I am actually the cofounder of a healthcare company that works with sensitive patient data (vitals, symptom reports, messaging between patients and doctors, lab results, etc). In the process I have found that even HIPAA is not a protocol, it is a largely unspecific set of guidelines for how patient data should be stored and transmitted. If we were to publish a dataset with anonymized patient information (e.g. the Framingham Heart Study) we could probably do so without any legal ramifications - there isn't much in HIPAA that explicitly prohibits or denies using data that has been stripped of PII. However we would never do such a thing since pretty much everyone in our industry is extremely risk-averse.

The only relevant guideline I found on parking citation data was that it is unlawful to look someone else up by their license plate. However, it is entirely possible for someone to do so without detection. My primary concerns, however, were ethical concerns - there were many people for whom you could determine their place of residence, place of work, and financial situation by their license plate's inclusion in these data sets.

Great experience report: thank you! Wanted to point out that the Pants project has been focusing on widening that happy path recently (...by narrowing its focus to Python-only in the short term), and is ramping up to ship a 2.0.

This page covers some of the differences between v1 and v2 of the engine, and particularly its impact on Python: https://pants.readme.io/docs/pants-v1-vs-v2 ... We're using Rust and haven't bootstrapped yet, so we also appreciate Cargo and think that there is a lot to learn there.

We'd love feedback (via any of these channels: https://pants.readme.io/docs/community) on how to make it even better. Thanks!
We used German for everything in my undergrad courses. Germany seems to have its own proud CS culture, haha.

We have "Informatik" which comes in the flavours:

Theoretische Informatik, which is low-level Computer Science, think information theory.

Praktische Informatik, which is high-level Comouter Science, like programming language design and software architecture.

Angewandte Informatik, which is software development, like apps, databases etc.

Technische Informatik, which is computer engineering.

And then, of course, we have a never ending count of cross cutting CS degrees like: Medieninformatik, Bioinformatik, Wirtschaftsinformatik, Medizininformatik, etc.

This all has to be mentally moved into the right English equivalent and then translated.

That's a daytime video with a crappy camera at an abnormal-for-other-drivers angle. It's entirely reasonable for them to not be visible, both due to the low intensity difference and due to the angle not being what lights optimize for.

Also note all the cars that followed and clearly hit their brakes. They're invisible or nearly-invisible, except when they go through the overpass's shadow.

There is no evidence of this. Disruption doesn’t work solely for the sake of being disruptive. If anything it just disenfranchises people resulting in opposite outcomes.

Do you deal with fraud issues. My guess is not. "The fraudsters may adapt" is a complaint with almost all fraud fighting approaches - and yet many even older methods STILL have value even if fraudsters could work around them. Many fraudsters are using scripts and tools they don't even know how to modify but that circulate and are used. In person use has geo checks, so easy to avoid by using cards in a local area - but fraud prevention STILL picks up out of billing zip attempts at use.

So you'll be wrong here. And even a 6 month decline in fraud is highly valuable to any of these large scale players.
How would that claim work unless one is shown to have altered a public record provided by a court? I’d think such a claim would be dismissed upon as much as one review of discovery if it’s shown that you lawfully obtained the records and otherwise didn’t tamper with said records.

Edit: or am I thinking of libel?

Watershed | Product Engineer, Designer & Business Generalist | Onsite (Remote during shelter-in-place) | SF

Watershed is a software startup working to accelerate the fight against climate change. Businesses are a key actor in the transition to the zero-carbon economy and we give them the tools to execute on climate programs effectively. Our team worked on engineering & product at Stripe and are now applying that experience to climate.

We're hiring for:

* Product Engineer - https://watershedclimate.com/jobs/engineer

* Designer - https://watershedclimate.com/jobs/designer

* Business Generalist - https://watershedclimate.com/jobs/business

If you're interested in applying, email us at christian@watershedclimate.com

If you want to learn more about how we think, here's some of the readings that have inspired us so far: https://watershedclimate.com/reading-list
Criminal records are owned by the jurisdiction which served the case. These are governed by state and federal laws. You are also subject to severe defamation lawsuits and anyone contributing to this repo can be held personally culpable. This is not about copyright.

EDIT I'm not going to do your legal homework for you, but this is South Carolina, for example. As stated above, each of the 50 United States has various laws and regulations with regards to arrest and criminal records. Violate those laws at your own risk, but if a lawyer is not being involved in this project on an ongoing basis, I highly recommend anyone to avoid: https://www.scjustice.org/criminal-records-come-back-haunt-e...

That's just about respecting expungement (30 day notice must takedown). If you improperly record or transcode the data from the scrape and that results in someone being attributed to something that the record never showed, you are subject to full weight of defamation lawsuits. If you unwittingly expose someone's private information that is involved in witness protection, for example, you can be subject to legal and civil penalties: https://www.gsa.gov/reference/gsa-privacy-program/rules-and-...
That is exactly how I pictured the Affront!
Pascal turns 50 this year
That has no impact on what a private citizen can publish. If someone assaulted someone 20 year ago but legally got the record expunged you are absolutely allowed to publish full page newspaper ads every day talking about the assault.
As someone who has probably lost a day of each year roaming San Francisco looking for parking, I wholeheartedly agree with you that punitive measures are the only way to keep people from occupying limited parking spaces beyond certain limits. However, my qualm is with arbitrary citations like street sweeping, missing front license plates (some cars only have one on the back), and numerous other petty citations that the average tech worker has no problem paying off, while leaving the hospitality worker or small business owner in a state of bankruptcy after a single unlucky sequence of events.
Thanks. Appreciate the common sense, especially from someone who has a different good-faith opinion on the actual substance :)

Thanks for that first hand account of what it is like. Good to know.
Yeah, the list is great when you're working with other people that have also learned the list. We use it in emergency communications and it's definitely way less mentally taxing and less confusing all using the same alphabet.

