I agree with you that everyone has some level of bias, but we disagree on to what degree people are biased. Race is a very complex issue in American society. It permeates everything: politics, economics, academia. And it's visually obvious. The evidence is pretty clear to me (all the statistics related to how racial judgments are made, how stunningly often resumes get rejected if they have names that sound like they belong to certain racial groups), that race plays a very large role in people's snap judgments of others.
Limited scope... this is local.

I use to implement a --trial in my shell scripts, which covers reporting of ALL operations (local and remote).

Anyway, this is a nice discover and nice hack.
> If you have a secure enclave within the device, then any hardware which has a direct connection to that secure enclave must be authenticated.

Consider reading the description of iOS security features linked somewhere in this thread.

Because what you are describing is a disaster, not security. If some off-chip sensor had access to fingerprint data or crypto keys, anybody capable of installing such chip would also be able to simply dump all the data himself in the comfort of his lab.

Note: I'm the author of a similar tool.

About 2 years ago I wrote Taniger which is a tool that does the same thing but without having to set a preset password for all chats (each message has its own encryption key).

What I found out during these 2 years is that facebook changes it's chat HTML from time to time making the encryption "not work" as it cannot detect the encrypted text. I believe this is what happened with crypter - but I can't be 100% sure as I don't have time today to check if that's the case (I tried installing it but I got an error message when I tried to set its password).

P.S.
The Taniger site is currently offline as I'm re-writing it to support PGP encryption, but you can see a demo at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU57xQcAcd0 and get the code at https://github.com/sadreck/taniger

No, this is a great article, because it shows that America is good and China is bad. Dupont are the innocent party here, they've been wronged, and we should pity them. Maybe we should start a kickstarter to try to raise some money for them?

I guess your point being that these aren't novel techniques?

The author sure didn't invent them, but they aren't widespread enough yet. In fact e.g. Rails puts you in the opposite mindset (which is OK at early stages).
It's unclear whether this is a hoax or not. Anrell -- Pepsi's ad agency at the time -- refused comment. Certainly parts of the document are straight (even if they're recreated). The Pepsi circle does echo a smile, and when the off-kilter smile logo was unveiled, it was unveiled with each product getting it's own customized logo. See the various 2008 - 2010 product pages on http://logos.wikia.com/wiki/Pepsi

Hacker news is too often obsessed with get rich quick schemes, and devising new ways to rip people off. It's nice to hear a story about people who just wants to write good, useful software, and release it to the public domain.

This is the same thinking that put hundreds of thousands of Japanese Americans in concentration camps.
If you're referencing GH with that sexual harassment lawsuit comment, it fizzled, and from the outside, it seemed like it wasn't anything sketchy, just that the accuser's work wasn't very good and people didn't treat her with kid gloves. The only inappropriate thing was one of the founder's wives trying to manipulate her, but that doesn't sell as well.

The philosophic burden of proof is on you as you're making a statement counter to user "audessuscest"'s claim that meritocracy is important and the ideal is to make solely skill-based hires.
I think you need to ask your self how you'll market it. adwords? create a landing page with a free trial link to a wuffoo form to collect lead info. on the thank you page mention your collecting names for beta. then do the math and see if its worth it. or create a landing page and start blogging to get traffic. another option would be to partner with website creators and or hosting providers and work out a partnership to split the profits.
> what would happen if China and the US ever declared war on each other?

Do you realize how racist you sound? You sound the same as the people who would put Japanese-Americans in internment camps but not German-Americans or Italian-Americans.
Writing to the console is good if you have a console, and don't need to stop the program and examine the state of memory, files, processes immediately before the problem occurs. Otherwise it's a big fail.

