It's a lose-lose situation.

If you don't have civil forfeiture and the former Amazon employee ends up indeed guilty, it could be after decades of court battles that are literally paid for with money obtained through fraud, and during which time the family enjoys the benefit of the money (using it up on vacations, depreciating assets, etc) and the real victim is deprived of it permanently.

On the other hand, if you do have civil forfeiture and the Amazon employee is found not-guilty, then not only are they deprived of those years of enjoying their justly earned capital, they are also disadvantaged during trial by not being able to afford appropriately skilled representation.

In summary, if you do civil forfeiture then some not-guilty will have their assets unjustly seized and held. If you don't do civil forfeiture, then real victims of theft and fraud will be deprived of their property.

It seems to me though, that if a judge determines you have a high likelihood of success in a court of law, that can and should be used to take some advance – yet reversible – action, such as happens with court injunctions. And then save the final decision for the complete trial.
Pretty clickbaity. Lots of "some argue", "some say", "has estimated", and "striving to", but not much substance about actual successes. I believe both Tesla and Cruise are working in this direction but there are serious issues to be worked out. I also vaguely remember some work on pose estimation being helped by generating renderings. Going over real successes would make for a more convincing article.

Dark patterns like this should be beneath any company that wants to be respected in the enterprise space like Microsoft does.
kudos to you! I'm confident relieving humans of tedious work is more valuable to society than bringing college kids food.

My comment is related to my experience in delivery robotics and this is an alt. Not everyone is bad. I, too, believe my current job to be more ethical than my previous experience. Of course, I didn't know going into my prior experience what it was really about.
This made me think. Yes, I see how in scenarios where there is tribalism-induced discrimination, one would carefully guard ancestry that is not obvious. I still object to the blanket assertion that it is the most sensitive data. I would agree if it were caveated: "For many, there is no personal data more sensitive than our DNA."
I love how whenever I log into Outlook with SSO, I'm immediately taken to a page that says I've logged out, and then have to go back 2-3 steps in my browser to a previous view of the calendar (or mail). It's like whoever rolled that out has never had to use it. It's _infuriating_, and is a daily occurrence (in two browser tabs, since I have calendar + mail open in different ones). I wish I knew of a solution.
Kuro5hin was amazing until the trolls took over. I really liked the idea of people writing stories and have them subject to editorial comments before they go live. That's sort of what my mental model of what citizen journalism should look like, and what modern scientific journals should be like. I haven't seen anyone do anything quite like it since, which is a shame.

Another site, less known than kuro5hin that was great for awhile was called Jyte. You just post whatever random statement you want, and people can vote "agree" or "disagree". The community was amazing. It was kind of like a game where you try to find some issue where reasonable people are roughly equally split. It was also something where you could just interject any topic you like for any reason. Maybe that's what people get out of twitter -- I don't use it myself.

Do you have kids? Can you explain what you mean by this?
The cost of fiber is so low it doesn't make much difference between P2P or P2MP, be it urban or rural. All the real cost is in having somewhere to put the fiber.

XGS-PON isn't that expensive. You can buy disaggregated XGS-PON modules in a SPF+ form factor for $1500. CPEs are $120 each.

I don't really get why Swisscom wouldn't be able to deploy P2P in low or medium density areas if they wanted to.
I actually do run production code in gnu screen for mundane but frequently updated things like spambot mitigation or performance monitoring.
I used to use BSD on my hobby server just to keep up with the BSD world but nowadays on Linux, I use various packages from Docker hub and little tools from Homebrew but they don't work on BSD and I've lost the reason to use BSD especially when Ubuntu offers zfs in easy to use packages.

I don't use BSD nor Linux for desktop because I like the third party tools offered on macOS for work and now I don't know what BSD is for me. I'm also amazed how FreeBSD doesn't care to make it work on Raspberry Pi.

Perhaps I'm not the only one in the same boat and people may stop packaging tools for BSD and less people may use it.

Not my business but just an advice.

I see the license is a big part that keeps BSD rolling where the manufacturers want to keep their changes to their own and I get it that people should thank how OpenSSH is developed upstream at OpenBSD.
I was just watching the live feed of Biden's (short) press conference and had to do a double take when he said he now believes Putin has made a decision to invade in the coming days.

Sadly, I didn't mishear and Biden does now believe Putin will invade.
Alpine is another distro that packages LXD. I have Arch on my workstation, but I'm not confident about securing Arch on a server. Alpine, on the other hand, is very much suited to be an LXD host. It's tiny, runs entirely from RAM and can tolerate disk access failures. Modifications to host filesystem won't persist after reboot, unless the admin 'commits' them. The modifications can be reviewed before a commit - so it's easy to notice any malicious modifications. I also heard a rumor that they are integrating ostree.

