You're not in a race with the voter since if you guess wrong and the person you were counting on to not vote, shows up to vote after you (or even before you, it doesn't matter) -- then the game is up and there will be an investigation into the felony you just committed when two identical names show up.

You have to be certain that there won't be two votes cast by the same person, so you can see how your probability of not being found out rapidly goes to 0. Even if you rely on the 60% turnout figure, after 3 fraudulent votes you're at a ~6% chance of not being caught.
> Orion doesn't have the necessary docking adapter.

NASA actually enforced a standard docking systems for all capsules: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Docking_System . In theory it's androgynous so it might even be possible to dock capsules to each other.

Orion is extremely heavy (26 tons fully fueled) so it would need a Falcon Heavy or D4 Heavy. This would make it very expensive.

It's also politics: since the early 2010s SLS has been the only "supported" vehicle for Orion thus tying the two programs together.
No, that's racist violence, not political violence.

It doesn't have to be burning homes for arson to have potential to kill. Burning a Target can easily kill someone too.

And, "it hasn't kill anyone yet" is a pretty weak counter to the claim that arson can be violence. In fact, people do die from arson. The fact that nobody has - yet - in these protests does not change that whatsoever.
So glad you were able to articulate what I've been feeling for years. Google promotes good websites which has little to do with good content. It's a (debatable) signal of website quality, which is only tangentially related to content quality.
> To me, it also looks as if it almost hit a person, too (the driver of the van?)

You’re right, I hadn’t noticed that! That’s even worse. Seeing a person on the side of the road is not that uncommon and is a near-certain fatality if a collision occurs.
The more interesting part is that unc0ver exploits a bug that was reintroduced by Apple: https://twitter.com/s1guza/status/1266433756270866433 ..
There was an idea in the 90s in Poland to have each and every computer/CS term have its native equivalent, but the ones proposed were awkward to say the least.

To give an example: a mouse click was supposed to be called a "mlask", which directly translates to "a smack of the lips".

Needless to say that didn't stick and nowadays only veteran programmers are even aware that such an attempt was made.
That's very kind of you. Thank you. I appreciate when people reach out to let me know. I've been trying to do the same for others lately. Feel free to HMU too; it's always my honor to speak with people over my wiki.
Repl.it (YC W18) | Frontend, mobile, backend, Support, Bizdev | SF or REMOTE | https://repl.it/jobs

Repl.it is the first massively open collaborative computing platform where anyone, even without even needing an account, can hop on and in seconds start coding, building, and hosting applications and websites.

Apply if you like working on challenging problems, because running a service like this is hard to scale, make sure it's secure and easy to use. Also, supporting the number of languages we do (https://repl.it/languages) is a hard tooling problem -- we have to build generic protocols for all IDE actions like executing, debugging, authoring, running tests, writing files, etc. Finally, it's an incredibly challenging frontend/design problem to build a fast collaborative in-browser IDE that's both powerful and simple.

It's a great time to be joining us, we're still 12 full-time people, we reach millions of coders a month, and we're backed by YC and a16z.

> The primary job of the Supreme Court is not to decide cases. The job of the Supreme Court is to create precedent to help lower courts decide cases.

No, the job of the Supreme Court is to be the last court of appeal to uphold the US Constitution and laws passed under it. It does that by deciding cases. Setting precedent is a side effect, which can be helpful if it reduces the need for future cases of the same type to have to come to the Supreme Court again, but is not the primary purpose.

Hands on technology leader with 15+ years experience architecting/building products and leading teams. Looking for a tech lead position position where I can work and grow together with a team. Most recently, I was leading a team that managed multiple high-ish traffic consumer facing web properties and B2B SAAS applications.
There are 100 Senators and 435 Representatives. They don't all run on the same set of promises (or else we'd presumably get all of those outcomes). Often their platform promises are in conflict with each other.

