4 | null | null | These systems are useless. Of the many flaws:<p>1.) Simple alteration (change a pixel in MS paint) or encryption of content bypasses the filter
2.) Patching out the filtering routine bypasses the filter
3.) Blocking the phone-home address (pihole, router firewall, etc) bypasses any reporting
4.) Any vulnerability in the future that allows an attacker to report arbitrary clients (disclosure of client IDs, weakness in app, weakness in server) renders evidence gathered by the system unreliable.<p>At best clientside filtering allows you to draw relationship maps of technically incompetent perverts who might possibly be sharing CP. What harm reduction are they trying to get out of that?? Why not just refocus efforts on catching the small minority of individuals who are actually producing this content??<p>But hey, if these garbage clientside filtering of image uploads is enough security theatre to keep governments satisfied, I say let them have it. | null | nyxxie | null | 1,572,810,473 | "2019-11-03T19:47:53" | comment | 21,436,113 | 21,435,025 | null | null | null |

21 | null | null | Just taking stuff from the wikipedia page ( <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Sealand" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Sealand</a> )...<p>Emphasis where it appears is mine.<p>> In 1943, during the Second World War, HM Fort Roughs [Sealand] was constructed by the United Kingdom as one of the Maunsell Forts, primarily for defence against German mine-laying aircraft<p>> On 2 September 1967, the fort was occupied by Major Paddy Roy Bates, a British subject and pirate radio broadcaster, <i>who ejected a competing group of pirate broadcasters</i>.<p>> In 1968, British workmen entered what Bates claimed to be his territorial waters in order to service a navigational buoy near the platform. Michael Bates (son of Paddy Roy Bates) tried to scare the workmen off by firing warning shots from the former fort.<p>> In August 1978, while Bates and his wife were in England, Alexander Achenbach, who describes himself as the Prime Minister of Sealand, hired several German and Dutch mercenaries to spearhead an attack of Roughs Tower. They stormed the tower with speedboats, jet skis and helicopters, and took Bates' son hostage. Bates was able to retake the tower and capture Achenbach and the mercenaries.<p>And of course...<p>> While it has been described as the world's smallest country, the world's smallest nation, or a micronation, Sealand is <i>not currently officially recognised by any established sovereign state</i>, although Sealand's government claims it has been de facto recognised by the United Kingdom (after an English court ruled it did not have jurisdiction over Sealand as territorial water limitations were defined at the time) and Germany<p>Both of those claimed recognitions took place after an act of agression toward British / German citizens mentioned in the above excerpts.<p>So you've got a platform in the ocean that was created as part of a war effort, that has been the subject of a failed and a successful military coup, whose only unofficial recognition by established states came after assaulting their citizens, and that is still not officially recognized by any other state. (And which is currently sitting in British territorial waters, after they unilaterally annexed its surrounding ocean.) And all this is for a "state" with a population estimated at "over 50". | null | thaumasiotes | null | 1,392,399,368 | "2014-02-14T17:36:08" | comment | 7,239,733 | 7,238,683 | null | null | null |

63 | null | null | C++ code only needs to be safe according to C++ rules (not Rust rules). So it is possible for the C++ to be safe, and the corresponding Rust code to be unsafe, e.g.,<p>* int foo(); which returns an uninitialized int is OK according to C++ rules, but would need a MaybeUninit<c_int> according to Rust rules.<p>* int foo(); could throw an exception, causing UB in Rust, since Rust assumes FFI declarations not to throw according to the spec. Rust can only export `noexcept(true)` C++ FFI declarations, or C functions (since C cannot throw). Apparently, autocxx and the cxx crate ignore this and treat all C++ functions as if they never throw, giving them a safe API. That's unsound. (One can fix that on nightly Rust though).<p>Unsafety can also be introduced through ABI incompatibilities, but IIUC autocxx usage of rust-bindgen deals with that. | null | fluffything | null | 1,598,280,422 | "2020-08-24T14:47:02" | comment | 24,261,184 | 24,244,998 | null | null | null |
64 | null | null | I've visited/lived in 7/10 of those cities, and really appreciated the fact that retail and public infra look the same between cities. In that sense, there's a certain "interoperability" (much like how most airports around the world work the same). It only takes a day or so to get used to how the public transit works and how to buy things. I could drop into a new city and learn how to get around in no time.<p>(NY's subway was the least intuitive and took the longest to get used to -- it's complicated by inconsistencies like express trains, lack of electronic signage on multiuse platforms, doors not opening in certain cars for certain stops in lower Manhattan, etc. -- but even so there was a method behind the madness.)<p>However, once you venture outside the central business districts/downtowns and into the neighborhoods, things start looking very different. It's in the neighborhoods that one finds unique cultures.<p>Chicago for instance: the Loop is nice and all, but the character of Chicago is really in the 77 neighborhoods around the city. NYC's cultural hotspots are in boroughs like Queens.<p>I would say most cities retain their culture in their neighborhoods, not in their CBDs/downtowns. | null | wenc | null | 1,598,280,434 | "2020-08-24T14:47:14" | comment | 24,261,186 | 24,260,430 | null | null | null |