The only gripe I have with Alpine is its installation experience. Like Arch, Alpine has a DIY type installation (but a completely different style). But unlike Arch, it isn't easy to properly install Alpine without a lot of trial and error. Alpine documentation felt like it neglects a lot of important edge cases that trip you up during installation. Arch wiki is excellent on that aspect - they are likely to cover every misstep or unexpected problem you may encounter during installation.
"company culture" may be overstating it a bit. It was just Steve and Woz, and someone had to write the serial numbers.

Ron Wayne had already come and gone, and Daniel Kottke didn't join Apple until the next year (although he had been a friend of Steve's for years).

When I ran into Steve in June 1976 at Country Sun Natural Foods in Palo Alto (it's still there!) and he asked me if I could write a 6502 disassembler, it was pretty clear it was just the two of them. He wasn't even 100% sure on the company name yet, and tested it out with people he met. "My friend and I have this little company, we're calling it Apple Computer. Take a byte of the apple, get it?"
It used to be much more involved in the past. Of course you could hand write the code, but as it was originally I believe a preprocessor was the only way to sensibly write signal support, something that AFAIK stopped being true around 2003 but by then moc was entrenched.

To add, Venmo doesn't allow anyone under 18 to sign up. It must have been their parents' venmo perhaps, or they lied signing up and due to the empty credit report the venmo system assumed the birthday was correct, also contributing that birthday back to the credit bureau.

Fedora is great, and very stable for me. I don't think you'd miss much. I'm a kernel developer and most of the people I work with also use Fedora (most of the them work for RH), and want it to just work. Ubuntu is probably just as good. I'd recommend asking for the nicest Thinkpad you can get.

There's zero evidence of much of anything in that article, save:

1. the boat is on fire

2. a ship captain at the port closest to the burning boat said there are BEVs on the ship.

Other than that, there isn't even much in the article that has anything to do with the headline. It does tell me that I'm probably going to have to wait a few more months for that new Lambo to come in.
We don’t live in 1980 Japan — joining a company after college isn’t a lifetime commitment.

I spent three years at FB following an acquisition. I probably wouldn’t go back, but it was very interesting to see how they manage such an enormous software monolith. The experience will look great on your résumé.

For perspective, consider that somebody in 1994 was asking the same thing about Apple, and somebody in 2004 felt this way about Microsoft.
I've only been on HN since around ~2009 or something like that (11 years), but most people I've met in real-life who are also on HN have been recommended to visit the site first time from fellow hackers, rather than via other websites.
I think the difference is that in places where ivermectin had efficacy (India, Sub Saharan Africa, South America), parasitic infection was a significant comorbidity. In much of the developed world, the most significant comorbidities are things like obesity and age (with all of its associated pulmonary and respiratory risks).
his argument is pretty specific:

8x--------------

He’s a really good programmer, but that’s not why his solutions were better. Since he didn’t have suggestions to guide him, he read the docs and by simply perusing them, was aware of methods and other features that the IDE did not suggest. There were better ways in the libraries they were using that weren’t apparent in the IDE. And that makes sense: in the interface for a suggestion in an editor, how much complexity can you really manage?

8x--------------

it makes sense to me - if the API is large and complex enough that you can discover good ways to do things via serendipity, IDE autosuggestions will stick you in a local maximum.

>Men and women just live in completely different worlds in their 20s and 30s (until serious relationships/marriage).

It's important not to overgeneralize, we're talking only about the 99th percentile of men on the desperation scale, and the 99th percentile of women willing and able to profit from them. Despite what you read on the internet most people still have normal relationships! Constructing your worldview from the 1% most extreme forms of human interaction will, in so many words, make you crazy.
Not sure I like the method for computing roundness. My instinctual approach would be to look at the value 4πA/P² which has a circle=1 and the smaller values indicating less roundness (a square would be ≈0.79, a triangle ≈0.6)

A pentagram would have 0.26.
The anti pattern here is that the lamen clearly can't distinguish the ads from actual emails, hence the EU stepped in.

Instead of just moving to a different ad delivery mechanism (right option) they are still trying to push the inline option (which is objectively "worse" for most users, but good for bottom line) as the best choice, using language that make the "good choice" seem like a stupid option (slower and less space). Hence the language and design here certainly reads like an anti pattern to me.

That can't be true. Every browser vendor has happily implemented WebAuthn, which is easier to use than basic auth, and is actually secure. With a few lines of Javascript, you get native auth (FaceID, Windows Hello, etc.) and hardware tokens (YubiKey over USB or NFC), and you don't involve any external services; just you and the browser. Implementing this was a ton of work that detracts from things like "Log in with Apple" or "Log in with Google", but they did it anyway, which kind of goes against your premise.

Basic Auth just sucks. It's hard for users to understand, and everyone stopped using it as soon as cookies became a thing.

