There are a lot more layers to the case than you would originally think. Like an obligation to flee if reasonable to do so etc. Legal Eagle on YT did a great breakdown of it all.

It's not as simple as "can't claim self-defence if you initiated violence yourself".

I'm trying to ideate on some small ideas for Open Source projects or Startups. I'm exploring things like free education (ala Khan Academy), and other ideas around providing access to free food.What are some other problems that people have that could be solved in a similar way?

Ask HN: How do you keep track of all your work?

from the ask-hn dept.

I've recently transitioned to an Engineering Leadership role within a large enterprise, and one thing I struggle with is keeping track of all my work and commitments, big and small. I try and keep notes in a notepad, but sometimes after I'm on my 4th or 5th page of notes for the day, I quickly forget to transcribe and organise those notes at the end of the day. And not to mention, that's not...

Re:Dorking: the use of search engines to find very specific data on Sunday August 09, 2020 @05:30PM (#24103083)
This must be a recent change? It's been driving me nuts lately. I have to resort to adding a lot of negated search terms to compensate but it's still sub optimal.

One point that wasn't mentioned in the podcast, but that I thought of, was that if you had sort of blockchain that meant the data could not be deleted.

Ask HN: If I store encrypted data but throw away the key does that violate GDPR?

I thought this would be a violation as I'm not able to decrypt that data today, but as soon as technology got to a certain point, or true quantum computers become a thing, I'd be able to decrypt that date possibly trivially.I was listening to a podcast where they described this as being a viable way of adhering to requests to delete personal information.

And thusly argues that we make appropriate changes because of seemingly biological differences - not inadequacies, to make that clear. I posit that that's a good thing.

That doesn't say that they aren't suited, only that it might explain the reason "we don't see equal representation".

There is no mention of "lacking" anything.

Someone can be fantastic at something in particular ways and still be unmotivated to pursue it for various reasons having absolutely nothing to do with particularly a "lack" of ability - and that premise aligns superbly with that sentence and the entire memo.

It also take just as little effort to ignore this usage. I understand why you would say that, but what someone writes is their own - they might feel differently. Besides, "he" (or now, just as appropriately "she") is very common when referring to an unknown in English. Anyone reading should understand that there is usually no intent to exclude and that it's merely a side effect of the language.

Yep. This is what I'm leaning towards as well. They can't lock us all up!!
Re:Elixir in Depth – Reading and personal notes on Thursday August 17, 2017 @05:50PM (#15041364)
How do you begin to even read that notation stuff? Do you know of any resources for learning it?

Ask HN: What resources are there for a strong dev to learn computer science?

from the ask-hn dept.

So I've been a developer for ~8 years now. I've got a great job in an awesome team working in the fintech space however I haven't got any degrees at all. I rely completely on what I have taught myself, and on the job learning from my peers (only really relevant in the last 3 years - I was all on my own before then).I'm a strong developer and my team and manager echo that (though room to grow of...
