I'm no expert, but I think it makes a huge difference whether you're in a flimsy, wooden ship with even flimsier sails made of cloth, or in a 400m long, extremely massive steel vessel with a reliable internal combustion engine.
Some of the news stories like this: https://nypost.com/2021/03/24/giant-container-ship-blocking-... are claiming that ship is partially free, what does it mean ? I am confused ....
Or just blowing it up and push the pieces to the sides I would guess...
it follows then that we should consider blowing up the ship
I don't understand the question. Try restating the question without using the word "it".
I found out about screen-sharing through browser when I started using Discord app on the web. Was a very revealing moment for me when it came to insane advances in web technology.

Well... maybe a little evil.
My rule of thumb to avoid these issues is that application/server data gets its own dedicated volume that contains nothing else: logs get their own volume, and root its own. It's an especially bad idea for an application to put its data and logs in the same directory where its binaries reside.

That way, even if your log volume or root somehow fills up before monitoring had a chance to react, your service is unaffected. You can even catch issues pre-emptively by keeping log volumes small so that weird behaviour is likely to trigger an alert before anything goes truly wrong.

On cloud instances, it's silly to put anything on the instance root volume (on AWS, I keep them at the default 8 GB; it's never been a problem) when you can just attach an arbitrary number of additional disks. Container systems would use persistent volumes, and with physical servers, you use LVM or equivalent. This solves most disk allocation issues and makes operations easy when you need more space.
You can use a Librem 5 in this exact way. I do it - it's fast enough to run an IDE and do some programming (as long as the thing you work on compiles in reasonable time), check e-mail, IM and social media, do some light browsing etc. I have GIMP, Inkscape, Audacity and LMMS there, which together with Qt Creator are pretty much all the tools I need for my gamedev work - and now I can do that on my phone attached to a screen, keyboard and mouse. Jamulus, Mumble, mpd, even some lighter games and emulators - it all works, straight from Debian repos. It's pretty fun.

I have even ran a full Plasma Desktop on an external screen this way - and it worked surprisingly well even despite of GPU acceleration not being available there because of a bug.
Can you tell us a bit more about your experience with them? And costs?
Wow! The source code is extremely readable as well. This is great documentation. Bookmarking for sure.

That isn't my understanding of civil forfeiture. Basically they accuse your stuff and take it. Now you have to convince the court that it isn't I'll gotten gains.... That is if you have the time and money to fight it.

A judge did and it went to the SCOTUS:

https://reason.com/2017/06/20/although-juries-can-acquit-the...

Quoth the judge:

> You cannot substitute your sense of justice, whatever that means, for your duty to follow the law, whether you agree with it or not. It is not for you to determine whether the law is just or whether the law is unjust. That cannot be your task. There is no such thing as valid jury nullification. You would violate your oath and the law if you willfully brought a verdict contrary to the law given to you in this case.

On the juries I’ve served the instructions were extremely limiting and there was an implicit “no jury nullification here”, but they were not as direct as the judge in this case.
thank you for the journey! (I must be getting old, loving these)
I haven’t read the Federalist Papers, but I would assume that they touched on the reasons why the right to a jury trial was included in the Constitution.
Arm chair internet legal expert shares why legal scholar on Supreme Court is always “on the wrong side”.

Always exciting stuff to read!
Also, the court has gone out of its way over the past 70 or so years to carve out standards protecting and empower police which aren't outlined anywhere in statute or the constitution.

For example, Terry v. Ohio establishes a standard of "reasonable suspicion" which the court practically just made up.

Another is Gonzales v. Raich In which the court decided the federal government can sieze, destroy and regulate marijuana grown for personal medical use because the 4th amendment allows the federal government to regulate interstate trade. And one person's personal supply would prevent them week my it on the interstate market. That's like saying the federal government can stop your grandma knitting a cap for your baby because it affects the interstate baby clothes trade. Talk about activist judging. That reasoning is two sizes too small.

People like to believe there is an umpire at the end of the day that can "objectively" interpret law. It's why textualism and originalism have become so popular. The idea is comforting. But like most decisions everyone makes, the justices feel, decide and justify in that order.
There are several (many?) cases where given a certain set of circumstances officers are allowed to shot an unarmed fleeing individual. One that immediately jumps to mind is an inmate attempting escape from prison. Even in blue states correctional officers have legal authority to shoot prisoners attempting escape. (PS I’m not a police officer or a CO.) these are laws on the books. They can be changed (if you think they should be).
I guess this rabbit hole continues if one asks what the point of such testing could be. One thing I'd find useful is that I could take screenshots (or live demo this site) if I was doing some non-web-development thing such as doing a presentation and wanted to explain WebAuthn flow or something.

