There should be a way to store data so that aggregate queries like "count how many different people are in a given location" can be answered without compromising individual privacy. Approaches like k-anonymity or L-diversity come to mind

The problem is that there is no incentive for businesses to do so. Even regulations like GDPR & CCPA mostly don't touch upon the privacy of first-party data. As long as you give an option to delete the data (which often is hard to implement), you don't have to do anything more.
Also reminds me of the Islet idea, from this Carl Hewitt talk:

Hey Paul. Cool idea! Just wanted to say good luck, and we're here to help, if you want it. The Standard Library team knows you well. :)
Both are well established and used in full or part by various retailers.

A) Cigarettes. Always behind a counter for age checks, but mostly because of loss prevention. Top shelf liquor, electronics, razors, and batteries often have similar constraints because they are compact and resalable. What is the loss of sales compared to theft loss and clerk staffing requirements (or implementation of the technology).

B) Club model suffers losses just the same. You can counterfeit a membership, and you might have issues validating on entry otherwise. Faster validation on entry might result in capex, and again you have a loss prevention/loss cost benefit decision to make.

Nobody is throwing money and low margin grocery chains. So cash flow positive operations are a big concern.
Why Tesla's Model 3 Received a 5-Star Crash Test Rating
From a purely consequentialist perspective, it's not clearly a net good if it has a chilling effect on legitimate research, increases economic costs due to regulatory uncertainty, or has other negative second-order effects concomitant with arbitrary and overly subjective legal systems.

From a deontological perspective, it's not clear that this is good if one of your values is clearly and consistently enforced law.
"So, have the bottom cover be the heatsink?"

Yes, the upper cover with the fins up should be designed to match perfectly with the lower one when mounted with the fins facing down. Cuts should be arranged so that the bottom cover rubber feet wouldn't prevent perfect surface contact. It would become a fairly large heatsink in which the size and combined thickness would likely be enough to counteract the small fins size and absence of fans.
Battery/disk/memory covers on the bottom side would be accessible by removing the additional cover.
Nobody ever says "I just don't want a new housing unit there". Every single one of those groups has some kind of justification for why they don't want new housing near where they are. Some say it's to prevent "Rent Seeking Developers", some say it's to improve the quality of local parks, sometimes it's because the unit they are replacing adds some "special character" to their block. In the end though they all have the exact same goal and same effect. It's all NIMBY bullshit, everyone is for affordable/ new housing unless it impacts them in the tiniest way, then suddenly they are against it.
When I was in high school 92-96 I had taken 4 yrs of CAD/CAM/CNC. At that time we were already more advance than the community college next door. In 96 after graduating high school I had decided to go to DeVry Institute of Technology. I was shocked to see that they were still using windows 3.0. Testing out was not an option at that time, but I couldn't see waisting money on something that I was already far beyond in regards in to current OS at the time. I think it's very important that if schools are gonna teach tech that it be with what is current as times are quickly changing. I would like to see more stuff being doing with 3D printing and lasers, app creation, website building, and possibly game developing.

Email: david.b.calhoun@gmail.com

Experienced frontend web developer with an understanding of frontend fundamentals (plain old JavaScript, HTML, and CSS) as well as frameworks that build on those fundamentals (React.js, etc). Experience working in environments with unclear requirements, and pushing to get a better understanding directly from users themselves when possible.

React + Node.js + EdTech or other good causes is my ideal combination! Willing to relocate for the right position.

Have done work for Netflix, Google, Yahoo!, as well as a few other smaller companies.
I agree. Doing MVVM in WPF/XAML felt like an incredibly natural transition from web frameworks for me. In fact, from a high-level standpoint it feels uncannily similar to working in Angular and TypeScript.
Can anyone confirm if this is actually 5G according to spec, or "5G" in the way that LTE was "4G", but not really[0]?

That was kind of the joke.
>Because you’re comparing a continent-wide federation to a tiny island-sized country.

I really don't see what you're getting at here. You yourself have been making (irrelevant) comparisons to France, which has about the same population as the UK.

There is no such size as "island-sized". Islands can be big or small.

>No, they just colonized Africa and disenfranchised them there. Totally different.

Indeed, this is completely different.
Not really. The assumption is that modifying the dom directly is the expensive part.
Two things:

1.

> off chance the suicide vest was real

Would you argue that what the police officer did was wrong here? Is lethal force not justified with the credible threat of violence? I would argue that someone threatening you with a Airsoft gun with the tip taken out so it appears to be a real gun is enough to justify deadly force in self defense, you don't have to verify that gun is real. In hindsight, it is clear that you could have arrested him without shooting him, but that was not at all clear in the situation, and having that firearm could have saved dozens if the vest was real.

