Valid point. Even encryption is only "secure" for a limited time. I could sniff the traffic, store the data and wait until the encryption is crackable. For most transactions that is good enough as our passwords are probably not relevant in 10 years. For some transactions it may not be enough because you probably would have the same bank account in 10 years. Granted the cost to capture and save for a later date probably outweighs the potential to exploit.

At the same time I would not expect a front end JS/CSS developer to know the specifics of the entire system, only the parts of his/her subsystem. That is to say they should know XSS/CSRF like the back of their hand, but probably don't need to fully understand a stack overflow. On the other hand if you write C/C++ or any other low/mid level language XSS probably means nothing to you and stack overflow is highly important.
Thank you for the feedback. I should have added that you can see a test account with a user email of jetsons1962@yahoo.com and a password of jetsons. Good point on a better "book" example. I'll add it to the list. Thanks again.
I've nearly missed flights twice because of uber drivers canceling on me - 10-15 min after accepting the ride In Columbus, Ohio and Panama. If you've ever tried to get taxis in Panama you know they're worse though.

If I'm going to take uber to the airport, I'm careful now to leave an extra 30 min over the two hours I would normally plan for.
> One of the big open questions is "are APIs copyrightable?" The court skirted that question, and instead focused on whether it was fair use:

Doesn't deciding that it's fair use specifically mean that they think it is copyrightable? The fair use doctrine specifically refers to the use of copyrighted material.
I've seen articles saying we should treat the B117 (UK) variant as a new virus. Shouldn't we just call it UK virus if it's a new virus?

I'm not actually serious. I think naming viruses/variants after places is a mistake to begin with since it's hard to prove where they originate. Also it discourages finding new viruses since you don't want your home country's name to be used in naming it.

Nobody knows where the Spanish flu came from. It's just that they were the first ones who paid attention to it since they weren't fighting in WWI.
I pointed out earlier that I shouldn't have made that comment.

> Textualists say that intent doesn't mean squat. Originalists will consider intent.

In practice, textualism and originalism aren’t all that different, because most of the same indicia that originalists will look to for signs of “original intent” textualists will look to for signs of what the words of the text mean in their original context (textualists are not, as a class, blind to context). While different observers will weight the individual indicia differently, the variation within the textualist and originalist camps on this is more significant than that between the camps. The camps really mostly differ in how they tend to frame arguments from the same facts to the same conclusions.
> The more leverage you have as an individual, the less relevant a union is for you.

If this was true, why are the highest paid and in-demand stars and directors in Hollywood all still dues paying members of their unions?
can anyone recommend any meta-book on writing techniques and style? I recently picked up "the elements of eloquence" by Forsyth and it's pretty good, but it focuses a lot on rhetorical figures and not more higher-level structures like described in this article
I helped a person get back into their yahoo mail account and the web interface showed auto playing video ads with sound. I recommended they get a different account or at least use IMAP to check mail, but they were not interested.
I agree that Zuckerberg doesn't have the best incentives, but his incentives are still infinitely better than those of any government because Facebook's status is built on consent rather than coercion.

Decentralized and permissionless networks would be the best solution, but failing that, I'm happy to see the incumbents experimenting with different things that may improve the situation somewhat. Regulation and other forms of coercion is not a solution. Any "meaningful regulatory protections against disinformation" will no doubt become mandatory disinformation and protections against accurate information instead.

Taking into consideration their past actions and terrible incentives, government officials are the last people I would trust to determine what is true or what should be published.
NO WAY! :D

it is technically less permissive than mine but that's just perfect for it's function. I'm sure if they had shade smooth they would generate millions.
It's probably mostly money paid to lawyers (to do various legal tasks associated with maintaining the trademarks).
The way that's worded sounds like Bitcoin was designed with ASICs in mind - that isn't the case, is it?
I have seen numerous current and ex Googlers here in HN (in the past) claim that Python is still very prevalent among Google's source code base so this is not at all surprising; was bound to happen at one point.

Whether they have any other hidden agendas is pure speculation. Time will tell.

It's my opinion that they are simply making sure that a technology they are very heavily invested in doesn't bleed most of its brains out.
I'm not influencing public policy, setting up foundations and organizations to lobby, inviting politicians and policy makers to conferences, or pushing for this or that through mass paid campaigns.

