Sorry, but you are the one who completely misunderstands the law and the USA's system of government. Congress is the ONLY branch of the government which gets to shape the boundaries of constitutional law. You say it yourself in your second paragraph: Congress has plenary power to shape the boundaries of constitutional law via amendments. The judiciary only has power when the legislature has not spoken, and that power should, theoretically, be constrained to mapping the smallest contours of the constitution because delineating the shape of the boundary is Congress's domain (some would say it is their most important duty, which they have neglected for the past half century).
Also very different in that most of 4chan is right-wing or far-right nowadays, largely due to /pol/. Most of the site's posters are supportive of the police in this instance, and sees the response and civil unrest as "anti-white rhetoric and violence perpetrated by liberals and black people". Many believe Floyd deserved to be killed.

(There are still some more moderate and reasonable bastions in some boards, but most boards are thoroughly infected by /pol/.)

"Anonymous" has been disconnected from its origins for well over a decade now.
The urgency in that correction slip is amusing (Imperative! Urgent! A ghost word!), considering how inconsequential of a mistake it is.

For some people everything is urgent. Everything.

It's part of the reason that web pages because so unusable. Every single lower middle manager thinks their change is the most important thing in the world.
I tend to think search results could benefit from a little bit of curation.

For example, when I search anything HTML, CSS or Javascript related, W3Schools manages to be the top link in many of the cases.

While W3Schools is fine, I guess... I have to ask if they truly represent the best result for my search query.
I can't decide whether this was done for the lulz or to make the police look incompetent. Maybe both?
It's clearly not "new", at least.
Excellent logic vsareto. It's hard to verbalize what you have done here so well...which is why they choose this weird phraseology to begin with. Netflix told me that I was complicit in this same way yesterday--so I canceled my subscription. Goodbye Netflix!
Aha, I want a lot from weather apps. I am a weather app developer, for what that's worth. I expect a lot because the current state of weather data communication and accuracy is a disaster. There is a lot of work to do to improve forecasts, and when a company steps up to say they will do it, I expect a lot out of them.

I also take major issue with the claim that they provided reasonable forecasts. I think their forecast accuracy was extremely low in many cases and fares very poorly when put against competitors: https://theoutline.com/post/3826/crap-weather-apps-meteorolg...

Edit: "The scam" is that they exaggerated accuracy claims without backing it up.
Thanks for this idea!
Is there a demo somewhere? I'd like to see what the forecast is for my location before signing up for an API which I may or may not use..
>How would you feel if someone took your output without permission, whether it's designs or code or something else unique and hard to make?

While I'm somewhat ambiguous about this IA matter, the example you bring up is rather unconvincing on HN.

I, just like many other fellow users here, publish our code (both end product and tools) to public, and to organizational, Git repositories.

We have structured our work and our contracts with customers to get paid for the services rendered[1], not the number of zeroes & ones (nor files nor LoC nor other incidental artifacts). It's not only doable, it's also the arrangement closest to fair & morally right we have found so far.

I would love for these "voting IDs are necessary" people to actually spell out the 'attack' that they envision without voter IDs.

You have to be registered to vote in the US, so the thought is that they could show up to a voting precinct and pretend to be someone else and vote since you won't have an ID checked? It's not like the people there would let you do that more than once.. and they cross off people who have already voted, so you could only fraudulently vote for people who won't ever show up.. and you would have to drive to other precincts and know the names of people registered to vote but who won't vote that day for it to scale at all..

Just completely nonsensical.
How does the saying go? Something like "A jury is filled with the people who weren't smart enough to figure out how to get out of jury duty."
> You do not use violence in a democratic protest.

Tell that to the police. The current "don't use violence" rhetoric is cleverly being aimed at the protestors and seems to be giving a consistent pass to the other side's behavior. In many cases, these guys are suited up like shock troops, visibly excited and ready to bust skulls, and when they're unleashed they are going to find skulls (peaceful or not) to bust. This is a system that only knows how to use violent escalation to solve problems, and lo and behold, they're out there bringing on the violence. The protests are about police brutality, and the police are coming in and using the only tool they know: brutality. But it's OK because someone somewhere else is burning down a Target?

