How does the union have any control over who gets charged? They don't other than through the fact that the union reps are also police officers and can exert influence over one another.

It would be far better if a completely independent quasi-citizen/law enforcement organization were required to review use of force by police, and empowered to charge them. Also, having local DA's prosecute cops looks to be a disaster, as well as having the normal grand jury in the loop. Maybe a second grand jury is needed, but made up of poor people instead.

Unions may be far from perfect but your arguments aren't convincing or even particularly relevant. Crying about the downvotes just makes me want to use mine. Maybe the downvotes are because your tone is too trollish.

Bold, and beautiful!! Quick everyone, scrap all your existing frameworks and jump on the flavor of the week!

Seriously though, I think it's borderline negligent to contribute any kind of hype to new javascript frameworks considering they are spraying out into the ecosystem like a broken fire hydrant. New javascript frameworks should be met with extreme skepticism, if not indifference, if we want this industry to be anything more than a joke.

Rootconf (Conference on infrastructure automation and DevOps)
Rootconf is India's principal conference where systems and operations engineers share real world knowledge about building resilient and scalable systems. This year’s theme is infrastructure automation. The conference will feature talks on predictive orchestration, cloud and data center automation, and elements critical to web scalability and high availability. There will also be chatter about monitoring patterns.
The 2015 edition of RootConf will feature talks on a host of topics ranging from emerging infrastructure automation tools (SaltStack), to OS and software developed on top of existing tools (RancherOS, Project Atomic), databases (PostgreSQL), and others. Systems and operations engineers from organizations such as Parse.com, LinkedIn, eBay, Flipkart and others will share real-life stories of how they scaled the infrastructure in their organizations. BOF sessions on coping with burnout, cloud, databases and infrastructure automation will enable attendees to share war stories and learn how to achieve web scale.

looking at the todo example, i was perplexed by the way templates are inlined through comments:

https://github.com/foam-framework/foam/blob/master/apps/todo...

it led me to discover that the full text of a function can be reflected through .toString() ...

i'm not sure i'd be happy to see this approach widely adopted though. it feels like a language hack, like maybe js needs a multiline literal string..

Modern candles are not even remotely comparable, neither in composition, nor method of manufacture, nor in their former value as a primary source of light. Candles used to use valuable raw materials, were fairly laboriously made by hand, and weren't just a decoration for a romantic dinner, after which one could simply flip on a light switch.
Well, that is what you get for marrying a psychopath.

Entrepreneur's first quality is to assess situation without the filter of emotions, it logically has a tendency to induce this as a routine. And it is wise.

So be it induced or be it a professional hazard, entrepreneur's will grow their tendency for control and maximimizing their utility in any dimesions without regard for emotions.

She is just a minor collateral victim of a normal trait that brilliant entrepreneur should have.

Elon is not a cold bastard, he is a cold visionaire: when he says all IT success are based on monopolies and that governments should allow them, he is right. Never go for competition, but always tell the one going for competition they have "fire in their eyes", this way you will have less competition on your monopoly. It is wise.

Morally he may be not be your cup of tea. But, what he is doing is socially profitable for at least some of us (investors, customers, employees, state (through taxes)).

As stated in Plato's Republic, the wisest amongst us should not be under the scrutinity of the people that don't understand what is required to rule the city.

I got a foundation-class licence a couple of years ago - unfortunately I haven't really had the funds to buy a transceiver (foundation licensees aren't allowed to use home-built equipment) and I let my licence lapse last year.

I may reapply for a licence later this year though. Ultimately I'd like to get up to a Standard licence which allows experimentation with data transmission modes - some fun to be had with an appropriately equipped Arduino...

A term for code written in an undesirable way to tie you over in the short-term is a "hack".

Not all hacks are bad. But, if I see "// this is a hack to..." or "# this is a hack to..." or similar in code, that is a signal to me that the developer (1) either didn't have time to perform the right thing but could have with more time (within their lifetime), or (2) could not feasibly perform the right thing under constraints given (within their lifetime).

Over the past ~8 years, "hack"'s use has switched back to a much more positive sense- possibly because of HN, or possibly because people read Eric Raymond http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html, but "hack" != "hacker". The negative sense is still used and understood by most developers, and it comes from two things: "HACK... HACK... HACK...", like the sound of an ax attempting to chop down a tree (brute force), and the other definition of a hack not used as much these days, which is "work for hire especially with mediocre professional standards".