Talking publicly as an individual is part of what's called "democracy".

Undue influence based on your money is part of what's called corporatism.

> If Google does leave Australia, publishers may also suffer. One academic study led by Stanford University economist Susan Athey, into what happened when Google News pulled out of Spain in 2014, concluded that traffic to news sites fell about 10 per cent.

My naive, incorrect view is that a 10% drop doesn't sound like a lot. What would make this a significant drop? I am guessing if the newspapers operated on thin margins then it would affect their own ad revenue?
I have tried both versioning the entire "raw" block design files and it is a mess. Vivado creates a ton of files and it's not clear which ones you need in version control in order to regenerate the BD from a fresh clone, and many of the files that you do need get modified anytime the block design is used to build the design which causes git to report file modifications. All in all, I don't recommend it.

However, managing a Tcl script is very doable, and this is my preferred method now. This has some drawbacks too of course -- you have to ensure that you use the same arguments to the `create_bd_tcl` command every time you update your script, and if you need to make any modifications to the script then you need to have a process for doing that. But it's much better than the alternative.
> It is our own fault: we no longer vote for idealism.

We who?

> And the other party will just drag you through the mud if you try to run on something like "hope."

A pretty much immutable property of the two-party system in the US has been -- from day one -- that the other side will drag you through the mud for whatever you say. Whether it is idealistic or pragmatic or anything else.

The idea that this is somehow new is, well, historically blind.
There was a lady in the UK who "lived on" a pound a day but both are really stretching the meaning of that phrase. "They ate food worth 1$/£ a day" would be less of a lie.
Good article. Personally, I'm not sure I'd agree with the trade off regarding using PageSpeed.

If I'm reading your graphs right, once you hit around 60 requests per second, performance starts degrading rapidly, to the extent where you are generating errors and can't serve content at all.

Without PageSpeed, you're essentially serving up to 350+ requests per second with absolutely no errors/timeouts, and only a slight degradation in response times.

You mention it's a compromise, but the central question is do you want a site that has content that can load quickly, but can collapse and not serve any content at all, or a site that may be slightly slower loading on a device, but continually stays up serving content in a reasonable time frame?

Anyway, thanks for the insights, some good stuff there.
You can't patent an idea. The patent is for the method of extracting sound from tiny vibrations in a video. The method is novel and non-obvious, and follows from their work in motion magnification.
So the builds are reproducible automatically?
I find it ironic that the New York Times followed this up with "RFK was right, we DO need more jobs." Personally I'm rooting for 'full unemployment'.

Everyone should read Galbraith's "the Affluent Society". Our economy is built on scarcity; we couple productivity to consumption (thus, we need jobs because we need to have money so we can buy things so we have jobs). This is idiotic, especially when we don't have scarcity any more. It's very likely humanity is productive enough to give everyone a high standard of living, but our economics don't permit it. We're too busy redistributing income upwards.

Basic income seems a way out, at first. But a post-scarcity economy should be fundamentally different. This likely means getting rid of some forms of property; this won't be easy.

Thank you for saying this. Seems a lot of people here can't get out of their own cultural viewpoint. This type of disobeying of family (especially from a women) is looked down upon like, say, raping someone is in the US or Europe.
I bought the game with 6 months access one and a half years ago. After the 6-months period was over, I still was able to replay the whole game from start to finish. And even now, after 18 months the login is still working. I can play the game just fine.
That's no guarantee, but it seems the 6 months policy isn't really enforced.
Probably just a safeguard in case popularity and server load takes off.

For the game itself: I can highly recommend it. You will get a decent grip of vim. However, it doesn't get into advanced topics like macros, plugins etc. It won't make you a vim wizard. But for a beginner, it's excellent.
>Let's say you tell those 3|||3 who wanted to save someone from torture by accepting a speck in their eye that they cannot, and someone must be tortured instead. You've massively increased the unhappiness in the world - not only is an individual getting tortured, but 3|||3 have ended up with a situation that's worse than they wanted. Are you going to claim that it's still got a higher utility? Now that you notice that you're making those 3|||3 unhappy by the choice, you can see that the disutility scales with the number of people - that's why the number of people becomes irrelevant

If the people are told of the choice, that's a whole new problem, but that's kind of avoiding the point of the original question. To use a hacking analogy, you're using a side-channel to cheat.

