Unfortunately coverage measures are shit.

Real coverage test would test coverage OF THE SPECIFICATION. So for a list of statements describing how your service should behave in various situation you would want to know which are being verified by the unit test.

Checking lines of code is pointless because line of code would usually be required for multiple specification statements (requirements).

There is barely any connection between having 100% line coverage and covering entire component specification.

I think unit coverage are those measures where somebody thought they need to measure something but they could either not define what to measure or they deciding that measuring the right thing is too difficult so we can measure something else instead and managers will be happy anyway.

I don't know enough about the data to have an opinion. I do know that there are times in history when companies have sustained P/E ratios above 100 for many years (see Japan in the 1980s). You might be right, but from what I've seen, 100x P/E ratios usually come back down to earth.

If you actually follow local politics, you'll often find that, if the police are even following directions are all, that behind those directions, the most powerful interest group promoting those local policies and able to defeat politicians that displease them is...the police.

There have always been different rules for large corporations (and the rich) because they have money to challenge the state in court.

White collar crime isn't prosecuted as much because the laws were written with 'intent' clauses that make it easier to avoid convictions and difficult to prove so cases are more expensive and complicated. Most suits against corporations take years and millions of dollars to resolve.

Civil asset forfeiture is legalized theft, the only reasonable justification for it is for unclaimed property, the second someone is found to be the owner you're seizing their property which there are (theoretically) [0] constitutional protections against.

[0] I say theoretically because legal protections only 'really' exist when they're enforced against the government.
Tesla is similar to Netflix/Amazon when everyone knew the future -- TV/shopping would eventually go online and now everyone knows cars will eventually be EVs

The equivalent in our industry is when somebody gets locked out of a Google/Apple/etc. multi-service account, has no backup or rescue access, but is put in touch with a friend of a friend who happens to work at the vendor. It's systemic favoritism.

It's not just about whether if a text, image, sound or video is fake or not. It's about where you get your sources from or the narratives the news organization, or platform you read from. They can still coordinate a mass ban on any source for no particular reason.

A single source or narrative is extremely dangerous. Multiple sources and narratives paint the full picture and expose the lies and contradictions themselves. The moment a platform removes or censors a source for no particular reason, it begs the question if it is biased, dishonest, doesn't fit their narrative or if they are trustworthy themselves. Which is why I am very skeptical with some of the sources in this 'Trusted News Initiative':

...it really doesn't make sense at all that human brains are being used for compute PR power actually. If you wanted brain's for compute, why are you wasting time simulating some 90's version of life for them?

And the power explanation makes no sense either. Organic life's shtick is that it occupies a niche where complex mechanisms can be actuated through astonishingly low inputs of power via artificial lowering of chemical reaction energy thresholds via creation of ideal reaction conditions by way of catalytic enzymes.

This is corruption. I've never understood how things like this can happen in the US - why is this tolerated?

If this happened in the UK I'm fairly sure it would be raised in the press, then parliament and then the Home Secretary (in charge of policing) would be forced to make a statement and likely do something about it.
Is Motif actually available on modern Linux systems? And is there a Windows port as well?

I find it difficult to believe that Motif is actually that portable.

Web apps are only as portable as the browser features they use, and the browsers available for the platform. A primarily backend-rendered app, with minimal Javascript is much more portable than the average SPA app.

MORPHEUS: For the longest time, I wouldn't believe it. But then I saw the fields with my own eyes, watched them liquefy the dead so they could be fed intravenously to the living -

NEO (politely): Excuse me, please.

MORPHEUS: Yes, Neo?

NEO: I've kept quiet for as long as I could, but I feel a certain need to speak up at this point. The human body is the most inefficient source of energy you could possibly imagine. The efficiency of a power plant at converting thermal energy into electricity decreases as you run the turbines at lower temperatures. If you had any sort of food humans could eat, it would be more efficient to burn it in a furnace than feed it to humans. And now you're telling me that their food is the bodies of the dead, fed to the living? Haven't you ever heard of the laws of thermodynamics?

MORPHEUS: Where did you hear about the laws of thermodynamics, Neo?

NEO: Anyone who's made it past one science class in high school ought to know about the laws of thermodynamics!

The First Question to Ask When Evaluating a Platform
I agree it would be best to address the reasons why people hurt each other with information (such as someone who is gay) but the unfortunate reality is that will never happen, not until 100% of our population is virtuous, and that’s impossible. And while it may be less damaging today to be identified as gay than it was 20 years ago, in the United States it is now becoming more damaging to be in the majority than it was 20 years ago. As far as I understand Marxism, it’s Marxism: the oppressed will overthrow the oppressor and will become the new oppressors. We’re just trading oppressors, and while it may seem justifiable to oppress the old oppressors, it doesn’t address the issues that people and not virtuous.
Presumption of innocence is a feature, not a bug. It is not there because thought it was cool to write it. It is a reaction of previous abuses.

Take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12010760 (510 points | June 30, 2016 | 206 comments)

Now imagine that the cop says "I don't care if the judge thinks he is innocent, and I don't care that we can find no evidence. I believe he is guilty. Let's make his life miserable with extrajudicial punishment because we can use presumption of guilt. Let's seize his car, his home and whatever we can imagine."

In many cities the mayor cannot fire the police chief. In my city in Texas, the city council can only fire the city attorney and the city manager. Of course, the mayor and council can apply pressure to the city manager, but it's not as easy as "booted out by the mayor".

