Morality is subjective at the edges. We all share a common morality, otherwise our society would not function. Most of the common morality is captured by laws.

I completely agree with you that law enforcement officers will see it that way. I posit that that is a matter of limited perspective. They see backdoors as a means to catch criminals, and do not consider the implications for surveillance, democracy and freedom at all.

This paper is not aimed at them, it is aimed at the cryptographers, who could hopefully more easily understand that perspective.
Zuck is paying his taxes and isn't breaking any laws with any of this. The OP submission and most of these replies really sounds like jealousy than anything else.
Juries are drawn from local populations, whose demographics can differ radically from the national average. We can't know whether or not people were under-represented or over-represented without knowing where this took place.

You might have a point if Chrome hadn't been the first browser to implement pinning, therefore defining the concept in web context to a large extent.

You may argue that this is is broken behaviour, but that's what pinning currently is in browsers. Seems it's this way in Firefox too ("pinning not enforced if the trust anchor is a user inserted CA, default" - https://wiki.mozilla.org/SecurityEngineering/Public_Key_Pinn...)
Wealth taxes exist in other countries and are proposed by some people for the US. I was speaking generally and not in reference to a specific tax regime. And besides, converting the paintings to money would be necessary before it could be used for charitable purposes anyway, so the distinction you are drawing is not very relevant.

I'm not opposed to taxes but I am opposed to the idea that taxes should equalize everyone's wealth and that all big investment should come from the government.

Ignore that guy. He's a new account that specialises in trolling. I've seen him in other threads where his comments are so downvoted that they're barely readable. I think they're either deleted or removed at this point.
And of course, even though this jury didn't convict the defendant, seemingly correctly (at least from the author's perspective), it's entirely possible for the prosecutor to move for a retrial, and this time keep all the black men off the jury, and get a conviction. Or if the defendant isn't out on bail, or maybe even if he is, to convince him to take a plea bargain to second degree murder, or manslaughter.

There's nothing wrong with Chick-fil-A selling chicken with antibiotics, and there's nothing wrong with Mark Zuckerburg being clever about how he spends his money.

If you don't like Chick-fil-A, don't eat there.

If you don't like Facebook, don't use it.

If you don't like the tax code, lobby Congress or do something about it. But don't blame Zuck for being smart within the confines of the law.
I was going to say that.

Right, there is no problem, this is not controversial. The linked article that started this thread is suggesting that somehow Zuckerberg plans to get this tax-advantaged treatment by making gifts to an organization that is not actually charitable. That would be a problem, but I would suggest that the linked article is mistaken in saying that this is what Zuckerberg is doing.
I don't understand what you are refuting?

We both know that the narrative was that a white cop choked a black man to death - which was simply not true.
Intelligence is different from wisdom is different from knowledge.

Wisdom is the eyesight (degree of visual acuity) of a consciousness.

Your knowledge is what you've heard and experienced and accepted through your individual consciousness.

The issue is that knowledge can be right or wrong – because people hear what they want to hear, generally speaking, and are not aware of the difference between their thought and the reality. Plus, people understand the same things in different ways, when they do not have sufficient wisdom to see the thing itself.

The problem is that some conspiracy theories end up being completely true. Others do not.

My question to you is, given that 'theories' are commonly defined as things still unproven, by what criteria do you distinguish a wacky conspiracy theory from one that seems plausible?
I don't dispute that the author may be biased but that doesn't invalidate the statements made.

From what I know of Cuba I'm inclined to believe both of those statements.

And no, I'm not a fan of the Cuban government. I just don't think that not mentioning the 'brutal dictatorship' amounts to ignoring it. Should it be mentioned at all times to assure readers of a lack of bias?

Ironically, your insistence on mentioning it makes me suspect that you yourself have a bias.
Of course she voted to acquit. So did the old guy who shouted "Nothing is obscene!" the moment he entered the jury deliberation room, despite the fact that Jello was not charged with obscenity. And the girl who said "The defense attorney is pretty cute."

