No, abolishing the police means getting rid of the police. You don’t get to redefine words with this sort of Doublespeak.

You wanted to capitalize on the thrill of saying something as bold as “Abolish the police” and then backpedal when it became convenient to take a more reasonable approach. It’s dishonest and it’s becoming a pattern after “Black Lives Matter” was called out for being similarly problematic. This isn’t limited to the left either. “Read my lips: no new taxes”, “Lock her up”, and “Build the wall” were likewise dishonest.
If everything written in a contract is always enforceable, the entire field of contract law would not exist.

I feel like jq already cornered the market on this. I'm unlikely to go back and update my scripts to use curl
Yeah, you're right, she's a bit younger than the typical grandma, so the use here does seem mostly for sympathy.
I understand where you're coming from, but at the same time it's a feature defined as a finalized spec in the Web incubator. Even if it's currently implemented by one engine, 1) that engine is used in browsers from many different vendors - Google, Microsoft, Samsung, etc. which represent a huge chunk of the Web and 2) there's still hope that other browsers will implement it in the future.

For example, File System Access API was also part of WICG and similarly deemed by commenters as Chrome-only API because it implemented it first, but is now at least partially implemented in Safari 15.2. Who knows what we'll see adopted next? As long as there's a Web spec and apps using an API, browser vendors can prioritise.
Just ask me if I read the article, or state that you don't think I did. I did read it by the way, and my main complaint is with the title being designed to use innuendo to draw clicks. I consider it beneath the dignity of any good publication that claims to be news. The LA Times lost the plot on this a long time ago. As extreme as Larry Elder was (and yes, i think he's extreme and wouldn't vote for him), when they called a man born and raised in Compton "the Black face of White Supremacy" while providing uncritical coverage of his opponent, a wealthy white man born into the Getty fortune, I stopped taking them seriously. I was probably late on the game with that compared to most HN readers. It was embarrassing to see a once-great publication devolve into being completely unaware of the Onion-like absurdity of their headlines.

FYA (just trying to help Dang out here), asking if someone read the article is a violation of the HN rules. I've been guilty of it myself in the past, and Dang corrected me. I try hard to help him out, because he's a good moderator and has a hard job.
I tried a peloton and I thought that for the price it would have things like match the video speed to my cadence. To watch a video of some dude going super slow in France I might as well put a YouTube video on.

Also I’m stuck with their music, can’t I connect my Spotify?

I don’t understand what’s the Peloton revolution at all other than the gamification of it.
--jp is a perfect fit for shell scripting integration:

bash$ curl ... --jp "foo=$foo" ...

This has zero shell-quoting, expansion, escaping, or separator issues. Whatever's in environment variable `foo` will be sent to the server as a single value associated with key `foo`, whether it's a zero-length empty string, or full of backslashes or spaces or newlines or whatever.

There are fancier ways to accept multi-arg, but they all have weaknesses, and this matches the way curl handles -H arguments already today (one per header, stack them if you want many), so I think it's a sound way to handle CLI arguments.

(I don't have any specific views on whether this is how curl should do JSON or not, but I recognized the CLI safety mechanism immediately.)
Watch your back.

Aside from the other response to you, showing what is clearly not routine policing:

>The status quo is that a significant percentage of drivers violate the law every time they get behind the wheel and a lot of Americans more or less think it's no big deal...

This is pretty damning evidence of negligent road design. The roads are built for speeds so far above the posted limit that police officers are then required to enforce limits that are, compared to the road's design speed, pernicious and arbitrary.

Traffic engineers like to pretend that speeds can be limited only by enforcement, in glaring contradiction to the fact that all of the design process centers around a (fast) design speed.

There's an engineer in Minnesota who is trying to sue the pants off of egregious offenders to send a message, and it's the most inspiring use of litigation I've ever heard.[0]

Our take on a successful Inbound Recruiting Strategy
I make less errors and find errors more readily with ligatures on. The instant I saw them on my coworker's machine, I had installed Fira and enabled ligatures in Jetbrains. I have ADHD and I'm a highly visual person. I love ligatures, emojis, and any CLI tool that "makes my terminal look like a disco" (to quote a different coworker).

I'm sure it's a highly personal thing, but Matthew Butterick proclaims it's more universally bad than it actually is.

That is why there's a checkbox for enabling ligatures.

Like why is this a thing? It's like proclaiming certain font sizes aren't worth it. My dev machine is my interface. I should be able to do what I like with it.

Edit: I guess he addresses this in a footnote, but hardly:

> “What do you mean, it’s not a matter of taste? I like using ligatures when I code.” Great! In so many ways, I don’t care what you do in private. Although I predict you will eventually burn yourself on this hot mess, my main concern is typography that faces other human beings.

