No, they wouldn’t; heck, his case has gotten attention recently because the crew of the Ever Given has become similarly trapped, and his case has been held up as an example of what might happen to that crew if the dispute between the SCA, and the owners and operators of the Ever Given continues.
HAHAHAHAH amazing that "engineers" believe this! Epic.
Violation of one's inalienable right to life (as written in the US declaration of independence, as well as the UN's universal declaration of human rights) is unlawful, regardless of any state legislation.

States can't legislate you out of your human rights.

One day the US federal courts will notice this error that they've made and fix the glitch.

As Churchill famously said, "You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else."
To be clear: I don't think that anyone is surprised to see a 4% error rate here. No one ever really thought this system was perfect, and in point of fact perfect determination of innocence wasn't even a design goal of the jury system. The point to selecting juries from the public is to make it harder for a corrupt government to employ its own law enforcement apparatus corruptly. (Whether that works is also an argument of some topicality right now...)

But yeah: given that the error rate is in the 1-2 9's range, it seems like applying it to capital cases is a horrifying mistake. Imagine a medical device with only a 99% chance of not killing you.

In fact, the video in his link that shows "correct" responsive design does exactly this, the text becomes larger or smaller in a seemingly random fashion as he zooms in. But to be fair to the BBC, I went to bbc.com and it doesn't seem to do that currently.
If the US us worried about cost, maybe they could stop throwing people in jail for non-violent drug charges -- particularly marijuana? That would reduce our prison cost a heck of a lot more than executing murderers, even if execution was much cheaper than lifetime imprisonment (which as others have pointed out, it's almost certainly not).
I believe it was a combination of two factors (I'm not Singaporean so it would be nice if someone could correct me). Most of the housing units are owned by the government and are leased out to prospective owners based on a pseudo-waiting list type system for a fixed term (50 years?), and Singapore tends to build more housing than the west.
> Dumping the python AST for builtins.print() makes it pretty clear that it's "print" though.

No, the AST only tells you it's a method call on something called "builtins." You need the separate semantic knowledge of what builtins is in order to figure it out. Parsing + AST just means it sees "method call of `print` on `builtins` object". Regular print calls would come through as "regular function call of `print`".
You are being disingenuous. A murderous psychopath is a danger to people. This is obvious and something that a five year old child can understand. Some people cross the line and forfeit their lives.

https://marsed.asu.edu/mep/atmosphere

from the website:

Relative to Earth, the air on Mars is extremely thin. Standard sea-level air pressure on Earth is 1,013 millibars. On Mars the surface pressure varies through the year, but it averages 6 to 7 millibars. That's less than one percent of sea level pressure here. To experience that pressure on Earth, you would need to go to an altitude of about 45 kilometers (28 miles). (Yes, you'll need a space suit to walk around on Mars.) The Martian surface pressure also varies due to elevation. For example, the lowest place on Mars lies in the Hellas impact basin, 7.2 km (4.4 mi) below "sea level." The pressure there averages about 14 millibars. But on top of Olympus Mons, 22 km (14 mi) high, the pressure is only 0.7 millibar.

Reasons Not to Upgrade Asp.net to Asp.net Core
It's always a dilemma: add these tools and become more productive or stick to the standard ones because you could be on a machine that only has the "standard" ones (base distro or even just POSIX).

I finally decided that having the "better" (for me) tools was the better way to go; now that it's more common to deploy on "cattle" it's not so hard to look for accidental dependencies.

Many people have to pay tax on their income before they use it too. Why should the person sitting on a fat investment portfolio not have to?

Can I borrow against these unrealized gains you say make no sense to tax and still spend the money, but perhaps never pay taxes on the gains ever??

If instead of taking income I take a carried interest in my portfolio can I defer taxes - maybe forever?

By the way, all these are the loopholes that are CURRENTLY being used by the well off to avoid paying taxes.

Seriously - why do you think portfolio lines of credit are so popular?

JSON query operators are somewhat unusual because it's very common to need to chain many operators in a row, which would be very verbose if named functions would be used instead - the vector similarity is different in this regard, and that terseness isn't necessary.
I think you should reconsider the use of "vindicate" since none of the definitions I can find seem to apply at all. And your latest reply doesn't seem to clear up what you mean in your usage.
Yep, not all semiconductor defects can be repaired, and at such scale repair circuits themselves will need to be redundant.
Well quite to opposite it’s a pretty good example of lossy compression.

Lossless compression has to be lossless outside of any context or interpretation, it’s mathematically reversible.

This is rather a good analogy of a compression akin to say MP3.

It does lead to the same thing though if you think it through: There's always a constant number of transaction space available in a 10 minute window, which is auctioned off to Bitcoin users and yields a certain sum of unclaimed mining fees. This sum is importantly unrelated to either the current hashrate or the energy efficienc in standing up that hashrate.

As long as the total hashrate is "cheaper" than that, in terms of hardware and electricity costs, there is an economic incentive for somebody to start mining (more) – so somebody will.
I'm finding conflicting web docs about what algorithms pkzip prior to 2.0 (deflate == gzip) used. There were "shrink" and "implode", they had some run-length encoding, and some entropy coding (shannon fano trees, later replaced by huffman coding in deflate). My vague memory says there was an LZW among them, with PKZIP 0.8 or something, but I'm not sure.

What I am sure about, is that the predecessor to PKZIP, "PKARC", most certainly did use LZW; It was compatible with SEA ARC, but much, much faster (like 5x or so). SEA sued Phil Katz, and his response was to drop ARC compatibility and release PKZIP which was faster and better -- though the incumbent "deflate" method did not appear until version 2 a few years later.

Most people plead out because they’re ridiculously guilty.