Definitely to get the little achievement, me included. I wouldn't put it on my resume but I guess it is a fun little thing to have.
Impartiality and expertise are not necessarily correlated. In fact in my experience, experts tend to hold much stronger personal opinions about their area of expertise, than do members of the random general public.
This example has text inside the boxes. I use svg's .getBBox() to obtain width/height for each label.

The max width parameter is optional. I am not sure what are you trying to do with the graphs though. This library is not for graphs or trees. It's for points on single axis.
In a simulated environment the cost of computation grows exponentially. There would be a cutoff point.

The iPhone sold more in 2008 Q4 than in the previous 5 quarters combined, which I suspect is when the AT&T subsidization started.

Also it's worth noting the iPhone didn't initially have an app store or support 3rd party apps, which is what Ballmer was referring to. Had that held, history likely would have proven him right.
Look at actual user reviews. Most people said it was really a poor act 2 after a good act 1. I dont know what else to tell you.
The idea is not that science or some "expert" judges those under trial.

It's that the society they live in finds them either guilty or not.

Jury's are representatives of what the society things happened.

It's an extremely democratic institution, and juries and their role they have been devised and praised by "trained people" including the very best legal minds.

Of course it's not fool prouf -- the same ways society and laws are not foul prof (e.g. consider racism). But those for things, an expert wouldn't help either.
>Do you see this new work as a departure from, or a continuation of the antibiotics development of the past?

It is a continuation of some great science that doesn’t ever make it to market. There have been a lot of interesting new antibiotics discovered over the last 20 years or so that just have not been picked up.
Unless I'm mistaken they're also fundamentally misunderstanding SSL/TLS.

As far as I can tell, LE never sees your private keys. A Certificate Authority signs your public key, so no, the NSA can't coerce LE to give up your private key because LE never sees it to begin with. Could the NSA coerce LE into signing one of the NSA's public keys under your Common Name (that is, coerce them into issuing rogue certificates for "national security" use)? Certainly, but they could do this before, with any already existing CA.
The comment I replied to was talking about a tax agency coming into your home/office and claiming privately created artworks because you "have too many".
In Japan lay judges (citizens) were re-introduced into trials in order to offer defendants a possibly more sympathetic audience.
In Japan, due to quite a few idiosyncrasies[1], prosecutors achieve upwards of 95% conviction rates.

An imperfect jury system is likely better, in criminal cases, than having cozy professionals decide cases.

[1] often no attorneys during interrogation, forced confessions, detentions without charges, taking up only choice cases, declaring "accidents" rather than pursuing murder, etc...
Albert Einstein Quotes That You Need to Teach Your Kids
Yes, if the people and governments were less emotional, we could probably avoid lots of deaths. However, let's not forget this isn't a matter where you can have only one thing. Researchers can improve cancer tratament while mechanic, civil and traffic engineers can reduce accidents. I'm not sure who's more qualified to reduce shootings, but we should also look into that.
Nothing can be as biased and conservative as "trained professional judges".

Not to mention they tend to reflect the interests and prejudices of their kind and class -- not the society at large, who is supposed to be the one whose moral system and will is to be enforced in the legal/justice system.
Just curious, were you asked about your hung jury experience during the voir dire?
I'm wondering about that as well. The closely related covariant entropy bound is predicated on both the holographic principle and our current understanding of quantum gravity, so I'm not sure if this finding calls that into question or not.

There was a good HN discussion on the theoretical limits of information density a few years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6466430
With all due respect, xxHash is a decent hash function but you are comparing it against some relatively weak or slow hash functions. As was pointed out last time this came up, the Metro64 hash example I offered is simultaneously faster and higher quality than xxHash. There are hash functions that are faster than xxHash and stronger than some of the cryptographic hashes, and xxHash definitely has much more bias than even MD5.

Getting a perfect score with SMHasher is table stakes. The default settings on SMHasher are much too loose for current research; I know it well, I have hacked it extensively. A state-of-the-art non-cryptographic hash function today generally has the following properties:

- statistical quality greater than or equal to MD5, a cryptographic hash. xxHash is not close to MD5 in quality.

