I'm saying the fact one is looting does not a priori mean one is not making an effective, coherent, justified political argument. Wealth distribution is political. Property is political.
Yup, according to Wikipedia, Tux is the official logo of the Linux kernel.
Shit 40 hours is already 35% of my waking hours in a week, including weekends. Factor in that a lot of places extend hours by 30-60min to account for lunch ("9-5" my ass) and then commute time for most folks, and tons of people are already giving half their waking hours to their job.

How much more time am I supposed to spend clickety-clacking code into a computer while ruining my health? Zero. Zero should be the answer. Because 40 hours is already a hell of a lot.
Any new Kurosawa movie is a treasure for me to discover. Dreams also had themes of nuclear holocaust. Quite topical today as the spectre of nuclear armageddon still hovers above.
The commands that read their input from standard input could be used as receiver in a pipeline. For instance: `A | B` is a short form of `A > tmp.txt; B < tmp.txt; rm tmp.txt`

There are some commands that need literal arguments which is different than standard input. For instance the echo command. `echo < list.txt` will not work assuming you want to print the items inside the list. `echo itemA itemB itemC` will work. This is where xargs comes into play -- it converts the standard input stream to literal arguments among other things.

> The Surgisphere registry is an aggregation of the deidentified electronic health records of customers of QuartzClinical, Surgisphere’s machine learning program and data analytics platform. Surgisphere directly integrates with the EHRs of our hospital customers to provide them actionable data insights to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

I would be concerned if I was a patient whose doctor used Surgisphere. It sounds like Surgisphere has full access to electronic health data, and it's not clear if patients clearly consented to this...otherwise they'd be able to release more detailed information.

They say it's "deidentified", but if you have a list of age, gender, medical conditions, location, and medications taken (etc) how hard would it be to "reidentify" someone?
Paper books. If not possible then I suffer with an iPad.

After going through the phase of admiring this new and intellectually stimulating thing, I went on with an exercise of imagination about how it would look like for a society to have evolved somehow into using this at large. Each new word (or at least morpheme) has to have its own signature/ideogram that has to be learned and remembered. For a lexicon of any practical use that would mean thousands of ideograms. That feels quite a burden. An improved solution that I'm able to imagine just now may be to have ideograms only for abstract relations (like for prepositions) and keep "ordinary" words (as the nouns and verbs, at least) formed by a much smaller group of simpler constructs, like we do with alphabet letters?

Good stuff, nevertheless.
> We should be selecting news sources based on the types of things they report rather than the spin.

You can report nothing but verifiable facts and still add plenty of spin just by selecting the types of things you report. E.g. "here are the details of police deaths and injuries during the riots" versus "here are the details of protester deaths and injuries caused by the police".
I'm not sure if it applies to proteins, but for smaller molecules there seemed to be some really interesting results a few years ago about using MOF's to adsorb analytes in a spatially repeating manner so x-ray diffraction techniques could be used without crystallization. Haven't followed closely enough to know if anything is panning out though.
I don't understand why the default assumption is that delivery drones need to fly. It seems like you could have a bus-ful of small wheeled drones that could achieve many of the benefits with much fewer safety concerns.

Would need to make a package lockbox similar to a mailbox that is accessible by the dronecars, but I think in this day and age of frequent package theft, many would go along with it.

In a typical year, the police and fire helicopters spend more time doing search and rescue on the lake [0] and aerial coordination at actual fires than anything else. They're assets to the city.

Your simplest Euclidean polygon is the triangle. Imagine the triangle is defined by the cities of London, Tokyo and New York.

Assuming the world is a sphere (which we know it isn't, but it's not disastrously wrong for these purposes), that gives you something that looks like this:

http://gc.kls2.com/cgi-bin/gc?PATH=NYC-TYO-LON-NYC

The slightly-curved lines represent the shortest distance between those points; the great circle routes.

Now take your typical world map (probably a Mercator projection) and draw the same triangle on it using straight lines along the shortest distances on the map.

Notice that the triangle on the world map includes within its area a significant chunk of Central Asia and absolutely none of Greenland.

Imagine how unsuccessful you would be trying to intersect the world-map triangle with another polygon; it would be completely meaningless.
Wouldn't this be this just as feasible and elegant in JS, Python or Scala? Maybe not as short but short enough.

