At least one of them was also by a cop's buddy, who drove in, shot somebody then wandered over to the cops for a high five and to be arrested.
It's significantly less direct because Roundup has no effect on the Monarch butterflies. The issue is the way it's being used by farmers. If it were not being used to eliminate milkweed, there would be no effect whatsoever on the butterfly populations. We would have the same problem with absolutely any other herbicide.
Someone has mentioned that... It would probably take a fair bit of work, and I'm not convinced the material is ready for book form yet, but it's definitely an option for the future!

We started seeing this around the 9th I believe. We were not the only people as well, based on a somewhat late ISC post[1].

We thought it was a new form of intelligent blackholing. Instead of sending traffic to IPs that could easily be blacklisted by tools to get around the firewall, the Great Firewall would start sending them to random "good" IPs for the same result. Others seem to think the same thing[2].

Since it's HN, I'll note that one of the cosponsors, Thomas Massie, is both a Mechanical Engineer and an entrepreneur. In the mid-90s, he and his wife (also an MIT engineer) started SensAble Technologies, a company which develops haptic feedback hardware and software. He has also built his own off the grid house, and even appeared on Junkyard Wars.

This is partly what makes Redbox is so infuriatingly frustrating. Netflix DVDs are in awful shape and waits for the "long tail" disks are insane.

I really can't get behind the online rentals because they feel like Blockbuster-style ripoffs. At the same time that I can rent a new release from Redbox for $1.50, streaming wants to charging $4 for the exact same show.

Public library inter-library requests are becoming the only answer anymore but it's so much freaking friction. And the local public library late fee policies here would make 90's Blockbuster look like saints...

And I'm getting really, really tired of the Netflix streaming new releases being exactly the same movies that are concurrently playing free on the HDTV subchannel broadcasts (ThisTV, BounceTV, etc) or on Crackle. Netflix doesn't have commercials, whoopee, I guess. That's only an issue because stupid streaming sites don't allow ad fastforwards (which a DVR handles wonderfully)

And while I'm ranting, who at Sony thought that anyone pushing the eject button on a Bluray player wants to stand around twiddling their thumbs while the player mines a bitcoin block or whatever it's doing before spitting out the tray? Sorry, I digress.

Luckily, they can update Maps app without waiting for an OS release. Sure, it'd make a great preso, but I'd prefer they take their time and get it right.

Google maps also has better UX than Apple Maps unless you use Siri. I hope Apple tackles UX as well - perhaps converting Apple Maps to the new flat look and adding more swipe support.
> Is there not a way to synthesize gold, like how diamonds can be synthesized ...

Diamonds are a form of carbon, all you need is a different form of carbon and sufficient pressure. Gold is an element, and creating it requires a supernova. Were this not so, if gold could be synthesized, it wouldn't be selling for $1300/ounce.
All of those criteria, plus I think an extra criterion that they have to happen to so many people that it reaches some kind of tipping point where there's a mass consensus that things are authoritarian. Just to be clear, I'm not excusing the abuses you've listed.

Houston is way ahead of you. I don't live there anymore, but circa 06-08 they introduced dodge charger cop cars with 'ghost' paint, which is basically only visible if you're parallel with the car. they're primarily used for traffic enforcement, always assumed that it was just to increase revenue at the cost of reducing speeding deterrence, but from your comment it looks like they're threading that loophole nicely.

> But I do think that the answer to someone being mistreated at airport security shouldn't be to "take the train".

It should be at least part of the answer; a big part of the idea of the TSA (and one of the reasons the airlines got on board to help lobby for it) was that it moved the responsibility and potential liability from the airlines to the government (who, incidentally, has a whole host of immunities to deal with the "liability" aspect.)

Voting with your dollars away from industries whose services require being subjected to the TSA sends a message -- not directly to the government, but to the industries involved.

That's not to say its the only response, but voting-with-dollars ought to be part of the response.
There it is, then. Thanks!

Except (spoiler alert) the central conflict of the story is that the humans don't even remotely want to go through that kind of change, even though it's scientifically possible. Which means that you have biologically stock humans who are allowed to rape each other, not futuristic bioengineered posthumans who just happen to not mind being raped.

