> I don't care how you did it as long as it can be turned off with a feature toggle and does not break prod or introduce security vulnerabilities when I merge it

Does this not lead to poorly-written features that drag down future development yet cannot be turned off because they have grown important for the business?

At least that's my experience with not regulating at least a basic level of code quality in the review. What are you doing differently to prevent that?
I've looked at remote start systems. The specs always require an automatic transmission. The use case is simple: Today's high is 111F (44C), if the car is parked in the sun it's going to be a lot warmer than that inside. In those conditions we typically open the doors and wait a little bit before entering--using a remote start to turn the AC on a minute or two before getting in would be nice.

> When money is allocated to create the methodology to affect climate, will money also be set aside to quickly decomission the implementation should unintended negative consequences be realized?

Asking what will happen when climate-change initiatives are funded seems to be considerably jumping the gun. Currently I think these are all fairly speculative, at least in the sense that there's no clear best method, so they're not even at the point where funding might be considered; but, even if there were one clear best way that was guaranteed to succeed, at least from my viewpoint in the US, it's far from clear to me that even that one best way would have a decent chance of securing funding in any form.

Government already runs healthcare, public transit, the telephone net, post etc, what difference does this make? If they want your location data they already got it from your phones network connection.

Alternatively they could just regulate the field and set a cap on how much the rideshare app provider can take, ensuring that drivers get most of it and the provider just gets enough to keep the service running. Lots of fields are regulated this way, the important part here is that automation profits shouldn't all end up at a few huge corporations but instead get distributed to the workers.
> Considering that police training routinely would keep people 20 to 25 ft away codifying this minimum distance at 8 ft is actually a big win

" C. THIS SECTION DOES NOT ESTABLISH A RIGHT OR AUTHORIZE ANY PERSON TO MAKE A VIDEO RECORDING OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY."

So, police can still attempt to keep people 25' away, and use other laws, they just can't charge them with this new misdemeanor.
wow, $409,644.10/year; now I really wonder how much money they make from donations.
You know, I've worked in IT long enough -- 25 years now! -- to watch the rise of "the cybersecurity professional", and their place as a rubber-stamp of acceptability in the food chain of business IT. I'm sorry if you find this comment to be incendiary, and an attack against you in particular. It most certainly is not. I do understand that there's a wide chasm between the state of the industry and the intentions of individual people. If it's any consolation, I've found that my own work is mostly a kind of rubber stamp too, and lately I've begun to question the entire endeavor. What are we actually working to do anymore? Beats me, really.

But, I do find some irony in a statement like "it is critical, it will be applied immediately, breaking systems and important presentations of the C-whatever. If the business has something against me then feel free to escalate to my management" when the title of the article we're talking about is Report: 95% of employees say IT issues decrease workplace productivity and morale. If you don't see the connection between "I don't care how this affects you" and "IT causes low productivity and morale", well then I guess all I can do is laugh, and be glad I've left IT desk work for data center technician work.
> Russia had to fall back because they couldn't sustain supply lines further than 50km from their depots.

They never said they'd invade Ukraine and move past the donbas, that's what the US want you to believe

I find it so interesting that most of these comments criticize Apple. For me, the article suggests that Carl Sagan deserved some of the scientific criticism he received -- that he was more of a showman than scientist. He certainly did not seem to have much of a sense of humor, a bad trait for someone with such a large but fragile ego. (If Apple had switched to TSA -- thin skinned astronomer -- rather than BHA, would he still have sued?)

The idea that his "name" was a "brand" that had some commercial value is a joke. I don't think Johnny Carson was dropping his invites because of an Apple internal code name.
> In your case the other party might have gotten away with dodging a court order to pay (or at least made it appear like that). That's pretty much unfathomable if you are literally the richest man on earth and live in the US.