A) I've never burned myself b) other than screen shares (again, nary a complaint, but several "cool! How do I get that?") I'm never rendering code for others to consume. I agree that a ligatured font would be bad e.g. for publishing code in a whitepaper.
Notice the timestamps!
It requires users to pay gas fees when making deposits, as well as for the services that "obfuscate" the withdrawals. Thats the payment. You trust that the nodes will obfuscate the transactions to receive the fees. The rest is basic smart contracts execution.

The compliance topic is tricky and deceptive.
Only the user with a "Note" is able to link deposit and withdrawal.
With this note the user can generate a proof of origin. This makes tornado cash compliant enough.

E.G. If the withdrawal address is under Money laundry suspicion, it may be urged to provide the origin of the transaction. That is possible [1] but there is no way of a 3rd party to Tag an account as "suspicious" based on the Tornado chain information (due to the obfuscation done by the Nodes that are getting the fees).

As far as I understand there is no accountability. The regulators would have to persecute all the nodes for helping out with the laundry. But there is no way for the nodes to know they're participating in laundry. So they cant be persecuted. Regulations needs to be invented for this kind of schema.

Please someone correct me if I said anything wrong. Im not an expert is just my conclusion based on some reading.

Yeah, although those gadgets don't produce accurate data for everyone. My wife's insurance offers rewards for being active so I gave her my old Fitbit when I upgraded. Surprise--she has more "steps" than I do. Nope, she does a lot of things with her hands that register as "steps." (She's not cheating, that's simply how she lives.)
You should indeed run sanitisers during testing and catch most of the issues; we encourage this! What CHERI provides is twofold:

1. Memory safety issues not found in testing do not lurk as exploitable vulnerabilities; testing is never perfect, often far from it when it comes to edge/unexpected cases where vulnerabilities lurk (though fuzzing can help somewhat)

2. Sandboxing still needs some kind of isolation primitive, which CHERI can provide in place of the heavyweight MMU-based techniques that exist today

Plus let's not kid ourselves that all software is being tested with sanitisers. The vast majority of software running on your system probably is not.
This is extremely common, I googled a lot about it some years ago.
I have it in two versions, the first one is that I have to repeat a maths course in school, being aware about the age difference with the other students,
the other one is missing a course in university and not having graduated. The latter one feels so real that in the beginning I had to remind myself about having been at the graduation ceremony :)
The Walrus is kind of a weird publication... it's a respected non-profit magazine.

> Libusb has made leaps and bounds to improve it vs. the myriad of native platform APIs

As a matter of fact, that is exactly what Chrome uses under the hood.

Except that instead of exposing the libusb API as unchanged as possible at the JS layer, they've somehow decided - they being Google and hence smarter than everyone - to re-engineer to API to be o-so-slightly different, but not actually any better.

What a crock.
Yes, but not all of the water - you would be talking about many gallons.

>car dealer would be the only one who had access to your car mileage or maintenance records

So yea, I have the next billion dollar idea. The gas gauge app. $3.99 a month to know how much farther you can travel. Also, we remove the gauge from inside the car.
It never bricked for me, but I had regular issues from updates when I used it a few years ago. I don’t remember the details, though. I switched to Arch and things are much more stable.

The only thing that annoys me on Arch (or any rolling distro) is that you have to update things like postgresql as they come, because holding that package back counts as a “partial upgrade”.
Here are some resources currently used in Swedish schools about the forced sterilisation [0].

In the section about Sweden during the Second World War, there is a prominent section about Swedish "eftergiftspolitik" [1]. The second paragraph in the WWII article is about how Sweden sold iron ore to the Germans and how important that was to the Wehrmacht. So Swedens "neutralitetspolitik" is also prominently discussed in Swedish schools.

Here is an overview of the large debate about tvångssteriliseringarna mostly in DN (Swedens largest newspaper) in 1997 and later [2].

Here is a documentary from Sveriges Radio from 2006 [3] about the forced sterilisations.

It didn't take many minutes to find any of these sources.

Yeah. I think the sorority girls would agree that it may be a bad match.

Its not source available, but iMsg has long been e2ee and with a focus on privacy - but i can imagine that their word isn't enough for you to trust them.

About

Ask Paul Graham is a for-fun side project powered by OpenAI's GPT-3 and Paul Graham's essays. OpenAI capped costs at $360 per month which is currently being covered by the project maintainer so usage may get throttled depending on demand.
Questions

The questions feature answers user-provided questions using Graham's essays as training data. Note that these are answers from GPT-3 and do not necessarily reflect Paul Graham's opinions.
Summaries

The summaries feature provides GPT-3-generated summaries of Graham's essays and may not necessarily reflect his summary of the given essay. Not all essays have been included due to length constraints on GPT-3.

Wondering if growing up in a more supportive environment would have helped you advance more quickly is a perfectly reasonable question, that’s not “blaming others for your failures”.