Because if I was a developer doing development, I'd test browsers with what I developed.
This is false. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/civil_forfeiture. Once the assets are seized, there is a burden of proof on the owner to prove that the property was not guilty.
That's pretty old news. These days ultrasound mics and speakers can act almost like lowres webcams.
I only had time to go through the gentoo one. Although I never used gentoo and think that minimal perf improvements like those mentioned throughout are silly in exchange for having to know all the incantations and borking your OS every other monday, vs having something that works out of the box, I don't disagree entirely with the binary/source idea.

But it would need a different kind of OS and lib organisation than the ones we have right now to make it feasible.
The suspect was, at no point during the time period relevant to complaint, under the physical control of the police. That's the point. You can say that you were "seized" if the physical control lasted 10 seconds or 10 years, but in this case there was only attempted seizure.
Seems like this requires you to select some text (which includes some text that's been hidden using CSS tricks) and copy it. So it's not like the website can just arbitrary write to your clipboard without your interaction? (Still, this is kinda scary and I didn't know about this.)
The ship isn't floating though, that's the problem. But I'd imagine it's very stable when trying to lift stuff of due to it being stuck.

Different question to whether Elon Musk is a Con Artist. Con artist would imply that there is no intent to deliver. It also suggests that all efforts he makes are for the purpose of obtaining money without delivery. While this dishonest conduct should be made clear, evidence that self driving is a scam does not make him only a con artist. Conversely, evidence that it isn't a scam doesn't really make him a saint. That's the nuance that the grandparent was trying to convey.
I feel like everyone was going through massive amounts mental gymnastics to justify how NFTs are not just a scam like they look on the surface but how they are actually legitimate. News companies chipped in with the "well um actually value is just made up anyway"

But no, in the end it was just another crypto scam.
Me either. Getting some critical job done is impossible during normal working time when I get a lot of direct questions over slack and have to spend my time on meeting and communication.

The hard thing is that it's not easy to explain critical job' result to the team. Most people simply think that's [my] job.

The very annoying thing to me is that people tend to ask via PM. Why don't they just ask question on common group where there are a lot of people in the team can help? Oh... that's then Slack @here and @channel are problems. They are using that too much, and people don't care anymore lolz

It’s not just libertarians. I’m sure that even communists accept the premise of human self interest, but instead of private property their solution is for one all powerful government to own everything
Sadly the division responsibility of the government branches do not match what you are taught in 6th grade government class. The overwhelmingly VAST majority of laws are passed by the executive branch. The common law system uses judicial precedence to determine how to rule in cases which can also be considered establishing law.
The legislative branch has the purse strings and motivation to not take a hard stance for or against any piece of legislation.
I had already been drinking coffee for at least 6 years by that time.

But I was actually thinking of trying it again for a longer period of time (~ 6 months) and seeing what happens.

That's not how this works. The state moved to dismiss on one set of grounds. That dismissal was granted by the lower court. From there, the case can't proceed until those grounds are settled. This type of thing is very common. It's exactly the same as why standing is established before evidence in civil cases.
> Objects bind functions and data structures together in indivisible units. I think this is a fundamental error since functions and data structures belong in totally different worlds. Why is this?

> *Functions do things. They have inputs and outputs. The inputs and outputs are data structures, which get changed by the functions. In most languages functions are built from sequences of imperatives: “Do this and then that …” to understand functions you have to understand the order in which things get done (In lazy FPLs and logical languages this restriction is relaxed).

> Data structures just are. They don’t do anything. They are intrinsically declarative. “Understanding” a data structure is a lot easier than “understanding” a function.
Functions are understood as black boxes that transform inputs to outputs. If I understand the input and the output then I have understood the function. This does not mean to say that I could have written the function.

Mostly trivial definitions plus a bizarre definition of "understand" for functions, the relevance of which is unclear.

> Functions are usually “understood” by observing that they are the things in a computational system whose job is to transfer data structures of type T1 into data structure of type T2.

Not even true. Oftentimes a function's job is to change the state of a data structure, or compute a new structure of the same type.

> Since functions and data structures are completely different types of animal it is fundamentally incorrect to lock them up in the same cage.

Sloppy metaphor that doesn't follow from any of the previous gibberish.
This is a really good question with a frustratingly simple answer: OTAs like Booking.com have "rate parity" contracts guaranteeing them equal rates to the hotels' direct booking sites and any other channels they use: https://businessblog.trivago.com/rate-parity-hotel-industry-... - and these have de facto been upheld in the US court system.

So if you're a hotel deciding whether to invest resources into your own branding and marketing, vs. investing it into a brand new coop that itself can't undercut the household-name OTAs that are spending vast amounts of marketing dollars and years of SEO work to make household names, you'll invest in yourself.
if you use a library for Chinese/Japanese tokenization (which is harder because the lack of space), it seems like the rest of the code would work?
The case was dismissed with a summary judgement, which is one of the earliest points a case can be dismissed. Arguing that the action was unreasonable is highly fact specific, and so cannot be done in summary judgement. In contrast, arguing that no seizure occured requires to finding of fact, because there was no dispute of any relevent fact, and so is done first.
> So log in as root and fix the issue. Simple.