It wasn't even an especially important or relevant part of the plot. It's not an unusual, or especially heinous sin for SF to be tone deaf about how actual human beings function, but supposing that any kind of peaceful society would allow rape is pretty absurd.

That's interesting. I wonder if you or anyone else had raised a question about this at the presentation. Communication is a key aspect of partnership. And if there is little communication, or terms on communication SLAs, then there is plentiful scope for ill partnership.

Reading your notes about the presentation on Slashdot, it appears that Apple had thought very carefully and prepared extensively about the iTunes business model. I am pretty sure they must have had something about this aspect as well. Its pretty surprising that no one else on the other side raised anything about it.

For now it is websocket, but moving to a more distributed environment to avoid single point of failure.

Also working on making the audio encrypted and locking rooms for more privacy.
I also don't have a strong opinion on Bitcoin, but the author's argument seems flawed.

Yes, running power stations and manufacturing chips requires the protection of a government; yes, Bitcoin mining depends on the existence of power and chips, and therefore indirectly on a functional government. But I don't see how you get from "Bitcoin mining stops if the government doesn't exist" to "So the government might as well be the arbiter of all transactions."
Compared to ten years ago:

My electric bill is 10x. My water bill is 6x-8x. I live in the same house and have the same consumption then and now.

My supermarket costs are 5x-7x.

So yes, real inflation has been pretty scary the last 10 years. On a silicon valley techie salary I can absorb these costs but it's still a huge increase.

Talking with some friends the other day about this topic, I projected the numbers for the next ten years if things were to continue on this path and the result would be that in ten years I won't be able to pay utilities + food on my salary. So presumably something will change or break, because that's not sustainable.
you're missing the underlying crux of the problem, which is scale. at small scale, authority can be roughly verified amongst a group. someone is good at building houses, another person is good at teaching, one is trustworthy, another is not, etc. you can sense these things directly. but (mis-)information scales geometrically/logistically with population, and we have to increasingly rely on imperfect proxies, like certifications, titles, hearsay, etc. to verify and trust each other.

that in turn leads to a comfortable insularity for authorities, which allows them to abuse popular trust with fewer and fewer direct consequences. that is, authorities become more disconnected from the consequences of their actions. as soon as corruption (of any sort) happens frequently enough, the populace has no choice but to move to distrusting all authority because nearly none of it can be verified personally. and then we have this whole dynamic of everyone trying to claim authority over all sorts of stuff, most of which we have no deep knowledge/experience about.

that's the real crisis of modernity, trust at scale. and what we're rediscovering is that most of what we say is bullshit and should be disregarded en massé. we even have terms like 'serious' that point to the timelessness of this general problem.

100% agree for laptops (and desktops).

But putting an M1 into iPad 11 and 12.9 (and now Air!?) was a huge mistake. I get it - economies of scale. The new thing, why not take the power etc.

Problem is: ipads (for me at least) were all about battery power on the go. My 12.9er is useless and basically only used at home. My 11" Cellular model is still good but definitely a few hours less than my old A12X 11"er was. And the difference in speed is negligible on a non-multitasking device.
Statistical forward looking models proposed by a guy who works in finance?

How could that ever go wrong :)

EDIT: More seriously, if it's already impossible to measure, I fail to see how more complicated metrics would do anything but do an even worse job of measuring. There might be exceptions to this rule in a few cases but it's generally the way things work.
I do understand why the "n-word" brings up the worst in us. That's why we must fight, not the word, but the worst in us.

Please, don't think I am a jerk. Our differences, be them skin color, language or cuisine are not as important as we make them. If we face those differences, I trust we can solve them. If we had done that a couple generations ago, we could have prevented a whole lot of suffering.

I'm sorry but I don't agree. Having the ability to define custom data entry forms (including unique field types like calendar dates, google maps location pickers, etc) and the data storage that goes with them via a web interface with no coding required seems pretty modern to me. Can you point out an example of another approach that seems better to you?

I'm guessing less worse than the incentive to do the minimum amount possible knowing you're going to get a pay raise regardless.

