The concept of rehabilitation makes plenty of sense when everyone agrees that we live in a society of inequalities and that everyone has various privileges which have a real impact on their financial situation. Someone that is poor might resort to stealing or even violence because the situation in which he evolves demands it to survive. I am completely on board with that and it makes sense.

This man is a war criminal that that was directly and indirectly involved in murder and rapes. Worse, he actively enabled that behavior in his organization.

Now in an exercise in empathy, put yourself in the shoe of someone who saw his entire family be massacred. You don't understand why theymight find it insulting to their suffering that this man is eventually allowed to walk free.

To be clear you can disagree, but I really doubt that you don't understand.
Two Great Ecommerce Tools for Hyper-Growth and One Bad One
Not even equal. A GPU running games can coast on 100W-150W usage, whereas mining can and frequently stretches it to full power capacity, e.g. 320W on RTX 3080. Not to mention that mining is 24/7, gaming is not.

So no, not equal, not greater, in fact lower. And I think the Graphics Processing Unit should process graphics, don't you?
A friend of mine cut up her Kinesis Advantage to put a big trackball right in the middle. (There's enough space in the housing, especially if you are not afraid to cut and move the circuit board.)

A similar position might work for you?

I use a standing desk to be in a similar (but upright) position, because sitting is also bad for me.
It wouldn't be the first time Google miscalculated legal risk.

And they didn't say they fired her for exfiltrating documents. That's how most people will interpret what they said. But they left room to say it wasn't material.
Shameless plug: The other day I launched a new iOS/macOS Pinboard client named Pins (Show HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25881622)

If you're looking for a modern client for Pinboard, give it a try.
I'm currently migrating from the Kinesis Advantage to the Advantage 2.

The old Advantage has served me well, but it's USB implementation seems to interact really badly with some modern laptops.
> in a perfect world, it shouldn't have to.

Well not exactly. E.g. in the Netherlands we have open building and address data. It took the community, with many volunteers, like a year to import that into OpenStreetMap.

Compiling open data into a comprehensive map without duplicate data or rough edges is a lot of work. I agree that all governments can make this a huge lot easier by just publishing what they already made with public funding, but that doesn't mean OSM would suddenly cease to have a right to exist. It would just be able to improve its quality even further.

In a perfect world, rather, commercial maps shouldn't have to exist.

Chevrolet Will Pay the Level 2 Installation Cost for Bolt EV and EUV Customers
The mandate of the department is ethics. Ethics is not agnostic to one's personal convictions, unlike code. People assume that because someone got fired, they "lost". Another viewpoint is that they retained their ethical integrity at great personal cost - doing so is precisely their actual job.
Haha yeah that type of stuff was pretty amazing to me. I remember stone of Jordan rings and armour and stuff hacked with some unique bow quality that made your armour and stuff glowing white were 'the things to have' at least for a while.

Though no two were alike and some people somehow had even more hacked shit than the pitiful programs I found could create.

It did definitely introduce me to the world of being able to modify programs and playing with the data files of games.

I feel like these days with the high stakes surrounding online gaming and.cheating and everything and just the money involved in the game industry sometimes fun gets left by the wayside.
Some people are also thinking about making the first manned missions one-way.

I forgot that I use Twitter sometimes and have pictures of another Moonlander experiment: mounting it to my chair! https://twitter.com/petersergeant/status/1356057651931537408

I did eventually get parts for both sides. One of the flexible arm clamp tripod mount thingies was not stiff enough to hold the keyboard up, but the other one was great. Since they were both the same part from the same order... it's kind of a crapshoot as to whether or not it will work. But I will continue to experiment.
The US, and most countries have moved to a first to file patent system. Whoever files first owns the IP. The Chinese could further develop the research than patent it in the US.

If they don’t patent it, they could publish it ahead of Stanford and get credit for the discovery. It happens all the time even ignoring China’s growing presence.

Scooping research can be either publishing or patenting.

I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts. I can share what worked for me.

Remap CapsLock to Windows/Super. Mirror Ctrl and Alt from the left thumb cluster onto the right thumb cluster, so you have Ctrl and Alt in reach of each thumb.

Don't be afraid to customize special keys and punctuation. Especially that big Delete key under your left thumb. That's prime real estate.

If you have larger hands, buy some of the stick-on palm rest pads. They'll help bring your wrists to the right angles.
> BTC will probably dominate in countries were currency value is routinely destroyed (developing nations, Russia, the US and Europe to some extent)

I’m not a fan of the current inflation in the US, but the idea that the US currency is being destroyed has been blown out of proportion online. People like to quote M1 money supply as if it’s the only measure of wealth, while ignoring that investors weren’t keeping investments in cash in the first place. Inflation drives up the value of assets, by definition.

