You're welcome to take it up with the Japanese Diet, but in 2015, 有形固定資産 ("tangible real property") is a thing which you can demand a bankrupt entity surrender to you if you can demonstrate ownership of it. The court held, sensibly, that BTC is not tangible real property.

See earlier layman's explanation here for more detail, if you're curious: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10018631

You will probably not find wonderful reporting on this subject because the generalist press routinely does not understand complicated specialist subjects (as is readily apparent to technically inclined people any time they stumble their way through our world). "有形固定資産 and 資産権 actually describe two different things" is a bit beyond most reporters trying to work their way through this story, including for the obvious reason.
Depends on how you define free will:

1) Free will is the capacity to act at our own discretion, independent of our current surrounding and context, including the physical state of our body and brain

2) Free will is the capacity to act at our own discretion, independent of our current surroundings and context, not including the physical state of our body and brain

Note: In both cases I'm assuming there is no soul, mind beyond the body, etc.

If you define free will as (1), then there is no free will, since any decision will always be subject to the physical state of my body and brain (except, of course, if there's something not physical in play as described in my note).

If you define free will as (2), then there is free will, since despite the context surrounding you, you can still make decisions independent of it.

The same could be applied to a state-machine (finite or not):
1) Free will is the capacity of a machine to produce outputs independent of it's current internal states and the external inputs
2) Free will is the capacity of a machine to produce outputs independent of it's external inputs

(1) means no state-machines have free will, (2) means they can have free will.

The Internet has already taken that asset away. What we are talking is about super-capitalists trying to break the Internet to keep their old bussiness model working, instead of inventing new models on the new efficient distribution channel.

I believe a new model that worked on protecting attribution of the work rather than copy-rights would be more adequate to protect authors from having their work exploited by large publishers without giving anything away in return.
For reference, an economist would call this the "infant industries" rationale for protectionism and it is generally considered a reasonable policy tool when done purposefully.
an informant names some suspects, looking up the
location of the suspects' phones seems acceptable to me.

Wasn't the "secret informant" a wiretap they didn't want subject to legal scrutiny? That's the impression I got from the article?
The implied benefit is that repetition improves quality, so more repetitions, more quickly, means your quality will improve more quickly.

You need to self-reflect after each iteration, mind you, to make sure that you learn each time you do the thing. But, this is necessary for skill progress whether you're going fast or slow.

(And, having to make the corrections can be as informative or more so, depending on how you're able to reflect on the "why" you're refining or fixing the thing).

> One of the first tests I suggest to try with PJON is to let two arduinos communicate through your body touching with the left hand the port of the first and with the right the port of the other arduino. It's stunning to see more then 90% of accuracy for this digital communication doing all that path inside a biological body. This opens the mind to possible creative solutions; generally the average reaction is like: "lets use the car frame to let all the digital embedded systems to communicate together" and so on...

Why, docker-initiated chroot would prevent FF from acessing any not-FF+libs files, including which this malware steals; on Qubes it would have access to everything user-readable in the AppVM, which may include some secrets as Qubes workflow involves user-supervised copying files across VMs.

Obviously docker, as opposed to Qubes, won't stop more complex malware that exploits the kernel.

Semi off-topic: What does the security track record of Chrome's integrated PDF viewer (PDFium) look like? Should I make it Click-to-play or is it about as secure as any other part of the browser?

Edit: NVD does list a bunch of vulnerabilities with "PDFium" in them [1], and I guess there are a few more from when it wasn't called PDFium yet, but I'm curious as to how an expert would interpret these numbers.

In this case, it was disguised as an advertisement but it was not running on an advertisement server. My adblocker did not catch it. It was injected into the page as an iframe twice. Once disguised as an ad ([IP-address]/ad.php), another time with just the IP-address of the server. I guess it was included a second time in case and adblocker catched the first one. Because it doesn't make sense to include the same exploit twice, unless I am missing something?

Ask HN: How do I become an expert JavaScript and Python debugger?
I spend so much time debugging. If I can become super fast and effective at debugging then I'll get MUCH more done.

What are your best tips for becoming a more effective debugger in JavaScript and Python?
Actually, the nature of this vulnerability would prevent any attacks against docker

>> The vulnerability does not enable the execution of arbitrary code but the exploit was able to inject a JavaScript payload into the local file context. This allowed it to search for and upload potentially sensitive local files.