> To use it is effective acknowledgement that you either want to destroy the democracy or do not believe that it actually exists on the moment.

From your wording you seem to be agreeing that the police also "want to destroy the democracy".
Second that. Before arch, my desktop linux experience ended with me breaking the system and not having a clue on recovery (a few attempts at slackware and one attempt of debian).

Arch's install process hit the right balance of me knowing how various low level components work together (bootloader, kernel, xserver) and overwhelming me with LFS.

I did eventually migrate to ubuntu LTS server + awesomewm for a few reasons:

* at the time I was using dozens of AUR packages (ROS) that depended on boost and some other libraries, which made each update a several hour endevaour of re-compiling those packages,
* the latest and greatest versions of each package got painful, as something I was working on relied on older versions of those packages (might be some codebase that needed particular gcc version or something like that).

However, I am forever grateful for the things I learned during the few years of me using arch.
Landmrk | React Developer | Remote | Full Time | Contract 3-6 mo to hire

We're a location based marketing startup: we've worked with some of the biggest brands, music labels and artists and launched global campaigns using our bespoke platform. We are looking to bolster our team in the short term to help deliver a fantastic project we've recently acquired funding for.

We're looking for someone with strong React skills, comfortable building PWAs and all things front end. Bonus points if you've ever got down and dirty with Ruby on Rails, likewise if you've worked with popular mapping libraries.

You'll be working with the CTO (that's me) and closely with the rest of the Landmrk team and our partners on this exciting new project.

Reach out to me at chris@landmrk.it - CVs are useful but not essential, Github profiles always good, but at least a short summary on your current/previous role and expertise would be great, along with any examples of your work in the wild.

https://landmrk.it
I somehow agree with Musk that a self driving car should be able to work with only cameras, as humans do with their eyes.

If there are 2 cameras, depth can be calculated ( eg. 2 eyes) and Tesla is in the best position to achieve this ( lots of data).

Additional sensors make the system way more complex and most of them have the same issue: it doesn't work in the worst weather conditions.

They should however greatly check why the system failed and how they can improve depth vision with their cameras. The failing of the system in broad daylight is a severe issue/fault.

And I'm sure they will improve this.

Until full auto pilot, which is still a long way to go, the AutoPilot is driver assistance and driver's should be aware.
Engineering is the resource you apply when you want to scale, as Google always does. The engineering they already have is doing the work of thousands (or perhaps orders of magnitude higher) of customer support people.

Paying people to manually scrub data is possible, but extremely expensive at scale. I assume that the folks in charge of the business are looking at the numbers very carefully to see what justifies that kind of very expensive personnel investment and what doesn't. Also, I suspect that a lot of people will be angry that they have to pay to correct Google's mistakes, especially if their competitors don't. That's not the kind of business model I'd want to be involved in.
That makes sense for IT networks, annoying as it may be. But the article makes it clear they lost quality leaders as well, and the CEO should have fully understood and appreciated the impact that would have.
I was just reading that they design the rocket so that one engine could explode without affecting the others (hopefully) and they test the engines by dropping a nut or bolt or something in, which is not something rocket engines normally can tolerate.
Can you elaborate, regarding your last paragraph?
What annoys me about this is that even the TSA is being coy about things.

> Adult passengers 18 and over must show valid identification at the airport checkpoint in order to travel.

No. What is happening here is "must show proof of residency/citizenship, or definitive exclusionary proof (foreign passport with tourist visa, etc.".

Apropos of the validity of the argument of "should undocumented people/immigrants be required to prove residency to travel domestically", which is and can be a separate debate, couching it behind "some states IDs don't meet federal requirements" is disingenuous.
And those people with the wrong skin color can just go to that other restaurant that will accept them. This restaurant is a private establishment and we have rules!
Yeah, probably. The use case is keeping the plane stable in a big empty space.

