 1.9% a year. Now most economists think it’s much lower, maybe around sort of .4% a year, something like that."

Isn't this just because the US was riding off of the coattails of two world wars and being _the_ global superpower? I wonder what the data says about the rest of the world in that period, probably not so good?
I believe with proper documentation remediation is tax deductible in that you can raise your cost basis when you sell.

Further, your mortgage interest up to $750K is also tax deductible, and you have to index the whole thing to inflation. Once you do all that the costs are either nominal or negative on a 3.5% 30 year fixed deducted from a Bay Area income. Until Donny took us for a ride property taxes were deductible too.

This is what it looks like when owners vote.

SEEKING WORK - Remote - Miami,FL

I have 10 years of experience as a full stack software engineer building applications for mobile and web using various languages and technologies. The past 4 years I’ve been working almost exclusively on single page applications with JavaScript (React), Node, Express, PostgreSQL and AWS. I would prefer some work along these lines but feel free to reach out for anything.

I have some extra time for these few months and wouldn’t mind taking on some short term work. Must be done remotely but I don’t mind flying out for a meeting somewhere either if necessary. I am startup friendly! I was once a co-founder myself and am a 500 Startups alumni.

Pento | Full stack developer | EU | REMOTE ONLY | https://pento.io

Come join us building a new payroll product for European small/medium sized businesses! A very conservative market with old competitors and products = tons of potential.

Founders are 500 Startups alums and have previously worked on two startups, one of them out of Silicon Valley.

We're looking for a full stack web developer to join our remote team. Ideally, you are a person who is not only proficient in frontend and backend work, but also have some experience in DevOps and system architecture. As you will be part of the early team, you should be a fast learner and be able to work in different roles.

Working from home one day a week likely means that your company / colleagues are not set up to actually behave and interact with you normally during that day.

Alternatively, if you're set up to work remotely every day, you come to work the same way you would in an office and you don't "wait until so-and-so is back in person" to get stuff done. One day a week might be a good experiment, but it's definitely not an indication of the way you would be working if it were full time and it's definitely not the same thing as remote work in my experience.

Until everyone you work with works remotely (or "like they are remote") it is difficult to simulate what that work can look like when it gets going well.