Are we supposed to believe that some people can understand unix, c++ etc but cannot learn/keep a cheatsheet handy so they can employ the ~10 commands needed to use gdb fruitfully?
Do bear in mind that DuPont got started with TiO2 by taking a patented process and just using it, screwing the Australian license holders.

http://importpython.com/newsletter/ is one I enjoy reading. Specially the open source projects they feature every week have been helpful to my development/work.
For youtube on FiOS specifically, you can change your dns servers away from verizon's and it'll start going a lot faster. I can't find the link right now, but using their dns servers points you to cdn/caching nodes hosted by verizon, which are generally massively over saturated. If you switch to google's public dns or another public dns service (or run your own resolver if you're a masochist like me) you usually end up hitting edge nodes that aren't completely saturated and you get far far better speeds.
The fact remains that when we think of debugging tools we tend to build monolithic debugging environments rather than unix-style primitives that do one thing well. Thinking deeply about when prints work best and how we can ameliorate their drawbacks is a fertile place to change this. A couple of concrete ideas:

a) For a while now, I've experimented with editor macros to comment/uncomment code that insert a special marker after the comment leader (like say //? for C++ or Java) that allows me to programmatically distinguish real comments from commented-out code. An immediate benefit is that I can select large ranges of text and enable/disable prints without messing up interspersed prose. A more subtle benefit is that it lets me leave prints in version control for weeks of time and watch which prints I use most often when debugging. I've also experimented with a couple of subsidiary experiments: a1) highlighting //? comments differently (much less saliently) than real comments, so they don't bother me as much in my editor, a2) having my comment macro set/increment a per-line counter which provides even more fine-grained telemetry about how my codebase is used. It's illuminating to save all the prints you made while debugging a problem that ends up being just a one-line fix. Even if you end up deleting all the prints immediately in the next commit. And if you think it makes merging harder, well that's just a task for another simple unix-like tool: to filter out commented-code before merging, and add it back in afterward.

b) A big problem if you do a lot of printing is to find the right prints that help you debug your problem now. Print too much and it becomes easy to get lost in all the verbiage. I've tried battling this problem with a 'zooming editor' which reads a potentially huge log but displays only stuff at the highest level of abstraction, letting the user selectively click on lines to expand more and more detail around them. I can even bring up this zooming editor automatically when my program dies in debug mode: http://akkartik.github.io/mu/html/090trace_browser.cc.html [1] This is an incredibly useful tool, because it turns a two-sided problem into a one-sided one; instead of having to walk the tightrope between too much logging and too little I can just log everything and poke at it in my leisure.

Not all these ideas are good. I gave up on a2) above after a few months, for example. But there's lots of room for questioning conventional wisdom and trying new things.

For the card type which has your name, in the early days, probably 6, 7 years ago, the national "information commisioner" (office which oversees personal information use in companies/government) carried out an audit of the system. Turns out noone thought of anonymizing the trips, and they were forced to update the system soon after, to strip all personal info out of trip data.

As the previous commenter mentioned, there's also a card type which requires no personal info, and you can load it up with cash.
For tech I'm honestly trying to keep up less, I want more time in my life to read shitty fiction etc (and you know, spend time with humans I guess); I've spent the better part of a 15 years keeping up _too_ much IMO.

On nothing to do with tech: I'm desperately trying to find something that covers general world news without too much of a US slant, in a nice concise way. Next Draft (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) is pretty good, but is very US heavy.

When I trialled subscribing to The Economist their Espresso app-- which is essentially a daily curated newsletter-- was pretty decent, so if you sub to them you should definitely check it out.

These days I'm trying the qz daily digest, which I think is working out OK: they talk about what to expect in the next day, what happened while you were asleep etc. If anyone has any better suggestions I'd love to hear them: I like how the economist actually talks about other parts of the world apart from the states, but I don't love it enough to pay their standard sub rate.

In terms of general flowery writing I get emails from Medium based on what I've read, emails from Pocket based on what I read, and longform.org's newsletter. Depending on how snowed under I feel at any given time I either just delete them without opening them, of potentially skim them to see if anything is interesting.

Yes I agree with you. And I'm not a fan of affirmative action. I'm just seeing a stunning number of people in this thread who are in denial that race is even an issue at all, or who think the best course of action is to stop talking about it.
How exactly am I racist? I'm just repeating what they said. If they had to choose sides, they wouldn't know who to choose (because on the one hand they're Chinese, while at the same time they identify with US culture). It wasn't committed, but it is the contemplation of treason which is insane since the only given rationale was their race. At least with mainland Chinese they can logically point out that they were born and raised there.