Don’t be so hard on yourself, it sounds like you were placed into a very difficult set of circumstances.

How do you teach anything about the civil rights movement without covering how white people fought it?

How do you cover segregation without talking about how white people enforced it?

Or how the GI bill functionally only applies to white veterans (because of segregation)

How redlining and sunset towns prevented African Americans from living in “white areas”

Similar for slavery in the US, or the related pre-police groups existing to enforce slavery.

And the civil war: conservatives (now the gop) are hellbent on labeling not a war about “states rights”, when it was clearly and explicitly stated to be about slavery.

We can also look at the trail of tears, and other attempts to systematically exterminate native Americans, or acquisition of Native American land

You cannot teach about any of these subjects without calling attention to the behaviour of white Americans. Therefore making it trivial for any white person to sue for violation of this law.
That's a fairly bizarre and Byzantine approach to legalizing screen scraping. If we want to make screen scraping affirmatively legal, we can simply do that.

We don't need to anthropomorphize HTML/JSON parsing as equivalent to human vision, and then declare any efforts to restrict that vision to be a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Lol.
i assume they mean advertising.
Why the headline editorialization? "Is screen scraping illegal" isn't in the article headline and scree-scraping isn't mentioned by name. And this case doesn't appear to be generic screen-scraping of a public site, as TPG was using customer credentials to log-in and retrieve info (with permission). The lawsuit is about breach of site T&C.
Yes, this is right. Enforcement should be third, behind better road design and automation within the vehicle (i.e. speed governors and geofencing).

There’s some skepticism in left-leaning circles about the fairness or utility of automated enforcement, but I hope articles like this one demonstrate why it’s so much better.

(In this particular case we're mostly talking about Interstate traffic, it seems, which, to be frank, I'm far less concerned about. If anything is wrong with their relentless ticketing it's that it's focused in the wrong place.)
Not so fast. Who is "you"?

If I'm understanding the situation correctly (which I may not be) it is AA rewards members who are using TPG's app to access the site. These people give the TPG app their AA login information so it can login to their AA account to get their information.

Arguably it is these AA rewards members who are scraping the site. TPG just supplied the tool those members are using. It would then be the AA rewards members who are the ones who have a contract with the site, not TPG.
Yet another facet of the infantization of this trade
The "truck" (trucks, SUVs etc) class of vehicles in the US have lower average gas mileage requirements than cars so many cars are made just large enough to be classified as "trucks" even though they are marketed still as cars. Subaru did this with almost all their cars back in 2004[1].

Are you calling the person who did the core DynamoDB Technical Deep Dive sessions at reInvent, for the last 4 years in a row, a sales person?
I think it's more than that. I've seen at multiple people on national television advocating for exactly that.

I'll concede that it's a small minority, though.

The problem is that it's a really stupid slogan. A natural, unbiased reading of it says something that 95% of the supporters don't mean. That's not the fault of the people interpreting it, it's the fault of those saying it.

> What is their case then exactly?

Speculating, but TOS generally say that you're not allowed to share your password with anyone. Assuming that's true for the AA site, AA might argue that TPG is encouraging users to break their TOS ("tortious interference").

Though if app doesn't actually share the password with TPG and just uses it locally there may well be a question of whether entering your password into a third-party app actually counts as sharing it with that party. How exactly would this be different logging in from a web browser? It's just a different kind of user agent. Are Google, Mozilla, Microsoft, and Apple guilty of tortious interference simply because the software they release has access to your passwords on your own machine and could report them back? (For that matter, they even store the synced passwords on their servers, though in principle those are supposed to be private.)

Of course there could also be specific terms in the TOS against accessing the service with unapproved user agents, independent of any prohibition on sharing credentials.
It feels like "capacity" is a straightforward measure of what was missing here, but maybe there is a better definition of "capacity" that would favor coal plants less? Off the top of my head, perhaps some statistical modeling that would let a distributed combination of wind/solar count as "capacity", with well-defined pricey penalties if they renege on their commitment?

> This reminds me of the Subaru BRAT in the early '80s. There was a 25% tarrif on imported pickups.

> The U.S. Customs Service changed vehicle classifications in 1989, automatically relegating two-door SUVs to light-truck status.[4] Toyota Motor Corp., Nissan Motor Co., Suzuki (through a joint venture with GM), and Honda Motor Co. eventually built assembly plants in the U.S. and Canada in response to the tariff.[1]...

> Customs and Border Protection (CBP) ruled in 2013 that Transit Connects imported by Ford as passenger wagons and later converted into cargo vans should be subject to the 25% duty rate applicable to vans and not to the 2.5% rate applicable to passenger vehicles. Ford sued and finally, in 2020, the Supreme Court declined to hear the case which confirmed the position of CBP.[22]