I'm thinking there should be a new term for these kind of addictions to activities that remained socially acceptable for decades despite globalization and increased media scrutiny. Saying that you "watch videos" or "play video games" can now have drastically different implications based on the unstated degree of the activity. And some degrees of these activities have been gradually distorted beyond recognition from their counterparts in the 80's and 90's when nobody asked the question of how much was enough. Actual hard drugs were never going to gain mainstream acceptance because they're addictive and destructive by their physical nature. In contrast, a "game you can't put down" can be interpreted as a piece of critical acclaim for an indie developer or a dire alarm for the guardians of the consumers.

It is a sobering thought to hypothesize that, due to incentives beyond our control, the most earnest and hard-working creative minds inadvertently feed the addictions of millions of people. Whenever I look at the view counts of a successful creator, I have to wonder what percentage of the people behind those views specifically asked to be shown the content.

Having been subjected to strict time limits on electronics when I was growing up, they didn't do much except to make me a more bitter person. As an adult I now spend the majority of my time on a computer. I don't consider myself addicted to personal computers specifically, but that is what's most sinister about addictions such as these - it's a socially acceptable drug that still changes some peoples' lives for the better, and is in some cases necessary to participate in modern society. That acts as a mental wedge to excuse the addictive parts that aren't yet held to the same standard to other addictions on a whole - "watching videos" or "playing video games".

I have to wonder if it's something intrinsic to human nature that leads people down pathways such as these. Many kinds of media feed on our curiosity, which we're taught is an important virtue growing up. And I think curiosity tends to motivate us to find better and more effective ways at succeeding, such as developing and shipping a game that receives critical acclaim and breaks sales records. But soon we might have to start judging ourselves on metrics besides how successful we are, if success is based on how well our thoughts can capture the hearts and minds and attention spans of the world population.
I appreciate so much two folks in tech reporting Ian and Jon (Corbet at lwn.net), over the last decade they have both put out so much content, that frankly pulls the behind the layers to make them not magic but, science and journalism with integrity.. kudos and if we find ourselves in go fund me journalism, know that I’m happy to contribute to the cause.

I've not used Windows since 8 came out. However, I would have loved to have had that workflow for a multiple desktop type thing.

Regardless of what they're calling themselves, they will almost certainly be around for the duration of your internship. And it would be very unlikely it you, as an intern, were the proximate cause of their demise.

I worked at WhatsApp, including while it was part of Facebook. Whatever your opinions of the company, they have a pretty well setup internship program. And you're not comitting to working for them for life, just 3 months. If nothing else, you'll get a good dose of big company during those 3 months, and that can help you decide if that's something to seek out in the future or something to avoid.

The readme says,

> Check the license!

> The software is closed source! (See source files)

But there's no LICENSE/COPYING file that I can see, and skimming headers of .c files doesn't show any copyright/license comment lines. Which, of course, does default it to closed source - no license means it might even be technically illegal to download and use it for personal use (IANAL), but odd to say that and then not have a clear license.
Maybe I just have exceptional cognitive and motor skills issues, but even though I spend pretty much all my time in front of a screen and consider myself to be a power user, I press wrong keys by mistake very often, and I do appreciate (fast) animations for feedback.

As a Microsoft-focused developer since 1999, I feel so badly for the developer division. They make quality tools and have extremely smart people working for them--people that do care about open source and philanthropy. To be part of the same company that makes Windows is sad. The profit-seeking areas of Microsoft give the rest of the company a bad name.

I will likely get rid of all Windows installations in my house (about six at last count) and replace them with Ubuntu or some other Linux distribution as soon as Windows 10 goes out of support. If I'm still writing code at that time, and assuming the developer division at Microsoft are not corrupted, I'll switch to Rider to be rid of the commercial Visual Studio and Windows dependencies.

No way in hell am I logging in to my operating system with a cloud account.

Singaporean here. If we're comparing aspects from the article, Singapore has a common law legal system like the US and UK, and debt isn't considered a crime.

It's common knowledge that the Singapore government has ownership stakes in most successful companies operating here via our sovereign wealth fund Temasek Holdings, but I've never heard of private organisations being considered governmental bodies (like DIB in the article).

Our prisons aren't pleasant either [1], but I'm quite certain inmates get healthcare when necessary.

All in, I don't think anyone here would experience a lack of due process, or the same helplessness obtaining legal representation, like what I felt reading the article.

For a real example, one of my friends worked at a FAANG in Vancouver. When he asked for higher pay, the FAANG told him he would need to move to Seattle or else, by internal policy, they wouldn't be allowed to pay him more.

So instead of working-from-home in Vancouver, he moved 200 km south to work-from-home in Seattle, and now they pay him more. (Cost of living is lower, too.)

Strange, if you ask me.

> What’s wrong with opam?

I'd say the main problem is that local switches and lock files are still not the default mode of operation.

Also opam lacks a global cache of built packages which esy provides (esy's cache is modelled after Nix package manager). So every new opam local switch effectively compiles everything from scratch. Though, as I understand this aspect is going to be addressed by dune at some point (though esy caches not just OCaml built artefacts but also C/C++).

(Full disclosure: I'm biased as I'm one of the original developers of esy)
