The thing is that a true threat, something that is directed and credible, and forces someone to actually protect themselves against it, can be rightly criminalized by the states.

In other words, it isn't screaming at someone, it is a true and credible threat, that might be worth punishing relatively harshly.

Let me put this another way. Suppose instead of screaming at someone the individual went up to the home of a black family and burned a cross on their sidewalk (so no tresspassing) at 2am, and left a piece of cardboard on their door saying "Watch out. We are coming for you!" That's a pretty classic terroristic threat in US history. It may consist entirely of expressive acts and no real property crime. Certainly that's worthy of significant punishment.

Now this case doesn't even come close to that hypothetical and I think the differences are illustrative. It isn't specific. It isn't a threat directed at the target. It isn't disruptive by itself. So if the individual isn't taking any steps to make it happen, I think it really should fall in the category protected by Brandenburg v. Ohio. Indeed, if you read footnote 1 of that case, you will see that the speech at issue here was a lot less likely to cause imminent lawless action, was a lot less terroristic, and was a lot less credible than the speech found protected in that case.

Third: You won't get the actual idea behind Angular without some good tutorials indeed.
This one gave me the best insight and i've been churning out my own angular based chrome extension with behaviors, services and modules within a week.

You certainly the have mental capacity to start learning all the above. To become a master is another goal. But having wider horizons helps always. I recommend learning by doing. Set the simple goals, use one of the languages you consider. Then repeat.
But he write what most of the developers misunderstood. Many people use Angular for jobs, that will be easier and faster done with a simple jQuery.

"Get the job done" got replaced with "its cool to use xyz".
Segfaults are just the most user-visible consequence of lack of memory safety.
I just looked up criminal law in Czech rep. Maximal length depends on maximal length of sentence:

* normal crime (under 4 years) such as less violent robbery, bar fight... 1 year

* violent crime with death or permanent injury (around 8 years sentence) 2 years

* 4 years in exceptional violent cases (over 15 years or life-time sentence).

There is also condition that trial must start within first 1/3 of time period.
Do you TDD kids never try to read and understand the code? Just assume because it passes a test it is working?
There are extensions that are legitimate but can't be installed from Google's Play store because it breaks policy. For example YouTube options (https://spoi.com/software/yto/), or the LastPass binary extension (might be wrong on that one).

Thanks to the toolbar-installing software on windows it gives a legitimate reason to Google to close the system down a bit more.

Not really, PyPy happened. We do have a nice JIT for Python, we just need to use it more.

> Well, people have children. The protection they feel must be absolute, and here is someone who threatening them.

Meh....

While I was driving my two kids to school today (in Jakarta), my youngest climbed on my lap. Where I am there are no laws against that, so I just kept driving.

I think it is interesting that the people I know who have no kids fit your view of looking for absolute protection more than the actual parents I know. There's a certain point where, as a parent, you come to terms with the fact that the world is a dangerous place.

> If someone came up to me on the street and screamed I'm going to fucking kill you, I wouldn't argue for his freedom of speech.

This would be true especially if you knew the person and had reason to believe that the individual really intended to do that.

On the other hand, if it was one of your bowling buddies you were slated to play with the next day and he came up to you and said, "Tomorrow, I am gonna fucking kill you with a 300!" I would totally say "free speech" and I wouldn't think he was going to bring over the elite Spartan guard and kill you with Greek swords or something.....

So these things require context.
Lets be honest here, Spitzer was using prostitutes of his own free will. Just someone either put some effort into catching him or got lucky while he was getting lucky. So I am not going to jump on the conspiracy bandwagon when the party in question is supplying the gun.
If this is the kind of criticism Angular JS gets, I like Angular JS a lot more.
According to this, it doesn't help that much compared to other things.

This is effectively the same idea to provide your ownership of a domain. For example, if you want to use webmaster tool from Google you'd either insert a text in some file or modify the DNS A record to contain the expected text.

One thought is vouch and level of credibility by the person's profile. If a lot of people vocuhed for Maria or if Maria has a lot of active tweet and/or a lot of Github activity there is a good chance this is a real Maria. However, the activity-based credibility is easily forged and defeated so probably not a good idea to add, bur worth thinking about :)
This is relevant to my interests. I get the search feature through Vimperator as well, though.
There's also a huge difference between screaming the latter to unrelated people and screaming it to the so-and-so neighbor.
Cop's language was fuzzy but they were right in principle and you were mistaken. You have right to not carry ID. But if you broke law and they can't readily ID you, they have right to hold you till arraignment for belief of citable offense.

There are a sequence of laws resulting in you locked up (not exactly arrest, but held, same difference to you in the moment) if not carrying ID (you did), doing citable offense (you did).