I've made internal tools for the exact thing, jwt inspection , which was a nice exercise and guarantees privacy. For things like JSON, using your editor/cli would be much faster. I'm not sure why a lot of developers don't add these integrations/learn the tools.
For the people that do not want to give Google any money ever, you have many alternatives. I personally use Firefox(the 68 version) + Ublock Origin on Android, but you can simply use Brave out of the box. You can log to your account and have your full preferences and history. Also I use an addon to allow background playback on Firefox, but in Brave it's also out of the box. I would never support Google in any way, so no ethical concerns on my part. I support some channels through Subscribestar. Patreon does not support free speech, so it's a no go for me too.

Physical Education is very much a “get out of it what you put into it” sort of thing, really like any class. And there’s going to be regional/world differences. It’s also partially there for the student athletes, in order for there to be job infrastructure and education/training. Source: father was a physical educator for 40ish years and is a good man

The financial education and time management lines really resonated with me from the parent comment. The problem is that there is not anything resembling equal footing at home. Rich kids, realistically the top 5-10%, are going to get financial education at home and the others will have to learn in the school of hard knocks. I had to learn “tough” lessons about finance because the resources for what I needed to know didn’t exist at home. And I talk to people now who are older about how they prep their kids for the world, and it’s just a classic information imbalance. You could do a lot of good by leveling the playing field here.
Yeah it's the difference between paying $10/month for Netflix vs buying movies a la carte
Even late versions of Solaris (such as I was using at school circa 2005) didn't ship a GNU userspace, you'd have to install it separately. By the time GCC 1.0 came out in 1987, 4.3BSD was already out, SunOS was several versions deep, AT&T had released System V four years earlier... how precisely were these built on GNU tools, when they all got their start before GNU existed?

A lot comes down to budget I think. Schools are judged mainly on standardized testing scores and funds will be allocated to ensure optimization of that metric.

Schools mainly get funded through local property taxes. If you compare curriculum in towns that are generally middle and upper middle class with towns that have a larger lower middle class population you’ll probably see different curriculum. More AP classes, electives, life planning, etc.

The town I live in has pretty high taxes but it’s mainly to fund the local school system which ranks high. Just about everyone with kids uses the public school system because of this and it’s a big selling point to new residents home-shopping.

But we pay for it.

I thought the entire point of signing a JWT was because you need to validate it because there is some endpoint that is untrusted and you have to treat the claims as potentially compromised.
Part of this is because of the complex equalization that must be performed when locking to the incoming signal.

Basically, the device has to sweep through several different EQ settings until it achieves the combination with the best signal eye.

You'd think this would be lightning fast, but as it turns out, this is often handled in firmware (with hardware support for measuring the eye). I've seen this process take upwards of two seconds.

A lot of these displays probably only have one RX core, so it's not like it can remain locked to all inputs at the same time.
While this is at best a very dubious sentiment, I've only really seen it applied to university lecturers. I don't see how it can reasonably be applied to primary/secondary teachers.
Anyone can buy a FOP decal though, and as far as I'm concerned, an FOP Decal accomplishes the same thing in practice.

I mean, its not the same as bribery. But its the kind of thing that creates the mindset of people like Rittenhouse (Kenosha Shooter).

Showing off a "pro-police" political affiliation (be it a FOP sticker or a PBA card) makes the cops go easy on you for minor infractions.

The problem happens when people who are "pro-police" start showing up at protests, staying past a 8pm curfew, and then shoots three people in self-defense (allegedly).

On the one hand: the Sheriff of Kenosha refused to deputize these people and had the foresight to see what issues the behavior would cause. On the other hand: there's a low-level expectation "friends with benefits" with Police culture. If you're a friend of the police, the police reciprocate that friendship back to you. And one can argue that things are unfair in that regards. (Ex: failure to enforce the curfew on Rittenhouse)

----------

With that being said: I've been to countries with explicit bribery. The American way is better. Period. There's no comparison between this behavior and bribery.

But there seems to be an unfairness even in the American way, which is discussed in the core article and exemplified in Kenosha (and IMO: the Kenosha shooter is just the highest-profile example of this debate).
I wish people would keep these kinds of situations in mind when discussing whether or not a certain industry is a "meritocracy".
If most teachers are bad then using homework to fix this is a shit solution: why are children being forced to endure 1st the bad teacher AND the homework.
This is my concern as well. Do we need to create the opposite of this? A service that searches the internet and 'wades' thru information/trash and then reports back with 3 best possible conclusions?
People are not trees
Oh man, I’ve found this sorta stuff will send me down rabbit holes for days. For whatever reason I find setting up personal knowledge bases as addicting as configuring my editor, so here’s my current drug of choice:

I have a wiki.JS instance which pulls/pushes to a got repo I have of org and markdown files. I have a keybinding attached to an elisp function (did I mention I use Emacs?) that creates or opens a templates, date-named org file with a save hooks that converts it to markdown and pushes it to my repo.

Now I have an easy way to share a page with anyone, look it up (and edit!) while I’m not on my machine, and lose _countless_ hours tweaking both my Emacs setup and wiki setup collectively.

Drug of choice indeed.
For you claiming that math was useful there will be 20 claiming that math is one of the most useless class.

> Who reads Homer in your country, and why?

In the US, pretty much everyone with a high school education reads at least some Homer in translation.

> I'm very curious what motivates people to learn dead languages and read books thousands years old.

You're conflating learning Ancient Greek with reading Homer, but most of us read Homer in translation. Having read at least a little Homer is very common in the United States, having learned Ancient Greek or Latin is more unusual.

The two obvious reasons for reading Homer: it's a good story, and it's foundational to our culture. I guess you could dive into what makes it a good enough story to keep it around for thousands of years, or why knowing anything about culture is important... you don't believe you're going to get an adequate explication of those matters in a short HN comment, do you?

Something like Toastmasters in class form would've been nice.
