Perhaps last year, when I was trying to resolve some broadband issues with Virgin Media, I had to recite my account password over the phone in order to pass the security check....

Thankfully I don't share passwords across accounts, so only had to update that one!

I don't mind if someone forks NodeTube and has a more permissive TOS but for this main node I want it to be pretty family friendly yknow just because it's really a proof of concept for the devs of the world at the moment a bit more than a filesharing site. And hey no problem.
I guess there is more nuance to what you are trying to say but it is not far from saying we need to design our systems so that the minority can suppress the genuine will of the majority while they indoctrinate them to think different.

This is where culture and tradition should play a role in my view - if we foster a liberal culture and encourage our children to adopt this culture we can keep what those that came before us paid the blood price for.

If we on the other hand encourage our children to take the power of government to compel their follow citizens to do what they want them to do and adopt the morals they want them to adopt then I think no amount of government censorship of speech will save us from tyranny and dystopia.
If anyone ever wonders how Google justifies those multi-million-dollar golden parachutes when high-valued employees leave the company, here's a case study in how.

Google employs good engineers and politically powerful people. There are consequences for a company that does that when they lose the trust of those individuals.

The difference is that tiny little villages/hamlets of the sort that I drove though in Northern Norway would definitely not be 20 or 30 zones in the UK.

You might see a 40 or 50 limit. 30 zones are generally reserved for places that are fairly built up.

Nitpicking, but you do need to show your passport when exiting the Schengen Area (to which France is a part of)
"In Canada, the national conviction rate is about 97%. This does not include cases in which the charges are dropped, which comprise about one-third of criminal cases. Absent Quebec, the province with the lowest conviction rate, the figure is 99%"

"In Japan, the criminal justice system has a conviction rate that exceeds 99%, including guilty plea cases. This has been attributed to low prosecutorial budgets impelling understaffed prosecutors to bring only the most obviously guilty defendants to trial."

I have some cameras that are offline (no cloud integration, no internet connection) and when looking to buy a spare I noticed that all the newer and otherwise identical models only work with cloud integration. No ONVIF, no RTSP. Forcing the user's hand into sending all data into their cloud for very little convenience gained, if any.
Lack of courage to stand up to the manager might be the case sometimes. But sometimes it's also just realizing that it is futile because they are not open to it hearing it.

I remember one meeting where I watched an engineer make a good faith effort to estimate time honestly and accurately, they said the number, and then the manager came back with a time period about half as long.

In that situation, the manager and engineer viewed the discussion in completely different, incompatible ways. The engineer saw it as a process of attempting to find the answer to a question about the world. The manager saw it as a negotiation. It looked like the engineer was frustrated with the manager for trying to treat facts as negotiable. And the manager was frustrated at the engineer for not being aggressive enough.

I'm not sure what the solution is. I'm sympathetic to the manager in a way because there is a natural tendency to ask for lots of time. Why wouldn't you, if you can get it?
Prosecutors make mistakes everywhere because they are human and have all of the negative traits which go along with that. With due process requirements this normally leads to dismissal of the charges or acquittals. In Japan it apparently leads to soft core torture to coerce a confession which can guarantee a conviction.

Teach everyone you know few simple rules:

1. Never provide anyone any information on a call you receive. If you receive a call, go wit the expectations that it is a scam/spam. If it seems genuine, you call them back using a number from their website. Don't call back on a number provided by the caller.

2. Don't pick up unknown numbers.Let them leave a voicemail.

3. Most Govt. orgs or banks will not call you to request personal information over phone at least in the United States.

4. There are common scams/spams including Windows/Tech Support, IRS, You have won a vacation scam etc. Don't ever believe those. They are always a scam.

5. Never ever click/download a link/attachment on an email that you are not sure about.

6. Teach everyone how to read email headers if possible to verify the sender. It is too easy to spoof the from name/email. Fun fact: my wife recently received emails from ME (obviously not) asking her to wire money for some urgent need. lol. But she almost fell for it and I was shocked. The reason was email spoofing. I immediately showed her how to check the headers.

Most importantly, teach your parents or other non tech savvy friends/family to never trust anyone over the phone or email even if it seems like someone they know. Always be suspicious. It is ok to do so.

Oh and as the tax season approaches, the IRS scammers will be out in full force. Make sure that everyone knows IRS NEVER CALLS you especially to ask for money. IRS will always send you a registered letter in mail, always.
> At Pivotal, an iteration is a week and it doesn't make any sense to make it longer than that.