They make deals with each other to get some of what they represent their constituents want in exchange for some of what the others' constituents want. This is necessary (and I believe by and large healthy) behavior when you're trying to govern ~350 million people.
I empathize with this a bit; it has been super frustrating to me to be exposed to what I consider subpar sources.

However, after quite a few frustrations with this site, I read a lot of dang's comments about the nature of this site. He says, in a different and much more eloquent way, that it is tough for people to see different views that they disagree with vehemently after they thought that HN was a home to them. It shocks and hurts people, and it did so to me for quite some time.

I feel like a corollary to this idea is that this site, HN, is for everyone, not individual users. It is unsharded, with no bubbles of opinion to retreat to. There are plenty of sites where you can moderate what you see to a great extent; this site is not one of them and is at the same time more difficult to digest and many times substantively better than other sites. Not all sites need to provide you exactly what each of us wants; in fact, this site is made to challenge our perspectives. At the same time, the humble "hide" button does exist here.

thank you, dang. Your writing is amazing and has completely changed my perspective on the nature of this forum. I appreciate your hard work and am sorry for my ignorant responses in the past.

They could also save face by reversing one of the worst SC decisions within living memory. Especially one that is now universally condemned by the left and the right.

The prestige and legitimacy of the court is absolutely something that the court itself cares about.
IMO the Court deserves to have its hand slapped for inventing the whole "qualified immunity" doctrine in the first place, instead of just ruling based on the plain language of 42 USC 1983.

UC Berkeley has not yet made a decision on whether classes will open in the fall. There are three possible plans for the fall at the moment [1].

The UC President has said that they expect a hybrid mode of instruction, but it's not clear whether there will be in person classes. It seems like each school themselves have a say in the decision.

> Napolitano indicated that each UC campus would be required to “meet system-wide thresholds” for Covid-19 testing, contact tracing and isolation before being allowed to open.

> Once the standards are met, campuses “can consider whether to maintain fully remote instruction in the fall or return some portion of their students to campus.”

> A decision is expected in the middle of June. [2]

A Berkeley CS professor also posted that he thinks the fall term will (and should) be online-only: https://www.reddit.com/r/berkeley/comments/g9vxb0/why_i_thin...

My native language is spanish, and while I obviously have discussions with colleagues in spanish we constantly weave english terms in our talks.

In fact, friends and girlfriends outside the industry have always laughed at the fact that when I talk with coworkers half the words we use are in english.

Why? Well, it's NOT only a vocabulary problem as others have said. Some terms are untranslatable, yes, but also every good documentation or resource you come across will be in english, code itself is in english, and so I spend 90% of my day THINKING in english. We end up using english expressions that have nothing to do with programming during regular conversation.
If all book sales were electronic, that might indeed invite a reassessment of publishers' value in securing distribution. But ebooks are only about 20% of book sales (and that figure is not rising).
The negative use of the term "virtue signalling" honestly baffles me. Why on earth is publicly stating your beliefs is a bad thing? Communication is how ideas spread.
anecdata, of course.

The company I work for is currently hiring. As the hiring manager I have repeatedly said I don't give a damn about college education (myself not having come from a CS background in college) and repeatedly the CTO has shot me down and told me that we need to hire someone with an undergrad CS background.

So here is my pithy statement: There are two paths - you can either have a CS degree. Or you can know someone and get the job that way (which is, how I - and others on the team who don't have CS degrees - got the job). Sometimes even if someone on the inside is rooting for you.
> That is specifically and only in the hands of the court, unless you want to amend the constitution.

The Constitution nowhere says that the Supreme Court has the sole ability or power to "shape the boundaries of constitutional law". It grants the Supreme Court "judicial power", but judicial power is not the only power related to the law.