It is other way around. It is way easier for rich person to get away from dodging courts then poor one. Just the fact that rich person can pay fights and layers longer, and fact that rich has it easier to retaliate so everyone is more careful not to step on their toes or do mistake.
they mention data harvesting and influencing public relations as risks, and both are worrisome . another more subtle but pernicious concern is the trivialization of entertainment (which started from a low bar )

tiktok is addictive and much of the content is low bar , slapstick and sexually suggestive thirst traps .

there may be a good share of high quality content , but we all know time spent is on garbage.

our grandparents said “tv will rot your brain” and we laughed at them, but maybe because we just didn’t notice

There are two levels to this:

1. Whether it's physically possible to accomplish this. The natural course of the Earth is to enter into another ice age at some time in the future. Is there a way for us to prevent this from happening, without compromise or sacrifice? Without side effects? I don't have the needed knowledge to disqualify that possibility, but I lack the confidence that it is an achievable outcome. I imagine the closest comparison points we have for such efforts is our attempts to introduce non-native species to impact local flora and fauna. And that hasn't typically gone well in the past.

2. Whether having such control is at all possible. If we develop the means to control the climate to such an extent, I can only imagine what that would lead to in terms of global politics. It has to be something that the entire planet is cooperative about, and hope that no personal agendas try to push for misuse of the technology.
I figure a Starlink-style satellite fleet of large, flat mirror sheet, satellites orbiting earth in the ecliptic plane might do it.

They in total would need to be able to dim up to 2% of incoming solar radiation.
I still don’t understand the reasoning.

The way to follow the rules is looking who is doing worst and take that as an upper bound?
So you believe that if the fetus is incapable of life outside the womb, the woman is legally obligated to keep it parasitically attached to her? That's a new right that no other person has, and you have to legally justify why a fetus has this special right.

At what point in pregnancy do you believe a fetus becomes a person deserving of protection under the law that violates a woman's right to bodily autonomy and privacy?
Any board that allows you to download the games in PGN format can simply be copy-paste into Lichess. Additionally if you have a DGT board and it is plugged into a computer you can sync it directly to Lichess: https://lichess.org/blog/X6l9bBUAACQAXE8M/play-on-lichess-us...
What footnote? This seems very format-specific.
In the US, you have a constitutional right to record the police. This law attempts to limit the bounds of that right, making it strictly more limited than before.

In other words: it was already the law. This is an attempt to limit civic participation and oversight, and to disempower citizens.
This is also where automated code quality checks can shine. You can say something like, if it's more than 5 or 10 lines we expect a ticket ID, otherwise we don't.

See DeGrandis’s “Making Work Visible,” the hazard of “link to a ticket if it exists” is that sometimes this causes us to treat tickets as an external process, but we absolutely want to surface tickets that track our cleanup of tech debt and any other procedural tasks that we are stuck doing.

If automated tooling sounds nice but you are at the sort of place where “there are three priority levels: hot, Red Hot, and DO IT NOW,” this can also be part of a pull request template. One extremely effective template we used at a previous job just had quick checklist and you'd check off for example “I tried this code on my dev cluster.” Caught a lot of “whoops I am moving too fast and need to slow down a bit” issues, hah!
Logic didn't seem to have been a thing in the Daniel Shaver shooting, which happened in this state. I thought the bodycam footage was a pretty clear illustration of a terrified and confused unarmed victim doing his best to follow unclear instructions being shot by a cop who, in the end, clearly had some facts wrong. And the cop was then acquitted, got re-hired and given a pension because he had a disabling case of PTSD from the incident. Imagine what a state like that could get away with if video wasn't even public, or how easily a cop could get away with intimidating people who are even 8+ feet away.

I wouldn't be quick to trust this law if I lived in Arizona and tended to be harassed by police.
This is fantastical. Paying someone to drive you somewhere is not going anywhere anytime soon.

so many words, not a single truth stated backed by some facts... I guess you've never seen Europe from closer than Fox news screen
I'm not sure why you think this law explicitly allows people to be 8' away and film. Instead, it criminalizes being closer than 8' and filming, while not superseding other laws that could be used to harass or prevent recording.

An explicit codification of the right to record and circumstances when it applies could be part of a decent compromise here, but this legislation isn't it.
Same. I love lichess and I’m so happy it exists, but I prefer the chess.com interface for playing, and analyzing games.

>There aren’t meaningful disagreements in many disciplines as those who disagree and are smart are selected out of a field.

This trope needs to die. There are major competing theories in pretty much every academic discipline. The claim is so ignorant and baseless that I think less of this site every time I see it come up. It is the HN version of a shitpost.