> You sound the same as the people who would put Japanese-Americans in internment camps but not German-Americans or Italian-Americans.

Considering I'm also of Chinese descent, I obviously don't want that. I guess you didn't read my entire comment, since I also mention countries besides China? You're making a really strong and ridiculous assumption about me with a really shitty accusation. It's even more annoying when I've proposed ending dual citizenship as the solution. Please read comments fully before responding.
How would ending dual citizenship lead to internment camps? Did you even fully read my comment?
British Airways is notorious for having an unfavorably skewed ticket price to YQ surcharge ratio.

Part of the reason they do this is because it allows them to book revenue for "free" award tickets: since your miles only cover the ticket component of the package and none of the fuel surchages, they can wring money from passengers who would otherwise be dead weight on the balance sheet.

I recently booked an award ticket on BA metal (I know, mistake -- but it was an emergency) that cost me something like $500 in fuel surcharges and assorted taxes. As it turns out, in airline speak free doesn't actually mean free.

In the case of Black poverty in the US there are probably better places to look first than the issue of single parent households.

The main reason for the high poverty rates among the black population is pretty well understood. Firstly, the legacy of slavery and legally mandated segregation that amounts to 300 years of outright state sanctioned oppression. Secondly, historical and ongoing discrimination in employment and educational opportunities, discrimination over housing, discrimination over the availability of credit with good terms, and institutional discrimination in the criminal justice system and beyond.

After that you might then say something about how single parent households are typically less stable than two parent households, and the rate of single parent households is higher than the norm among black households. By this point though you might need to re-think the direction of causation.

The kind of analysis you put forward can easily start looking like its saying that poverty among black people is a moral failing of black people, rather than a moral failing of society. The latter is where most, but of course not all (black people are individuals with moral agency as well of course!), of the blame lies.

Example: The crack cocaine epidemic hit black communities quite hard, and although there are individual moral failing that lead to addiction and further societal breakdown (single parent households, highschool dropout rates etc...), the vulnerability of black populations due to historic systematic oppression played a large role in making those individual moral failings much more likely.

Will do - there was about a one week gap between the flight and the first symptoms. So, I'd say the flight likely accelerated something, if it wasn't the direct cause. However, I also think that my sitting for very long periods of time was also a contributing factor regardless (I should add in that the chair I have been using recently is a little long in the base and sometimes cuts off my circulation slightly)
Nearly all of the 'predictions' outlined in the article are present in Stand on Zanzibar which was first published in 1968.
For my fellow hypochondriacs, DVT like symptoms in the leg can also be caused by issues with the glutes or piriformis (piriformis syndrome).

Of course, I'm not saying to be not worried because I certainly was freaking out when I googled my DVT-like symptoms. However, many symptoms tends to lead you the the scariest medical conditions that have those symptoms.

Nonetheless, eat better and move your body more often.
That's not the argument, granted it's very subtle and hard to see.

The argument is "race as used in the U.S. is a social construct that is incorrectly correlated with some physical traits. So lets avoid bringing up someone's race when trying to explain their behavior and/or intentions."

Just because someone has dark skin doesn't automatically mean they are "black" because black is more of a cultural thing than a race. It's incorrectly attributed as a race in the U.S., and in many cases it does coincide, so someone that looks black is probably black, but not everyone. This is more so the case with white people. The white label is a huge generalization on many sub-cultures and races, not just one. So it is inefficient to try and explain behavior with these labels that are incorrectly seen as race.

To further expand, yes there is a problem with racist people, but what's the point of saying they are "white" racist people? They're just racist. No need to be further promote the same mis-categorization that racist people love to use. Racist people are ignorant and/or crazy, and we can continue analyzing them and fighting without mentioning anyone's race.
Exactly this. Fuel costs for airlines aren't reflected in the oil price today, but of the oil price covered by their hedging contracts. Hedging, as you obviously know is a tactic that has the goal of making fuel prices 'flat.' Gary Kelly architected Southwest's fuel hedging strategy and pioneered the practice in airlines; it was the reason Southwest was profitable during the $120 per barrel era. You can bet airlines are loading up now on futures contracts.