- faster than xxHash on large keys, and for really good hashes, memory bandwidth bound. (Metro64 is, again, faster than xxHash, though not memory bandwidth bound.)

- faster than xxHash on small keys (Metro64, to use that example, is almost 2x faster)

There are a lot of good hash functions being developed by researchers. But empirically, xxHash is nowhere near the state-of-the-art any way you slice it. It is a decent hash function but there are many functions produced by many researchers that are both faster and higher quality. It isn't personal, people can measure it for themselves.
I was going to post this same quote. It blows my mind. Not only does she think there's a reasonable chance he's innocent; she actually believes it's likely!

Uber’s API Now Lets Other Apps Add a “Ride Request Button”
Initially there was no app store or third party apps. I believe that is what transformed the mobile phone industry, and we have to frame Ballmer's criticisms in the original context. The iPhone as originally released (no extension via native apps, no price subsidization, trailing in connection speed and camera) would have failed.
I still maintain that + is a terrible operator for concatenating strings, and results in quite a few types of bugs that are pervasive in many languages (usually from trying to automatically coerce non-matching operands).
Why would you say "vicarious" doesn't make sense in that context? It IS a second-hand account.

vicarious: "experienced in the imagination through the feelings or actions of another person" - synonyms: indirect, second-hand

I think this is a great future market. It's quite unfortunate that, although the Apple watch has a pulse oximeter in it, the functionality is currently disabled. Reportedly because it would then be a medical device in the eyes of the FDA.

Good sleep tracking, just that one function, could conceivably sell millions of units.
Whose job is it to enforce the coding standards? Let that person take it up with them. That is their job, after all.

Personally, though, I would also be gently saying things like, "Dude (or Dudette), you know that's not going to pass code review, right?" Maybe I should clarify: you DO have code review, right?

Without trying to be too elitist, I would say that a programmer who codes sloppily or cryptically does not have a good philosophy of coding, and that is dangerous in the long run. That is, they don't understand the purpose of programming languages and how they should be used. Higher order languages are an abstraction that is for the benefit of the programmer, not the computer. If you don't use the language correctly, then you look like a Neanderthal. It's like going to a Chinese restaurant and pulling out a bottle of ketchup. You clearly don't get it.

If a programmer refuses to write easy-to-read, contextual code, then they will not stay employed by me for long. To me, they are not just being "clever" or "economical", but rather are demonstrating an unrefined bruteness in a profession that requires sophistication and grace. Programming is art, and they are trying to paint with a shovel.
Yes. They asked if I had served on a jury before and if the jury had reached a verdict. The battery case was the second time I served. I answered yes that I had served and no the jury did not reach a verdict. They then asked what the prior case was about - maybe since it wasn't related they didn't boot me. The third time I served it was a burglary case so I answered that yes I had served twice before, once was a hung jury and once we arrived at a verdict. No further questions.

The original price included a mandatory 2 year contract didn't it? And Apple got payments from AT&T, subsidizing the phone even at the high initial price.
Apple TV Is the Latest Step in the Disintermediation of Media
There were subsidized smartphones well before The iPhone did it. I had a T-Mobile Dash that ran Windows Phone 5 in 2006 and it only cost $150 or so with 2 year contract. Compared to the iPhone it was a joke--clunky interface stuck in the early 2000's, web browser that was barely a step up from a dumb phone, etc. The iPhone was just a better phone in all aspects.
That very well could be the case. But even if we knew the demographics of the community the sample size is too small to draw any conclusions.

> If the universe were similarly segmented, then there would be a limit to the amount of information space-time could contain.

Not really, if those "pixels" are a countable set. Is still wouldn't be continuous, but it could hold any information. Symbolic elements ("pixels", letters etc.) actually are basis of information, so it kind of implies a discrete space when information is involved.
Cyber-security in general is political. This guy is a cryptographer - so it is natural that he formulated this for his own area - but it is too narrow.

Hackers are now routinely the foot soldiers of the cyber-war of everyone against everyone - we need to think more about our own rules instead of following orders.
So the complaint now is that the money is going to where it's most needed rather than to the US specifically? This argument is sounding less like an argument for justice and fairness and more like simple jealousy.