We get it, you don't like academia. To be honest, there's a lot to dislike. But please, for the love of god, stop writing this low-effort nonsense on a site that is meant to have users who actually use their brains.
> That’s because the ethnicity of a criminal is usually not a relevant detail.

Come on, don't be coy. There are many things which aren't relevant like where the criminal is from or how old he is.

The reason they hide the ethnicity is because it helps racists to profile.

The problem is that they go too far the other way, like labeling Kyle Rittenhouse, not just white, but a white supremacist without any evidence.
Once you need to keep track of extra information like that in a google doc, how is that better or more convenient than just using a normal password manager with a vault?
It's funny. Authorities can surveil the entire globe with complete impunity but the second citizens start surveilling them all sorts of laws are passed making it illegal.

Sousveillance should be a right of every single citizen. This right should be established and authorized.

Not sure about lichess specifically, but I know many game servers are a bit cagey about their cheat detection systems, since they don't want to give the cheaters any hints.

But as a broad concept, one technique is to compare moves against bot suggested moves. i.e. if a high % of your moves are those that a strong AI would make, something is fishy.
It surely goes in cycles in the US.

Also arguably the US's republican model has had some of the weakest "democratic" aspects. Its popular veneration of the President as a martial pseudo-king "Command in Chief" (very weird to watch from up here in Canada, BTW, esp during the Bush post-9/11 years), its blatant blurring of church & state, its obsession with its military, its overt and obsequious patriotism and national chauvinism, its expanding federal powers, its imperial ambitions (both internal to the Americas and then even further abroad after WWII), its history with slavery and racial discrimination, etc.

It's a contradictory country. On one hand having some of the most radical and egalitarian motive forces, and being earlier to the democratic impulse than most of the west. On the other hand having ossified authoritarian impulses built deep into its system.

I think you'll find more healthy democracies in western Europe and Canada, though they don't have the same radical liberal (small, classical l) ideological underpinnings.
That’s for porn. Nothing else. Again with the not reading huh?

Agreed. I also didn't like CS50 very much, and I wouldn't recommend it to folks. I think people love it because it's entertaining.
Corporations are people, and people can be terminated by the state. Corporate death penalty. Easy.

I”m open to good-faith criticism of TikTok, but “our authoritarians don’t like an app controlled by their authoritarians” isn’t particularly compelling.

How do you plan to fill 3D space with ‘triangles’?

You can’t do that with tetrahedrons. You can use triangular prisms, but IMO, that’s cheating. You can also split a cube into six pyramids with a square base and height ½, but I don’t think that’s a natural way to fill space.

Looking at https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Space-FillingPolyhedron.html, the Truncated Octahedron probably is the nicest alternative to the cube.
I don't really like arguments, but I really hate to do it online, moreover on online forum. There's so much social aspect happen when doing argument or discussion when offline, or at least with voice call.

Can a new law explicitly permitting behavior that wasn’t previously prohibited really be said to be alleviating restrictions?

Laws are inherently restrictive in the sense that things which aren’t prohibited by law, are permissible. So a law which codifies that something is permissible is useful for clarity, but it doesn’t really release citizens of restrictions.

I'm struggling to understand how the methodology avoided peeking into the future. The author says he trained on companies that completed accelerators before 2014, leaving 2014-2016 as a holdout period. But then in the Outcomes section, he is focused on "post-incubator early-stage investment and late-stage exit".

The author's claim of "predictably bad investment" requires a specific time at which this machine learning algorithm could have been trained based on past data and then predicted the future. What was that time here? It couldn't have been 2014-01-01, since the algorithm needs to be trained on an outcome, and it sounds like he's relying on post-incubator data to get that outcome. Meaning at least some of the data needed to train his model comes from after 2014-01-01... right?

Am I missing anything here? Isn't he cheating by peeking into the future?
> I want to distribute an Open Source program to end users that does work via a Rest API. A UI isn't strictly necessary but might be required later.