Switzerland, people can always overrule politicians decisions there, no need to wait until next election. This means that the opinions of politicians is no longer as important so this issue doesn't even come up. So you place more value on finding the politician best fit for running the country, not the politician with values most aligned to your own.
Most people want offers to sell fictional criminal records and address records that don't match what I searched for? I don't think the AI understands what the word "most" means.
There was an incident just a few weeks ago where a 5-year-old in Utah took his parents' SUV for a joyride and managed to make it to the interstate before getting pulled over.

Based on the police footage, he wasn't doing a very good job of maintaining his lane, but he apparently managed to avoid hitting any stationary objects, so... go figure?

Last time I checked, additional sensors on the market all had problems with bad weather conditions.

Based on that, in the end you still need the camera's to work 100% to achieve the same things as humans do.

So you are solving more problems than you require too. It's nuts that people don't see that simple correlation.

Ps. You mentioned better than humans, but that is not the use-case Tesla is solving and the use-case I'm "discussing".
Very good point.

I've worked in a consulting position with a German police union a long time ago (different than the US unions, they are regular trade unions here, generally left-of-center). The new guy running the local office told me that he was fortunate to discover exactly what you describe happening to himself and asked to be placed elsewhere so he won't start arresting every black person wearing baggy pants that he sees.
there are tangible ways that laws could be setup and practices adhered to that would make cops more accountable and, while maybe the same level of racist in some parts, help ensure that they get held accountable more often than not.

mandatory body cams rolling at all times unless they are in a bathroom.

turning off or a malfunctioning camera during the act of a police brutality event immediately pierces the qualified immunity defense and they are tried as citizens.

have an outside investigative body that has zero ties to the police department investigate any reports of abuse.

have another outside investigative body that has zero ties to the police department randomly sampling police stop footage to see if there are any instances of impropriety.

I am sure this list is non-exhaustive but it's a start. also, while we are here, fix the issue of civil asset forfeiture. the clear "we get to take your money because it looks suspicious and then keep it for the police department" is a huge conflict of interest.
You say you "don't understand Americans" but your comments suggest that your goal isn't to understand Americans. Instead you seem aimed to convince them you are right.

As an American who has lived all over the country, i'd say every American subculture has a strange relationship with our government. The prospect of nationalizing, much less requiring, anything causes some cohort of the public to complain of government overreach or the trampling of liberties or that they didn't go far enough.

There is an argument to be made for whether or not a national id constitutes any real harm, and i'm sure our hesitation seems foolish to people in other nations. For me, i consider it to be a healthy, if inefficient, debate. Our government moves very slowly with this stuff. Depending on your personal beliefs, you can thank/blame the general public for that.
While I tend to agree with everything you said and would further say that there's a nefarious nexus between buying off public unions with pension agreements states can not afford to pay, a half-step in the right direction was outlined by Ilya Somin and Johnathan Adler recently [0]:

"State and local governments should consider banning police unionization, or at least curbing unions' powers by, for example, eliminating disciplinary issues from the list of matters that are subject to collective bargaining. Whatever the merits of public-sector unions in other contexts, they create too much of a conflict of of interest in the case of employees who often literally wield the power of life and death over civilians."

Any hedge fund or market participant of decent size (by volume) can access the create/redeem market through their trading desk or prime broker. Create/redeem is a pain for the clearing broker as they have move cash/securities around but if you give them enough business they will do it for you.
You can't really say "before Google" like they've been the same for twenty years. Google's search used to be really good. They would actually use what you typed in the search box to perform the search.

Then Google started adding more portal-like features and using NLP to perform searches on what they wished you had entered in the search field. They also started tailoring search results to your past search history and whatever profile they constructed about you.

Some people might want a natural language question answerer, others might want a search of only current events, but some definitely just want to search for content.

Google has catered to the former at the expense of the latter. They try to stuff all their different modes into a single text box and display them on a single results page. There's no segmentation to clearly different functional modes.

For me I'd love to see Google go back to actual web searches. Support Boolean operators and term quoting. Return me only search results without offering me shit they think I want to see.