Moreover, since it seems you believe that javascript is a liability in this case (as much as I loathe the language: it's not!)

be aware that you still need to interpret javascript to read all of the pdfs you can find:

The determinism kind of removes the "free" from free will. Determinism means that, if someone else knows your internal state, they can predict, or worse, manipulate your free will. People are naturally extremely personal and possessive about their free will, and these experiments are "stealing" it away. That's why the knee jerk reaction to these experiments is always extremely negative.
MIT is a fine license, but it worries me when I hear this. I've seen too many people who make assumptions about what copyright offers (and doesn't). It sucks, but it's a good idea to spend some time getting familiar with licenses so that you don't offer something that you don't intend. Also, if you are using 3rd party libraries, you need to make sure that they are compatible with the license you choose.

Just friendly advice from someone who has seen things go badly before ;-)

I can think of lots of more things, where doing them fast initially makes sure you'll never learn them:

* Typing on a keyboard

* Sharpening a knife

* Driving a car.

It seems more like a question of doing things a lot and very focused, than focusing on speed initially.
It's funny that they include google as a fast example. On my Nexus4 and Nexus7 Google search is the slowest thing you can do on the internet. Youtube HD videos are way faster than a google search and fail less often when on the train/bus. I always wonder how sending a String and getting back a list of Strings can be so much more expensive than a HD video but who am I to judge, right?

And by the time it's stable, it will be useless for official iOS development, since Apple will require developers to submit apps in LLVM bytecode (they nicknamed it "Bitcode"). For Apple Watch apps, this is already mandatory.

For Apple this makes sense if they want to switch architectures or add additional extensions to their CPU's and not require all developers to re-submit their apps, but it sucks a bit for the darwin/arm64 port of Go. Maybe we'll see an LLVM bytecode target in a few years? Then Go applications could also benefit from LLVM optimizations.
In general I disagree. I learned far more in 6 months at a "high quality" shop working excruciatingly slow than I did in the 5 years at the previous job where I banged out code as fast as possible.

I feel like when you focus on speed you very quickly learn just enough to get the task done quickly. And then your progress stalls.

> Is it ethical to look up the location of their phones?

Sure it is. They just have to get a warrant. This is not a difficult burden in such a situation. Remember that a warrant requirement only requires probably cause, which is obvious in this case). The entire point is that the government has to make sure the justification is put on record instead of simply letting the police search whatever they want. This obviously wasn't a significant burden... as they did it just an hour earlier:

At 1:05am on January 22, roughly six hours after Karsseboom was shot,
the OPD got a search warrant for three apartments: #108, #110, and #212.

At 2:45am, the OPD faxed Metro PCS, asking the company to activate a pen
register on two target phone numbers (a 510 number and a 661 number)
citing exigent circumstances.

Exigent circumstances is about a currently-still-active situation, such as a chase or where there is imminent danger. Seeing someone waving firearm at people is "imminent danger". Theorizing about what crimes a criminal might do in the future - without any specific evidence - based only on their past crimes while the officers involved take a few hours to apply for warrants and search a few apartments is surprisingly far from "imminent".

This is terrible police work: they what should have been an easy case, but rather than simply getting a warrant and making sure the necessary evidence was handled properly, they rushed the job and ruined the evidence.

These statistics provide some evidence: http://www.japancrush.com/2013/stories/30-of-single-japanese...

There is an antithetic trend in Japan though, since Japanese women are emancipated and the high economic demands prevent them from investing time into dating. So, the numbers could possibly differ even more. (I’m not sure how emancipation affects the statistics for the males, though.)
Exactly. 3D engine !== 3D modeling tool. If you are interested in a WebGL-based 3D modeling too, give http://Clara.io a try.:)

BTW we should figure out a way to connect Clara.io to WebGLStudio as it can be a source of content, both models as well as 3D animations (Clara.io has a full keyframe editor.)

I agree with you that this innovation isn't a particulary good one. However, a single platform in a language that allows you develop and test rapidly (which, arguably, javascript is) is a consequence about the ever increasing push for innovation, which I can understand.

