As other users have pointed out, it's not particularly rare, because they produce good articles semi-regularly. We were discussing this the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10405992.

Sites that are mostly junk but also put out the occasional good story are a significant problem for HN. We can't ban them, because losing good stories is worse than tolerating bad ones (the latter are annoying, but get flagged). Our solution is to penalize them, review the stories, and take the penalty off the good ones. The next step will hopefully be to distribute the review process to the community.
I have been wanting something like this for a while, thank you! I think your comment in this thread might answer my question, but: Does it require Facebook or some other social network? Or can I enter the names of my friends manually?
Isn't this what entitlements do? I honestly have no idea how they work - perhaps blog material? :)
No. The definition of Absolute Zero is zero kinetic energy of the particles of a substance. You've been complaining that this definition is somehow a hypothesis, or otherwise suspect because it has never been observed, which I've said, was irrelevant, we can calculate it. It's not hard. It's junior high physics. What's the kinetic energy of something that has stopped? It's zero.

Your position is absurd. It's equivalent of saying, that distance is an unproven hypothesis, (which literally doesn't make any sense, because that's not what the word means), or perhaps more charitably a suspicious concept because we've never measured anything with zero distance between two items, because the closest two particle can get is planck length.

I'm not trying to be mean, but what you've been saying is pure gibberish.
It's only a weak argument because you've strawmanned it. I didn't say that the only thing that makes a police state is state killings. My point was about proportion, not mere absolute existence. You wouldn't say that Norway (0.7 murders/100k pop) is the same as Honduras (~90/100k, from memory) in terms of personal safety, simply because murders exist in an absolute sense in Norway.

> Either the government and its agencies are held accountable, or they are not.

Such philosophical absolutes are useless in the actual human experience. You chide me for weak arguments, yet you hold the modern US state and Hitler/Stalin/Mao/Pot's states as morally equal, since they all have extrajudicially killed at least one person and proportionality does not matter. Clearly this is not the case - the world is shades of gray, not black and white absolutes. Some grays are darker than others.

Android dumps all "smart unlock" options when you press and hold (1 second) on the 'slide to unlock' on screen button and forces passcode/password/pin from that point on. I practice doing this so it's not foreign to me if I ever find myself in a dodgy scenario.
The information look to be carefully selected to paint a very biased picture. It assume a certain amount of metal is between the scanner and the human being, and the air flight comparison is there to minimize the emotional response to risk.

Let assume that this van and flying two minutes at altitude gives around 0.00something risk to cancer and thus death. If someone shoot a gun into the air, do they expose innocent people to the same risk as this mobile X-Ray van? What about a factory that dumps mercury into the water supply, and then compare that to the average increase in heavy metal from eating a single banana?

Objective information is easily shaped to change public opinion, and I for one will be very careful when it is about unnecessary exposure to risk (and I can guarantee that the operators of the van uses protective gear against radiation).
How the war on drugs creates violence
For whatever it's worth, there are owners on the Tesla motors subreddit who say they have issues and that Tesla won't fix because they are out of warranty.

One guy was over the mileage too (I don't remember the amount but it was absurdly high to be honest).

So maybe the limitations are different from place to place?
In all honesty, the fact that babel isn't just a "rollup plugin" of sorts, and requires all kinds of custom code and a custom command line tool, makes me a bit wary of rollup.

This is JavaScript land, things move too fast to not have modularity. Babel is going to be horribly outdated and replaced by some other next big thing tomorrow. Or maybe I want to write part of my codebase in PureScript instead. Will I need a "rollupbabelpurescript" concoction?

Or am I completely missing the point here?
Thanks for the suggestion mate. However, I don't like installing apps from unknown sources, and I also wanted to use YouTube stock app, that's why I ended up developing this app ;)

I've nearly been struck as a pedestrian by cyclists sailing through red lights in SF...

It's so dangerous and reckless. There is no way the cyclists could have stopped or turned the bikes to avoid me. I walk at a decent clip and so depending on the intersection, no way the cyclist would have seen me in advance either.

The part I don't understand is that if you are riding a bike and don't have the strength to start and stop the bike appropriately for traffic safety, then you shouldn't be riding a bike. Get a segway or a motorized wheelchair.

Just Ship It: Make Encryption Standard Then Explain What It Is Later
I've nearly been hit by cyclists going at least 30 miles per hour running through red lights. They careen past looking dazed. In many cases I've had to jump out of the way at the last second to avoid a collision.
Other comments say that these recordings are unlinked from your account after some time (6 months for apple) or you turn this feature off. In a previous HN [1] post we learned that third parties can listen to these anonymized recordings to improve the system, and there are actual humans listening to it...

What just jumped to my mind is that, leaving aside how unique your voice can be, or how identifiable your behaviour and patterns are (hint: a lot), there are a lot of searches that reveal unmistakable and straight personal info. What about:

"Hey phone, text [name of my special other] [naughty and quirky stuff]"

I wouldn't care too much if someone listened to me ask for a Starbucks, but I certainly don't want anyone to listen to that.