Can you clarify, is the open source program that you distribute to end users serving a REST API (running the server locally), or is it a client (like a CLI) making calls out to a remote REST API?
I agree with you on just about everything you said :)

I would probably have a slightly different nuance to my interpretation of the nature of power centers. I think that term limits counteract this pretty well for individual families and politicians. I'm more concerned about influence organizations and the individuals and families that fund them, like Heritage. They have enormous influence, don't disclose funding, and are completely unelected.
the most popular comedy news guy on the right doesn't do that, so ends up being called everything from 'evil' to 'the most dangerous man in america'
This makes me want to head to Arizona with my biggest telephoto lens, and very conspicuously film everything from a distance. Shame I'm on the other side of the Atlantic.
My understanding is you can film as party involved in the interaction. This is about onlookers (who often insert themselves into the situation making it more dangerous for everyone).
I would consider it barely logical to think the cop approaching you specifically so they can claim you're in the way of their operations and gain an excuse to stop your filming (https://youtu.be/VWHOz5sLk-c https://youtu.be/L7lHeRBgs9U https://youtu.be/HEL8CdV9HUQ) would suddenly stop because:

"Whelp now they're a part of this police interaction [as I intended] so I should respect their rights [which me approaching them was an attempt to interfere with]"

The current MO is:

- Cop approaches someone recording

- Proceed to apply psuedo-legal pressure because you're now "too close" to a cop (who approached you to begin).

And you actually think that a law that replaces a murky step two with "You can't film within 8ft of us" is an upgrade?

You actually think the cop informing you you can't film them will take the law they approached you to enforce as a reason to leave you alone?

-

There's something beautiful yet dangerously naive about the kind of people who have this much good faith in how police leverage the law.

Sorry but even the "good cops" are not about to use the law to expand your rights.
My finger gently depresses the black plastic key. As the machine begins to pull in data from the net I shift my weight back in the chair and look up over the top of screen, out the window at the lunch hour foot traffic passing silently by beyond the steam tinted cafe window. The overheavy graphics begin to render, but my gaze is caught by a momentary glimpse between the rushing cars of a woman in a red dress on the far side of the street...
I was with you until the end. Go errors leave something to be desired - it’s not easy to wrap, compare errors or print stack trace. These can be fixed with the right library and conventions, but the default error handling is only good enough for small and medium projects. (In my subjective opinion).

Agree that Rust errors need to be better. anyhow and thiserror are fine libraries but I want that experience out of the box, ideally. There are ongoing efforts to improve things, so I’m hopeful.
And ordinary people don't either? And the average person commenting here does?
> still corruption in the sense that these platforms make the rules, and the drivers have basically no freedom to push back

I sort of agree with your broader points. But this statement mangles the definition of corruption beyond recognition.
Ducey regularly subverts the will of the people to push his party’s agenda. During the recession, the republicans convinced the teachers to take a pay cut, convincing them it will be returned in more prosperous times. Ducey, under pressure of a limp strike, provided a fraction of the promised increases. Unhappy with the underfunded schools, the public twice voted for higher taxes on the wealthy, only to have Ducey fight them in court, and most recently set all taxes to a flat tax, negating the citizen supported initiative.

The AZ schools have a large population of students from immigrants from Mexico and Central America who join with English as a second language barriers and parents without a history of educational prioritization. This leads to districts with extremely poor test scores. The republicans point to these poor test scores, and claim that the public schools are failing the students and school choice is the answer.

Ducey continues to push for school vouchers, citing school such as Basis. Basis charter school is a for profit school, which takes in a class of self selected students in ?7th? Grade, and is extremely rigorous. A sizable fraction of the students drop out after the first year, not to be replaced with new students. After the second year, more students drop out, again not to be replaced. By the time the end of high school rolls around, the remaining students are regularly being admitted to Harvard and Stanford. It’s listed as the best school in the country. Effectively all it’s done is taken the elite students from all the surrounding school districts and concentrated them down into a stream of successful graduates.

The remaining charter schools are regularly for profit schools, where the children of a church congregation end up attending the pastor’s school. The results are lower test scores than the public schools.

None of these options solve the really tough problem of educating the migrant students with English difficulties. And the charter schools are not required to provide services to these students, further concentrating the underperforming students in public schools.

The result is that a fraction of the elite students are given a slightly better education than they would have in their already excellent honors programs. The religious are able to scam money from the system, providing arguably worse outcomes. And the underclass remain underserved and under-motivated.

That’s what Ducey’s school reform have provided.