2.
> In this instance

And, for arguments sake, if this was a different situation where the vest was real, what would you say?
> And you know how the 3 laws turned out in Asimov's world...

Pretty well? If you're referring to the original book (and not the excellent Will Smith movie that deviated from the source material significantly but was extremely entertaining in its own right), the robots correctly surmised that humans lacked the wetware capacity for global-scale planning and took on that burden. The world at the end of Asimov's story is many things, but it isn't dying from an utterly avoidable climate change disaster because of a transcontinental tragedy of the commons.

(It is, of course, a fiction. But if we can't take away from the fiction "We should trust robots with global resource planning" without some critical thinking, we shouldn't take away "robots can never be trusted and will always betray humanity" without some critical thinking either).
I'm afraid that's not true. The 's particle comes from one of the many Old English genitive case endings, namely -es (no apostrophe of course).

Interestingly, this "his genitive" emerged as a backformation of this genitive ending in the 13th century, not only in English but in a few other Germanic languages as well, before dying out a few hundred years later in some of them.
You are mixing up Johanniter-Unfallhilfe and Johanniterorden. The Catholic counterpart to the Unfallhilfe is the Malteser-Hilfsdienst, founded in 1953. The St John's branch of the Order was established 1538.
And the most painful irony is this is getting down-voted by people who are likely convinced they're on the side of "helping the environment"...
Growth only happens upwards or outwards. Your post seems to suggest that Chicago still has both available, which is (pleasantly) surprising to me as I was under the impression that every major american city had hit the limit on outward growth (usually because the roads are clogged by traffic and there's no political will to build more trains, so nobody wants more farmland developed).
Interesting. Absolutely not needed in Ireland.
Once we all get old enough this will just be the crazy ramblings and no one will care. What the children are told and believe is true is what will be the truth.

Once we're all dead this won't even be an issue.

Maybe your old enough to remember a time when you could walk away and live somewhere without anyone from your old life being able to find you...I'm not.

Maybe you remember when "everyone" 15+ didn't have a constant connection to the internet or at least the police....I'm not.

Maybe you remember being able to go places alone as a child... I don't.

I remember being able to break school rules (running in the hall) and evade punishment because there was no way to prove it... these kids will not.

My great grandparents remember a time when going to another country didn't require the permission of your home country, when leaving your country meant you weren't a part of it anymore... I'd bet you do not.

--Edit (added conclusion)--
It seems like with each generation we become used to a little less freedom and a little more control. A little more comfort and a little less connection with the non man made world. Maybe this is how it's always been. Maybe it's just another by product of the agricultural revolution drawing us all closer together.
Same. Left because scrolling.

Rune Labs | Mobile and Backend Software Engineers | San Francisco or Remote | Full Time | https://angel.co/company/rune-labs/jobs

We founded Rune Labs to build the software and data backbone that will power the neuromodulation therapies of the future. We partner with medical device and pharma companies to accelerate development and delivery of transformative new therapies for Parkinson's Disease, Epilepsy, and Depression.

We are fresh off a Seed Round raise and looking to add top talent to our engineering team in the form of an additional backend engineer and a mobile engineer:

As Rune's second dedicated backend engineer, you will have the opportunity to work with a completely new kind of dataset. Our mobile app proxies data streamed from both DBS implants, as well as other sources of biomarker data, directly to our cloud platform. You will have a chance to work on APIs, distributed microservices, and data stores to facilitate entirely new ways of analyzing and treating the neural health of clinical trial patients.

As Rune's first dedicated mobile engineer, you will have the opportunity to create functional, intuitive, and delightful apps for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Experienced candidates will also help us bring our apps to Android and other health data wearables. The Rune app is adopted both by the general population of Parkinson's diagnosed patients, as well as by the leading neuroscience research groups in UCSF, Duke, Brown, Stanford, and University of Washington, to name a few.

We work closely with patients and researchers from our office in the inner sunset of San Francisco. Email me if you are interested in using software engineering to change the future of medicine for people with brain disease: brian@runelabs.io

If I recall correctly, he said 3 years on site, then 3 years remote, so six years total. But I do admit I was taken aback that he would call himself a "senior dev" after only six years out of school. Admittedly, however, after six years at one company, he's probably considered a senior contributor.

> Burner phones are mostly associated with criminal activity, so tying phones to identities feels like a legitimate function -- which many countries do. And if criminals are trying to register phones through identity theft, this seems like it would be an additional protection.

> If you're concerned with privacy, that's what encrypted communications are for...

That's all true, but the real question is: what exactly is "criminal activity?" That's how a policy can be made to seem legitimate on the surface, but can actually be quite sinister when examined more closely.