I don't think civilian air planes have any collision avoidance radar, because as late as 2006 we get mid air collisions like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gol_Transportes_A%C3%A9reos_Fl...
Can't radar and cameras augment each other and help to solve false positives? I just don't understand, it's pretty simple thing to notice, humans can solve it with vision only. It doesn't need to label what it is exactly, it just needs to understand that there's something, and it's probably not a good idea to plow in it full speed. I'm very positive about what Tesla is doing overall but this issue seems to be unresolved for years, and the way they handle these cases information-wise is also bad.
> A platform that chooses what is “right” and “wrong” is a platform that oversteps the their authority and breaks the bond between itself, the internet and its users. We don’t have to go too far in history to see what happens when a platform, body of people, are given that level power.

Ah, the old slippery slope argument. Whether or not Twitter has a responsibility to fact check tweets, they absolutely have a right to do so.

Its too bad the author didn't give some examples to back up this boldly stated opinion
I think his issue is with the IA unilaterally deciding that they can chose that they want to simply ignore the authors rights to get compensated for their work at any moment they want.

And I totally understand his frustration. It's one thing to have pirating websites that have always distributed copyrighted material illegally. But for IA to decide that they only play by the rules when they want to is different imo. Not only is it bait and switch but it's also just weird to pretend to follow the law when you don't.

Imagine your boss deciding that you just won't get compensated for a few months because they decided to give away for free the software you worked on. If IA wanted to give away other people's work , it's still up to them to foot the bill.

It's not even that I'm totally against piracy, it's just that when I pirate I realize I'm not compensating the author and that if I like the stuff I'll try to do that later. Even the cracking scene tries to put notices on the torrents that if you like what you downloaded, consider supporting the creators.

With how IA presents it's whole program, there's no way to explicitly know that the authors have had no say in the emergency library beforehand and that they don't get compensated . IA looks benevolent but the authors don't.
Assuming this works without major regressions, this is a fantastic step forward for OCaml, opening it up to use cases that require parallelism.
"Is a passport my only other option if my driver's license or state ID is not acceptable?

No. TSA accepts and will continue to accept other forms of identity documents"

https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification

Misleading title.
Wouldn't say it's an exception; the scenes from the battle and the aftermath still look pretty planar to me. Similarly, the battle with Borg over Earth, while not completely flat, had ships orbiting the Borg cube more-less along a plane.

The Dominion Wars in DS9 had been both the best and the worst, sometimes in the same battles. I remember the confrontation when the Federation fleet tried to punch through a Dominion blockade to DS9. Yes, they were saved by the Klingons arriving off-plane (and with the local star behind them, reminiscent of a WWI/WWII fighter tactic), but other than that, the battle was terribly planar and terribly crowded.

Star Trek has IMO nailed most narrative, but I wish they'd remake combat scenes with a little better, and more 3D, choreography. Leave the FX the same, though; IMO the TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT style of weapons was the best in the whole series, and the best in "soft sci-fi".
If by "made the Internet a safer and more efficient system" you mean "a non-stop barrage of Pinterest results", sure.
Complementary to this handbook, if you maintain one or more debian servers it is useful to learn and adopt a configuration management tool -- assuming you are not already using another state management technique that gives you even more control.

The time invested to learn and automate repetitive configuration or admin tasks (upgrades, installing dependencies, deploying a new version of your app, etc) through ansible and ansible-playbook pays for itself pretty fast. For common tasks there are often high level modules that provide a simple declarative interface to non-interactively configure the desired state compared to using the underlying command line tools directly. E.g.. installing/upgrading packages with apt: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/apt_module.h...

Who made a credible direct and explicit threat?

That said. In person you can tell a threat better. Online it’s very hard to discern what’s what. On reddit otherwise nice people will say rather nasty things that they don’t actually mean and will not act on. It will take time, generations, for this to suss out. Psychologically it’s quite different.

I am not a pacifist. But I think there is something to be learned from them. You have to believe that in the long run good arguments will win over poor ones. That said, in life nothing is sure.

No, but I know there is no perfect answer or one that works in all circumstances. Yet, I feel that allowing political censorship is dangerous. All kinds of “isms” love controlling speech, especially political speech. It’s dangerous to find comfort in that corner.
> lots of other adaptive cruise control systems don't try to look for stationary objects at all

At highway speeds they tend not to [0] since slamming the brakes at perceived stationary objects (signs on the side of the road, cars veering in front of you, etc.) might be even more dangerous. Maybe the next generations of (reasonably priced) hardware will reliably detect such objects in the path of the car.

