"that there would be any hostility facing the officers"

From [1]: "Plessinger said Jones refused to answer the door for 20 minutes and hung up on agents. Jones eventually let the agents into the home, she said.

Her family was upstairs when agents entered, Plessinger said.

The 31-second video Jones posted on Twitter shows agents entering her home with their guns drawn. Jones tells the officers that her husband and two children are upstairs as they direct her outside of the house.

One of the agents points his gun toward the stairwell. An officer shouts, “Police, come down now.”

As the video ends, Jones yells, “He just pointed a gun at my children.” The video does not show any children, or agents pointing guns at any children. FDLE said agents didn’t point guns at anyone."

...

There's a couple things missing from your comment:

1) The person refused to answer the door for 20 minutes, which is definitely a form of resistance and an indicator of possible problems, at which frankly, SOP probably kicks in and 'guns are drawn' at the point of entry.

2) The cops deny pointing guns at anyone, including children.

So frankly, that seems very reasonable.

While all of the journalists seem to want to recount only one side of the story, and only even part of it - is frankly deeply troubling, and it's misinformation of a serious kind. Right now we are getting really spooked about 'someone' misinforming American about election results, and attacking the integrity of the press, so I'm perennially amazed that journos want to avoid the important details that provide context.

Finally, remember there's SOP (standard operating procedure). There are a lot of guns in America, and people are pretty violent in general in terms of trying to get away, or to assail cops in the process. Most warrants served are probably not for 'hacking' rather more violent actions, and there may very well be established SOP about when to draw and not.

If the incident basically amounted to:
1) No answer at door
2) Cops enter with guns draw, point only upstairs urging people to come down.

Then it's completely reasonable.

Obviously, nobody should be pointing guns at regular people for white collar crimes, but as usual, all this might have been avoided if the individual answered the door and 'used her words'.

Also, the 'big story' here is the possibility of someone being harassed for whistle-blowing, which is disconcerting, but that's not so much relevant when worrying about the specific facts of an altercation.

Yeah, that's unrealistic - in the real world you have access to the internet, to your notes, to other people. As long as you can apply that knowledge, as long as you can show that "ok, here I want to use XYZ because of ABC", I think that's what matters.
> but why the hate against kubernetes?

Because it adds a massive account of (to some degree hidden) complexity. Especially it adds a lot of additional (potential subtle) failure modes.

And while this is more a property of micro services then of kubernets, there is some demand for a more opinionated simpler alternative. (There had been a HN article about that recently).

Hmm - I think that's my point - it's no longer the web is it - just a way to deliver traditional applications.

I can see if you want to write an Excel in the web - that you might have a complex code base - but surely that's the exception - not the rule?

So back to the statement of 'modern web = ts'

Isn't that wrong - these applications aren't really web - and are the exception, not the norm?
> If you imposed the existing rules on China, things would become unreasonably expensive.

For a time, yes. But the large market reachable by meeting those requirements would lead to innovation in trying to meet those requirements. (Or in trying to cheat those requirements, which would require some care to enforce.)

They can also be enforced via a ratchet upwards, so that there's time to adapt.
Show HN: Need Idea Validation? Submit your idea, we'll roast each other's idea
Being an entrepreneur is daunting enough, and thank god most startup communities are super nice and supportive, yet sometimes I wish somebody had slapped me in the face before I quit my job and spent my life savings into developing a groundbreaking social network for pets.

IMO, not all ideas are created equal, and the best way to validate an idea is to talk to others about it, which can be difficult and costly. Also, entrepreneurs tend to get stuck in "idea lock," when they are hellbent that their idea is a winner, regardless of what others say. At this stage, what you want is brutally honest feedback. If you are the only person who truly thinks the idea is good, then maybe it is time to reassess.

So before making your in-laws sign the NDA, head over to https://roastmyidea.com for a reality check. And after that, if you're still eager to proceed with the idea, you should begin doing market research on it.
It's good to hear that's changed. When I was in Dallas that was certainly not the case.

Sadly, rails, django and other “opinionated orm & http” are two or three steps below than what I meant.

I'd expect loading+unloading to be similar in duration once the program has developed far enough.

The limiting factor that I think is prohibitively limiting starship from dropshipping cargo, is the need for a landing (and launch!) site, an optional SH booster for the return flight and 1200 tons of methalox fuel to get the ship back to base for reuse (4800 with SH booster). So it'd need the rocket equivalent of an airplane carrier, which has not been developed yet.
For me, TLS errors would happen every so often after we had used all our data allowance and our connection was being shaped to a slow speed. Once the speed returned to normal it was fine. I always thought it was the slow speed but maybe there were bugs in the shaping software.
Subscribe to a "serious" popular-science magazine (e.g. Scientific American, or Spektrum der Wissenschaft if you're German). They won't give you a comprehensive overview, but they will pick out recent highlights and offer more in-depth articles on multiple topics, at a level understandable to readers who are scientifically literate but not experts.

Also, see if you can find good blogs by researchers in the topics you're interested in. There are some good ones out there (as an ecologist, I like "Ecology for the Masses"). Their spectrum will be a lot narrower than a magazine - constrained by the authors' expertise and interests - but they can be more "bleeding edge".

