Yeah, this sounds like the police just not wanting to do work.

I convinced my fiancé to go to the NYPD a year ago (a difficult thing, she was born in a country where all interactions with police are inherently unsafe), after her macbook was stolen during a facebook marketplace sale. (She used venmo, they disputed after the meeting, and kept the money and laptop). She went to the police with the person's identity, facebook page, venmo account, a witness, a statement from venmo, and a recording of the transaction from a security camera, and the police said they couldn't do anything, spent the next 6 months dodging her phone calls, and only once called her back, but did so in order to go on a racist tirade about the unrelated BLM protests that were going on at the time (?!?)

The United States so badly needs nationally legislated minimum standards for police.

Perhaps, but I think many (Dems and Reps) will recognize a sinking ship when they see one. Tighter regulation on cryptocurrencies (and related businesses) was starting to arrive, regardless. There is little incentive to try to slow this down, if the people being regulated don't have any money left to donate to your campaign.
I this is exactly it. When you let utilitarianism run your life, you try and maximize your ability to do good, even if you have to bend a few rules on the way.

But outcomes aren't certain and high EV plays can still carry a substantial amount of risk, which is exactly why we have finance regulations.

Uhhhh. Probably not though.

US labor laws focuses on all or nothing union control of a workplace. And once they have control, they get a lot of legal power.

Europe has a different model where unions do not have to have any sort of majority vote to be recognized. As such, membership tends to be more fluid. So the unions themselves have less specific control, but the unions can be larger, and be more recognized without as much antagonization.

Also, US unions have a lot of power over healthcare in the US. Usually being a function of the state in Europe, there's a lot less cost at stake when dealing with a European union.

So I think it's largely an apples to oranges comparison.

I read an article a million years ago which I thought described this mechanism in a super friendly way:

It uses the idea of "putting a penny down" on the graph and moving it around, and I found the conversational tone of the description to be very easy to grok. Assuming this is the exact same mechanism (which the author cites), it might resonate for some of you too.

No, but it's not a huge growth market either. Makers tend to prefer products which are relatively inexpensive and close to "raw" hardware; neither of these factors are particularly favorable to manufacturers.

Perhaps the misunderstanding is on the part of the complainant. Especially considering that the 'Find My' signal is potentially originating from <2m of their home, although Sudbury looks quite sparse.

Hearing about an Italian SWAT team for rail development just makes me think: "hire them."

I wonder if it would be cheaper to just hire all of the talent, and then just buy Italian rail components if they are available and work. That is essentially what the tech industry in the US does now anyway.

I guess certain "Buy American" protections get in the way of that, for good and bad reasons; but it's annoying that one solution is basically touching the third rail (sorry couldn't resist the train joke) in the country. Hire or import talent from abroad and learn from them, America's whole industrial history is basically a loop of that over time.
I would use descriptors such as savory, crispy, etc.
In Europe it's generally understood that it has to be a mutually beneficial relationship. Once it becomes parasitic, the parasite risks killing the host (no matter if it's the company having their employees walk out, or the employees/union forcing through demands that make their employer uncompetitive and close down).

That's harder to implement in a more individualistic society like the US, and the history of violent union busting surely didn't help either.

Contract some muscle, for example close and contract your hand. That would cause the blood to flow there and increase blood pressure preventing fainting.

Blood phobia psychological treatments developed by behaviourists give that indication to patients during the exposure to blood and blood related experiences during the treatment. The name of the therapy is exposure therapy and it's the one with more evidence supporting it for treating phobias. Yes, its about "facing your fears" but it's done in a gradual way. https://www.apa.org/ptsd-guideline/patients-and-families/exp... Therapists found ways to prevent the fainting during the blood-phobia treatment, allowing the graded exposure occur.

> Now, I may trust someone now, but circumstances change. People change.

Trust is inherently a forwards-looking thing. If you don't trust someone not to change in a way that breaks the promises they've made to you, that's not trust at all.

> Fundamentally, I do business with people I trust.

> I don't know what sort of business you operate in

Software industry. When employers have tried to screw me out of things they promised me, I've pointed to sections of written contracts (with the unspoken understanding of a lawsuit if their side of the contract is not upheld) and it's saved me multiple times. These companies just don't care about what they promised you, you can't trust them, they only respond to the looming threat of legal action. On the flip side, I've been screwed before at those times where I didn't keep a meticulous paper trail. The last one was particularly tough because I thought I had made close friends with the person I was doing business with, and I genuinely thought they could be trusted, but they ended up stiffing me out of payment in the end.

In the software industry and in particular working at start-ups, promises are worth jack shit unless they're in a written contract. Nobody trusts anyone to uphold promises. I would love to work in an industry where people could trust each other to uphold their word. What industry are you in?

Not really. Unions in Germany are like a partnership to the company management, while in the US are like the enemy of the management focused on total control and can get away with a lot more stuff than what they can in Germany. At least in the construction business.
The ratio of tests to code is often a good benchmark of how good a codebase I'm dealing with.

> Does the number of bugs grow linearly with code size? Sub-linearly? Super-linearly? My gut feeling still says “sub-linear”.

My loose reasoning says it has to be linear (like interest generated on bank accounts). Otherwise you could simply merge two large codebases to squash bugs (in the case of sublinear bug growth) or divide a large codebase (in the case of superlinear bug growth).

