Yeah, I've thought about other options, including running a lot of things in a VM, because of that. Plus I usually like to tinker and learn. But I have so many other things on my plate right now that I'm not sure I want to take that on too. So having something that's prosumer that I don't have to mess with as much would be nice. I just wish I lived somewhere where I could find more second-hand networking equipment!
> Remember Obama and how he was going to change the world?

You do understand that big, lasting change needs to come from all three branches of the government right? It's pretty clear Obama was pushing for much greater reform than what actually came about and Trump has done everything he can to dismantle what he created.

I have issues with a lot of Democrats and I don't love Biden, but Obama was one of the most straight shooters in politics.
They had a fun blog post about it back in the day: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/b8/designing-...
>Donald Trump declared a national emergency so he could bypass Congress and raid the military budget to build a wall

And how well did that work out for him? It took him his entire term to build about 1/5 of what he promised. And what he built isn't anywhere close to the impenetrable concrete wall he proposed.

To top it all off, if he had been facing a congress controlled entirely by the other party, he would have never gotten away with it because they would have passed a law making exactly what he did illegal.

And this was his #1 campaign promise. He spent every bit of his political capital on building a wall.

This is super telling and Ballmer understands the impact of this relatively small decision and its ripple effect it will have for other municipalities.

From a long term perspective, my bet is on Linux.
I'm probably one of the only professional photographers on HN, just to give some context. I'm taking a break from editing a wedding as we speak. I don't know what the rules here are on self promotion but feel free to Google my name to see my work.

Cell phone pictures to me are the equivalent today of what disposable camera photos used to be. They're easy to use and get decent results in the right circumstances. In the wrong circumstances, they're absolutely terrible.

One thing that I don't think gets mentioned enough is that cell phone pictures generally look good on a cell phone, but blow it up to an 8x10 or a 24" monitor and you'll quickly see how poor they are. I think it's a pretty big shame we're living in a time where really great cameras are quite cheap, but most people's memories are only suitable to view in small sizes.

I also think that a large portion of why camera sales have been on the decline isn't solely due to cell phone cameras, but the fact that a lot of people don't have a PC in their home anymore. The apps to transfer images to a cell phone/tablet are typically quite poor and slow, and managing files generally isn't easy doing that. People rarely get prints with their own photos, so the manufacturer that solves that issue would have a decent advantage.
Obviously so.

There are republican and church leaders who are now condemning him since his “looting and shooting” tweet.

His tweeting continues to influence people’s perception of his character.
I am stuck at home with young children, and I don't feel comfortable bringing them out at this time.
It would be great if you could add the information that he killed people (police officers and their families) in retaliation for his firing to your post. Otherwise it makes very little sense without reading the wiki article.

Your are assuming that there is someone in power or large numbers who has/have an agenda of racism. Who is? Have you ever seen any sane person who,for example, disagrees with the notion that Black Lives Matter? Some people may argue that there are other lives that matter as well, but no one seriously disagrees that Black Lives Matter.
It was justified as any arrest is -- people are generally arrested and then taken to court to have their outcome determined, not the other way around.

Your question phrased another way:

> "Does it imply that anyone wanted by the government can be detained by the police and the government needs to establish the legality of it only after the fact?"

Yes, very much so.

I suspect if the US were randomly and wantonly requesting illegal extraditions to harass people located in Canada that Canada would simply stop making provisional arrests pending formal requests for extradition and require the paperwork up front.
That would have been the same result after the game was finished either way, given that Star was only a contractor.

At least at Take Two the employees have the possibility of working on other games.
Great idea! Switching the model from idling in one channel to being in multiple groups at the same time is a good idea.

Do you have plans on releasing a binary for Linux?
You see, this is why discussing politics here gets a bad rap. You are operating in a partisan manner and effectively trolling now.

If you were actually interested in dialog, I would go to the effort of gathering evidence of members of the GOP trashing him before he attained power, as well as multiple prominent republicans who today are aghast at what he's done and is continuing to do.

I'm against political parties (Washington warned us way back when), and I associate with the party that you clearly don't belong to. My association is made under duress, in that I have to pick one in order for my voice to be heard.

I can have civil and adult conversations about the merits and failures of both parties and of individuals within them.

I'm guessing that might be a challenge for you so I won't bother trying. Let me know otherwise.
while they do warn you, it is about time that they implement a real incognito mode, maybe using Tor by default... The current incognito only protects your privacy from other people that are using the same computer which is not really that helpful since you could just create another user to achieve basically the same (if your disk is encrypted)

Minneapolis controls its own police force, why do the progressives that run that town need the DOJ to step in?

Put the reforms in the next contract. Set training and certification standards that exclude bad or lazy cops. Take the cops guns away, or whatever.

Blaming the federal government for local police problems in cities like Minneapolis does not make sense.

Most of the top line Porsche are very performance oriented versions of each model with some pretty radical departures from normal car features. Lack of back seats, rollcages, hard racing suspension, loud. The people that buy these are after race cars for the street.
IMHO, it's much much more likely that the issue is the geography of skills, and we're entering a very interesting period where we may do an experiment to see if geography is the answer.