1. If NYC cops suspect you of citable offense, felony or misdemeanor, they have right to stop you and demand you identify yourself:

http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/LAWSSEAF.cgi?QUERYTYPE=LAW...

2. Next step is, if you are going to be cited (the cop's discretion, so de-escalate first) then if they can't verify your ID, they can take you in till identified. Also true in many states, here's how Colorado sheriff puts it about cyclists:

"Another warning – When issuing a citation for a violation, if we can’t verify the identification of the cyclist, they WILL be taken to jail pending identification and their bicycles impounded. This isn’t a threat. Its the way we operate."

http://www.bicyclelaw.com/articles/a.cfm/legally-speaking-yo...

TL;DR:

In practice, if you might screw up to level of risking citation, your trade off is carry ID or donate your time:

"It's not against the law, of course, to be out on New York's streets without identification--but the courts can detain people without identification in jail until their arraignment in lieu of issuing them a summons."

How To Attract Thousands of Visitors To Your Next Blog Post
Anything that forces users to have javascript on sucks, by definition.

It's exactly the same as the all-flash or flash-heavy sites of the early 2000s and I can't wait until javascript-only sites are consigned to the same dustbin of "why did we ever think this was a good idea?".

Edit: It also breaks search engine indexing.
why is that? almost all browsers support JS, it's like saying we shouldn't force users to have CSS!
Where else are profitable prison industries to find workers?

Edit: This is a slightly complex relationship but it holds. Once you start down a path of mass incarceration, there's pressure to find a profitable use for prisoners. Once you have a profit-making use, there's a demand for more prisoners. So while it is chicken and egg, it's pretty clear that the demand is a factor today. It is also worth noting that the the 13th Amendment specifically allows slavery as punishment for a crime.
It doesn't really matter what the language is, SQL injection vulnerabilities are serious in any language. A competent web developer understands that -- especially a "Programmer Extraordinaire".
Let me tell you what was I thinking when I finished reading your post. I came up with a little story to demonstrate my opinion about it: So you grab your fine apple juice which you drink every day. The sourness pampers your palates. Then someone comes and gives you a pomegranate. He says "This is the finest fruit I've eaten so far!". You take a bite out of it and spit it out saying "This is awful! Apple juice is much better! Quit bothering me with your stupid ideas!". The guy leaves with an uneasy expression on his face while you drop the pomegranate and never eat it again. Unluckily you never learn how savory the pomegranate is.

So first no one should tell you that Angular is better than jQuery since they have different purposes. Angular is an MVW framework while jQuery is a javascipt library. Another thing is you think something sucks back it up with data. I see no concrete examples just some guesswork. And lastly: I can bet that if you try to read through SICP you'll say that LISP is crap and useless because it does not look like jQuery. If you don't take the time to understand something properly you'll never learn anything new. The world is full of diverse programming languages/libraries which simply don't compare to each other.

Bull market bro, buy more bitcoins.
I hate to be the "Norway" guy again, but here we go: The current situation in the US is a perfect example of one of the bad outcomes when running a police force: Systemic misconduct by police officers undermine the police's trust among the population. This leads to a lack of will from the citizens to cooperate with the police, also in situations where it would be in everyone's interest to cooperate with the police.

In my country, you have to go through a 3-year training program in order to become a police officer, and these principles are underscored time and time again in training. As a result, most people do in fact trust and respect the police. This makes the job of the police much easier, which in turn leads to a safer society. You never hear normal people say "don't talk to the police", which is something that seems really weird when reading about the US. Granted, I've heard it so often that it doesn't surprise me anymore - especially given stories like the ones in this thread.
Scarcity is rooted in social rank, it is a (by) product of psychology, and politics, not strictly speaking economics. Someone has to have the corner office, date the homecoming queen, and be the ranking executive. This is true outside of markets...just look at...firms. That's the unfortunate dead-end of this type of thought experiment. Although, I otherwise applaud its focus on interesting phenomenon. Because in many ways the ~premise is likely true: we can feed, cloth and shelter the world with only a small subset of working primates doing the "work". What we can't do...is give everyone the best house in the neighborhood, the choicest cuts of meats, and the most attractive partners. But that latter bit of ~scarcity is true...logically. Empirically it is an observation independent of the the proposed explanatory variable (economic system X^). Its not the x^, but the physics of life that creates scarcity. At least when sociological factors are considered.[1]

Edit: [1] See, for example, the notion of 'hedonic adaptation'.

Evidence of this also exists as ~shadow 'fairness' principles, in non-human primates, and also observable in domesticated canines.
There's a reason data binding is popular with the JS crowd, and it's the same reason it's been somewhat popular with the big enterprise crowd. When your application starts getting very complicated, such as the user changing an input field that is reflected in a bunch of dynamic calculations across the app, it becomes desirable to simply change one value and have everything update. This is only desirable if your application is big enough that it's not just easier to re-run every calculation manually.

