In my state and I assume many others the plaintiff can choose whether to file in small claims or the normal general district court. The defendant can file to have a case moved from small claims to general district but not the other way around. Judges also do not have the ability to move a case from small claims to the normal general district process unless the parties agree. Companies therefore usually file using the normal general district process in other to achieve the very result documented in this article.
As a side note, I feel like I need to revisit Designing Data-Intensive Applications. I got almost nothing out of it the first time I read it but people on HN keep recommending as this absolute game-changing gem.
Exactly. I had to migrate a legal canadian gun business website from Shopify to Magento because Shopify changed their policies years ago.

Unless police see what they believe is a crime in progress, they aren't supposed to enter a private residence without permission anyway, right? I'm not sure how that can't be easily dealt with even in the problematic states by saying that permission for the police to enter the premises is also permission for them to record.
"At the same time I'm not sure what level of privacy people expect in a public bathroom."

They expect that the law should be followed, which stipulates no recording. Companies have tried for a long time to have security cameras in bathrooms, but it's not allowed. Now if they're responding to a call, then maybe that's an exception. Or they could change the law to allow recording in the bathroom, but there will probably be a ton of public pushback.
I know that this is true for many other countries, but is this in fact true for all other countries?
At the very least if any situation requires official capacity, the officer shouldn't have the camera off. The camera should have features like "toggle off for 5m" or "turn off persistent but you can't act as LE".

The situation remains that law enforcement has no real checks on their own power, and they've moved to restrict or block such checks on their power.
> As someone on the spectrum myself, I always dreaded job interviews. I would try to get as much information on what the interview would entail as well as the atmosphere and other specifics so I could mentally prepare myself beforehand and give myself a better chance to show my best side

I’m on the spectrum as well and interviews are a bit of a mixed bag for me. I hate everything around it, going to a new, unknown location, not knowing exactly where you end up, meeting new people, etc.

The interviews themselves, however, are fine. I basically get to talk about my special interest with people who are presumably equally knowledgable about the subject as I am. I usually enjoy them.
I am fully on board with the notion that our infrastructure has to become less car-centric, but I wouldn't describe myself as anti-car. I'd describe myself as being in favor of appropriate transportation.

Cars, like bikes, are tools. And tools can be used appropriately or inappropriately. Having one tool to address all needs guarantees that it will be used in cases where a different tool would be much better. The US needs to have more than one transportation tool.

It originally threw an error in Julia, but it turned out that checking if a file is a directory is a surprisingly expensive system call, so it was removed.

There's a line somewhere between political leanings in valid reporting, and pure opinion around made up topics.

I don't know much about CNN, and don't watch Fox, but from what I've heard the actual news segments on Fox aren't as bad, it's the opinion shows (most of which masquerade as news) that are the bad bit.

In the UK we have several popular news channels and each has their own leanings, and while I think it's important that viewers are mindful of those leanings, I don't think it's too far out there to say that one can assume they are not being out-right lied to, and it's rare for a news channel to ever say something actually dangerous. There are issues, there are complaints made, but then there are typically retractions and the issues are fairly rare, compared to what I've seen of US media.
They may lobby and campaign finance their way to some very inconvenient legislation but to consistently hurt EV they would need to turn it into a political shibboleth in the way the oil industry did with climate change.

patents in US law, give monopoly to license the patented disclosure.

20 years in case of utility patents.

Meaning that the patent holder is the only one that can license the patented disclosure.

Furthemore, in US, the patent never needs to be materiliazed by the patent holder, at all.
They never have to write software that they patent, never have to build a machine/machine part they patented.
Not in 3 years after the patent is granted, not in 15 years after the patent is granted.

Otherwise, all these patent trolls had to actually build the things they claim.

If a patent is directed (applies to), so called 'Judicial Exceptions' -- it cannot be granted.

However, in many instances the inventors (and their patent lawyers) become very creative as to avoid being directed to these 'Judicial Exceptions'.

>"...

n addition to the terms "laws of nature,"
"natural phenomena,"
and "abstract ideas,"

judicially recognized exceptions have been described using various other terms,

including "physical phenomena,"

"products of nature,"

"scientific principles,"

"systems that depend on human intelligence alone,"
"disembodied concepts,"

"mental processes,"

and "disembodied mathematical algorithms and formulas."

It should be noted that there are no bright lines between the types of exceptions, and that many of the concepts identified by the courts as exceptions can fall under several exceptions.

For example, mathematical formulas are considered to be a judicial exception as they express a scientific truth, but have been labelled by the courts as both abstract ideas and laws of nature.