I think we should at least consider PPYP to be a subclass of "hack", or perhaps just use the word "hack" instead of PPYP.

Hello, KE1AZ here. I second the idea to get a radio first, and get on the air with a simple antenna, than to plan for perfection. But if DIY is an interest, have a look at GNU Radio http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki .
The Amatur Radio Relay Leage (ARRL) has a page with overview on ham radio and information on how to get licensed[0]. The wikipedia page also provides a nice overview[1]. The ARRL sells books which can help you learn the material for the license exams. You might also see if there's an amateur radio club near you; in my experience they're pretty friendly and interested in helping out aspiring hams.

The entire infantile humour / brogrammer / hipster / drama phenomenon. It started in Ruby (_why, Zed Shaw, GitHub, etc) then moved into JS as Node and CoffeeScript became popular with Rails users, now it's in Rust (again via Ruby).

I don't think it's always the same people or that it has anything to do with Ruby itself, it just seems like there's a certain culture that first grew in the Ruby / Rails community.

Ask HN: I got rejected from Facebook, Dropbox, Microsoft, Quora, What's Wrong?
Hi,
I'm a student who was applying for a summer internship and got rejected from all the companies to which I applied from the CV phase. Didn't even get to the interview phase. I got rejected from Facebook ( twice ) even with a referral, got rejected from Dropbox, got rejected from Quora, didn't even get a reply from Microsoft. I thought that my resume is good enough for someone in my age but apparently I was wrong. Is there anything that bad in my resume (http://mbassem.com/assets/files/MohamedBassemResume.pdf)? Thank you.
For the Banach–Tarski paradox it's not enough to have an x that is a \HUGE number of elements, you need an actual infinite. For this and most (all?) of the unintuitive results that use the Axiom of Choice, it is even not enough to have a countable number of elements, like the integer numbers or the rational numbers. You need a bigger infinite like the number of elements in the real number. In this case the number of points in a sphere of real numbers in R^3.

There's no reason for security to slow you down when building version one of a product.

Application-level stuff like enforcing that User A can't modify User B's data takes no time to implement, and should flow out into the IDE as fast as the actual code for the feature if you keep it in the front of your mind. It just wouldn't feel right to write the IF block that checks whether a record exists without also checking that its userID matches up with the current logged in user.

Similarly, database constraints all go in at design time. The schema isn't ready until bad data won't fit. No extra time needed there either.

Beyond that, you're into stack and infrastructure security stuff. Pick your platform well and you get most of it for free. Good luck trying to author a SQL Injection bug in a compiled language with parameterized queries, for instance.

Really, it's all about having built things in the past, knowing what sort of issues need worrying about, and getting into a habit of never half-assing things. If you do that, you have to go out of your way to mess things up. It'll feel so wrong to cut corners that it'll probably actually slow you down to do so.
Given the claim of 36k trees per 2 human operators, at 15% cost of existing methods, isn't the idea to use more operators(and drones) to provide the scale ? Why would that not match industrial capacity ?

I'd also be interrested in how these drones fare in different geography, I've manually planted a handful tens of thousands of trees in areas where you can't drive any vehicles - quite different from the rather large flat areas of Russia and Belarus.
What are the odds that something like this is already in place on global scale by some American spooks? To "fight the war on terrorism" or something. Surely it's not that difficult to do considering internet megacorps already do behaviour analysis and payment processors already keep track of what goes where, including credit scoring.
The Underdog Effect or Why Customers Prefer Hustlers
Call Scott Meyers.

So you cannot safely assume your destructors will be called, and you need to proactively take steps like this in case they aren't. Nothing in the natural use of the language cues you to do this, so you need a moral guide like "Effective C++" for Rust.

This was the kind of accidental complexity that Rust had hoped to avoid. It seems like Rust has avoided a lot of it. But I guess it was entirely too optimistic to hope Rust could avoid all of it.

It's often not the CV, it's often the covering letter. The CV provides evidence for your claims, but the covering letter is how and where you ask for the position. Without that it's hard to comment.