My point is that fuel surcharges and costs today don't reflect the price paid at the pump.
Of course, but I meant remote repo code loss.

I actually had this happen once when I was running a small filesystem based git server. Users could login with normal shell sessions with their public key, and repo permissions were handled with the unix permissions system. Some user with a funky git UI client for windows actually deleted a repo completely from the server.

It wasn't much of an issue because of local copies, but we moved to git-shell right after that, and to gitlab not long after when then team grew beyond a handful of people.
There's a lot and that's why seeing a doctor is so very important. I am actually having an anxiety attack right now after reading your post. You didn't cause it :) but it certainly did stir up some stuff with my anxiety.

For an anxiety sufferer like ourselves. It can be very hard. I have numbness in my left hand, an odd pain in my back and shortness of breadth. This could be a lot of things. Things I'd rather everybody not mention because I know them well. But if I went to the ER every time these things popped up well at one time in my life I'd live there. The probability suggests that I am fine. The probability suggests that after thousands of trials similar to this of which I ended up fine, I will likely be fine here. There's a chance I will not be but it's a chance I need to take.

Wish you the best :)
The theory is that if you phase out a given transfer payment at, say, $1000 per month, that reduces the incentive to earn more than $1000 per month. There's some evidence to suggest that's already the case with existing means tested transfer payments (such as unemployment coverage).

So instead of phasing out transfer payments at the low end, you reduce bureaucracy by introducing a universal payment, and balance it out at the high end with progressive taxes.

Someone who chooses to work and earns an additional $20,000 per year would still see a real benefit from their universal payment.

Someone who chooses to work and earns an additional $200,000 per year would be taxed such that their universal payment is essentially zero.
I wonder how WN is doing now that oil is at $20 a barrel...

Hedges cut both ways.
You don't actually get PTRACE_SYSCALL on OS X, so you need to play with dtrace or dynamic recompilation to get this kind of tool.
Care to cite any hard evidence that the document was a hoax? Certainly, some pages of the document are vaguely legitimate explorations in design history, whereas others are ludicrous to the point of satire.
While this looks like a nice idea on paper, I would not recommend to use the current implementation of 'maybe' on a system that hosts valuable data.

The tool seems to work by intercepting individual "blacklisted" system calls and then - instead of executing them - returning a nonsense value.

The issue is that this breaks every single POSIX spec and will therefore break any program that does more than a few trivial IO operations and relies on those operations to behave as specified.

So it might work for a simple demo case where a small script only does a single file modification and never checks the results, but for any serious program (think a database, a complex on-disk format or really anything that does network IO) this will lead to corruption and undefined behaviour as system calls will return erroneous success values or invalid file descriptors.

I think to actually make this work one would have to emulate the system calls and make sure everything stays POSIX compliant. Doing this correctly for calls like mmap might get tricky though (and won't be possible from within a python runtime). And even then it isn't obvious how something like network IO would be handled.
Some airlines actually apply those 'free' ticket taxes as if the ticket were a full, unrestricted ticket -- which award tickets are not.

I've had good luck with United though. A miles ticket from Europe to the US generally costs me between $90-$100 in fees. Not too bad considering the same one way might cost $1000-$2000.

British Airways seems to operate like British airports: a constant attempt to scrape every last cent (and goodwill) from passengers.

It may be possible. How long was the flight? IT just seems unlikely since I have had doctors ask me have you flown in the last 24 hours.
I work at DeepSense, and with these guys, but I didn't participate in this team. I was shocked as well; and now I try to learn from them as much as possible. :)
> but better safe than sorry. :)

While I agree that as a culture we need to prioritize our health a lot more, it's a dangerous attitude to claim that "it's better to be safe than sorry". Doing things out of fear and ignorance is not better than making well-educated decisions. In all fairness, there is plenty of evidence to support that apes (that's us) are not meant to sit all day.