Your duty, it seems, would be to bring some piece of Truth to the proceedings.

If they are guilty, it may help convict them, but if they are innocent, it may help exonerate them.

Regardlessly, bring Truth to the proceedings and leave your biases and opinions (valid or not) outside.

My point was that it's a poor reason for removing it from a language.

Believe it or not the concept of

x = 5

is harder to understand.

They know that = means equality, because of algebra. I have to retrain prior knowledge, and since humans rely on prior knowledge to learn new things quickly, it's more difficult.

Having to explain == or .eq or, god forbid, === takes way more time to explain than:

"x = 0". x++ adds 1 to x. So when you need to increment by one, you can do x = x + 1, or you can do x++ which is a shorter way."

Boom. Done.

Not exactly a good reason for taking it out of a programming language. That's all I was saying.

Do I care that Swift has it or not? Nope. But I just thought this particular reason was silly.
You're saying a jury will reach the wrong verdict more than 50% of the time, and a bench will reach the right verdict more than 50% of the time? I don't disagree, but are there statistics?
In a lot of the world, justice decisions are made by professional judges who have a lot of literature (laws, other decisions, and interpretation by higher courts) to guide their decisions. Which has the upside of more informed decisions (in France, it's interesting to see that professional judges seem more harsh than public jury tho.)
This Man Handed Out 520,000 Sandwiches on the Streets of Minneapolis Last Year
I largely agree, although couldn't the same argument be used by those who would enter a guilty verdict in the presence of reasonable doubt? It seems many people believe it's just to convict a person they believe to be guilty, even if it's conceivable that they aren't, and that "innocent until proven guilty" is just a meaningless rule.
On the other hand, we're supposed to be judged by a jury of our peers so, demographics aside, it's disturbing how often a person of color is convicted by a primarily white jury. We're seeing nationwide testimony, by how certain isolated events are receiving reactions that indicate that they aren't isolated, that police misconduct towards minorities is far more common that we white people would like to believe. And yet this story shows just how easy it would be for the minority jury members (both in terms of race and dissenting opinion) to cave in and allow someone to be convicted based almost entirely on the presupposition that the police did nothing wrong.
People are weak.

They bring down others to prop themselves up.

And simplify the world because it's easier.

What would be good is if some sort of forum could filter these simplistic cliches out and push people towards a more productive point of view.

In user reviews there are 35 negative reviews out of 123 ratings. Not "especially horrible" by any means either.

If you look at the comments on the metacritic "user reviews" page, there are a lot of people disappointed that the game wasn't sufficiently like the classic LucasArts point-n-click adventures.

You get the feeling that the most vocal users didn't review the game on its own merits. It ended up being very casual, which means the target audience isn't well represented by commenters on gaming web sites.
Good to see someone getting some press for a negative result.
He's right. For a local variable that's only going to survive a half dozen lines? I'd use your buddy's name over yours.

For a class member or anything with a long life, I'd use something longer and more descriptive than yours. We already know it's an MP3 from the type. The name can tell us what it's used for:

Fallacious nonsense like this:
"[Tax revenue is]squandered on bureaucracy and inefficient solutions to problems other tax dollars went to creating"

...is today's version of "down with the capitalist dogs; long live the proletariat and glorious socialism!" of eras past.

Global capitalism taken to its extreme is an ideology that promotes a massive transfer of power to private individuals and the dismantling of the state. Libertarianism, in other words. Unfortunately, utopian ideologies have a nasty habit of becoming tyrannical dystopias when put into real-world practice.

Extreme capitalist ideology paints government as cartoonishly hopeless and inefficient, maybe even evil, run by inept bunglers that steal our money and waste it on paperclips and perks for bureaucrats. The solution, they say, is let private for-profit business take over and watch efficiency skyrocket and costs plummet. Sounds wonderful...except it's a hopelessly naive utopian fantasy (or, depending on your outlook, a scam to transfer even more power and wealth to the world's billionaires).

My own view is that unfettered capitalism taken to its logical conclusion will result in a feudal society...or violent revolution.
I think this would be a very good thing.