Judging by many, many reviews of smartphones, most people do deeply care about the quality and features of their phone's camera, and it's very likely to be the only camera many people have.

There are a lot of current and former lambda school students who are dissatisfied and they’re posting a lot on the subreddit.

Example

> Lambda feels more and more like a pyramid scheme every few months. When I started everything was great, it was structured in such a way that as a student you met in groups to discuss lectures and you could easily focus on only your code while someone else who was ahead in the program could apply for a small leadership role and get paid for a part-time gig leading these groups. Time has moved on... these roles seem to have fallen by the wayside to pave the way for having students become teachers for other students under the guise of 'learning leadership' . It happened gradually as the first few cycles of this were something you could opt in or out of but now have been fully integrated and mandated. The coding bootcamp has now become more of a coding/middle-management bootcamp. Not what more than a few students I've spoken with could be called happy about paying for - but most of our e-mails come back with disappointment as we have no options to say nah, this isn't what I signed on for.

"During the rainy season (December to March) the salt flat gets covered with a layer of water. As the water evaporates under largely still conditions, the salt forms hexagonal shapes (optimal for heat transfer) on its surface known as Bénard cells, an example of the Rayleigh–Bénard convection [1] phenomena."

Japan boosts AI funding to help residents find love
Correct. Taking a break or having a rest is for better productivity. I've experienced it myself and seeing colleagues who spent many hours trying to be productive but it is not helpful. At the same time,personal mental and physical health becoming worst, which eventually causing even lower productivity, a bigger mess.
Also, by current US and European standards South Korea is carrying out very few Covid-19 tests, which makes it hard to make a meaningful comparison of case numbers. Well over an order of magnitude less in per-capita terms. I believe they're still not routinely offering testing to people with mild potential symptoms unless they've had recent contact with a known case, and there's evidence that it's in increasingly widespread circulation outside of the network of cases known to contact tracing.

Plus, you've got to remember that disease outbreaks grows exponentially, and exponential growth always has low numbers at the start until it doesn't.
That's not the reason aerospace is essentially a duopoly.

The real reason is that every single aircraft development program in recent history has been late and over budget, and now aircraft development is something that costs an eyewatering billions of dollars, if not in the tens of billions of dollars at this point. Bombardier sold, Embraer tried to, and Japan, Russia, and China have all mostly sputtered on despite having well financed government backing.

To put this in perspective, 787 development cost $32B. 737MAX is expected to cost past $18B. You can't bootstrap a startup if it takes tens of billions of dollars to get a plane out of the factory.

I think that's a good rule when linking to secondary sources, because the name of the source isn't essential to understanding the topic.

But the name of the company the article is about is important enough to be part of the title, even if the link happens to go to an article on a domain associated with that company.
On the grand scale of things, I don't have that many years of work experience under my belt. What do you think would be the optimal evolution of a company from day 1 would be in this context?

If you find yourself doing in-code joins across microservices, you need to stop and think:

Are my services correctly scoped? Am I doing these joins because there is maybe a higher level domain that goes across these two services?

Should I re-scope my services? Or should I build an Aggregator-View service that holds a JOINED copy of the data.

These aggregator-view services often make sense as Backend-For-Frontends. They must be restricted to a read-only API since they mirror data from other microservices.

GraphQL is a dead end when you are doing joins in code.
Yes, only based on the animated image I guess that the goal of the tool could be to encrypt just the passwords which are expected to be present in some plain text files in some bigger setups.

Out of curiosity is there any possibility that the new Microsoft Flight Simulator could ever run on Linux?
I think the thing here is that anyone can do good while making money- for instance, the longer-term PE groups mentioned around this thread that have respect from the companies they now own, or the factories that make sure that their employees are safe, paid well, and allow a work/life balance, or the finance companies that donate to charities and the like. The issue is that when money becomes the primary motivator for getting out of bed in the morning- and ethos and pathos get thrown out of the window entirely- you get companies who don't care about their employee's well-being or who don't care about the people on the other end of the line.

The semantic formatting seems better to me, but I feel like I'll get used to almost any reasonable formatting. If you spend enough time with a consistently formatted codebase, your eye will be drawn to the important parts when you review code. In a tiny way, you develop "expertise" with the formatting, and when you look at other code there is an ever-so-subtle friction to understanding it. Manually reindenting code after editing or refactoring it is also pretty annoying, though of course that's the instinct that "code is meant to be read" is intended to argue against.

It's interesting that the creator of Rubocop isn't that bullish on Prettier, because my company literally uses Rubocop to replicate a Prettier-like experience [1]. Rubocop makes a totally decent Prettier replacement, with the right rules. Another advantage of using a separate opinionated formatting tool is that you avoid issues with a diversity of editors which never quite have the same auto-indentation to mess up code diffs.

In my world a company probes the market continuously to see what the market wants. The business analysts are getting a stream of requirements and then design new features. Then devs implement those features. Development stops when market growth slows down or when the investors cash in.

The only way to predict what all requirement will be in a product lifetime would be to invent a time machine. This is not what I call "a real solution".

The only real solution is to communicate a lot with the business analyst and make informed decisions on flexibility vs simplicity.
