The answer is a definite maybe. One common language definition of probable cause:

> An officer has probable cause for a search where the facts and circumstances would lead a reasonable person to believe that there was a likelihood that the object to be searched contained contraband or evidence of a crime.

In a state where medical marijuana is not legal the card might be interpreted to mean that there is a likelihood that the person in the car has pot on them. They can establish that this person uses marijuana (why else would they have the card), is unreasonable to think that they might not carry it with them?

I don't think there is a ton of case-law here. One notable instance happened in California. In People v. Waxler an officer approached a car that smelled of marijuana. The defendant in the case admitted to smoking pot, but produced a medical card making the claim that it was legal for him to do so. Interestingly the court ruled that even when a card was present the police still have probable cause to search as they are allowed to ascertain wether or not the marijuana was legally purchased from within the medical system and wether or not the suspect is not in possession of pot in excess of the medical limit.

While that is a state court ruling, you might expect similar logic is applied to states where medical pot isn't legal. In those cases the presence of of a card might be interpreted as probable cause. Since the odor of pot alone is enough for a search, any cop who sees a card is very likely to claim to smell it as well anyways. After all they're not going to get a lot of pushback on the claim if they have defacto evidence that you're using marijuana anyways.

> 6) He didn't focus on graphics. He made design choices that would drastically simplify development at the expense of quality and/or performance. This lent itself to a blocky 'style' that was both easy to handle and visually unique.

This one is widely considered to be false. There have been numerous catastrophic overhauls of many of Minecraft's sub-systems because they are very poorly designed, leading to stalled overhauls and whatnot. The architecture of systems was definitely not Notch's strong suit. That he chose an easy way to structure the world is only one of many design choices.
YES. I think regulation is a huge problem here, there's all sorts of mandatory parking requirements, maximum height restrictions, lot ratios etc etc. And it's not just requirements encouraging sprawl - the opposite happens too, like minimum density requirements requiring three story or higher buildings which prevents development in areas with less-demand.

Personally I think there's a culture of over-prescribing development which is making it illegal to building good cities.
Well, improving consumer protection laws is not that straightforward. It involves government and their shitty decision making abilities. You have to pass a bill blah blah.

RBI cannot wait for these laws to be enacted. In the interim they've taken these steps and this is not done in a phony manner.

Regarding costs - ultimately the consumer will pay for added security - be it the two factor authentication or the chip cards or any other security or protection measure. There's no debate about that. However, in case of a disputed transaction the cards company/Uber will need to own up responsibility which they won't.

Well, this authentication is RBI's solution for betterment of people, comes at a convenience cost though. If you think there are better alternatives, it wouldn't hurt to shoot an email to the RBI team. Actually let me see if that's even possible.
Yea for sure, but it's not a binary distinction. "Allowing the price to float" is the concept we're discussing in general, and Uber is further along the spectrum towards a fully-floating price.
If you're telling the truth, you are incredibly lucky. Hell the guy in the cited article was absolutely cooperative and now he's very likely going to jail and ultimately will likely be deported.

And conversely, Ada was designed by one man, and if you weren't aware of that historical fact and just looked at the language spec, you'd swear it was the classic example of committee design. Fred Brooks' dictum that design should be done by a single mind, or at most two, is a guideline not a rule.
"That seems like a recipe for a huge disaster that we should rectify."

Not nearly as much of a disaster as trying to get different kinds of people to agree to the same laws at the same time.

Sure, it all sounds great and harmonious when you imagine it, because you imagine all of the laws being what you want.

What is your feeling about open carry laws? Someone comes from another state wearing their gun collection into the grocery store, and they think your state's laws against it are picky and burdensome.
No matter how high taxes are, if you let people in a first world country work with whatever they want, you're not going to end up with university educated professionals in a shoe sweat shop. If they work in a sweatshop in Sweden, it will be one of clothing design, software engineering, or some other line of work producing many orders of magnitude more value per hour where they can make some solid money for themselves while paying a significant amount of taxes.

And yes, of course I believe that productivity and happiness are two different things and that they need to be balanced. I don't believe in trickle down economics, or that they are two different facets of the same variable on a linear axis that somehow move in unison as you slide left/right up/down.