I'd say at least half the time when I use it talking to some call centre employee I lose them about two letters in to whatever I'm trying to spell.

That said, if there was a great replacement that would probably be in use instead. It's not just a list of words that happen to start with those letters, it's a list of words that do not sound similar to each other, are unambiguous as to what letter they represent, and maintain those qualities in a wide variety of accents and dialects.
There is a lot of evidence for this occurring during the 1918 influenza pandemic. See https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/jul/22/pale-rider-lau...
Why should they have to "sustain themselves"? If an author wants to put their ideas out there, maybe they should pay for it themselves so they can have their own unmoderated space on the internet.

Authors that rely on advertising have an inherent conflict of interest: they simply won't write anything that offends the advertisers because they're afraid of losing their revenue. Sites like Reddit will nuke entire communities if they prove controversial enough not because they're offended by it but because it causes advertisers to refuse to associate with them. Activist groups can attack and censor anyone these days by putting pressure on advertisers and sponsorships and causing them to pull out.
That's not universally true. Android makes significant use of binary diffs for patching to reduce OTA upgrade sizes, for example. However they're not appropriate for all situations, and there's a bunch of legitimate reasons Apple may have chosen not to pursue this for kernel updates.

> I'd like to put the question to those HN members who work in tech: 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? How would you feel if people cheered this on, or called for your demise, suggesting that the world would be a better place without your work?

As someone with a humanities education (literature specifically) I feel like I've studied more than the average reader here about the particulars of famous printed works from the past. And that background says "bullshit" in response to your questions. Throughout history publishers have exploited authors mercilessly in an effort to keep ALL of the profit from their writing.

In short, the answer to your hypothetical question is quite simple. All of these people you're addressing have code, and have original ideas. You on the other hand are just a publisher, you don't have any original work at all. You're nothing but a middle man.

There are no more middle managers at toaster and television distributors in the developed world, sitting at desks filling out reports by hand and ordering fresh stocks of paperclips and staples. We got rid of those people when we modernized supply chains and in the process cut the prices of microwaves and televisions so that they're not luxury items anymore.

Similarly, there's not going to be any room for publishing middle men for very long either. If I were you I'd find a new line of work.
The reason you are deriving a meaningless statement is because “we won’t tweet again until we do” is a terrible synopsis of that tweet. How about "we suspend how usual operation until further notice"?

If tomorrow morning they were to comment a justification of their choice that would still be outiside of the normal rust-related news the account concern itself and thus allowed.

Treating languages as naive logic statements is doing a disservice to both language and logic.
Denver also, as of last year, encrypts its police channels, which makes any sort of outsider oversight impossible.
You are saying something identical to a sister comment that’s upvoted, just more bluntly, and are being downvoted, specifically:

“ MLK offered a non violent alternative to violence. He was a great leader, but he didn't succeed in a vacuum. He gave a peaceful political way to end the tension that, if ignored, would have continued to escalate in violence.”

I'm sorry but if you see a truck on its side and expect autopilot to stop and it doesn't you are 100% at fault.

And if you saw it on its side, why wouldn't you at the very least change lanes?

It's fun to bash on Tesla whenever autopilot fails but they do make it very very obvious and those of you saying otherwise either don't own a Tesla or really don't pay enough attention.

Why Socialists Love the Phrase “It's Not Real Socialism”
Lately I've been looking for data sets like this. I was hoping to do an analysis of citations, related to race, related to race of arresting officer, all against the backdrop of the racial profile of the county/city.

I have my preconceived notions of what I'd find, but I think it'd be better to let the data speak for itself.

My email address is just philip at mccarty at gmail, and I would be happy to talk to you on phone/skype/zoom so you can see if you feel comfortable with me using the data for that purpose.

Or we could find a way to anonymize the data, as the personally identifying information isn't necessary for my analysis at all.

This sort of problem can be generalized I think to a lot of software design problems, including the sort of things I'm assigned at work (even though very mundane and boring as I'm not a real software engineer).

People say "make a program that does <thing> for me". And maybe you whip up something that does 50%, or 80% or 99.5%. But that only makes them more unhappy when it fails. A partial solution is no solution.

So, you have to come up with a model for humans to be augmented by the software. Rather than trusting it to make the decisions, the software needs to take a large amount of data and clarify and distill it so humans can more easily make the decisions.

But people always want to avoid making decisions. That's why managers/leaders have so much power even though they tend to be despised and seem incompetent.

Those are much higher rates than I've seen quoted anywhere else. Intuitively, it seems surprising that with almost nine in ten people so affected, I should have been lucky enough not to have any loss of taste or smell at all among my own symptoms, or those of anyone I know who's also had the disease.

I don't doubt for a second the suffering of those affected by anosmia, or that it can be an effect of COVID-19. But I do doubt that the anosmia rate, and especially the rate of anosmia persisting long after other symptoms subside, is as high worldwide as it was in this one quite small cohort.
Speaking the language of reality a bit better pays off.

Try to frame learning more useful bits of math like that.

As a 5 day new Tesla driver playing with auto pilot you can just feel the thing is over worked. The road I live on HWY 36 in California was a joke on autopilot. Car can't do it has to slow well below speed limit. Every other turn it tries to drive off the road and gives up steering. Also roads with cracks that are black with pavement sealer confuse the car to no end. The car is color blind and the vision system gives it no time to react.
I wonder if Google could combat this by having every X search pages swap page 1 with, say, page 5? Or give users the option to jump straight to a given search result page by default?