"just fix the issue" often takes longer than 'rm spacer.img', which allows non-root processes to begin working immediately.

In practice, the 5% root reserve is not really an effective substitute for OP's technique.
I added "(re. RMS)" to the title, as it's otherwise uselessly vague. Did it get reverted automatically?
Yeah, thanks for mentioning GEB, it was really the original inspiration for my previous question.

I read the book years ago, and loved it. Learning about Gödel's incompleteness theorems had already my blown my mind; Escher already was, and still is, my favorite visual artist. I remember well, at a general level, the book's explanations of counterpoint, constraints, and logic in Bach's compositions. In stark contrast to the rest of the book's content, that was all somewhat academic since the book didn't play any music.

Ever since reading the book, it has greatly saddened me to think about how much enjoyment I get from the work of Gödel and Escher, and that I'm missing out on the third component of Hofstadter's holy trinity of self-reference.
Hmmm... raise the water, lower the sand, raise the ship, unload the heavy parts of the ship, make the water more dense. Blast a canal around the ship? cut the ship in half?

Are you sure they do in this case? Appeals happen as part of a complex process, and it's possible the question of whether it's OK to shoot a fleeing suspect may not have been before the Court directly.

The Supreme Court has more power to go beyond the question before them than other courts do. But that's mostly because there's nobody to challenge them when they do. For the most part, they avoid ruling too broadly.
And what does that mean? For 170 odd years the constitution has guaranteed people representation in court. But until Gideon v. Wainwright in 1963, if you were broke, your chances of getting any kind of representation varies greatly from one state or county to the next. Finally, a fairly activist court decided to interpret that right as a specific literal individual civil right. And one of the most well known aspects of our court system is born. One which we tout every time we question the ethical qualifies of other countries.

But why did it take so long. Why, when the court was less activist could this not be read literally and universally as we so clearly think it reads today. If it's just about," interpreting the constitution" and if there was some better time when judges knew their place, why couldn't they see it?

You can say the same about aspects of the first amendment, the second, the fourth and many others. Practically everything we say is great about the American legal system and our civil liberties owes to a judge acting a bit like an activist primarily between the years of 1930 and 1970.
If I believe that the law as applied to particular case is unjust I would nullify without second thought. Fuck the law if it goes against basic human values. And I am glad that as fucked as US justice system is it still allows for such outcome. At least in theory.
Or maybe you are a developer of that is using one of the features for the first time. Now you can check out the permission flow without having written any code. Similar to live examples in MDN.
This sounds the most likely, tbh. Apple has been breaking the spec for years, but they’ve been very testy about ever mentioning their custom extensions and ARM has probably agreed to look the other way as long as they don’t draw attention to the fact.

A third world country would indeed just run a slave camp. First world countries are more sophisticated and achieve the same result within the legal framework. They do it because they love mental gymnastics. Amazon comes to a 3rd tier town, wipes out competition by undercutting them, becomes the only employer in town and then tells the workers to bend, and they do because Amazon has made sure they have no choice.
Wow! What a fascinating listen back in time!

OK, It depends what you meant with suburban. If you mean the suburbs close to the big cities, sure they are part of the wealth generation. A large part of people living in those suburbs are using public transport to commute to work.

The issue with cars is that it is impossible to build enough roads. The more you build the more convenient it becomes so more people drive etc. And of course the other externality of carbon pollution.

Discover, share and organise the best resources on the Internet
Hey HackerNews and YC! I'm Ganesh Prasad Rao one of the co-founders of Treeved.
This is my first time posting on HackerNews. I'm here after I saw a video of Kat Mañalac on youtube, where she told about how awesome Hacker News community is!

I would love to hear your thoughts on this:

Treeved is a social platform where you can Discover, share and organise the best resources on the Internet.
You can find resources related to any particular topic/field/study/genre. If resources for a particular topic don't exist, then you can share links and contribute to the topic of your interest. Like in most social networks, users who sign up on Treeved can follow each other, share posts, build communities around topics.Each link that is posted on Treeved is unique, i.e., even if two people share the same link, the reviews and ratings associated with that link is shown to both of them - currenly no company does this.Links/Lists are indexed, rated, ranked, personalised and recommended to the Treeved community.

The main reason why you'd use Treeved is:
Currently, there's no platform where you can share resources that you are passionate about, like movies, art, technology, medicine etc.

Some Insights that'll make you think:
—

Treeved in 3-5 years has the potential to grow as an ed-tech social network plus search engine. Treeved will be a platform where links will be rated, reviewed and consumed like products on a shopping site. This will ensure free-quality educational content to millions and can potentially transform Ed-Tech.
Treeved is so many ideas and possibilites wrapped into one platform.

Long story short... I ended up paying $100 to have him let us go. I then regretted it, but... What could you do in these situations? Is it worth the trouble? Can a proper behavior (refusing to bribe) change things?