Likewise, "products of nature" are considered to be an exception because they tie up the use of naturally occurring things, but have been labelled as both laws of nature and natural phenomena.

Thus, it is sufficient for this analysis for the examiner to identify that the claimed concept (the specific claim limitation(s) that the examiner believes may recite an exception) aligns with at least one judicial exception.

So to answer your question, patents in the way they are granted today, evade the judicial expceptions standards, and, therefore, enable unreasonably burden on businesses and individuals to compete with the unfairly granted monopolies on the inventions.

pointing a livestreaming camera at the victim of every assualt or robbery is not providing any benefit to society

I do not agree. Assuming we provide privacy to the victim, this is absolutely a net benefit for society. To say otherwise would be to care more about the criminal than the victim.

This is especially true in the context of SF where the police/DAs are refusing to prosecute anyone. Videos keep the authorities honest.
Not what you were going for, but the people talking negatively about Apple's strategy ten years ago were similarly extremely wrong.
> (Fair warning: most pure Scala libraries have heavy FP patterns, but I've mostly stuck to popular Java libraries and experience has been solid doing this so far)

This is because it's so easy and natural to use Java libraries from Scala, if you aren't trying to write in a pure FP style. Sharing libraries with the larger Java ecosystem means you get APIs that don't take advantage of Scala features, but it has a lot of advantages, too, and this is what most Scala programmers do if they aren't fully committed to functional programming.

Doing pure FP and managing side effects through effects requires wrapping or replacing Java libraries with pure, effectful APIs, and that is the raison d'etre of a lot of Scala libraries. On one hand, the smaller community means you miss out on the maturity and battle-testing that adoption in the larger Java ecosystem brings, but on the other hand, you get to write in pure, effectful FP style, if that's your thing.
> "Microsoft—as though they can fix 3rd party apps for us.."

They can, and have done for decades. The classic famous one is retold by Joel Spolsky as "[...] a bug in SimCity where he read memory that he had just freed. Yep. It worked fine on Windows 3.x, because the memory never went anywhere. Here’s the amazing part: On beta versions of Windows 95, SimCity wasn’t working in testing. Microsoft tracked down the bug and added specific code to Windows 95 that looks for SimCity. If it finds SimCity running, it runs the memory allocator in a special mode that doesn’t free memory right away. That’s the kind of obsession with backward compatibility that made people willing to upgrade to Windows 95". One from Raymond Chen is a program which hacked its way through the control panel printers menu and Microsoft had to detect that, put a dummy menu for it to use, then trigger what it was trying to achieve. Since then application compatibility has become its own subsystem in Windows which developers, enterprises and Microsoft can use to create compatibility shims to make programs keep working even if their makers have gone out of business.

A phrase that I didn't use. If you're going to put words in my mouth, don't try to overanalyze what they might have meant had I said them.

As you said "there's a lot of valid criticism to be had". All I'm saying is to be aware of that and seek out that criticism. And don't believe everything you read, even in the NYT.

Not having time for in depth critical reading is understandable, but if that's the case, recognize it and adjust your confidence level appropriately.

> I've also noticed that people make it enough a part of their identity that they will do this for you.

Yes, this is a problem. That we here in the US tend to think of cars as an expression of our identities is a deep-rooted issue. Like most social issues, this isn't one that can be resolved easily or quickly.
For better or worse the government it trying to make people dive less polluting vehicles. Personally I'd rather we had CO2 pricing and then leave it to the market but it is what it is.
> You shouldn’t punish the innocent majority for the transgressions of the guilty minority.

Have you stopped to think about just how much stuff we have to do and put up with as a society because a small number of people are dishonest?

We have to have IDs, because people might lie about who they are.

We have to have an entire (very expensive) criminal justice system because people might commit crimes.

We have to have locks on the doors to our homes and vehicles, because people might trespass.

We have to have cashiers and overly-complicated automated registers (with someone watching) because people might not want to pay for everything that they are taking out of a store.

You show up at a closing for a new home, they want a cashier's check, not your personal one. Why? You might not actually be good for the money. Plus they do all the title work.

Every bank has a giant safe. Every country has some weapons of war.

It's very idealistic to say "well only a few people will cheat so it's fine." It isn't, and it never has been.

> They'll have to sell assets to someone not subject to the tax, probably a billionaire from another country.