Policies like this one cannot be examined in isolation, and must be interpreted in context [1].

> If you're concerned with privacy, that's what encrypted communications are for...

I'm pretty sure that E2E encrypted communication products are de-facto banned in China, at least for private citizens [2].

Not a question so much as encouragement. I think a big unspoken benefit behind react and its ilk is the strong focus on concise readability. React hooks can be confusing to understand, but when used properly they are incredibly concise and readable. I think moxie is closest to doing this properly in rust, and as such I am watching it very closely. Awesome stuff.

Or we could not. Slippery slope arguments assume people make the worst choices, and there's no reason that's necessary.

Declare automated surveillance drones categorically unacceptable because of a hypothetical risk they could have weapons mounted on them and you get more people and animals killed unnecessarily.

PathAI is looking for engineers, managers, and security engineers/analysts to work toward detecting diseases like cancer faster and more accurately while paving the way toward personalized medicine.

I wrote a bit this past month about what it is we do, so you can better get a sense of the impact our work can have: https://twitter.com/mjacksonw/status/1191735008114987009

We're working with a modern stack using Python/Django/Flask/DRF, alongside a Vue-powered front-end. Services are containerized, and we do our best to have a great engineering environment alongside our regulatory and compliance efforts. We're a technology company working within healthcare, not a healthcare company trying to leverage technology. I wrote about what this means to us: https://twitter.com/mjacksonw/status/1090693541565734914

We're growing quickly, and we hope developers at any point in their career who have great software engineering chops and potential can find a great home here as well. You'll just want to make sure you have solid skills in python/django (on the back-end), vue/react (on front), or similar to be a decent fit.

Work alongside a diverse set of expert technologists, computational biologists, and computer vision scientists – if you're intellectually curious, it's an amazing environment to be in. We're well-funded with strong revenue, growth, and – most importantly – impact.

Check out our open positions at https://www.pathai.com/careers/.

>They’re going to build computers!

You know they're mostly software people, right?

That's actually irrelevant, though. Even if all three of them were Woz-level hardware hackers, that's no guarantee that they're bankable success. Being an impactful software or hardware company takes a team, and in the US at the moment that team is mostly about financial and legal work, not technical.

We've all seen that "best technical idea" does not usually equal "best business success"

I wish these folks well, and I'm sure their fans will enjoy following them, but people acting like this is a major thing for the whole tech industry are gonna be disappointed.

It appears that way from the outside, bit it's hard to say for sure.

Morales cut ties in response to Israeli actions in Gaza, cutting Israel off from Bolivia's lithium deposits. And now one of the first things the new government has done is reestablish ties, even before getting a lot of their interim government together.
I'm always a little shocked when I remember how rare spices used to be for much of the world. Even salt was a valuable commodity for an extremely long time.
What do you see as the alternative?
I’m not the person you asked, but I create throwaway accounts when commenting on sensitive topics so I don’t get harassed irl and since you can’t delete accounts on HN.
Doesn’t seem like a good bet for the long term. There’s no practical reason why modifying the DOM couldn’t be practically free. Especially if we can hint to the layout engine that we’re working in a well behaved subset. (Or the layout engine can detect such)
You can’t be serious. Their announcing their new venture in their personal blogs, not giving you a sales pitch. Try to be less self-centered?
Houses aren't great protection against homelessness because they don't address the root cause of being homeless: having no money or income. They can provide a buffer because it's harder to foreclose on a person than it is to evict them. While this additional time may certainly make a difference, in all likelihood the outcome of losing a job and not being able to find another one is probably the same.

You can't liquidate any built up equity either, since you probably need income or assets to get a rental or equity loan. So it's completely possible that you lose any built up equity in the event of a foreclosure too.
So as I mentioned somewhere in the wall of text, I'm fairly convinced that combining error diffusion with ordered dithering must already exist. It feels like such an obvious and fundamental idea to not have been discovered already at some point by one of the many, many people who have spent time implementing and tinkering with dithering algorithms.

So part of the reason why I submitted this was that I hoped that it would result in some feedback from people saying "oh yeah, that's actually pretty standard stuff, Knuth mentions it on page X", but maybe the topic is a bit too niche even for HN.
That reminds me of the fact that the Romans used lead as a sweetener in their water, which probably didn't help them out much, either...

No, but I thought about it. Is the game any good?
>Is there anything different about China’s behaviour as a superpower?

Yes! When Britain was colonizing the world it was not nearly universally agreed upon that colonialism was bad. Ditto for the USSR and US. China is trying to export a system of values that pretty much the entire developed world knows (and has plenty of examples to cite, some of them recent and close to home) lead to mass oppression and suffering.