You can probably quantify humanity (like the Gross National Happiness people are trying to do) somehow, but it's of course not going to resemble true science. I do think there are some basic markers of a civilized society that I have a hard time understanding how some people disagree with though. These include public access to nature and beaches, good education for everyone, good healthcare for everyone, etc. To me, this is a separate _economical_ issue from how much the government meddles in the work life of its citizens. If it's easy for you to think of these issues on one axis be my guest, but it is not a mental model that works well for me.

Here is one older article that touches this topic http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21628945.500-your-next...
I'm going to stir the hornets' nest and throw out a simple challenge:

Apple has lost their mojo. The implication is that Apple has lost their way "post-Jobs."

...

When they partner with the company they used to poke fun at (1984 Commercial)...

When the big news in the article is: "Valley gossip has it that IBM issued an edict stating that Macs were to be supported internally within 30 days. Apparently, at some exec meetings, it’s MacBooks all around the conference room table — except for the lonely Excel jockey who needs to pivot tables."

Is this Apple ascendant to fill the power vacuum as Microsoft crumbles? I think it's actually Apple being assimilated into the larger corporate world where Microsoft was only ever a small fish, even in their heyday.

"Hi, I'm a mac, and I'm a PC." Geeks always knew that Macs were, technically, Personal Computers. But I think I can see cracks in Apple's claim to "think different."

Apple set a high bar with Mac, then iPod, then iPhone and iPad. When they haven't had a WWDC keynote I've bothered to watch in years...

I'd love to be proven wrong. :)

Good fun here, and a neat exercise! However, a few comments for people looking to do the same:

- Ignoring the 3D nature of antenna placement, you need to model the concrete walls properly to get an answer that is semi reliable. All materials have frequency dependent reflection and transmission (attentuation) coefficients. Its pretty easy to extend a toy FDTD sim to include these.

- For the reasons above, inferring 2.4Ghz behaviour from ~1GHz (30cm) signal isn't really a good thing to do (even in a "hand waving" manner).

- When displaying E-fields, you usually want to plot the ||E||^2 averaged over one complete wave cycle -- the nodes shouldn't jump around. If they do, it means the simulation hasn't reached a steady state.

Cheers!
While the magic number might take some time to arrive at, nothing stops California to run its own system of federalization inside the state if they think they are too big to manage. The cities usually handle their own police force, for example, and can also pass quite a few laws within power structure of California.

These are hostile... Why must we meddle?
I agree that there's no magic number, but I think we dramatically err on the side of centralization, so cutting it down by an order of magnitude is fine by me. And states do have a general character/culture -- consider the differences between California and Arizona or Nevada.

Also, the borders aren't arbitrary: there are governmental structures that have built up and settled over centuries.

Really, I think there's no reason most of the laws we argue about should even be done at the federal level. We just do because the media is national, so it seems convenient and it makes for a more firey discussion, and we forget that we don't even need to agree with the other side. We can each do what we want.

Let me turn the question around and ask why you're so determined to tell people in another state what to do?

Show HN: Three vibrations mean I-Love-U. Android app to spread the love
My wife and I have a private thing where we squeeze each other’s arm three times to say "I love You"

It's a pretty cheesy little thing but sometimes when out in public you don't want to make a big show of affection so you can just squeeze the other person's arm and they know you're thinking of them.

It's also handy when you're in a group and you can see that your partner is stressed out. Just give them a little squeeze on the arm to help them calm down and nobody else in the group realises.

So last week I decided to turn the idea into an app.
Press the icon and your partners phone vibrates 3 times.

No UI, no cheesy message just 3 short vibrations. If it's sitting on your desk at work nobody will realise you're getting lovey dovey messages from your partner.

It's free, no ad's, no in app purchases.

I would be keen for feedback. I've been using it for a few days and gotten lots of brownie points.
Well... the fundamental flaw in the business model is going via a traditional publisher. The new model, which has been validated by a number of people, is to:

1. publish online and capture 70%+ of the revenue; and

2. offer different bundles so people can pay according to the value they receive.

The second point is the most important, and where traditional publishers fail. $79 for a technical book might feel like a lot to an individual but $299 for a 10 person licence is so cheap to a company that it's not worth thinking about.

FWIW, I'm writing a book on Scala and I'm not embarrassed to say I have an ulterior motive for it. It takes up far too much time to do otherwise. I believe it's going to be a fairly good book -- better than anything else on the market -- and that's because I'm taking ideas from great books such as HtDP and SICP (with acknowledgement, of course).
Having recently launched a bootstrapped SaaS app, I go through this a lot. Within the span of a few hours I can go from "This will be the best thing ever" to "This is never going to work. I should give it up and move on" and back again.

