I don't think people literally voted for the judge to lock up a single mother of 3 girls for 500 days because of unpaid traffic tickets. They voted for a judge because they thought he would be "tough on crime", or some other

This is what comes to my mind from my personal experience. Your customer uses excel spreadsheets to coordinate work. They ask you to move what they are doing in excel into custom software that can be shared with other users. If your not car

I agree. This will effectively place the HK people under Chinese laws that much more harshly punish political decent. What happened when Macau was handed back from Portugal to China? Did the people of Macau just handle it differently? I do

In my experience it has been that people expect scrum to be a magic bullet. Things are not going well... it will be better when we change to the new orgs process. Only the real reason its not going well is because of lack of planning and po

I hope you are right but I don't think it will happen. I you are right that most Americans (US Americans) fall more to the center and resent both parties. If a candidate does not get on the R or D ticket though, I don't think they

It is a gray area and social media platforms sit somewhere in-between being a common carrier and a being a publisher. Your right there is no hard legal line but the more they decide what is allowed and what is not allowed the more they move

I am sure China and the WHO will handle it swiftly. In all seriousness though there is a risk of this version of swine flu to become a pandemic there are many zoonotic strains that risk becoming a pandemic at any point. Some already infect

I do think there is something to this. Not just that they spend allot of money consistently but consistently stick with a project to see it to completion. In organizations that I have seen lack of progress they jump from one fire to the nex

Back in the early 2000s I did not have much money and but was able to get my hands on all sorts of slightly exotic and out of date computers for free. People just gave them away. I really enjoyed running Linux on old SGI or Apple computers.

If you live in an authoritarian country that can disappear you for protesting you should turn off your phone or use a burner phone. I am not sure if protesters in places like Hong Kong know that China could be logging BT or WIFI mac address

I think the answer is to filter police who may have tendency to violence and racism out of the police force. There have been police who violate rights and the police departments keep them on even after the department or city pays huge settl

Some of the reduction on crime may have come at the cost of racially biased stop and frisk. This data shows 9 out of 10 people stopped were innocent. It also heavily showed that black and latino people were stopped much more frequently. ht

Yeah, I fully agree. While I do not want government to have this surveillance I was curious about the problem with the tech itself. As in why was it being biased.

Let me start off by saying that I think we need to be careful with this type of tech. Assuming it never makes mistakes can be deadly. As someone who has done some work with building deep learning models what is it that makes this unfairly t

So it could be that of those owners they had one or two tenants break a lease? This would be a much lower number of actual tenants breaking their lease but we do not know with the data provided.

Not only that but how many break their leases before this pandemic? Also like someone mentioned above over what time period. Over the last week or month or ... what?

Its a bit of both users and employees. Users are often not informed. If I describe many of the bad behaviors of tech companies it is often disregarded as crazy conspiracy theory. People will not believe what power some companies have until

So Mozilla wanted encrypted DNS Comcast did not. Now they made a deal. Comcast agreed in writing not to monitor DNS. So what did Mozilla give up to make this deal? Mozilla wont encrypt DNS on Comcast connections? Something does not add up.

The thing I always wonder about something like the government having the power to force people to decrypt data is what happens if the person claims they forgot their key. I could very much see this happening to me if I was arrested and my c

The difference is that for the government to come into my house and force me to open my safe: 1) I will both know about it. 2) government will need a warrant. In the case of my digital data that might be stored on google (or some other thir