"Works best with Internet Explorer"?

I thought sane web developers were well past that.
Very valid comment, I totally agree that the best approach is to fix the flawed flow, make things more clear, etc... Unfortunately sometimes it's not possible to spend months of development effort on such task. Especially for early-stage startup that needs to validate the idea.

The fact that the website is confusing does not mean that it has no value. SpotClarify can help show it to users, and maybe prevent the total failure.

"Friendica is what Diaspora should have been."

Federated social networks are technically interesting, but somebody has to figure out some way to get a user base. It's encouraging to see that Frendica has a few more sites than it did six months ago.[1] But 28 sites isn't many. Especially since many of them seem to be down.

I registered for Friendica.eu, which appears to be one of the larger servers. There are a total of 80 people and groups. Response time for any request is 5-10 seconds. (Behind the scenes, it's PHP.) There's an IRC server, but nobody is on the #friendica channel. Overall, it feels like using a BBS system from the 1980s.

There's already spam. "Natrol Fat Intercept Tablets, Green Coffee Bean with Raspberry Ketones…" "Galaxy Phone..."

I'd like to see someone replace Facebook with a federated system, but it doesn't look like Friendica can do it.

The Theranos controversy, explained
Judging by the extremely reckless behavior around cars that many cyclists engage in, I am not persuaded that they are conscious of their own safety or the safety of others.

Additionally, many seem to be in some kind of trance while careening through red lights. There is a "walk" sign for pedestrians, and there is no way you can safely stop to avoid a collision.

Also, if you don't have the strength to start and stop the bike safely, then there are other options such as a segway or motorized scooter.

It is possible to secure devices in ways that even the correct passcode or fingerprint will only work with a specific chipset/decryption module. Some flash storage is also only readable after an unlock code has been transmitted.
I've been using Rollup and Babel together as they are, and it works fine. I haven't tried rollup-babel, but as I understand it, it mostly speeds up the build process.
That your phone can get position info from satellites is magical. That you can bring two halves of a transformer together and get power would not have surprised an electrician from a century ago.
As a disclaimer, I'm working on a competing(ish) protocol called Muse.[1]

Unfortunately the documentation for the federated social projects I'm aware of is always severely lacking (believe me, my own included). It makes some key points very difficult to understand. With that caveat aside, this is what I think I understand about the general system architecture of Diaspora, Hubzilla, and Tent:

* Everyone runs their own server. Data on the server is plaintext at rest, but encrypted in transit.

* The protocol (only text-based?) governs communications between servers. It describes the kind of things you would expect social websites to need to do: make comments, have profiles, etc. Examples of protocol outputs: Tent[2], Hubzilla[3], Diaspora[4]

* Internally, the servers deal with privacy, sharing, etc. Your personal server and their code together determine what data is acquired, stored, shared, etc.

If this mischaracterizes any of the above protocols, I would be really grateful for corrections. It's to everyone's benefit to understand the high-level technical details of these projects. However, the system architecture described above is not, in my mind, a tenable approach to distributable social applications. Simply put, this kind of "private server as my digital avatar" + "protocol so avatars can talk" paradigm completely misses the appropriate choice of abstractions and division of concerns for social applications.

First and foremost, this is still yet another example of "privacy by promise". It just so happens that the promise is given to you by the servers of whomever you're sharing with. But then, as data is decrypted at rest, you must also trust their coding ability, their deployment ability, their... this gets very messy, very quickly. The security footprint for implementing these protocols is immense.

Secondly, this approach focuses on one specific use case: websites. The vast majority of publicly-networked applications will, at some point, have a need to perform identity, sharing, or content management. However, they may not necessarily have anything to do with text: for example, a distributed sensor network might communicate only using binary messages, but that doesn't make it any less social. Since bytes are the more basic unit, any general-purpose social protocol should therefore support them natively.

A much more robust approach is to address the "social protocol" at a much lower level: to provide only the bare minimum that any social application will need, giving transport-layer bytestreams cryptographically-enforced privacy with many-to-many capability. Only then can you escape requiring everyone to operate their own web service, which is, I firmly believe, an unrealistic goal.

This is true for almost every database. Otherwise they would require a distributed transaction between the client and server.

I can see mentalities like this - less strict working hours, work related communication continuing after work hours, etc - creeping up rapidly in Europe / my world though. I have some colleagues that go home mid-afternoon (to pick up the kids from work), but then work for a couple hours more in the evening. That makes it appear to me (and, more importantly, my boss) that they work longer hours, which causes some performance anxiety.

Me, I prefer to work 9-5. It's boring, but it's sustainable and does not cause me stress about whether I'm working the 40 hours / week my contract tells me to do.
I quit fb and blocked it on my hosts 3 years ago, so I imagine that answers that question (to be clear, all you need is an email address). I think HN is the newest social network I use?