Then again with Python I'd just fire up NumPy or ugh Pandas(which is basically NumPy with benefits) for this kind of transformation.
Sent you LinkedIn request, can we chat there?
I disagree... this is an area I research, working on a surveillance system. But even so, if gait alone was not enough, modern recognition software can easily single out a subject in a crowd with just seconds of footage, and through thousands of cameras track said subject throughout the city. Footage will be plenty. At some point during tracking the subject is likely to reveal his face, too, or other critical information. If your voice is picked up it too will be used for positive identification. When you add in the people in close proximity to the subject things get even easier, recognize one of the other collaborators the target subject affiliates with and identification is often a simple narrowing scan of enmassed OSINT away, done real-time, of course. Or simply track the subject to an address, maybe even his home, and swoop in.

I want to also clarify what gait recognition is, for those not that familiar with it a common misconception is thinking it is limited to analysis of how you walk. It is not; factors of gait recognition: height, weight, build and proportions, sex, age, clothes (including type—-dress, shirt, etc.—-shape and colors), emotions displayed, facial tics, unique mannerisms. The analysis of your actual walk/gait is incredibly deep and consists of hundreds of variables, too many for me to care mention here, I might blog about it if it is of interest to anyone, but a few examples: cadence, the angles of just about anything you can imagine possible to measure,
spacing between feet, knees, arm swing distance, etc.

For anyone familiar with Haar-like features it should be easy enough to understand that with enough features within threshold you can id just about
anything.

This is all yesterday’s tech, by the way.

My point, be very cautious of attending anything that might destroy your
future. Do not think a mask or blurring protects your identity, that is extremely naive.

In what sector is Amazon a monopoly. Retail? Walmart is much larger and Amazon's share of the market is too small to be a monopoly. Ecommerce? Even in ecommerce, Amazon's share is <50%. Fun fact, Tesla has a 60% of electric car market in the US (https://electrek.co/2020/02/04/tesla-electric-car-sales-us-m...). Does that mean Tesla is a monopoly, and should be broken up?
The first sentence of the post answers the question (without truly answering it):

> As of April 2020, SeatGeek no longer supports signing up with or logging in with Facebook.

They can't sign in with Facebook anymore because SeatGeek no longer supports it.

You're conflating that with "why don't they support it?", which isn't the same question.

Should it have answered both? Maybe.

I am aware of legal clinics and pro bono work, but this is very different from legal training.

Even here in the UK, taking a GDL and LPC/BCPL is a very expensive proposition. There are no real free resources, if you want even a sniff of it you are putting down serious cash. I know because I looked very hard at doing it, and opted out partly because of the perilous costs involved.

The engineering example is very different: helping high school kids take nurture an interest in engineering is definitely a common volunteering trope. I'm not sure it's the same as giving potential practitioners free professional training.

Politely, I do not think you should be making that assumption about strangers on the internet.
Amazon is a monopoly on Kindle, which is what the author has issues with. It's sort of like if there was only one manufacturer of a printing press and they forbade you from printing anything they don't like on it.

Also, every time a rebuttal starts with "so", the rest is an attempt at mind reading. Those are always unsuccessful.
Ordinarily I'd agree, but Trump is perhaps a special case here. Almost every single thing he says on social media is designed to cause division and sow the seeds of racism, xenophobia, or indeed anything that panders to would-be voters. Pretty much everything else is verifiably false, or completely ludicrous to the point where you really have to question his intelligence, let alone his capability to lead a country.

I genuinely wonder if we should be giving this vile person a platform through which he can so effectively reach so many people so frequently.
Apparently the police are OK with any protestors doing basically anything if they've all got AR-15s and burning or lynching effigies of politicians they disagree with, because apparently that's how adults handle disagreements in civil societies. That would be another way to render themselves invisible to the police, based on the last 50 years or so of anecdotal evidence.

I may be missing some critical elements though, like Confederate flags or swastikas or blatantly threatening behavior or obvious symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome. It sure is odd, the sorts of things that put American cops at ease. Really odd.

Really? I would say it's one of the lowest, where you can start a global company with less than 20 people with very low costs that then increase sub-linearly as your customer base grows.
There's lots of structural information such as conserved folds that can be gleaned from Cryo and X-ray structures.

Clojure on the backend is awesome because you can use mature, stable, pure Clojure libraries for almost everything and it works together beautifully.

ClojureScript on the other hand suffers from constantly having to interop with JS libs and tools, or trying to wrap them, with many wrappers being outdated or having a bus factor of 1.