In addition to that, I am very glad that Chrome and Firefox ship with their own PDF readers and I don't have to deal with Adobe anymore to read a portable document format.

There is one important point that seems to be lost every time an article uses adversarial examples to justify why neural nets are deficient: not even a human is perfect at understand an image at a blink. When we see an image we decode a stream of impulses. Saccades will follow observing in detail number of areas of the image at different orientations, and so our interpretation of the image will come from numerous samples, not a single image.

IMHO, it's actually quite amazing that such primitive software neural networks can understand an image in a blink, in one 'sample'. Conversely, it's not inhuman to see pictures in clouds, Rorschach tests, or even static.

Im in Germany, i can see no investment to grow a european google. Oh, yes there are great declarations of grandios plans.

"So what are you doing for a livin?"
"I work as a software developer.."
"Oh, so your company doesent produce anything real?"

You cant force a culture to embrace something new that it detests. This doesent mean that this culture will not buy the products, but it will never produce them on the level as californium.

Another example? People pay ridiculous amounts of money for public television in germany. And it is bad. Outright horrible. Not regarding production quality, not the acting, execution and direction. Then what is missing to create a german game of thrones? The answer: A diffrent production culture, that doesent view half a hour of screaming drama as a authentic drama, and understands that a joke on the henchmans axeblade makes drama so much more impacting. Will that change come? No. Cultures only adapt when they suffer and europe is not suffering enough.
It is not a 3D modeling tool, rather this is a Game Engine. Thus Unity, Unreal Engine, etc is the more proper naming style to follow.

Personally I prefer the orginal Raspberry Pi due to two things.

1) It is a non-profit that has done things I am happy about.

2) It is kind of a standard which allows the sharing of code and parts very easy.

My money goes to Raspberry Pi because it is good at what it does and I like the company.

Hi there, I'm the webadmin of the site in question. I'm working on getting the nojs version of my site up, just having a issue with navigation which I hope to have resolved shortly. The folks on reddit mentioned that a js requirement is a little much for a blog. So I'm also looking at perhaps removing the js requirement instead of having a nojs version of the site. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
Japan has extensive protection of non-tangible property rights! In addition to Arcanite Reapers and Bitcoin we have, you know, things that actually matter, too, like copyrights and and fishing rights and mineral rights and all the sorts of things you would expect a highly developed first world nation to recognize! Newspapers suggesting that a distinction between tangible and intangible assets means intangible assets cannot be owned should run this conclusion by their local attorney!
I don't understand what free will means. Either all your decisions are pre-determined, or they're made at random. Is one better than the other?
Then : Hacker News considered harmful.
"The implied benefit is that repetition improves quality, so more repetitions, more quickly, means your quality will improve more quickly."

Yes, but that's frequently not the case. Developers at "sweat shops" tend to write far more code, and work many more hours, than the average dev at a top tier software house and yet they are usually much worse devs.
The experiment seems to boil down to, "Processing and propagating signals encoding decisions, to report them to the executive centers where the conscious mind will notice them, takes time."

That's not really a wild statement about free will. It's just another paper showing that brains are made of atoms.

As stefanix writes:

>Also the strict separation of conscious/unconsciousness seems simplistic. Most actions may very well be processed subconsciously with very little decision making bubbling up to consciousness.

This. The "unconscious" processing an answer/reaction belongs to the same entity that the conscious part belongs too.

Implying we're some kind of automata because reactions can come pre-processed by the subconscious part misses the point.

The subconscious part is the same "self" that the conscious part is, it's not just what we can think "out loud" in our head that counts as us taking a decision.

It's trivial to brute-force an answer to your question: if I take $5 I'll get $5, if I take $10 I'll get $10. I prefer $10 to $5, so I take the $10.

Intelligence is needed when there are too many possibilities to brute-force. We need to make guesses about which actions may give better results; we have to spot patterns, generalisations and simplifications to allow re-use of previous experience; we need to identify the crucial aspects, in order to narrow down the possibilities; we need to allocate resources efficiently, and know when to give up; and so on.

These are the things we would like machines to do well, but we have no satisfactory theory to explain, measure or compare such things. Introspecting our own thought patterns is not an effective way to reverse-engineer these proceses in humans, as the parent says.
