If police cars have the same data-collection systems as consumer cars, all phoning home to the GM/Ford mothership, then those police departments won't be able to "lose" data. A company the size of Ford isn't going to cooperate with some puny little police department in Arkansas or wherever in illegally destroying evidence.

I mean, shit, I work at a place where many of my favorite people have moved on to other things, few have been replaced, and yet we're only just having sincere conversations about how to fix our culture problems. That had to wait for one of the ringleaders to quit.

> The team found that persistent marijuana use was linked to a decline in IQ, even after the researchers controlled for educational differences. The most persistent users — those who reported using the drug in three or more waves of the study — experienced a drop in neuropsychological functioning equivalent to about six IQ points (PNAS, 2012). "That's in the same realm as what you'd see with lead exposure," says Weiss. "It's not a trifle."

That's because we don't have software, only humans, to detect when two different articles are about the same story. The humans take longer and only work some of the time.

Actually, if anyone knows how to write software to do that, I'd love to hear about it. It's not an easy problem.

By the way, submitters are supposed to do this work too. The guidelines ask: "Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter." This article was a clear case of one article reporting on another article. If you'd submitted the latter, then the software would have let you know it was a dupe.

An open API implies a certain intent of the author. If there is an open API to utilize some feature, that implies an expectation that others will use it and thus an expectation of a consistent interface version to version. If you're forced to go around monkey-patching the core framework, you can expect a moving target as there is no expectation of external users thus no motivation to maintain a consistent interface between versions.

So in this case, the core framework being exposed to javascript is evidence of the expectation of external users, thus it will likely not be a moving target. If you're modifying some software, you will greatly prefer programming to an API than not.

I'd agree the efforts have not cut off that kind of business 100% but they've been effective in reducing the amount of conflict business, as well as reducing their profitability making them do more work to put the items on the market.

Conflict diamonds and gold are a different market framework than electronics components though - those items in particular have much different and arguably more varied sales avenues that make them more difficult to stop. Electronics components have an inherent complex testing quality and fewer channels for markets to move through so should be easier to control on a regulatory basis.

I have 40+ ZWave+ devices and they work great with Home Assistant. From lights to fans to all kinds of sensors, the mesh network seems to have good range and latency (as long as your controller isn't really close to interference).

Definitely don't use older ZWave devices, only ZWave Plus certified ones. This ensures the network is fully encrypted and allows for greater range and throughput.

My next fun project is automating the watering of pots and the garden. Going to combine a ZWave-controlled solenoid with drip irrigation and some Home Assistant smart logic (daily rain, sun hours, humidity, temperature) to handle it.

I have to be honest, I hadn't messed around with Terraform before, but I've been working with Ansible/CloudFormation and Pulumi is just on another level. There are so many hacks you need to do to work around CloudFormation peculiarities, and separating stack creation and manipulation into two separate formats is frustrating at best.

Going to have to play around Pulumi more seriously when it's time to stand up more servers.

No, this is not a violation. It is a crime to enter India illegally, so detention cannot be considered arbitrary.

The single point of controversy is whether the Citizenship Amendment Act can omit a refugee on the basis of religion. The supreme court can issue a ruling on this and end the matter.
In your example it matters where did you get the $10 from? Your kids college account? It still really only matters when your friend fails to pay you back the next day.

> A very poor example on many levels.

I'd like to draw your attention to something. Notice how you've dropped a key idea that @adventskalender pointed out: "And once people see one of your arguments is shoddy, why should they give your other arguments the benefit of the doubt?"

I think this type of behavior is interesting, common, and potentially consequential.

> 1) This statement is fundamentally irrelevant to the (scientific) discussion, because it does not contain a scientific argument.

And yet, it is commonly repeated on a regular basis in the "scientific" discussion, despite not being technically true.

> It could be 0%, it could be a 100%, that wouldn't change the validity of any of the scientific arguments presented.

It changes the rhetorical/persuasive value of it though.

> Truth isn't measured in mass appeal.

Perception of truth is.

> the point that a consensus broadly exists in climate science is correct

Then say that, rather then falsely report the statistically tortured "97%".

> and there is support for the precise number of 97%. [0]

I see only more rhetorical support for the number, not mathematical support. Not that it matters really, just sayin'.

> But your point is also wrong: I am not a climate scientist, and the whole discussion can be followed with a bit of high school physics, chemistry and biology, plus Wikipedia to fill in the gaps. Your next point shows that you were unwilling to put in that effort, but it isn't actually that hard ...