Were Snowden's leaks ethical?

It's pretty common for rule-breaking and law-breaking to be ethical when rules, laws, and norms are unethical.
Any of these:

* Garmin (required to adhere to GDPR)

* Empatica E4 (required to adhere to GDPR) (for more advanced use)

* Microsoft Band 2 (open source API on Github)

* Suunto (required to adhere to GDPR)

Personally, the Garmin Fenix 6 or Garmin Enduro (if the new Enduro gets good reviews) are the ones I would recommend for general use.

Apple may do various appealing things, but they are not obligated to adhere to GDPR. The app creators for the Apple Watch are certainly not required to adhere to GDPR.

Ironically, the ones that adhere to strict privacy regulations tend to have more solid technology. These technologies have been utilized for impressive research in journal articles.

Just wanted to pop in and say that Cloudron is excellent and I really, really love it. I discovered it a few years ago and it's just fantastic.

CapRover is excellent too but of all the various tooling I've tried over the years, Cloudron is hands-down the most polished option I've seen/used!
A few years back Al Jazeera English did a documentary on a large brothel-town in Bangladesh:

Well, what she is doing is called performative acitvism. She is doing staged martyrdom in front of Twitter mob and activist media. She can try to do the job well, if she felt like she was being hired as a PR move and not for any actual impact, she should've quit and told her story. I guess she didn't feel she will get any media attention if she has taken the high road. Instead she created all these drama including blatantly violating company policy. I am not sure whether she has done all these things in good faith.

Unfortuantely the amount media attention (including this very thread) these people get, it will encourage more staged martyrdoms. Soon, we will have our own tech industry reality TV show. Sadly, that's the reality we are heading into right now.
Its worse than that. At least Religions deals with abstract ideas, and useful abstractions, like forgiveness, ritual and so on. The current twitter mobs are all about throwing stones, with zero self reflection.
Yes, and we should focus more on implementing self-driving cars, which if widely implemented, will see rapid incremental improvement through trial and error, until fatal car accidents are reduced to nearly zero as human error is taken out of the picture and software error approaches zero.

The anti-profit/SV mindset needs to be rejected in favor of a pro-innovation mindset of libertarianism.

That would be vandalism. The correct action is adding the tag:

access=private

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aaccess%3Dprivate

OSM has a rather straightforward way of mapping things: if it's there, we map it. If the USA claims to own Poland, then we do nothing. If the USA actually occupies parts of Poland, then we change the tags to reflect that reality. Not to indicate that they own it, perhaps, but at least to indicate that it's stably under their control. Conflicts (I'm a moderator in an OSM chat, it can get very heated) mostly arise from people who don't like reality and want it to be shown differently. But their issue is with the renderer, e.g. OsmAnd, for showing it as belonging to what they perceive to be really theirs and unfairly occupied. But that doesn't change what the underlying data should show: reality. I'm having a hard time thinking of what would create a true conflict without clear solution.
and whenever they get into a new space like tablets, grocery delivery, or game dev it mostly doesn't go well... Alexa is probably the exception
I've had that a lot for years after College. During College, I skipped a lot of classes and instead studied by borrowing books from the library, it worked well in terms of learning but it meant that if I failed my exams, my teachers would probably not hesitate to expel me. That added a lot of pressure and is most likely why I've been having that dream regularly since even 15 years later.

Or speak out publicly. Always an option without making any drama and being professional. [FTFY]

It scares me that so many people in this thread can't (or unwilling to) differentiate between creating drama and being proferssional.

Reverse engineered code is still copyrighted by the owners. The proper legal way to get source is to take a clean room approach where one team reversed the code, writes a specification, and a second team rewrites the program from the spec without ever seeing the original code.

have an ideal in mind that goes beyond that 'growth at all costs' stage in which the company could actually increase the health of its ecosystem.

Ideal is right, because that is idealistic to the point of naivete. The second a company takes its eye off the ball and starts trying to better the world, its competitors swoop in and take over.

The right answer is for a society to create laws that ensure the behavior we want to see out of corporations. When that's not effective because corporations have undue influence on the legal system, then it's very clear and simple the problem you need to solve.

Someone you know might have mapped that! Local data usually comes from the locals. If you enjoy it, one easy way to also contribute is with the StreetComplete app, which just asks you questions like "is this street lit" (my girlfriend actually asked me for that data once, if I knew how to figure out which roads are lit, so she could go running after dark and plan a good distance without going into dark areas).

> but I think it is much more likely...

...but you really have no idea.

You’re just speculating, in a way that conforms with how you’d like to interpret these events.

