Most good cops I know _are_ in favor of body cameras. However... I think it's pretty reasonable to have some reservations... How would you feel about wearing a camera that would allow your supervisor to view absolutely everything you did during the day (sans bathroom breaks)?

Let's say you're the Chinese government (or a person in the government) and care deeply about the future of China. What's your main concern? Is it not the prevention of destabilizing civic unrest like that we've seen in Tunisia, Syria, Egypt, Ukraine, and for that matter, China? That's the worst possible thing that could happen to the country, and it's quite far from unlikely, and I'd want to do whatever I can to prevent it.
zgrep works for both plain text and gzipped streams so you can do something like this (assuming you have both deflated and non-deflated files that matches the glob pattern):

Ask HN Summer job for an outstanding freshman?
I've got an exceptional student in my Digital Logic class. This guy is motivated, curious, intelligent, productive, a quick learner, and an all around nice guy. He's been very helpful tutoring and mentoring his peers in lab sessions (for which I am grateful). He has displayed tremendous potential with both software and hardware. I'm confident that he will be able to make a useful contribution to your team/project. He punches above his weight, but remember his weight is still in the range: college freshman.

Some context: He is currently enrolled in a vocational program at a junior college (Electronics Engineering Technology) I asked him one day recently why he wasn't in engineering school, and he informed me that he is not from a wealthy family and the local-ish junior college is what they can afford. IMO he is easily capable of and deserving of more than we have to offer here. One reason I am reaching out beyond my normal network is that I hope that he can find some competent mentoring above my weight. As much as I would hate to see him go, I would love to see him enrolled in a bigger school in the fall, or at least back in my classes with some good experiences, some new contacts, and maybe a couple of dollars in his pockets.

He'll be available from June-ish to the start of the fall '15 semester. I have confirmed with him that he is willing to travel out of state.
Completely agree but I see it much worse.

The general public will have access to change certain genes/or be required to make these changes for the 'good' of the population. These Genes will be to make the working class less disruptive (reducing conflict by reducing genes that generate anger/or narrowing the emotional band of people to a much more narrow scope (think gene changes that have the same result as anti depression medication)) while stating that these genes need to be changed to get rid of medical issues such as ADHD For example Think about removing the ability to have their own children, got to pay extra if you want your child to be able to have their own.

The top will be able to change a lot of other things. They will be able to boost intelligent (do you really think the governments of the world want a super smart population? no, they will kept that for themselves)

All in all we are getting to the stage where there will be 2 classes of humans. The working class will become completely inferior to the uppers and thanks to the gene changes very few if any will ever raise above their station

Seems like we trying 1984 in US n Euro. And Brave new world in China

If you try and counter this with "people wont stand for it" they will, none of the China population will stop it, and once its standard there they were be breeding super humans. The rest of the world will either have to do it to keep up, or accept our Chinese overlords

So glad I have no plans to bring a child in to this future we all building for them
In fact there was a shitstorm when some licences had "all modifications must be sent upstream" clauses e.g. Plan9's original license had that clause. And then the "tick this box if you don't make nuclear weapons" clause was lambasted in Theo's colourful style [1]. There was a time when OpenBSD were considering moving to the plan9 tool chain - which is now available under both GPL and MIT licensing.

That sad part was, most everyone in the plan9 community agreed with him but had their hands tied by Alacatel/Lucent legal and US law.

This goes much further into social behavior, and takes advantage of consumer and social data in new ways:

"If friends have a poor lending reputation, this reflects badly on the person, just as prolonged playing of video games. Buying diapers indicates responsibility and scores therefore well."

Also, while it starts with financial responsibility, the ambitions are larger:

"The intentions of the new system are not only economical, fighting fraudulent practices, but also moral. 'This is a deliberate effort by the Chinese government to promote among its citizens "socialist core values" such as patriotism, respecting the elderly, working hard and avoiding extravagant consumption', says Creemers."

