"Private" means "unavailable to the defendant" in this case which runs counter to some of the deepest roots of our justice system.

You do not get to convict someone based on evidence that can't be entered at trial. Some third party saying "oh yeah we totally verified it" is not enough.

I don't believe you're calculating vacancy rates the same way the article is. You're talking about single-unit vacancy over time, the article is referring to citywide vacancy over volume. Depending on how that number if calculated those could be wildly divergent values.

Not to be glib, but why not both? Are you a recording engineer and capable of speaking to the points he makes, or is your entire counter-argument "I don't believe that"?

Er isn't AFS still essentially vapor ware at this point?

So what if he'd been a windows device driver dev? Does ICE have domain experts for all the various engineering professions? I'm gonna guess no.

I can only assume your being down voted by young people who have no idea how beneficial a routine is for a married parent.

Fraud is a legal term that presumes a finding in a court of law to be anything other than a nonsense word (that means whatever someone thinks it means). It's absolutely correct in this case for the headline to refer to "redirect" because no court has found that to be fraud (yet) - that's the allegation the lawsuit is making.

It's why we don't call murder suspects murderers.

I do think 'realness' factors into it though. If you can connect what you're doing with the value the company gets from you doing it, you naturally are going to feel like you doing well == company doing well == security for all. This is, in fact, the implicit bargain in long-term employment.

As business and industry has become more abstract, more interconnect, more outsourced, and as in general human capital's value has crashed much harder than any graph from the article will show you, it becomes significantly harder for an employee to understand how his or her role actually translates into value. Or if it is understandable, it's abstracted away through a few other layers of the business and many of those layers change often, leaving you wondering if you're going to continue to be a part of it.

I think 'realness' factors hugely into it.

Thanks for asking; I was always curious myself.

Did you ask for an example for honest debate, or to have a straw man you could pick apart? Because it seems like it's the latter. You're arguing his example and ignoring the larger point (likely intentionally).

If you're going to concede that point (ss) then the same applies to Medicare. This completely destroying your argument coincidentally.

Maybe one of you two should actually cite something instead of saying "yes they did/no they didn't" silly games.

Better question: why did he abandon it?

Citizens are members of countries, not the planet. It would be more accurate to say "people" instead of citizens - the word itself implies nationality

You used a fad (Pokémon Go) to make a case for longevity. Not sure that's going to convince anyone.

This is the correct answer.

He said that because back then he was working on a new OS. This was PR.

I've always said Java was the first language ecosystem that let developers write code they neither understood nor could manage. I've been doing this long enough to remember what life was like pre-Java, and I did not at that time have a lot of conversations with developers for which their contribution was "I just use the foo framework, I don't really know anything about it."

So congrats to Java for helping shitty devs get shitty code to production faster.

I'm remembering tools I've worked with where the cheeky dev required things like type the sentence "I know what I am doing and wish to proceed." in order to perform unsafe operations.

I've always wondered why ops hasn't adopted some of the best practices that have been around for years to avoid fat finger errrors. Like why don't we have systems where to do something dangerous requires two separate people run the command, or there's an approval step, or whatever.

It feels weird to me that their marketing pitch is "for you big enterprise customers we've made a simple to use version". That's home or small biz use, not enterprise. The idea of a dumbed-down/less features/no shape edges as being "enterprise" software is befuddling to - isn't it the exact opposite?

How do you expect this will work? Everything created by humans from here on out must be accessible to every last minuscule quadrant of humanity or it's banned? Nobody's allowed to release audio without texted or text without audio, or video without text explaining what's going on?

Welcome to hardcore liberal ideology. Yes, they expected Berkeley to spend tens of thousands of dollars adding captioning for the tiny fraction of people who need it.

Could we maybe have a sober conversation about Uber that doesn't involve self driving cars? Because I hate to tell you, but whatever reckoning is coming for Uber will come long before self driving cars are viable. I do not understand why so many HN commenters ignore the reality of self driving car tech and regulation and think it's right around the corner. It's so far away that the only relevance it has to this conversation is already in the article (and completely disagrees with your claim): if Uber is planing to rely on self driving cars they're already dead. The tech will not be ready in time for them.

> He made a decision which affects this mans livelihood.

You don't get to challenge everyone in your life who makes decisions that directly or indirectly affect you.

What a profoundly ridiculous comparison.

Stop with the standard of living shaming. You're not convincing anyone and you're ignoring the fact that even if you adjust/account for that the issues being discussed here are the same. In other words you're just doing moral finger-wagging, not making a substantive argument.

I'd argue Fowler's claims are similarly unchallenged.

In what way do you expect it to be a "mixed bag"? What are the positive parts? You seem to claim smaller ISPs will benefit, but we've already got a dearth of small ISPs in the US and I don't see the FCCs decisions likely leading to more of them, as other commenters have pointed out. So what, specifically, will be better? "Friendlier" to businesses is as much nonsense as words like "wellness" to people, so I'm looking for actual, real-world positive things.

I'm sorry but none of this story makes any sense at all and I feel like I'm living in some kind of weird alternate reality. Sit down, look at the world around you, and ask yourself if the account seems plausible at all. The number of people not just indifferent but actually full to the brim with malice for this to have gone down at claimed is staggering. Literally dozens of people would have be outright evil - to no benefit of their own, just caricatures of masculine evil - for even half of it to be true as-written. It's just such a cartoonish version of villainy it's what a collective Tumblr mind would spit out as a novella.

> In the US - people are far more gregarious and open personally.

Can I just share my belief that this is polite fiction? It's certainly the view of America that we Americans have for ourselves, but can you honestly say you see evidence of it in day-to-day-life - and can you compare it to western Europe?

In my personal experience no, EU migrants are no more marginalized than they are here, and no, American migrants are no more "integrated". Vast swaths of SoCal and Texas is basically Mexico. Huge parts of Florida are basically Cuba. The Somali influx in Minnesota is real and highly separated from the rest of white society there. You don't need to look for ghettos to find large areas of extremely insular immigrants, often 2nd or 3rd generation still with no intention of or interest in immigrating in any sense other than physical location.

I'm not even commenting on if it's a good or bad thing, but ultimately I don't think we've EVER been the melting pot we claim to be, certainly the evidence around us doesn't suggest we are.