For those who are interested, I've added a direct link to the CV to make it easier to read:

Link: http://mbassem.com/assets/files/MohamedBassemResume.pdf

Edit: Interesting. I'm trying to help out here and make it easier for people to have a look at the link provided. It reduces friction, and costs nothing for the people who don't care. Yet someone clearly thinks this is the wrong thing to do and has down-voted me. I'd welcome the opportunity to learn: why should adding the link be regarded as the wrong thing to do? Thanks.
Closure Library?
Currently studying to take the test next weekend. There's actually some really great free resources for anyone looking to learn[0][1].

That said though, a couple guys at my work have really gotten into it and have started volunteering at some of the events around the Boston area where I live. There's actually a surprisingly large demand[2] for amateur radio operators at public events like the Boston Marathon and part of the reason I'm getting my license is I think it would be a great way to volunteer at events around here. If you're interested, the survival guide for the Boston Marathon Ham Operators[3] is a pretty good read!

Quick WKInterfaceImage Tips
The "odd" or "counterintuitive" properties as you approach infinity, are a perfectly reasonable consequence of the general agreement to throw away information and treat infinity as all the same.

But they're not all the same, they're simply large enough that any non-infinite numbers are below epsilon.

Much like how infinitesimals are all equal to zero (below epsilon for any non-infinitesimal), but if they were all the same calculus wouldn't work.
but also a market failure compared to not so reduced ARM

There are tons of MIPS SoCs out there, mostly in various Chinese devices (the ones which are too cheap for ARM?) so I wouldn't say they failed completely, but in terms of performance or power efficiency MIPS is definitely behind compared to ARM or x86:

Things Engineers Do to Move to the US
The fact that you're asking and writing this in English leads me to believe you sent your resume to the companies in the USA.

Those companies may have some problem in relocating you and dealing with the visa red-tape.

On the other hand, if you sent your resume to Egyptian branches of those companies, I see no reason why they should specifically reject it.

I see that you were intern in a German company. In Europe, foreign students are allowed to intern in European companies, but once graduated, they have to go back to their country and request a work visa to come back working in the European Union. Similarly to the USA, if you sent your resume to German branches of those companies, they may have some difficulty hiring your for lack of a visa and work permit.
>> You have knowledge of illegal activity.

I'm surprised you bought this as well. The OP claims there are compliance issues contrary to federal law, but he's not a lawyer (at least the OP did not state he was) or a compliance expert (indeed a novice needing traingin), and anyone who's dealt with compliance knows there are vast degrees of wiggle room when interpreting regulations. So, the claims of illegal activity are hollow and unstubstantiate, imo.
Ubiquitous CCTV would be a lot more unpopular if people looking to build general purpose people-tracking databases, create hit-lists of visitors to abortion clinics, gay bars or synagogues or make thrilling real-life-rape compilation videos found it easy to persuade owners of the footage to share it with them though.

CCTV would also be even more unpopular if it came with sound and instead of recording largely uninteresting ongoings in public spaces, it was used to record intrusions into other people's houses at particularly stressful times and record their stuttering non-answers to very intimate questions and accusations they're often ultimately proved to be entirely innocent of.

It's true they may not have much incentive to protect your privacy (besides perhaps competition from "better" companies and/or legislation).

try looking for internships in Europe, they're a lot better at getting foreigners in as Interns. Germany especially, and since you have experience there before it may not be a bad idea. There are several good startups in Berlin looking for people with your skillset. Leave a comment if you're interested and I'll drop you a mail with some leads in Berlin.
Okay, You never log logs in DB in the first place.

You never fill table with non capped/infinitly growing records (capped = collections with an upper limit).

You use at best rotating collections (like circular buffer ring). But anyway, if you have success the log flow should always grow more than your number of customers (coupling) thus, it grows more than linearly. So the upper limit will grow too.

Tools have software complexity in retrieving, inserting and deleting. There is not a tool that can be log(n) for all cases and be ACID.

The big data fraud is about letting business handling growing set of datas that are inducing diminishing returns in OPEX.

In software theory the more data, the more resource you need that is a growing function of size of your data. Size that grows more than your customers, and linearly other time.

The more customers you have, the longer you keep them, the more they cost you. It is in terms of business stupid.

Storing ALL your logs is like being an living being that refuses to poo. It is not healthy.

Solutions lies in sampling or reducing datas after an amount of time and scheme like round robin databases.