It might. For example, if your team is distributed (eg development in the Pivotal office, infrastructure in the client office), you might prefer to have retros once every two weeks, rather than either drag the infrastructure people across town every week or have retros remotely.

On some projects i anchored, we had planning meetings twice a week, because planning went more slowly, relative to development, than usual, due to complexity of features, multiple stakeholders, etc. We still had retros once a week. Was our iteration one week or half a week?

The truth is that iterations don't really exist. You have planning meetings at some frequency. You have retros at some frequency. You have client liaison meetings at some frequency. You may have various other meetings at various other frequencies. Sometimes the frequencies are the same, but it doesn't mean anything.
I would like to apply, but there is no email posted here and the website contact form is giving me errors each time I try to submit something.

Maybe roll down your window and say something instead of blaring your horn at people who aren’t encased in a car. Although I am not sure why you think you have a right to teach strangers a lesson.
The fact that these seat belt alarm stoppers have integrated bottle openers really seals the deal.
The business with the SEC was entirely reasonable — and he has settled with them. It would make a lot of sense to handle this dispute in the boardroom, first. It makes plenty of sense to handle this with the SEC or a similar regulatory agency.

It is much less defensible to invite the national news media to his arrest, lock the man up without access to his lawyers for months on end, and then go on a fishing expedition to find some reason to justify the arrest after the fact. Besides the routine abrogation of justice in Japan, of which this is only a minor instance, this practice takes a situation which might risk appearing corrupt and politically motivated, and doubles down on the politics and the appearance of corruption.
It reminds me of USBkill https://github.com/hephaest0s/usbkill

Maybe a decade or so ago this would be a good answer. But unless you're one of those ThinkPad people who are still pulling for the X220 to make a come back.... A majority of modern laptops don't have user removable batteries.

Yes, they could still be removed in some cases, but its often not for the feint of heart and not something many people would want to undertake.
Interesting!
Now I'm interested if there has been one usage case for the single bit spinlock in practice. It seems appropriate if writes aren't too numerous (well leaving aside speed concerns).
Or a case where std::mutex was too large?

Yoshie Shiratori had the same problems with forced confessions in the 1930s when he was first imprisoned and supposedly major steps were steps were taken to remediate these problems back in 1948.

Sounds like the problems are deep-rooted & systemic.

You know in my futuristic hallucinations i always come up with this search solution that truly knows you (in an abstract way) from your day to day electronics interactions, that could bring you the exact result of your searches, much like when you know your data and your are writing sql joins to bring you exactly what what you want. I hope someone build that someday.
Reference implementation almost exclusively refers to behaviour and not performance.

For example reference implementations of JSRs have very very rarely been usable/used in production.

Yes, that's absolutely the crux of the problem here.
I do think well-functioning development processes & teams, with good integration with business is something every company wants, but very few companies are willing to pay for, and most just cannot accept that they're opting out of what they claim they want by not paying enough, so they try to get it anyway.

Why's it expensive? I think people who are capable of building and managing such teams, and dragging organizations into a set of processes that truly work, exist at a rate of about 1/1000 the demand for them. Meanwhile the people who can discern useful practices from useless ones or good implementation from bad are similarly rare and overlap largely with that same group, leading to an ecosystem of development practices that's almost entirely snake oil and wishful thinking, and where almost no-one can tell when they're looking at one of those 1/1000 folks who've got the knowledge and skills to make it work if you give them the authority, or some delusional schmuck or huckster.

The best most companies can do is to learn to live with a ton of uncertainty and work humanely and effectively with that, and few achieve even this lesser outcome, which tends to come with its own (lower) costs in hours and less-than-ideal predictability that many orgs just can't accept they have to pay to keep things running even sort-of smoothly.
I have heard in a podcast of a case where police would wait the 23 days, let you out, and then immediately bring you back in on a "new" charge.
There are a couple takes on this I have read (Note; Going to japan to visit the peace museum is still on my bucket list.)

https://japantoday.com/category/crime/japan-guilty-until-pro...

https://www.vox.com/world/2015/12/13/9989250/japan-crime-con...

There was a video documentary I watched some time ago and hopefully someone can find the name because I cannot. It basically went on to describe that in japan they would only file murder charges on suspects when they knew they could get a conviction.

Otherwise the police would just file the death as an accident or something. The other thing it went into is how the yakuza would basically act as a un-official police force. Basically the proper police would let them exist as long as they kept the criminal element inline. It was a cool documentary, really hope one of you gets a neuron spark and can tell me the name.