I abandoned Google as my main search engine in favor of DuckDuckGo years ago. While not perfect they at least show me actual search results. If I want other modes of search like video or news I can click those tabs but they don't force that content on me.
Yep, I think that's it.
Maybe, the problem right now is that there is no module that Tesla can purchase and use on their cars. All the Lidar modules currently in use are these large and more importantly expensive spinning devices mounted on top of the car. These make sense for robotaxis, where cost and unsightliness are not an issue, but not an option for Tesla right now. I believe a couple companies have made headway with cheaper, smaller (solid state?) devices that might be an option in the near future, but these are just recent developments.
The legislature can override those indemnification clauses, if they want. Contract law is squarely within the legislature’s ability to control; doubly so when it’s for contracts between the government and other parties.
I get the point that's being made here, but the real question is do the passwords work even if they are derivative? Did someone extract anything of value using them?
Got it, but I still don't understand what
"And if you want some leverage, borrow against your stock with a credit line." means. How does this increase leverage?
I'd follow up with the letter that you are moving out immediately. Let's see who'll be laughing last.

And they'd follow up with a multi-thousand dollar bill for the remainder of your lease, plus fees, that is legally enforceable, and due immediately.

A lease is a contract. You don't get to just walk away.

When you’re at the end of the week and you know what you want to do, the two are equivalent.

When it’s Wednesday afternoon and you are still riffing on some ideas as to how to configure a new service, the preseed edit-test-edit cycle is in the order of minutes instead of seconds, compared to a script run via ssh on a stable running system.

That makes a huge difference to productivity, for me.

In 2009 rents dropped rapidly in Mountain View. I moved here in early '09 and my employer paid a realtor to show me around for a day. Told him my budget was $2000/month, and asked about a fairly swanky mostly-corporate-housing-but-a-few-individual-tenants complex. "Oh, that one's out of your price range", he said.

Ended up taking an apartment there for $1400/month six months later, and it stayed at that level for 3 years. (And then shot up rapidly afterwards - I left when it hit $2400/month 5 years later, and it's currently renting for $2900/month.) It had gone down so rapidly that its price was underneath the less-swanky complex a block down the street which normally rented for ~$300/month less and had itself cut rents from about $1800/month to $1450/month over those 6 months.

Rents are sticky - landlords try to avoid cutting if they don't have to. But when there's a choice between letting the apartments go vacant and servicing your debt payments, they have to cut, and if there's a shortage of tenants at that time (because everybody's left and gone home) the cuts can be pretty drastic.
Larry Niven's ships from Known Space are kind of a precursor to the Culture ships. The General Products hull is arguably a kind of "force field" though it's treated more like an indestructible hull, and it can't be reconfigured. Also missing is the Mind and the scale. Niven's Ringworld is also a Banks Orbital predecessor.
Then move elsewhere nearby and lock in a rent controlled lower value.

Even if you move nearby, moving isn't free in either time or money.
but this is _not_ just a distribution problem like you seem to be implying. Yes, digital solves distribution, so we are post-scarcity in that sense, but someone also needs to put in the intellectual labor to write a book in the first place. That has always been scarce. And if you don't incentivize it properly, people will have no reason to put in the effort to write books.
Whether a distro will seem "slow" or "fast" is almost entirely down to which desktop is installed by default on that distro. But users should know that they are not limited to that default desktop, and they can just type a few commands and switch to some lighter desktop if their hardware doesn’t smoothly run the default. Therefore, it is rather a waste of time to completely switch to a different distro just for the sake of speedups.
Your comment made me remember that multiple Tesla engineers quit and spoke out about the insufficient sensors a couple of years ago: https://www.technologyreview.com/2017/08/25/149475/some-tesl...
This is convenient and easy to use.
It would be nice to be able to print multiple access points with one print.
That's why we should ditch google search for alternatives. So far I've been using DDG and am quite happy though it needs improvements in search results they may be the ones to listen to our needs unlike google who is too big to care.