ALternatively, in a sublinear-bug-growth codebase, you could just keep adding and adding to it until eventually you'd add no more bugs.

One would think so but there is no heat and the modern wireless chargers are very efficient. It may be worth watching the video I linked as efficiency methods and differences from typical low power devices are explained.

Yes, but in the end it's because people who like Go because they prioritize a certain set of features (language, community, ecosystem, etc), and those who prefer non-Go languages prioritize other features.

I don't like Go personally, but I have advocated for Go to be used in many situations depending on context. It's unproductive to start a language war here since it's generally situation-dependent.

With what Accuracy and Precision? There was an article on HN, probably a few years ago now about how some geoIP company returned a specific location near the center of the US, instead of not found. The location was on someone's property so police, FBI, and everybody under the sun would come and harass them because the computer said it was right here.

For all we know it is in their house and connecting to the neighbor's wifi.

Got lucky that the dad realized it is much better to give the phone back vs have his windows smashed out with a rock once a month for the end of time in the night. I don’t condone damaging people’s stuff but in my city there is a lot of vigilantism talk and I imagine rocks would probably be the least of worries. I have seen it here where a known thief had his car lit on fire. Another guy was hog tied and beat up on Facebook live. My point is some people are crazy and I would think people once found out they were caught would just return the items vs risk being revenge attacked. But then again criminals are not that smart.
Governments are not businesses - they should not be thinking about "capturing value." Ideally, projects like this are handled at the minimum level of government: your city's transit system is your city's responsibility, funded through local taxes. This aligns interests the best.

In practice, federal bureaucrats all over the world have figured out how to insert themselves into these kinds of local projects, which causes all sorts of conflict of interest problems, and divorces the person spending the money from the person funding the project (both the people who should be funding it and the people who are) and the person getting value from it.

The issue appears to be that the police don't want to attempt to get a warrant.

From the linked article:

>A Sudbury, Ont., man says local police wouldn't obtain a search warrant to retrieve his missing laptop, even after he gave them evidence pointing to its exact whereabouts.

Lawyer Gerald Chan, who has expertise on search warrants and digital evidence, said he was "a bit confused as to why the police don't think they can get a search warrant in these circumstances," though he noted he doesn't have the background information in this case.

A typical EV owner will use CCS a few times a year. Every other day of the year they will use a much smaller J1772 connector with a much smaller cord. Having owned both a Tesla as well as an EV that uses J1772, it's the same experience.
> Furthermore, it's not clear to me how you believe that the BoE article contradicts what I'm saying. I'm under the impression that you (along with most other people) are simply misunderstanding what you are reading here.

The contradiction seems fundamental. You're suggesting existing deposits facilitate the creation of loans. The entire BoE article is a repeated attempt at showing how loans create deposits.

> Do you think that a bank which has NO MONEY is able to (in a practical sense) create infinite money out of thin air? Sure it can type "9999999999999 dollars" on a computer, but that wouldn't be "real money" in any practical sense, because you wouldn't be able to exchange it for goods and services.

That's ... exactly how it works.
If the bank believes you are good for 9999999999999 dollars over the term of the loan, they put +x in your demand deposit account, and -x in your loan account (and from bank's view those are respectively the bank's own liabilities and assets).

You can then go and send that money (demand deposit) somewhere else to buy a house or whatever (goods and services). Bank A and bank B both have banking licences, which means they mutually trust using each other's customer demand deposit accounts as 'money'.

You mentioned you wouldn't be able to exchange that for goods and services - but that's exactly what happens. You then need to find those dollars and pay back the loan eventually from a job or whatever, or else you go bankrupt.

If you would like to turn that demand deposit into hard cash to keep under the mattress, your commercial bank will send your demand deposit to the commercial bank's account with the central bank, and the central bank will truck over some cash in return.

I know you get this since you write it as IOUs in the article. What I'm trying to get across is that nothing has to precede the creation of the IOU, whereas I think you say an initial deposit of government-issued central bank money (cash) is required.

> Follow-up question: if you genuinely believe this to be possible, then why isn't anybody doing that? Surely there are many people working at banks who would like to collude with their friends and family to create infinite money. If you believe that to be possible, why has it literally never happened?

Try it :) I think odds are you end up in jail.

And if a bank (or crypto exchange!) is in the business of writing crap to counterparties who can't pay them back, the bank probably goes out of business once everyone realizes the bank assets (loans) are garbage.

Trying to get a loan without intention of paying it back is bank fraud. It happens and occasionally for very large sums;
https://www.afr.com/companies/financial-services/papas-mazco...

Further, regulators like to see banks hold capital against their assets to make sure they can fill the gap when some loans inevitably go bad. That capital could be retained earnings, shareholder capital, etc etc. It just doesn't have to come from an initial deposit.
For legacy cars the likely answer is that people buy the $250 dongle. For new cars this will cost a few hundred bucks in parts and labor (or let's say 1-1.5% of the sales price) and it will be required surgery on your brand-new car.

Who is going to pay for this? If it's Tesla, then the smart move is to put CCS into cars right now (and as a side benefit, standardize their US and European models [edit: nevermind this bit, not the same standards].) If it's the customer, then it's an annoying non-trivial cost you'll have to bear. Yuck.