My take as someone who wants to visit:
Seems like most legal issues you read about -with people visiting japan- is they do stupid things drunk or they get into fights. It's a nation where five year old kiddos ride public transportation alone. I think they just have zero tolerance for stupid anti-social behavior.
Yes, it would panic when the copy reached outside the bounds of the buffer.

>Still not sure why they don't have more pedestrian catwalks in cities directly above the roads.

>"The US..."

Except laws or strongly enforced social norms surrounding homosexuality, race, etc are universal in the human experience and not unique to the US.

Alcohol arguably does "harm someone else" when the alcoholic comes home and beats his family in a drunken rage, or when they lose their livelihood and cannot support their family anymore. It was these real issues affecting people other than just the drinker that the prohibitionists were confronting.

Moving my grandmother into an assisted living facility stopped all the scam calls.

I understand that’s not an option for everyone. But no amount of education, new devices, etc are going to solve this issue past a certain age/cognitive decline.
We just got our 8yo son a Nintendo Labo kit to go with his Switch. I was skeptical about it, because anything with VR or AI or ML in the promotional material has the potential to be mostly hype. But I was amazed watching him build and use the kits.

If you're not familiar with it, the Labo is a series of cardboard devices that you build, which hold your switch and controllers and turn them into a VR setup. For example, you build a blaster and play a VR game where you shoot aliens from a few different virtual worlds. Or you build a bird with wings that flap, and then you fly around with other birds looking for eggs to hatch. Along with that, you build a foot pedal that makes you fly faster, which also fans you so you feel more air rushing by your face as you fly faster.

The first time I tried it, I spent about 5 minutes shooting at aliens all around me. I was laughing and jumping when the boss alien leaped into the air and came down over my head. When I took the headset away from my face, I was amazed to find myself back in my own house.

It's amazing to me that people at Nintendo built a VR kit around a device that, as far as I know, was never intended to be a VR device. It's been really satisfying watching our son build his own setups, rather than just using a manufactured plastic device. He's having so much fun with it, and he's learning so much from it as well. He sees what the screen looks like in VR mode when it's out of the VR kit, which has led to interesting conversations around concepts like raytracing.

If you're not ready to jump into an Oculus setup and you already have a switch around, I highly recommend trying out one of the Labo kits.
I think the US and Canada are the exceptions rather than the rule. (Because of course they charge people for a transit visa)
Believe me, I'm not arguing for legislating behavior and there's no shortage of hypocrisy when it's been done.
It would be more fair to say "the Japanese court system presumes guilt and treats everyone like inhuman garbage, even rich folk."

There was a fun incident in the UN where an ambassador from Japan made a remark that Japan's justice system was modern and exemplary. Everyone in the room just laughed at him. (He got upset, and told everyone to shut up, and then got fired for his outburst.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYfHWsWJhtg

Welcome to the modern Drug War: Prohibition 2.0
I'm in the US, which also allows cars and peds to share a "green" in the same direction. I regularly have cars nearly run me over when they turn left/right while I'm in the crosswalk with a valid crossing signal. The problem, in the US, is that drivers don't give a shit about anybody but themselves. They are completely self-centered.

If there were penalties for hitting pedestrians or cyclists, this might change. I presume Germany has stricter enforcement of rules with regard to vehicle/ped/cycle interaction. In the US, there is almost none. Hitting a pedestrian or cyclist is almost always deemed an accident, with no fault assigned (or, if fault is assigned, a $200 fine is the result, not loss of driving privilege).
The kernel version of the information center is irrelevant.

I don't understand why confessions are admitted as evidence at all. Anyone can confess to anything. It's only valuable if it leads to concrete evidence, i.e., "I did it and the body is buried in the wall with the cursed beating heart."

I do the same when I am on my bicycle as long as there are no cars approaching. Particularly if I'm crossing a moderate speed highway. It's safer for me to clear the intersection when there are no cars moving in the same direction (or worse, wanting to make a right turn as I start moving). Unfortunately, I'm in America, where that is a moving violation in my state.
Hi bavell thanks for the feedback. The codebase itself is pretty robust in my opinion but the documentation it sparse at the moment, it's still very much in its infancy as an OS project, I mean a bunch of really cool features that are built in are not even mentioned at the moment because I haven't had time to get to it yet. So hopefully we can get that documentation to a point where developers feel happy to fork and join in the development, that is the big goal, but thanks for your feedback!