Nobody is told about any of this. If they were, that would itself need to be factored in, and quite possibly lead me to prefer specks.

>If it's a negligible fraction that scales, and I could plausibly think that any sane person should donate that fraction of their money to save a person from torture then yes.

Each person isn't donating to save someone from torture, they're donating to save 1/3|||3 of torture.

Let's rephrase the original question to zero in on that last point. There are 3|||3 people. You choose the number of people who donate one dollar, which can be any number between 0 and 3|||3. After you make a decision, one of those people is chosen at random, and they are tortured iff they did not donate.

If you think about it, this results in the exact same outcomes in either choice, except you have more options than all or nothing. You basically choose the probability of torture.

To be consistent with your previous view, you'd need to not pick zero donaters. So for at least some people, it should be worth it for them to pay 1 dollar to avoid a 1/3|||3 probability of torture.

This dissolves, as you may have noticed, into Pascal's Wager. (Or Pascal's Mugging, more precisely, which was coined by Yudkowsky.) What if I tell you that unless you give me a dollar, I'm going to torture you for 50 years? The probability of that being true is more than 1/3|||3 (and if you disagree, then you are way too overconfident for life. 3|||3 is a huge number, and there's no conclusions I can think of in which I'd place that much confidence. We don't even have anywhere near the kind of raw data to draw any conclusion that confident.) So are you willing to give up a dollar to avoid the >1/3|||3 chance that I'm telling the truth?

If not, and all or most of those people in the problem would answer the same, then your previous rationale falls apart.

(Oh, and this is not the real Pascal's Mugging; that's much harder to deal with. But let's stick with the easy stuff for now, shall we?)

Also, what about the argument in http://lesswrong.com/lw/kn/torture_vs_dust_specks/ueo

(And if we're going to continue this, could you please move it over to another forum? It's getting harder to keep track of comments here.)
How do you handle recurring payments without the user having to enter their PIN (or whatever again). I'm talking about subscriptions like in Stripe?

Also, how do you get around the step where the user is redirected to the bank page to enter the 3D secure pin / internet banking password / IPIN?
"Rather than collecting webcam chats in their entirety, the program saved one image every five minutes from the users' feeds, partly to comply with human rights legislation, and also to avoid overloading GCHQ's servers."

Ummm, "comply with human rights legislation" ... what? Are they implying that they was a human rights watchdog involved that confirmed that their approach was "legal"? Or, is the more likely case that they assume that their activities are legal internally -> ergo we're fine to proceed? That phase in itself is a HUGE red flag to me.

Same here. I grown up in Czechoslovakia where everything is dubbed with high quality. Netflix dubbing sounds to me like somebody just reading the script. What I slso hate when englisg dubbing and subtitles doesn’t match.
ksh93 supports both completion and history. I lost interest in looking before uncovering information about versions of ksh more than thirty years old, but neither feature is mentioned in descriptions of differences between ksh93 and predecessors, so I suspect the feature has been there for longer. Posix compliance is neither necessary nor sufficient for a reasonable colloquial definition of "shell."
My problem with vitamins and supplements is that the vast majority of people who take them are self-diagnosing a deficiency or listening to random people on the internet who think they're able to parse studies on their own.

For anything: go to your doctor, get blood work done, and listen to their advice. Don't just go to CVS and pick up some pills and go to town after reading about Vitamin D on HN.
If social networks hadn't instituted real-name policies, people wouldn't be so concerned about old comments, because those comments might be linked to pseudonyms, not their real names.

That seems a bit too pedantic... I think the correct answer is that certain persons tried to use the virus' chinese origin as a smear, and now it's unusable. You can't talk like those people because those people talked like that.

This happens all the time in Germany (where I live now): Nazis use a phrase or something, and after that using it makes one sound like a nazi even if that's really completely unreasonable. There was a fine example around 2002, when the newspaper editors had a long discussion on how to translate the name of dhs.gov without triggering any prejudice in the readers, just because a long-dead nazi tended to use phrases very much like various possible translations.