I assume you're talking about Eric Garner.

He was not strangled to death. He died because he was handcuffed with his hands behind his back, and he was laid prone on the ground. It is well known that this makes it very difficult for most people (and _especially_ overweight/obese people) to breath. This is explicitly against NYPD protocol, and in my opinion, everyone on that scene (EMS included) should have been charged in his death.
> But HN is regularly bombarded with articles about college and university being a over-valued investment.

Would you go to a doctor who skipped a college? Do you want to drive over a bridge designed by a bunch of hipster dropouts? If not, then the higher education is still relevant, and all the hipsters must just shut up.

> But how can you chain that in the same sentence to a right to be entertained ?

I'm quoting one of the student complaints - that a lecturer is not "entertaining enough", and this is not "what they paid their money for".

EDIT: and yes, it's not the students who changed recently, it's the creeping commercialisation of the education system in general. Students are "consumers" now, and this is a new thing indeed. They should not be blamed for such an attitude, of course.
Nice to see recognition from the trenches of bureaucracy.

It's really nice that they can write such statement.

Kudos to the OpenBSD team!
The GPL kinda-sorta does. I guess it depends on your definition of "contribute back." People that derive from GPL source have to release those changes to the public, which could just be a zip archive on their web-site rather than a git pull request.

I guess what I mean is, the company can try to be as unhelpful as possible (e.g. strip comments, place all code into a giant .cpp file, etc) but it does technically have to publish source code regardless.

Why fork it? That is completely stupid. Do you want to have the EU version of North Korea's Red Star Linux? Do you want to make it so Google doesn't work properly on EU BSD?
"[...] the use of open source computer operating systems and applications reduces the risk of privacy intrusion by mass surveillance.

i got interview with google and Facebook and rejection after technical interview in google and HR interview in Facebook, my resume is accepted in Microsoft and currently i'm in the process, i think your resume is very cool but you sorted it's content in a wrong order i thought, form my point of view i think the people whose scan your resume want to see ONLY 2 things.

1- are you smart?
2- could you write codes?

then you have to answer this question in your resume very quickly.

i think you have to push the competitive programming part up in your resume to answer the first question early, and so on..

No role model.

* It's already past time that Android had (out-of-the-box) a "don't grant access but make the application think I did"-checkbox.*

The weird thing is, it does. Or, rather, it's hidden-in-the-box. There's an app called App Ops that can be enabled if you have root access that limits permissions to installed apps - I'm actually not sure if it sends fake data instead but I'm yet to have an app crash from it. But without root it's not usable. Sigh.
One vote for the point of view that says I don't really much care how well-rated as teachers research professors are.

My tax dollars should be mostly supporting their research. Teaching should be a collateral duty. It is not a valuable use of time for good researchers. If we need superb instructors to teach basic material to undergrads, let them be called something else.

Is there really a single person on this forum who didn't do the bulk of their real learning outside the classroom, anyway?
These are the questions the students specifically complained about. Taken from one of their tweets. And you don't need to know the domain in order to infer that those students are cretins indeed, if they find such questions tough.

I think you need to sort out your life before you continue to work on your startup. I don't say that to criticize you, I am just being realistic. It's disadvantageous in almost every way to be absolutely broke (mostly for obvious reasons) while trying to pursue something as amibitious as a tech startup. You're really pushing the odds.
Fundamentally, they are people. Maybe even more importantly, crime doesn't just happen nonstop all the time everywhere. How many of us spend time at work not working? If every one of your smoke breaks, trips to hn, and other assorted breaks were recorded, I'm sure a damning case could be made against you the next time you're up for review. You don't think that would have political implications? I can't think of all the out comes that could have.