A few things help me:

- Tomorrow will be another day. No matter how bad things are today, you'll wake up tomorrow and can start fresh.

- Support. I'm grateful that my wife is very supportive and always seems to say the right thing whenever I have doubts. If you don't have a wife, a close friend who also is a founder helps too. Failing that, I'm also in some private, paid forums with similar people. That helps as well.

- Understand that progress will never be as fast as you want. Keep things in perspective. When I launched my SaaS app on Show HN, I managed to get 3 signups. It may be peanuts for some people but for me it was really exciting. It showed progress and gave me encouragement to continue. Don't compare yourself to others but to your past self. Are you further along that you were a week/month ago? If yes, that's a good sign. If no, it could mean that this startup might not be feasible but it could also mean that you're not putting in the effort or you're putting it into the wrong place.

- Ask yourself "Am I enjoying this?" Even with the ups and downs I go through, I've been asking myself "Am I enjoying this?" and the answer is Yes.

"You call that "united"?"

"Union" and "United" are the same word, so you could make an equal criticism of the EU for not being "united" enough because laws happen to vary between Germany and Spain.

What if some bureaucrat decided to move your family and 10 others (from radically different cultures) into big house? You can all agree on who cleans what common areas at what times, who cooks, what pets everyone can have, when are the quiet hours, etc. Does that sound appealing?

If so, then I see why you have a different opinion than I do, and I'm not sure we'll ever agree. If that doesn't sound appealing, then you should acknowledge that "united" is only good in reasonable doses.

The problem is that it's too easy for the majority on an issue to feel like they are universally right, and it's just fine to impose their will on the 40% minority. But the people in the minority rightly feel oppressed. And guess what: opinions change and sometimes you will end up in the minority, so it's a good idea to set up a system of tolerance where people can live in the same country without telling each other what to do in every situation.

Canadian federal government has much more power than US feds can ever imagine to have. The criminal law is entirely up to the Canadian Parliament, and this is highly unlikely to ever fly in US. Further more, the courts have held that Canadian federal government can spend its money any way it likes to influence provincial policy. While the US Supreme court has allowed some percentage of money to be tied to state legislation (viz 21 year drinking age), it has also struck down laws which forces states to take up new spending or lose all the earlier grant from federal government (viz Medicare expansion in Obamacare). Each US state maintains its own Constitution and individual Judiciary, while the Canadian Supreme Court sits on top of any case of controversy in Canada,

US is much more federal than Canada, except may be for legal fiction where each Canadian province has their own relation to Crown. While Canadian federal government cannot outright strike out a state law, they almost never have to, as the power of Canadian federal government are almost endless where it really matter viz. criminal law, tax and spending.

My anecdotal evidence is that neither myself nor anyone I know has had a mobile phone stolen while on public transport or anywhere else. That said, I still agree with you 100%. Even if the risk is small, it still can happen and would suck if it does. The remote-wipe feature of Exchange ActiveSync is why I set it up on my phone plus have the data partition encrypted so that even if it is swiped, all I've lost is the data and at least it's useless to anyone else.
"War On Drugs" is a term mostly used by critics of US drug policy these days.
I guess we disagree on the general character/culture front. I see a lot of similarities across state boundaries (for example: people think murder is bad) and a lot of differences within states (especially in the city vs. rural divide). Lots of values aren't even geographical (e.g. should religion be a part of public schools?). Similarly, I'd say that most boarders are arbitrary and have very little lasting meaning, but whatever.

To try to answer your question. I think there are common rules that make sense to apply globally (eg no murder, slavery, theft of private property, etc...), and some rules that should be very local (eg maximum sizes for billboards), and there's some middle ground for things like regulation and management of watersheds.

While a single entity can have multiple identifiers, one is usually canonical in a communication environment. For example, we say "Istanbul was founded in the 7th century BC" when speaking of the present-day city, But we say "Byzantium was founded" when we wish to limit the discussion to the pre-Constantine era. If we wish to span multiple eras, Istanbul is the only choice, as that is the canonical identifier.

As such, I believe you should refer to Manning as Chelsea if she is the subject, but may refer to her as Bradley if the leak is the subject.