We can change the test if it's not measuring the right thing (we should do that anyway regardless of it's use for teacher measurement). Test scores are what parents, universities, etc. measure the performance of children by, we shouldn't have a double standard of having one metric for children and another for those who teach them.
Yes, exactly that. Why do the && in that order? Because isFairUse(workUnderInvestigation) was a much less expensive operation than copyrightable(originalWork) for this particular value of originalWork.

> If he restricted his focus to the highest performing funds of the past 10 - 30 years, he would have lost handily.

Is that "funds which performed well before 2008" or "funds which have performed mostly well since 2008"? The former makes sense since the latter is largely hindsight/time travel but couldn't the challenged party have picked those funds for their side of the bet back in 2008 anyway?
From my experience, I've come across many individuals in academia who I've tried to suggest particular approaches to their choice of problem and be rejected because they are too proud or too afraid to learn something new. I'm not trying to be an ass when I do, because that would undermine my attempt to share information, but something as simple as suggesting "for i in list:" instead of "for i in range(len(list))):" is so offensive to them since they didn't learn it first when they learned how to program (and god-forbid they learn it from a second year graduate student).

May be biologists or people at Stanford (or biologists at Stanford) are less proud, but my experience here has made me stop trying to relate basic programming concepts to fellow academics.
If they _had_ learned the concepts, they would have no trouble understanding their kids' new homework.

Not so.

I understand the concepts perfectly well. The problem that I have is that there are multiple ways that I can map my understanding of the problem to the needlessly overcomplicated homework question in front of me. And if I can't figure out which of those ways matches what my child was taught, I can't tell my child which pointless and silly way of answering it is the "right" one.

You can object that this is opposite to the intent of the Common Core initiative. But it doesn't change the fact that this is the implementation of the Common Core initiative that my children actually have to deal with.

I lucid dream regularly (about 90 percent of dreams I remember, I"m lucid; easily a few times a week for a couple of decades), and visit the same places and people fairly often. I also have a more 'complete' dream experience than a lot of people (apparently) in that it's a full sensory experience and I can read/write in my dreams.

I definitely have had dreams I don't want to leave (or, vice versa, there are some dreams + recurring locations I ALWAYS leave), and some that make me feel very sad when I wake up because of the loss. If I were in a coma, I could see something like that happening.
I tried using syncthing as I liked the idea of not relying on a cloud provider, but it seemed to be really slow. So slow that I gave up and setup Google Drive. (even over a local network syncing a 2gb file was going to take hours even though I could download that file from the internet in a couple of minutes - is special configuration required to make it use the local network?)
Well that might be a concerted effort to keep your attention turned away from all the similarly nasty things happening in your own country. In my country I think about older examples like the Swill Milk Scandal of the 1850s but more recent efforts like “ag-gag laws” that make it a crime to document the brutal conditions inside slaughterhouses and food processing facilities. This isn’t just a “China” problem.

Take a look at the results on http://www.areweprivateyet.com/

The methodology is described here: https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2011/09/tracking-trackers...

Even the DNT header, which is widely recognized as a failure since it relies on the perpetrators to regulate themselves, protects you better against tracking than blocking third-party cookies. It's just too easy to track people by other means, and the companies that aren't already doing it will certainly start if a meaningful number of people suddenly block third-party cookies.

The only pragmatic and effective way to avoid being tracked today is to use something like uBlock (more efficient ABP + noscript) with the third-party script and frame blocking features enabled (whitelisting third-party scripts/frames only on those sites that break something you want to see at the cost of possibly being tracked by something the block lists don't catch.)
The reason people complain is because iOS updates are a horrible kind of bait and switch. You update the OS because you think its awesome, but are unable to downgrade when you find that in reality, its slow and bloated.

The most infuriating thing in all of this is that my iPhone 4S is STILL a fast device. The CPU hasn't shrunk since the time I bought it. Apple has decided that I am unworthy of restoring my phone to the state it was when I purchased it.
When you remove the obvious way to track the resulting solutions are much much harder to prevent or even be aware of e.g. Fingerprinting, cache headers and others
I have often wondered if my shit would burn well compared to people who put on weight. I can increase the amount I eat while really doing nothing and I still remain skinny.