It may not be hard to "follow it", but what does that expression mean, and what does it not mean. I'm fairly certain it doesn't mean understood at a level sufficient to form epistemically sound conclusions. Again, high marks for persuasiveness, but I don't find this line of reasoning convincing. But that's me.

To be clear: I say this not in dispute of the actual science of climate change, the axe I am grinding is related to the nature of the conversation around it. I am hoping some people might become more willing to consider the possible detrimental consequences of the way this topic is discussed.

Commodities are more trackable with detailed analysis then anyone might casually think. e.g. oil is a commodity but the signature of oil from certain regions is pretty visible by chemists, and one can force oil supply from trade restricted sources to at least try to mask the signature by mixing with other sources. Not perfect but you can raise the difficulty bar on commodity sourcing.

If you can't read someone's resume without rejecting them based on age, gender, marital status, education or lack thereof, or for their non-sw work history, then it sounds like you're not a very good person to be interviewing candidates. The concept of "unconscious bias" might be true in an academic sense, but in a very real way you should be treating people with respect regardless of their characteristics, especially during an interview process. Not reading someone's resume isn't just rude, it's supremely disrespectful.

I take a completely different approach, because I have been on the receiving end of disrespectful interviews and I won't stand for it and I don't expect the candidates I interview to accept it either. I carefully read the resume and research the candidate far in advance to the interview. I only ask questions during the interview which are open-ended, not trivia questions, and are directly related to either the content of the candidate's resume or things we're actually doing day-to-day on my team.

The dog and pony show interview style is intensely disrespectful and so is the idea that you won't even read a candidate's resume. I've walked out of interviews where both have happened, and I hope everyone on HN gets the personal confidence to do the same. I'm a professional, I expect to be treated like a professional, and I return that by treating those I interview like professionals. End of story.
To dang and the other moderators, can you think of a way to auto-penalize effectively contentless/empty anti-Javascript comments?

Imagine this kind of comment for any other language, C, Python, Ruby, Rust, Scheme whatever. It would be downvoted to death. And yet people still make & upvote these comments about JS despite JS being the most popular language, run on the most devices & having a massive community of people fixing its warts and modernizing JS.

There are still valid critiques of JS but they have nothing to do with Al Pacino or Bruce Willis. Please spare us, or if you want to criticize Javascript, learn something about Javascript in 2019 & criticize that.
Got to cover all of the bases in case someone gets offended. Can't have that happening in these trying times!

Personally I’m all for increased protection in an OS, the old model of users having permissions no longer works. You can’t trust your users, they don’t know what they are running when they install software. This new model of each “app” having permissions is far more sensible, more of that please!

Increasingly buried underneath all the big talk about privacy and the blog spam, is the fact that Cliqz also is an advertising company: https://cliqz.com/en/magazine/press-release-cliqz-introduces...

They've literally resurrected the ad-riddled browser toolbar: https://myoffrz.com/en/

My bet is spinning off their own browser has nothing to do with anything but fear the browser vendors, Firefox and Chrome alike, will start blocking their real money maker.

This is not even a new strategy. Other companies have tried similar tricks over the years too, though most of them went with Chromium forks instead for their spy/adware laden wares.

Frankly, it's disappointing to see this even on here, but I don't blame anyone for it; they are really working hard to sugar up the pitch here.
I'm saying I'm skeptical of doorbell cameras leading to a V for Vendetta like fascist state, the same way I'm skeptical of machine learning applications leading to Skynet. I'm saying that the "techno-literate" crowd likes to see themselves as informed and skeptical, and yet they show a willingness to wholeheartedly believe in the dystopic futures of science-fiction and comic books the same way cultists see signs of the apocalypse in news reports.

There are reasons to worry about incursions into our privacy by corporations and the government. I'm not convinced Ring doorbells qualify.

It's a niche, but I doubt if it's viable. The segment of people who care enough about privacy to pay for it (VPN or Fastmail/Protonmail for example), is likely to overlap with the segment of people who claim they could reverse-engineer your solution with a Raspberry Pi over a couple of weekends.
It’s all good. But it doesn’t make sense that the employer can choose to get a tax benefit. Every employee/person should have this tax benefit available no matter what the employer does. Your employer still can subsidize this, no problem.
It serves those who wish to paint the Fed as totally irresponsibly flooding money into financial assets. Why? Because they think it serves whatever axe they have to grind. Anti-Wall-Street? Anti-Fed? I suspect the former, given the publication, but I'm not sure.

Using a location before the words "man" or "woman" implies that the man or woman is from that location.