I’m a crunchy hippie on criminal justice, but I’ve also seen these cases first hand working for an appellate judge. Prosecutors go after cases that are open and shut. You wouldn’t believe how much evidence there is in a typical case that doesn’t go to trial. They have the guy on CCTV with stolen goods in his car and cell phone records of fencing.

Innocence Projects weed out hundreds of meritless requests for help for the relatively few meritorious cases they take.

They probably aren't bothering to. The extreme economics for producing this type of chip are likely acceptable to the stakeholders.

Also, there is no reason they cant have some redundancy throughout the design so you can fuse off bad parts. It all really depends on the nature of the anticipated vs actual defects, which is an extraordinarily deep rabbit hole to climb into.
The problem with capital punishment is what do you do when you discover after the fact that the person was innocent?

If the justice system were perfect there could be a case for execution in place of life sentences, but it has been shown time and time again that going free depends more on the quality of your lawyer than the facts of the case. Prosecutors will lie and fabricate evidence because the cops did a terrible job and they figure you must be guilty. Even if it's not of this particular crime you're just the criminal type and they'll be doing society a favor by locking you away.

The system is highly classist and racist. It shouldn't be allowed to make such final decisions like killing someone. This makes it impossible to reverse the injustice in the future.

>Rotorcraft require more computing power than is available from typical rad-hardened processors.

the CPU on a fairly advanced quad, hex or octocopter on earth can be a STM32F7 or STM32H7 family microcontroller, which is not very powerful in terms of raw computing power. That's more than fast enough (in an earth environment) to pull in sensor input at a high Hz refresh rate from dual IMUs, barometer, GPS, and control up to eight motor ESCs, along with running the UARTs for communication to a remote control link, and additional spi, i2c or UARTs to do things like run camera gimbals.

By that clown logic, any hostile forces can freely invade and conquer the United States, because it's universally illegal to kill human beings, including enemies.
"If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
During the life of any heart this line keeps changing place; sometimes it is squeezed one way by exuberant evil and sometimes it shifts to allow enough space for good to flourish. One and the same human being is, at various ages, under various circumstances, a totally different human being. At times he is close to being a devil, at times to sainthood. But his name doesn't change, and to that name we ascribe the whole lot, good and evil."

The salaries in Germany for engineers are astoundingly low. Good engineers from India (I'm Indian working in SV) often ask me if it's worth migrating to Germany since US immigration is so hard.

The answer is absolutely not -- you can easily make 70k USD in India as a decent mid-level engineer which is the same as Germany. And you get to live like a king in your own country, don't have to learn German, put up with racism etc. In fact, a lot of US companies hiring in India pay more in India than Germany! I know a couple friends making ~200k in Amazon India at 8-10 years of experience.

Well, obviously nobody would volunteer unless things were going to change.

But surely the ships operating company had violated their operating agreement, giving the owner grounds to "evict" them, find a new operator, get the updated safety equipment and classification certificates, and pay for the fuel. Once that was done surely the ship would be unseized, and with a new crew installed, Egypt ought to be happy to cancel the guardianship.

This was all especially true back before it ran aground.

It would also seem like this all would be very much in the owner's interest as letting the ship decay cannot be good for the ships value, and they probably were not getting paid rent by the current operator for this.

But I'm guessing there is a lot more to this that the BBC article has left out.

I think where Chromium messed up is that rather than hand off their Password Manager, Bookmark Manager, and other sync capabilities they decided to roll their own and they just aren't that good. Rather than bookmark managers and password managers being able to integrate directly into Chromium, they instead require a separate extension. Maybe it is for the best, but with 0-day exploits becoming more prevalent it is starting to look like the best solution is to not save all your passwords in your web browser.

The ship looked quite large. I would imagine scrappers in Turkey or Pakistan would have paid well, considering the price of steel. But you'd need investors to pay for transport and any Egyptian fees. And to secure investors you'd need to resolve property rights, at least tentatively, to the point the ship could be released, likely requiring some experienced maritime lawyer able to work quickly to avoid getting bogged down in litigation.

I bet there would be significant profit in it, at least from the perspective of a handful of individuals, and especially if things could be arranged to make the sailor judgment proof--e.g. have his share of any proceeds go to family members--so free loaders (i.e. lazy ship owners, clients, and insurers) couldn't swoop in at the end to claim any proceeds. But it's not just a matter of profit; it's a matter of opportunity costs. All the parties most capable of pulling this off clearly felt there was more profit to be had by walking away and pursuing other opportunities.

Surely people on HN understand this phenomenon: there are an infinite number of profitable opportunities out there, but some are better than others, and there's only a finite amount of time and capital.
> Most people plead out because they’re ridiculously guilty.

I know many innocent people who plead out to avoid jail because they're looking at $250k in legal bills and a ~90% trial conviction rate. Juries, being amateurs, are not very good at avoiding bias, as they are completely untrained.

I'm not so sure that plea bargain rates are indicative of guilt either way.

I already mentioned the cult-of-personality example above and you breezed over it. Gang leaders are fully capable of executing kills from jail. They have influence that extends beyond the 4 walls they're contained to. Some of them have access to a vast array of money and dangerous people who they can delegate to. They can also actively influence or harm other prisoners in jail.

> a single notable exception to to this, which is the military

This is a bit of cognitive dissonance I find fascinating among the far right. I have had conversations with many people who clearly simultaneously believe:

1. The government can't do anything right.

2. We have the world's best military.

And yet for most it hasn't seemed to click that the military is a government program.

But, again, I think this gets to my larger point that because the military is such a source of prestige for many Americans (especially poorer ones with few other upward mobility options), they are able to maintain that bit of cognitive dissonance.

(And, to be clear, I absolutely do not think conservatives have a monopoly on cognitive dissonance. I see many different ones all along the political spectrum.)