Likewise, I'll tell a personal story. I tend to drive fast. I've not had many tickets but I've had a few. Two really cool police gave me warnings a handful of years back instead of tickets; not just a warning but they reminded me of the car seat in the back, my family and suggested I slow down to be safer. It had a dramatic impact, I'd just get pissed off and pay a ticket but the warning, that they chose to give, stuck with me more and I've slowed down. Could that be done by a robot police officer that never takes breaks and follows the law literally and letter by letter? What if those cops had a record of giving certain races warnings but came down hard on other races?

im not against body cameras, especially in the current world of paramilitary style police, but it seems like there is a need for some human wisdom on a case by case basis here. Simple fixes could easily have some bad outcomes.
What I'd particularly like to see is an analysis of D vs. Rust. Both have been touted as systems programming languages to replace C/C++, and I'd be curious to see a breakdown of their strengths and weaknesses compared to each other.

This is the core problem in security in general, and government programs like this make it worse. They will dump money into the security business, and security companies that do business with the government will have incentives to believe the lie that they can build both surveillance and security that people can trust.
The odd part is that submerging in a depth of water actually lessens the pressure differential making it less likely to explode, not more. So failure is less likely to occur as it's submerged further.

Maybe, maybe not. They'd all do the same sort of cost/benefit assessment and if they deemed the benefit to outweigh the cost of contributing back they would do it.

There'd be some who would change their options and some that would become contributors. Hard to say how it would pan out.

But, when you select a license like BSD (which I've done myself) you shouldn't complain when users don't contribute back.

You selected a license that formally declares your intent and expectations; the user has formally agreed to them.
This is madness. I thought I was reading a fake article.

> the system is 'very ambitious in both depth and scope, including scrutinizing individual behavior and what books people read. It's Amazon's consumer tracking with an Orwellian political twist.'

What a coincidence. Recently I had to decide whether to buy books on politics for kindle. I didn't like the fact that it tracks everything I buy, what sentences I highlight, the notes I keep... I bet my libertarian books would make my score very low in future China.

> This score is not only determined by one's lending behavior, but also by hobbies and friends. If friends have a poor lending reputation, this reflects badly on the person, just as prolonged playing of video games. Buying diapers indicates responsibility and scores therefore well.

This detail was hidden in the article, yet it's one of the most important. It's not about external control, but also self-control. This is what a true Orwellian society promotes. The score acts as feedback to everything we do.

It's funny to imagine social hackers buying tons of diapers to get on top of the rankings.

I enamored the man for his work and his experience with developing truly innovative work while still pursuing an active "side project" go-getter-ness via Codepen. But after seeing his appearance on Envato's "Made By" series, I could not have chosen a better role model. He is exactly what I want to be in the future. Calm and Collected and revered as an expert in my field.

Then you should probably do same things that successful countries do. Ones that did not have devastating civic unrest. From Australia to Austria.

What do they do? What's holding them afloat? Hint: it's the remnaints of democracy and civil society, not special services looking for destabilizing factors day and night.
Special services don't hurt, but everyone relying on just them had bitter end. Treating your citizens like criminals didn't help.

I used to do this too when I was a kid at my grandmom's house. They'd order steaks from TV commercials and receive them in the mail bundled with dry ice. It started as making foam messes with soap, water and dry ice... But soon I was filling up 2 litre bottles with ice and water and making bombs. It all ended when the police arrived because neighbors thought a gunfight was happening in their quiet residential neighborhood. Needless to say, they weren't very happy with me.

> "showed there was a difference in view between what we were doing and what people perceived us as doing."

This is pretty much the EXACT thing that is the problem. Let's be clear and unified on this topic: this is NOT a difference of "perception". This is a fundamental question of whether we're going to live in a democratic republic or not.
I don't see "seems" anywhere in there. As written, it sounds extremely judgmental.
The difference being that credit ratings are used to evaluate how creditworthy you are by looking at tangible data that is (mostly) directly related to your use of credit and actually predictive of your credit worthiness.

This system gives the government the power to codify and even gamify what it means to be a good citizen. It's attempting to shape the way people think and behave in an extremely invasive way.
