He knows all that. He was just trying to be glib. Best to ignore people like that.

Is there any way to short these guys or otherwise get exposure to a value decline?

Thank you for your response.

Hi Mr. Schneiderman:

As a constituent, thank you for your work. I can't help but notice that your office is the only state AG vocally supporting net neutrality. Has your office attempted to coordinate with/gain support of other state's AGs?

The spacecraft is at Saturn. During its final time, it will not have the transmission speed to send pictures, though it will send atmospheric measurements until the very end.

This timeline has an entry for when the final pictures are expected to appear online:

This game had me seeing TIS-100 assembly in my sleep. Perfect difficulty level for me. Challenging but not impossible.

Thanks! did not know that.

I'm having problems in us-east-1c

You don't cite a single source for any of these propositions.

Frequently sit unused? Brief spikes and big dropoffs? How do you know? I'll bet your local department of transportation is conducting traffic counts though. I know mine does.

"poorly thought out physically separated bike lines made intersections more dangerous"? You really need a cite on that because this study--conducted in Canada--says the opposite: http://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.2105/AJPH.2012.3...

"Bikes are dramatically more dangerous to both cyclists and pedestrians" Really? How many pedestrians were killed by cyclists in your city last year? How many by motor vehicles?

Though it should be noted that Quebec has much stricter immigration rules than most of Canada.

To elaborate, Quebec has additional requirements to verify your ability to integrate into society. Here's an article that explains some of the differences:

I'm always weary of "having a moment" stories. It often means the author is going to try to string together unrelated events into a narrative.

I think that would be one of the major issues.

Here's how that situation is handled on the legal side in the US. Anyone is permitted to practice law for themselves, but to practice law on someone's behalf, you need to be admitted to the bar.

I'm not endorsing it, but I can imagine a situation where anyone can write code on their own, but to get paid to do it, you need a license (subject to ethics rules). Again, I'm not supporting the idea, but it could work that way.

I'll certainly agree that the rules of professional conduct in the legal profession don't prevent all unethical conduct, but that doesn't mean that they are completely ineffective.

Having enforceable rules may improve ethical standards in the field without solving the problem entirely.

I'd also like to point out that I did not propose a solution. I think it should be considered, but I'm a long way from supporting the idea fully. There are a lot of negatives that come with license requirements that attorneys have.

It seems like you disagree with me. Can you please state your argument without the sarcasm?

It's not just crime that you shouldn't use your skills for, it's all immoral or unethical activity.

It's a surprisingly urgent problem in a field that enables mass government surveillance, dark patterns, big data aggregation, and cyber warfare.

As an attorney, I wonder if software engineers should consider implementing some kind of rules for professional conduct and an organization to enforce it like the lawyers have.

I think that's a fair point and it's why we need much more stringent conflict of interest rules and enforcement in science.

I often see the opinion on HN that opposing GMO food is anti-science. I know this article is not about GMOs, but can we really say with confidence that the scientific research done on GMO food hasn't been influenced in the same way?

Where I live, we don't have pay toilets, but when I was on vacation last I thought they were great. I was happy to pay a little bit for a clean bathroom instead of having to go at a coffee shop or restaurant.

Stallman has a point, but it's easily addressable. The government could give the indigent vouchers to use the pay toilets. I'd even be happy to pay more to use the bathrooms to subsidize such a program.

I don't think it's such a big deal. The Volt won in 2011, and that car didn't change the automotive world substantially.

I would like to see a price for "Natural Gas + Carbon Capture"

The author docks Tesla for being unable to meet demand for its Model 3 and notes that GM will easily meet demand for its Bolt. No mention of what that demand is likely to be.

I don't have pre-order stats, but if Bolt sales are anything like Volt sales, which recently crossed 100,000 after years on the market, meeting demand shouldn't be that challenging.

No one does. Neptune and Uranus have been visited by only Voyager 2. Neptune's pole wasn't covered in the flyby.

Agreed. This is likely the judge "protesting" what he believes to be unjust law, even though he knows his decision will likely be overturned on appeal. EULAs and forced arbitration provisions have been upheld many times.

And just to follow up, "protesting" isn't really the right word. A lot of times district court judges will write opinions supporting minority positions in the law in an attempt to influence higher judges and to provide a "template" legal reasoning for higher judges should they want to overturn precedent.

> I wonder if Firefox will slowly become written in mostly Rust.

I doubt that will ever happen. Small parts of Firefox, yes, but the browser is enormous. I think I once read that even Servo, which is a showcase for Rust, has more C/C++ code in it than Rust code, largely because it uses Firefox's JS engine.

Even if Servo doesn't pan out as anything more than an experiment (though I'm optimistic that it will), I think Rust will bring real benefits to Firefox by enhancing security of isolated components like this mp4 parser.

That's going to be really great for embedded projects.

I don't oppose GMOs because I think they'll hurt me, at least not immediately. I think that the Conagras and Monsantos of the world will use the power that genetic engineering gives them to increase the sugar content of their foods.

It's not an unreasonable fear, they've been doing that using traditional breeding techniques forever, at the expense of world health. Genetic engineering only gives them more power to abuse. And I'd like to be able to avoid those foods.

No one wants to go back to the days of tenements, but we need to relax these zoning rules. We need more housing stock at every income level except ultra-luxury.

The author believes that electric cars will be better for ride sharing services than gasoline cars because the cost per ride is cheaper.

I'm not sure I agree. Unlike private cars, shared cars are in use many more hours per day and charging time versus gasoline refill time should be considered.