There are a number of technology-specific hubs around the world and even just in the united states. Silicon Valley is one of the most obvious ones, but Raleigh is another one, as are Nashua, Boston and Salt Lake City (there are others).

What all of these have in common is that each of them had, at some time in the past there was a massive company with out-sized returns. In the Valley were were _several_ - Intel, HP, ... and many more. NCR (and others) in Raleigh, Westford, Petaluma (optics), Boston as a geography absolutely dominated storage until Netapp, and so on.

When you have companies like this, they produce a lasting geographic concentration of talent, especially early in a given sector's life. Think Michigan and especially Detroit for automakers or California for aerospace.

The experiment we're doing with the work-from-home thing will be interesting if it goes forward, because as a few locations in Canada demonstrated, a very active de-centralization of a given kind of expertise (in that case, the network element management software) can render a given tech hub a memory at best. If history is anything to go by, disassembling Silicon Valley, if possible, will not result in more uniform distribution, it will just move from one concentrated area to another.
> Does it not depends on the level of photographers?

No, it depends on what you want to do. If you want to do street photography, for example, even as a novice, you're going to have a much easier time using a longer lens so you don't get near your subjects and ruin your shots by drawing attention.
They change the equation when someone is advocating for “full legalization” with (sometimes) “no government regulation”. The argument is (rightly or wrongly) that certain drugs are actually so harmful that they should be kept out of the public.

You accidentally forgot to mention that the manhunt wasn't because of his manifesto but because of the people he killed.

Doesn't excuse the behavior of the police, but it's a weird thing to skip over.
To me they both seemed woefully underprepared and at a loss for answers when the spotlight was put on them during debates.

I guess executives delegate a lot , so much that on their own they might feel exposed and unprepared because there is no one to assist, at least when thrust into unfamiliar ground.
One more reason not to use this garbage. I keep recommending Signal to everyone I know.

Yeah we definitely will release linux (it's electron based so no reason to leave linux out). It works better as an app but you can also access it in browser at https://app.squawk.to
It's so rare these days I really don't understand why people fuss over the definition.

It's almost impossible to brick anything with software, and even in hardware unless you damage the PCB itself you can usually recover if you tried hard enough (e.g. Even if you fry a $1500 FPGA you could technically reflow a new one and pray the bitstream is OK if you need it fixed now - although I'd rather you than me)

What is the process for overturning a ruling? I worked with some blockchain folks on this concept and I will say, it is rife with challenges.

The most important thing you can do right now, if you want people to invest their energy in this app, is to convince people that you understand the human relationship with truth-seeking well enough to optimize the process with technology. That will take some thoughtful writing.
See the "it's not technically impossible" part of the comment, which was meant to preempt (unsuccessfully, it seems) such replies.
It's not actually a slippery slope, but more so that it will inevitably lead to false positives. It's a bit annoying when people misconstrue what hate speech is: inciting extreme hate or encouraging violence. Criticism is definitely allowed. I also agree it's somewhat better to have public discourse, but being fundamentally supporting free speech even when it leads to hate crimes, is a bit myopic.
Searching for "MediaTek NDI Virtual Input" does not turn up results with "MediaTek" for me. Did you mean "NewTek" or another NDI tool?

But that's also expected, isn't it? Startups are like playing the lottery, those that win will suddenly have much, much, much more than your average person that puts their money into savings instead. But a big part of those playing the lottery will never win, and on average those who just invest their money will be better off than those who play the lottery.
Oh, OK, TIL. I’ve never heard that!

> Belgium has surged to the top of the grim leaderboard because authorities decided to be radically transparent, if perhaps a bit speculative, about the toll from the novel coronavirus. They include not only deaths that are confirmed to be virus-related, but even those suspected of being linked, whether the victim was tested or not.

> As of Wednesday, Belgium, with a population of over 11.4 million, has counted a total 6,262 deaths from COVID-19 — roughly 540 per million citizens — and more than half of those deaths were in nursing homes. Of those 52%, just 4.5% were confirmed as having been infected, yet all are counted in the national tally.
They line up more often than they disagree b/c most bills that make it all the way to a floor vote aren't objectionable to anyone.

Sorry but that isn't true. Obama had a Democrat House and a Democrat Senate for the first two years of his presidency[1]. It wasn't until January of 2011 that the House turned Republican.

That is the Wakefield incident he was referring to.
Not totally inaccurate, but I would take "no improvement" over actively undermining American government and society.

For better or for worse Obama pinned his legacy on healthcare reform, and being a symbol of improving racial justice rather than actual change.
Republicans have tried to undermine that legacy ever since.
Yes, it does. I don't want to have city documents in some cloud.
This article specifically points out Zuckerberg's sweating at D8. This may have been a different instance, or I may be wrong.

For a hilarious contrast, I once witnessed an example of "police brutality" in Delhi... a police officer pulled over a car with four guys inside. I don't speak Hindi so I don't know what he was saying, but the four guys piled out of the car, threw the cop against the car and threatened him until he literally just ran away.