Big enterprise has had this problem for a long time in their big multi window monster apps they use for stock trading, etc. JS webapps have been very simple for a long time and haven't really needed it until recently. Now that they're getting complex, JS devs are looking into how to solve the problem and it generally comes down to MVC OOP style or FP style. You can see these two derivatives in AnglularJS and ReactiveJS.
You describe life in the rich west. It's not looking as rosy for most people.

It'll be interesting to see how the perception of capitalsm's problems shifts as we wade towards the deeper end of the climate crisis. Will human suffering invoke more actionable empathy when it's in the form of agricultural collapse vs current income inequality problems?
I dunno - since I properly learned me some angular - I've been bashing through jobs like no tomorrow.

Each time I've thought 'there has to be more to do than that'.

If I were doing JQueries - there would be an entire stack of event driven DOM updates still to code.

I don't know, my instinct tells me that I should avoid having many independent package managers in order to keep everything in the same place and avoid conflicts. But I don't really have any reasons to think that those are better ways to do things.
Mass evacuation in Indonesia as Java volcano erupts
Oops, sorry, you're right — I had misread the Guardian's reference to a different case in which the parents were in fact from Bucharest and their son was taken from them.

No, I don't have any special knowledge about the nationality of the folks in Ireland whose daughter was taken from them.

But yeah, I am a little uneasy about the casual way the word "Roma" is used today to refer to people who were formerly referred to as "Gypsies".

It's particularly confusing to see this particular word ("Roma") used to refer interchangeably to three different, differently sized groups of people ("Roma", "Romani", "Romanichal").

I'm used to hearing "Roma" to mean a very particular sub-group of the Romani people who live in Central and Eastern Europe.

But in today's usage, the word also seems to be used to other folks from various subgroups of the overarching "Romani people" group. Many of the Romani people living in the UK come from a subgroup traditionally called "Romanichal", which is very much different from the "Roma" group — but in conversation today the distinction does not come up and we often see news stories use "Roma" instead of "Romani".

How that happened, I dunno; maybe the words just all sound the same?
e-junkie has been doing this for ages.

Thank you - this is the only practical solution. Emigration is maybe the only practical and morally viable option.
Hero worship is not the answer and may actually contribute to the problem. The solution is basic accountability ie police do not investigate themselves and a change of culture from "war on crime" to community policing. As someone else commented here, the police training actually turns well meaning future officers against the average citizen. An example re: accountability is the California city that significantly reduced complaints by requiring officers to wear cameras. Small sample size but encouraging.

That may be true if your site is an article repository (blog, news etc) where the primary purpose is consuming text. If I'm on your site to read, then I certainly don't want to be "interacting" with the page.

But the browser is the new OS, complex applications are written for the web as a platform/runtime and this is not a bad thing. This is where Angular can help. It's not built to help you show/hide a few dom elements, it there to give you a powerful structure for developing web applications.
To be fair, this seems like a real outlier. I read court cases for fun (IANAL) and very rarely do you see cases like this come up. For the most part, most police officers I have known are respectable, decent, responsible individuals.

There are bad apples, of course. But this case is horrible, but it isn't just the police. The District Attorney's office in this case was probably responsible for more of the mess than the police department. It is the DA's office that decides whether to charge the alleged offender, is responsible for working with the police to build a case, etc.

This story is so full of warning signs of an out-of-control prosecutor that it is beyond outrage. Ever wonder why they couldn't get the full words from Facebook? Because Facebook wouldn't give it to them? More likely because a judge wouldn't approve their request based on the evidence they had. The decision to push ahead in that case is entirely the DA's call.

The police in the US are generally speaking pretty good. I don't fault them. You just have to respect the fact that anywhere criminal investigation is about coming up with a good narrative, so it's better for everyone if you don't say too much.

Our problem though is with prosecutors, who, unlike police, can't get sued over crap like this and who keep getting handed more power by things like mandatory sentencing guidelines....

> What we can't do...is give everyone the best house in the neighborhood

I think that we can, because land is plentiful, and construction can soon be automated. True, not everyone will be able to live in city centres, but given that most people come to the cities only for work, if there is no need to work, many would probably prefer to live in villages and close to nature.
I don't really get this. It's nice that many police officers do what they get paid to do, but what about the three bad examples you cite, which were probably abuses of power?

You cited five pleasant events, two where you were suspected of doing something wrong and three which are abuses of power. A considerable amount of your interactions with the police were abusive. So clearly there is a big, systemic problem ehre.

I agree, if you are web designer and you only made some simple effects etc. etc. you should use jquery or plain js.

HN commentators are smart, but they are not above the effects of the limbic system, unfortunately.