Behind the red warning: more info about online site safety
Can software add tiny random yellow dots to a page before printing to reduce the ability to track the printer?
After seeing cyclists routinely disregard safety around cars and buses, and after being nearly hit many times crossing an intersection at the 'walk' sign by a cyclist flying through a red light, I have come to believe that cyclists are generally daredevils who lack the typical common sense about traffic safety and act like bullies around pedestrians.

If you are riding a bicycle and lack the strength to stop at a red light and then get back up to speed once the light turns green, perhaps a segway or a motorized scooter would be a better option (or a public bus).

I think we need new kind of cop show.

I got fined $150 for breezing through a stop sign on a bike once and since then I've been stopping at every single goddamn one. So if they're changing the law it makes me happy.

> Does he mean doing what Galois did [1][2] with tools like CRYPTOL [3][4]? Or something more like this [5] with EasyCrypt and CompCert? Or something simpler like Altran's SPARK crypto [6]? And maybe with protocol-level verification like miTLS [7]?

Yes.

> I don't think there's a question about whether the goals can be met so much as a lack of uptake of methods and tools that meet them.

I agree. And, that's a big part of the reason I didn't spend a lot of time on formal verification when I wrote what I wrote. The target audience of my writing is people think that the result must be as fast as the fastest implementation, but that only think that formal verification of correctness is nice to have and/or impractical to the point of not being worth trying. That isn't my own personal prioritization, but I think that actually describes the prioritization of almost everybody deploying open source crypto software today.

Anyway, I hope to have more to say about formal verification of ECC implementations later.
Ah, I agree with you on that! This quarter Sentinel-2 should improve the freely available resolution to 10m per pixel, but sadly there aren't any open access higher resolution instruments (that I know of!).

However, note that "we can individualize input control down to a per nozzle" is sadly not prevalent everywhere! Even here in Spain the irrigation of a lot of crops dates back centuries and is basically flood irrigation, so the only control input is really "flood the entire thing, or not" :|

One thing which I find very interesting for high precision installations is the use of drones for automatically inspecting areas that need the most attention. I hope open hardware & open source drone platforms greatly improve the options for farmers!
Facebook Launches TechPrep to Empower Black and Latino Parents
I learnt to drive in London this summer.

Half an hour into the first lesson, the instructor asked me if I cycled regularly in London (yes). He'd noticed that I was yielding to oncoming vehicles some distance away, and said new road users often took several hours of lessons to get the hang of this.

It's possible to fail a driving test if you fail to yield to an approaching vehicle, which includes not moving slightly to the left to let an oncoming bus use part of your lane, and includes a bicycle if they have "right of way".

What's worse - finding out an innocent man spent 20 years in prison before being exonerated, or that he was killed? I know it's an extreme minority if cases - but there really is no reason to kill people. We are perfectly capable of keeping people locked for life, and that's what we should do for the worst offenders. Is it horrible? Of course. But the alternative is much worse.
Righ. But a court cannot compel Apple to find an unknown flaw in something to help law enforcement.
In practice, though, a lot of other editors also make huge bounding-box edits, to the point where I've found box history basically useless in London even ignoring wheelmap edits. And I'd take having accessibility data over cleaner edit history.

I think the number of deaths in Vietnam is significantly higher than reported.

On a two week trip, I saw one fatality, two serious injuries and two minor injuries. This wasn't unusual, most tourists seemed to have seen at least a serious injury within a couple of weeks.

This seemed far more than 10× worse than the UK, where I lived for decades and saw less than one accident (even minor) per year, and where the police take a lot longer to clear things up (they do more investigation).
This is one of the many things that starcraft taught me. If my goal is to be better, there is little point in placing blame on anything except what is under my control.

If the opponent uses a strategy that seems unfair, then I should use that strategy.

If they are using a high risk strategy, instead of saying that they are just gambling and being mad at them I should instead become better at finding out if they are going to take that path and deal with it.

When it comes to improvement it is self defeating to say that anything out of your control was the problem. If that was in fact the case you shouldn't have let that situtation arise. If someone else is constantly causing a problem for you then you need to create a situation where they can't cause you problems anymore. Be that improve their abilities, isolate yourself from them or be good enough to solve that problem.

Then again I never quite made it to the grandmasters league.
Well, the fact that the killings are secret means that all we know is that there are nonzero of them since we know there is at least one; if you choose to believe the number is tiny then that's fine but don't act like it's known. That's the very problem behind secret laws/courts/killings; we don't know the scale, we can't. If we interrogate people in court about it to try and find out they will lie under oath and say it's their duty to lie.

And of all the many, many issues brought up you cherry picked the only one which only effects a (likely) small number of Americans so honestly I'm inclined to give that to you since you've let the other 10 or so very serious charges stand. Hooray, you've established that given what's public knowledge it's reasonable to believe we probably don't secretly execute -that many- american citizens without a trial, if that's what 'defending the establishment' looks like then consider the establishment defended.

I think police state is a little much but honestly it's an amorphous term with no meaning other than as a rhetorical tool to evoke some horrible regimes from history. I don't think we are as bad as them, but in particular the post we are talking about is factual and hardly extremist. We don't have to be in Stalin's Russia for there to be some serious problems.