I feel like the advantages of CLJS have eroded over the past few years:

- TypeScript has fully taken over, generalizing the advantages of static typing

- JS libraries have adopted functional patterns, narrowing the comparative advantage of CLJS

- Tools like create-react-app have emerged to simplify project configuration, while CLJS is still figuring things out: https://clojurescript.org/news/2020-04-24-bundle-target

All: much of this thread has been arguing about the definition of the word 'engineer'. That's not interesting in HN's sense of the word, and it's a shame not to be discussing the specifics of this project. Since that word 'engineer' seems to be so activating, I've taken it out of the title. Please comment out of curiosity going forward.

>What’s wrong with a test that challenges your knowledge of data structures and algorithms?

It's not a good signal for who will provide good business value through software engineering.

>I actually find that in general the very smart people I know are good at them and most of the people who “don’t test well” aren’t.

Is "smart" just directly 1:1 with "provides good business value" for you? I'm not so sure it's that simple...

>And even then they can just practice them. They might even learn something. Sorry if that sounds mean, I don’t mean it to be, just blunt.

It "sounds mean" because you are being selfish about your personal situation and then saying "it's not really that bad, come on," to people in different situations. It has nothing to do with you being "blunt."

Operation Mockingbird. COINTELPRO. Edward Bernays.

Historically, the United States has always had actors within traditional media. It is literally impossible to block out domestically state-controlled outlets.

The article seems to focus on foreign state actors, but shouldn't their policies block all political ads at all? I feel like Facebook should just get out of that space entirely if the want to appear entirely safe/neutral (or as much is possible).

I love vim wiki, but have never been able to use it. Or any wiki for that matter.
I can't seem to find the right mind frame to keep feeding the wiki.
I do it for a while, and than I just stop, since I am not able to make a good workflow.

I also haven't been able to find a solution that would easily be publishable, with the right format for me to search over it.

(Another meta problem is that every time I try to consistently use a wiki it I seem to fall in the types of thoughts that the previous paragraphs show, and I simply get discouraged and drop the project)
Yeah, tooling/workflows are the (possibly only) reason that Docker is popular. It's like how the FreeBSD folks will say that they've had containers (jails) long before Linux, which is true but misses the point that without the ability to pull and run images trivially they're losing, badly, on usability.
I have always found it strange that some people think Trump just says these things of his own volition. As if the President of the United States wouldn't be advised by some very, if not the most intelligent people our country has to offer. I guess some would say the blind faith is dangerous but at the same time I look at it as being common sense that our President would not advise something that could potentially kill people.
The Seattle Police Department has both their badge numbers, as well as name tags. As you said, neither is particularly easy to read in the best of circumstances. Of course it’s made even more difficult by the officers covering the badge numbers (and in less frequent cases, their name tags) with tape. I’ve seen both in person during the last week. The official explanation for covering badge numbers is weak, and the mayor’s response to protestor requests that badges are left uncovered was even weaker. Of course this pales in comparison to the turning-off body cam before attacking policy.

My CI/CD pipelines have always been a minmaxed affair of doing the math on how useful a piece of information is and how expensive it is to get.

As such, it's not unusual for the OS X tests to be farther down the list and not to trigger at all if earlier stages failed. It's easier to scale up multiple subprojects if you run the first couple phases on commodity hardware and then ramp up to the more peculiar stuff only if everything else already looks good. That way, your broken build can't slow down my green build very much.

It's not so much that I like doing this, as that it prevents a number of things I most definitely do not like at all.

It might be a problem when people from opposite side of the political spectrum strongly disagree on things; it's an even bigger problem when they agree on the wrong perception, sadly people who suffer from those unanimous but wrong perceptions tend not to have a voice, like immigrants and people living in foreign countries.
The samples themselves are plunge frozen into vitreous ice using liquid ethane, so they won't move much on their own. The electron beam, as well as the stage they sit on inside the microscope do cause movement of the grid/sample, however, and so on modern microscopes, what we actually record are movies so that we can correct for things like beam induced motion with software.

Exposure is a separate variable because it also causes sample degradation. Ideally, a microscope is only shooting one electron at a time at the sample (that never happens obviously), but the fewer electrons, the better. On overexposed micrographs, you can see the burn marks on the sample.
I had read about "Bourbaki" in the past. I was not aware that the "Bourbaki" group was still active.
> Amazon is a monopoly on Kindle, which is what the author has issues with.

This makes no sense. Companies all have monopolies on their own products. Apple has monopoly on the iPad, which is a similar competing reading device. Sony has monopoly on the PlayStation. Microsoft has monopoly on Office and Xbox. Are you suggesting that all companies should give up the ownership of all of their products?

There are several competing products to Kindle, like Nook and even iPad (which funnily enough, tried to monopolistically engage in price fixing)