99 | null | null | The studies mentioned don't show that <i>using</i> hand sanitizers is ineffective, just that <i>mailing</i> the sanitizers to people along with informational pamphlets is ineffective.

Hacker News corpus, 2007-Nov 2022
Dataset Description
Dataset Summary
Dataset Name: Hacker News Full Corpus (2007 - November 2022)
Description:
NOTE: I am not affiliated with Y Combinator.
This dataset is a July 2023 snapshot of YCombinator's BigQuery dump of the entire archive of posts and comments made on Hacker News. It contains posts from Hacker News' inception in 2007 through to November 16, 2022, when the BigQuery database was last updated.
The dataset does not incorporate any modifications or filtering - it is a raw dump from the original dataset provided by YCombinator. Hence, it retains the same structure and fields as the original BigQuery table, serving as a ready-to-use resource for conducting large-scale data analysis or training language models.
All credit for the original data collection and maintenance goes to YCombinator and the original post and comment authors. This version of the dataset has been prepared for convenience and ease of use within the HuggingFace ecosystem, especially for those interested in offline usage or who prefer not to use Google Cloud.
Please bear in mind that this dataset is a snapshot and will probably not be updated. For the latest data, consider accessing the live data directly from the official Hacker News API, potentially using Anant Narayanan's scripts.
Please use responsibly, respecting all relevant terms of use and privacy considerations inherent in the data.

Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
This dataset provides a snapshot of the Hacker News posts and comments archive, sourced from YCombinator's open data, to enable easy and direct access without the need for a Google Cloud account or BigQuery interface, and without putting undue strain on the HN API. It aims to simplify the data acquisition process, promoting its use within the HuggingFace ecosystem for various tasks including analysis, trend prediction, sentiment studies, and language model training. By minimizing barriers to access, this dataset encourages a wider usage, fostering innovation in natural language processing and related fields.
Annotations
Personal and Sensitive Information
This dataset has not undergone specific checks for personally identifiable information (PII); hence, it's possible that some may exist within the data. However, as the data source is publicly available and shared by YCombinator, any potential PII present is already part of the public domain.
Considerations for Using the Data
Social Impact of Dataset
The collective wisdom and perspectives captured in the posts and comments of this Hacker News dataset represent a unique gift from YCombinator and countless contributors worldwide; it is part of the common heritage of humanity. The potential insights to be gleaned and the future knowledge to be generated, especially through the training of language models on this corpus, can provide unbounded new perspectives, enriching our understanding and potential solutions to complex issues. It is a testament to the power of shared knowledge and open dialogue in shaping the world. While there is a risk that some may use language models trained on this dataset for disinformation purposes, it's worth noting that the misuse of technology is a challenge that predates this dataset. The proverbial horse of misused technology has long since left the barn; our focus now must be on harnessing this shared intellectual legacy responsibly for the common good.
Discussion of Biases
Given that Hacker News is a technology-focused platform with a largely self-selected user base, the content and perspectives found within this dataset may lean towards technology, entrepreneurship, and related fields, often reflecting the views and biases of this specific community. As such, users should be aware that analysis drawn from this data may not fully represent a balanced, global perspective and might contain inherent biases towards topics and viewpoints that are overrepresented in the Hacker News community.