Which, to be fair, is what we’re all doing, with basically no information on what actually happened.

At this point, it’s all just the he-said-she-said from the Google PR machine.

I think in this case, there’s little reason for someone without bias to accept Google’s versions of events.

Maybe you’re right; if you’re not, maybe she’ll sue. Maybe not.

What is clear though is that what you think is likely, is probably not particularly indicative of what actually happened because, flat out, you have no idea.

None of us really do at this point.
I think the implication is that the corporate minions knowingly inflict and delight in our suffering.
perhaps a little naive
Corps have a habit of buying in US services tailored for a US audience and then just blithely pushing that crap out to all their international employees with scant attention about outcomes, its just "mandatory".

As such you have to watch some real thoughtless, poorly put together, bottom of the barrel crap so legal can tick a box that diminishes their responsibility.
Given the motivations at play here I wouldn't be surprised if they ballsed it up like this.
> Do a search for the new devices promising blood pressure (Samsung I think) or blood glucose monitoring (Apple). One of those might fit your needs when they become available. Beyond that have a look at medical web sites to see what hospitals are using (although those devices tend to require a prescription and are usually only sold to hospitals).

This device is FDA approved to what you described (not blood glucose yet--but is technically capable): Biobeat Watch BB-613: https://www.bio-beat.com/copy-of-clinical-trials-and-researc...

It is Israeli technology and they do excel at things like photoplethysmography (PPG) and coulometry, from a historical standpoint.

But, the Empatica E4 is 100% capable of doing what you described above. You just have to use Lab Streaming Layer to interface with whatever you are programming in, such as Python. You basically reimplement prior research papers in your own code. However, it does not have an SpO2 sensor.
I use a Garmin Vivosmart 4 or a Xiaomi Mi Band (v4 or v5) and simply don't connect it to the smartphone. That gets you access to the data on your wrist, but no log of the data. Great privacy with no data collection. If you want data collection maybe you can find an app that doesn't upload to the cloud or write your own; some fitness tracking apps can talk to a variety of devices and don't use the cloud. The Gadget Bridge web site has a list of which devices are compatible with it:

https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge

They do list the Pebble Steel. I'd try the Mi Band 5. The Vivosmart 4 is somewhat unstable in my experience.

The Back Ends for Front Ends (BFF) Pattern
A company, Google included, will not comment on the circumstances of an employee's exit unless provoked. It is uncharacteristic for them to comment at all. If they are willing to go public with any statements, that indicates to me that they feel their reasons are iron-clad.

Yes, we need to align incentives with conservation/consumption and minimize externalities.

Unfortunately, because our buildings are not built by the parties that have to pay for consumption, that's not enough to incentivize energy efficient / green building construction.

There's probably some costs that need to be shared including leaky pipes and fire departments that increase in times of heat, but that seems unlikely to account for a tripling. Your water department probably charged that way because there are water hogs that create jobs/food/etc. who wouldn't be able to foot the actual bill of their water use, so while they wanted to incentivize conservation they also wanted everyone to share the bill. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; we're in this together and need money and food.

My trick is that historically when I was bored (or on the toilet) I would always reflexively reach for social media (mainly reddit) to pass the time.

A couple years ago I made the conscious decision to stop using reddit, but wanted something to replace those little moments of downtime[1] with.

So I bought a nice-looking Pinboard client[2] for my phone, and have trained myself to reach for pinboard in those little moments of boredom, generally reading through things in my "read later" queue.

>>At a 2015 blockchain event, Nairobi-based bitcoin pioneer Elizabeth Rossiello answered an audience question about the impact on Somalians of a recent shutdown in remittance inflows after the U.S. government had labeled the country a “high-risk jurisdiction.” The AZA Group CEO’s answer was blunt: “They starve.”

Remember, under financial-mass-surveillance (AML) laws, you're guilty until proven innocent, and your nationality and residency can be considered as proof of guilt.
Yes exactly, a American country with terrible roads.

How can Google map roads in the Americas with their terrible roads?

We don't make distinctions between any African countries anymore so I think it's only fair we start treating the other continents the same way.

The discovery of antibiotics happened by accident while performing a completely different study, following that example we shouldn't fund these projects at all.

And you severely underestimate the number of moonshots there are. Imagine trying to find penicillin by the method you describe. There are thousands of species of mold, many of which are harmful to humans. The genus penicillium alone has over 300 species. Such a study would take decades while costing a fortune before reaching any results.
Their fear is mostly about MSP (Minimum selling price) and lack of ability to negotiate with corporate buyers. There are indeed some monopoly dangers.

Of course there are political motives too..