P.S. Of course it's not an excuse, it's an explanation for why this happens.

Scientists shed light on growth of black holes
Nobody's getting any "freebies" here. Dallas PD has as many or more tools to use in this scenario as they would have before practically everybody carried a video camera around with them. If cops have no duty to protect the public, as the Supreme Court has ruled, citizens have no duty to make their job easier unless legally compelled by subpoena. This is just forcing them to do actual police work, rather than trying to get protesters to do it for them.
Interesting argument. Why doesn't a plane fly like a bird? Why don't we have submarines that swim like fishes?

(for the sake of clarity, yes I'm being sarcastic to demonstrate how stupid that argument is. Humans have eyes but also got a brain that is way more powerful than any AI that we have today)
In some cases redundant software is developed independently by different teams to the same spec; I think I read about that with the Space Shuttle.

Actually is de demon, unfortunately not good alternative
With those kinds words I feel like could reach for the farthest unknown places of space. A never ending thank you for those kind words. And a big thanks for even looking at it, it means a lot to me.
I disagree. I have never voted along party lines. I know there are stupid and insecure people who feel the need for echo chambers, like minded social groups, and other diversity destroying functions. That isn’t me or most people I know.

The more institutions gravitate towards factionalism, populism, or consolidation the less I trust them. I don’t need political parties to represent me. I am fully capable of forming my own opinions. I only need political parties to represent a diverse candidate pool and put pressure on other political parties.
Please don't do baity things in titles. Make the title factual and neutral and tell people what it is that they're looking at. It can be good to add a first comment to the thread, also factual and neutral, to give additional context.

Edit: it looks like we've had to ask you this before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23263421. Did you not see that one?
Searches on highly-specific/technical terms often fail for me. Also, for programming, I often get spammy sites instead of more "official" sources. For your example, the while loop in python, I would expect the official python resource to be first. I find this even worse in other languages.

I would prefer not to see W3Schools, Tutorialpoint or GeeksForGeeks to be so highly ranked. This problem is even worse when I search for ML stuff, with pages upon pages of Medium blogspam.
In what case would you use the Global Entry ID card over a passport?

EDIT: Thanks for the replies everyone, TIL! Will have to see if TSA can use my GE ID card to lookup my boarding pass (like they can do with a driver's license, passport, or DoD CAC) next time I fly.
This always depends on context if parallelizing anything actually helps with performance but my most common usage of F# (essentially Ocaml on .net) parallel features are using the .net parallel library[1]. Easy way to introduce parallelized loops into your processing if what you're doing is heavy enough to warrant them. In my particular usage this was used for data transformations that were heavy enough to warrant the parallelization overhead.

My experience with Accenture is that you start with two blokes from Accenture in your team as fellow consultants and before you know there are 10 Accenture people without knowing what they are doing. On some projects I worked with them you had test teams in Manilla which just didn't do anything so you ended up doing all testing too.
This is the discussion I wanted to have, rather than being downvoted.

I actually agree with you, but given that the article was posted by mwseibel, I wanted to see what everyone's thinking was. Just because he's a significant YC partner doesn't mean he knows/has authority over HN. It's a valid discussion to have.

But what's the appropriate line? A hard line with no room for interpretation, even in significant events? Where does Coronavirus land in that then? It certainly affects tech/hacking, but it definitely is being tainted by politics and belief structures. Are the only valid articles ones that talk about remote work?

Similar thing related to civic action. Keeping politics out of HN is a good rule, but man, that line is never going to be discrete.
When traveling (not currently) I started carrying and using my Global Entry card after managing to lose my license between the curb and security a couple years ago.

Six months from now, is the average white American small business owner going to be more or less likely to hire a black person? That's the fucked up shit that is going to last another decade.

I thought the whole point of americans not having anything like an identity card, is that they don’t want to be tracked by the government, freedoms, liberties and all that.