It kinda is, isn't it? The fun, fulfilling job is one that everybody is happy to do. The boring, soul-devouring job is where you need to encourage people to do it by offering more money.
Word. I've been trying to do similar in my life and when I do make the effort to raise myself to the same level as those I am greeting the interaction is so much more fulfilling for us both.
What kills me is that every feature you mention can be done without needing an app, an lcd, or the cloud, and the same thing applies to electric cars.

How much cheaper would an electric car like a tesla be if it didn't have autopilot, electronic keys, and LCDs everywhere? How much more secure would it be without an e-key to unlock it? I hope when I'm ready to buy an electric car I can find something like that.
Once while giving a talk at a dev conference I was heckled just after being introduced. This was over 10 years ago but it was something to the effect of "get off the stage, suit". I wasn't wearing a suit but apparently my overall look screams "sales guy"...

I was pleasantly surprised when I completed my talk and the guy who heckled me (I never even saw him) came up to me and apologized. Then again this was in Toronto so maybe the old stereotype about apologetic Canadians is more true than not!

The "shabby nerd" stereotype is a very real thing and it goes both ways.
I agree with the part about moving marijuana off of schedule 1. It has no business being there and is _entirely_ under the president's control.

In my opinion he should have completely de-scheduled it federally. That is perhaps a little too radical. What's not at all radical would be taking it off of schedule 1. I can't for the life of me figure out any reason why he wouldn't have done that.

5 stupid simple things I learned by launching my first SaaS startup
There are multiple possible answers to that question. My answer would be - these two have basically nothing in common.

I am working in the area where software quality is important, so we do have a very clear distinction between the roles (and also between maturity levels). We have (among others) people who do a formal description of the customer's problem (requirements engineers), others who convert it to a product specification (architects), third who manage the implementation (project managers) and the implementers (programmers).

Every level has its own requirements and skill sets. For example, only the programmers are working with code, so their job is to be experts in the language, frameworks, hardware interfaces and the like (we also have hardware engineers to design the hardware). Architects are working with models - their job is to derive the proper constraints and project structure from the requirements, to ensure its correctness and to provide a way to prove it. Managers and requirements engineers are working with people. Of course, there are architects or managers who have been programmer before, but in general it's not really necessary and sometimes even benefitial to not have a programming background.

If you heard about "separation of concerns" or "single responsibility principle" in software, well we're using it also in our development process.

But I'm quite sure it's not "modern".
"Grind" your way into good architecture? Good architecture is designing, not trial-and-errored. The only grinding I do is mental before I type a single letter of code.
I would guess that the format negotiation for clipboard data has something to do with that. You cannot negotiate when the originating app is not there anymore.

But then, is it a real problem? I understand, that some users might be inconvenienced by that, because they got used to it in their workflow... but is it really a showstopper?
I think Android SDK was made with something else in mind, I did read it was made for digital cameras, ironically Android have very bad camera api too, the concept of activity and fragment is just weird... I can say everything there is weird, but definitely not the worst SDK.
This is cool. I can't wait to try it out!

Crazy Feature request: One of the things I've wanted for years out of a software based walkie-talkie like this is manual audio spacial diversity control (a.k.a. 3D audio). That way I can have multiple simultaneous channels, but be able to change the position (left/right/forward/45deg/etc) and the volume of each feed so I can have situational awareness with all channels while being able to use my brain to separate and focus on a particular channel.

These kinds of systems are often marketed to dispatch agencies, mission control, government/military customers, etc, and are super expensive[0]. I've never seen a consumer-grade version of 3D audio like this, but that would be super beneficial to ad-hoc communicators in disasters, scanner enthusiasts, public event coordinators, county/city-level EOCs that can't afford expensive systems.

Effect of bean origin and temperature on grinding roasted coffee (2016)
Sure, but I find it difficult to justify that this should be tried in a US court under control of the US government, for a crime between two non-American actors outside the United States.

The fact that it was about selling US equipment seems to be completely orthogonal to the crime (which is fraud), as it is not illegal for a non-US citizen outside the US to sell American goods bought to another non-US actor.

The fact that Huawei would have to lie to the US government also seems orthogonal as Huawei did not lie to the US government, and if it did then Huawei would be liable.

This simply seems to me like the US trying to impose it's power over foreign transactions.
Yeah, that's something I had anxiety with growing up in middle school and high school. The way I solved it was to download a Top 100 mp3 collection, then I branched out to different music tastes from there.
> Wow the number of people on this thread claiming websites should be able to opt people out of logging based on whether they’re using a “private window” (which websites should have absolutely no idea about) makes me question if I’m even on Hacker News.

Especially since "Websites shouldn't be able to tell if you're in incognito mode" has been highlighted in the past as a privacy ask, yes.

People can at least agree "website shouldn't be able to tell if you're in incognito mode" and "website should not track you if you are in incognito mode" are two mutually exclusive features, right?