Or you could tax the assets themselves, in which case it no longer matters who owns them. And seeing as how certain assets - like land - have inelastic supply (i.e. taxation doesn't affect the price point set by supply v. demand) and can't exactly be moved to offshore accounts, taxing the value of those assets would be far more economically sound than the current emphasis on income and payroll taxes.
> Most of these objections are just imagined problems coming from the minds of people without actual experience of owning an EV.

Hi, previous EV owner here, had to get rid of it because there was too much range anxiety thanks to the lack of chargers near my house and inability to use my house's power thanks to street parking. Saw multiple conflicts at congested chargers, mostly passive, some aggressive, because the infrastructure was insufficient to meet the demand.
You could have a JSON value interface with methods like getType and getAsString, which would remove the overhead and type safety issues of reflection.

I once had a private conversation with a Ford exec who was basically in-charge of the EV team. He thought it will be hard for them to ever catch up to Telsa, if at all.

They just have so much damn money because of their stock is so inflated.

Telsa will have to majorly mess up to lose its head start on the other companies.

The biggest bottle neck that is getting batteries made.
When will we realize that electric vehicles and hydrogen-powered fuel cells are the same?

We differentiate between ICE and EV. An EV then can have different types of energy storage like supercaps, batteries, and hydrogen-powered fuel cells. All of which can be charged from electrical energy and all of them can be discharged. Supercaps can be charged and discharged very fast, so that they are used for very shortterm storage. I know railway application who use them to charge while braking and then discharge for acceleration. It is the most efficient way. The modern batteries can also be charged and discharged fast. They are more suited for a longer term of storage. Then there fuel cells. That can also be charged and discharged. While charging is a very slow process, it is easier not to do it in the car itself, but outside. It is still a process of charging.

That way, we in Germany do not distinguish between the kind of storage when we say we want to support EV, at least from the legislative view. I know, there are lots of people who does not understand this.
We phased out CFCs without a consumer rebellion.
I agree -- those are all examples of tribalism, and I am of the opinion that excessive tribalism is one of the largest social problems we have right now.
> When the reality is: if you work in tech you're likely receiving good health insurance coverage from your employer, and you're simultaneously paying lower taxes than in Germany.

Just the fact that you need to add the "in tech" to me suggests that US system isn't that great. It's pretty good, assuming you're in tech. The other problem is that when you look at your W-2, you can see how much your employer pays for your health insurance - this is the amount that you should also treat like a tax, even if you do want to add it to the total comp (it's money your employer spends on you that you don't get to see). The fair way to compare wages & tax rates would be to look at the total cost of employing a person vs how much of that money this person actually gets. And even then there's VAT & sales tax that needs to be taken into account...

Are there any sites that attempt to do those kinds of analyses / comparisons?
The fully vaccinated are actually the small fringe.

Only three developed countries in the world have a full vaccination count above 50%(barely) despite wide availablity. Not a single undeveloped country does. Only 13.8% of the world is fully vaccinated.

The majority don't want the vaccine.

Most people are not buying into the fringe extremist crazy kook Covid cult pseudoscience where people use opinion pieces as scientific citations to back up injecting experimental kool aid into their bodies.

If the experimental mRNA vaccine starts giving people adverse effects like cancer in a few years, it will be easier to make the connection with the vaccine at least since so few people have taken it.

Keep in mind, this venerated scientific establishment gave Lobotomies the Nobel Prize in the 40s'.

I didn't even check the handles on LightingService. That shit got uninstalled fast after I saw it eating an entire CPU core and then some.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, the only alternatives I've seen are to use methods or enums, which constrain the types to those supported by JSON, but ultimately you still have to switch on the type at runtime, the tradeoff being between closed enums vs. open interfaces, or the runtime tradeoffs of methods. Rust's serde_json uses enums for this, but the maps are generic in the same way that they already are in Go.

That's completely fair, for a certain assignment of moral values it becomes a burning concern that dwarfs my utilitarian plea.

In my defense, I had assumed I was taking a neutral position when focusing on the question "What is the marginal impact on societal welfare of taxing less progressively?" And my argument is that this paper does nothing to further our understanding towards that inquiry (despite ostensibly purporting to).

I am deliberately attempting to avoid discussing topics such as "the morality of wealth redistribution" or "the proper role of government in society" in the framing of my objection. I find that letting one's values show on internet message boards is treacherous for one's karma.

I would say it should be off for bathroom breaks of course. The main issue isn't these edge cases, but that these cops are shutting them off when they are approaching a person. Its not like they were taking a poop then the call came in and they had to pull up their pants and run and didn't have time to flick it on. They see a situation about to play out where they could end up looking bad in a court of law so they try and remove a potential source of evidence that could be used against them.