Noone's been using e.g the South African origin of that variant as a smear, so it doesn't carry any connotations.

I like it! Some notes:

1) some text artifacts on complex characters (or just apostrophes?) e.g. "The Masterâ€™s as the New Bachelorâ€™s (2011)"

2) have you consider an inverse video option (white on black, for better visibility?)

3) a Submit link, even if just direct to https://news.ycombinator.com/submit
Yes, and a clever hacker might sabotage my C compiler to always build a back door into software it compiles. Even if the compiler's open source that can be hard or impossible to detect.

But in my experience, too many people confuse "this is a possible threat" with "this is a threat it's reasonable for me worry/take action about", and that's what I was getting at.

"San Jose is debatable."

San Jose's motto/tagline is "Capital of Silicon Valley" (http://www.sanjoseca.gov/).

Is this mostly about saving time, saving mental effort, simultaneously finding tangential content, aligning with some ideology, or something else? Actually curious.
sorry.. perhaps this is a better explanation

Another example, if you're using Sass for CSS, I don't think that works seamlessly either due to this read-only filesystem restriction

As for the delay to restart your app.. its really nothing to worry about.. its probably on the order of a few more hundreds of milliseconds, but if its shut down due to low traffic, you probably don't need that kind of responsivity anyway. If its getting alot of traffic, then this sleep period shouldn't happen.
What you can do with spectrum analyzers is pretty awesome. In my first year in a lab I built a program that scrapes the NIST spectral database, reads the data from a spectrum analyzer attached to the computer, and figures out which types of atoms the thing the spectrum analyzer is looking at contains. This is harder than it sounds. Essentially you're trying to match tens of thousands of sets of spectral lines of varying strength to a noisy spectrum measurement (something like this but noisier: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5d/Spectra-...).

The problem is that one element, say natrium, has many spectral lines of varying strength. You're trying to find a set of elements that best explains the measured spectrum. If you plotted all spectral lines from all elements on a spectrum, it would be completely black because there are so many. In the end it only worked well for fluorescent tubes, but it could tell you what's in them, even things a human would have a very hard time discovering by looking at the spectrum and manually comparing it to the NIST database (the university has all kinds of weird lamps like natrium lamps, blacklights, and fluorescent tubes in many colors all containing different stuff, and looking at computer monitor pixels is fun too).

My program output an element X who's name I forgot for many of the lamps, but when I plotted its spectral lines over the spectra I couldn't see the match clearly, so I added a parameter to the algorithm so that it would be more restrictive on the number of different elements returned. In the presentations of the lab the prof commented "many of these tubes also contain element X, but you can't see it with the spectrum analyzer you used, you need a higher quality one". Bummer.
It's a toy for little girls. It just happens to be easily hackable for other uses. Which is neat.
yes yes yes!

It sucks that our Tribe can't be 7 billion people. It really does. But we should see it as a positive and a war of _benefit_ instead of a war of _ideas_. What _benefit_ does believing in QAnon offer? What _benefit_ does being apart of Group A have over Group B?

Each community is responsible for its own truths and policing them how they see fit. We should be arguing over how to make our _benefits_ better than theirs, not trying to force our ideologies onto them.
It sounds very interesting and I hope you will be successful.

How realistic hosting on-premise / in a private cloud without breaking the bank is? The price is "contact us" right now. I sometimes need to develop applications where privacy and GDPR is critical.

The current pricing per developer/user is not announced and I see that as a risk for me. I have been priced out of Retool, they wanted more money than two good full-stack senior developers, so I would like to know if your product is going to make sense for me before I invest time and resources in it. I'm currently using AppSmith.

> git people love to edit the history of the commits

It varies. I avoid editing the history and make my opinion known whenever the topic comes up. Editing the history now requires making assumptions about what future developers might want or need; making assumptions like this is similar to a form of You Ain't Gonna Need It (YAGNI). It's better to give the future developers everything that we have, no matter how "ugly", and allow them to get what they actually need out of it.

In a previous life, our development workflow required rebasing as one of the steps for permission reasons (only senior devs could merge branches into master, so having everyone rebase first made sure conflicts were resolved by the branch's author)
It's had several days of discussion and another big discussion today.
