Yeah, Toronto is much better than most North American cities, but it's not perfect by any means, at least if one is to believe r/toronto. :)

Regarding car ownership, yes, you can always tax car registrations and gasoline way higher and spend the extra money to add more frequent service, retrofit car lanes into bus-only lanes/streets, add bike lanes, and lower fares.
Same designer made the Xbox controller as the Steam one.

Lightness was a design goal not a shortfall for the team.

Reasoning was that VR is the future, the less fatigue the better.
I've had them since v.1. They're the best photo filters by far. Very usable.
You're right, the failure mode for self-driving cars at high speeds is catastrophic, but that's no different from many safe technologies. And the bar here is pretty low. You'd have to really screw up when designing the system for it to be even remotely as dangerous as human drivers. If everyone switched to self-driving cars, serious car accidents would probably become something you hear about in the news, not something that's happened to many of your friends.
It works fine for stuff like Civ and XCOM. Part of it is the experience though. XCOM is pretty easy to watch and doesn't have many complicated menus (there are menues, but they aren't too bad). It's probably a good fit! Civ is similar.

Cities Skylines has tons of menus, sliders, charts, tiny checkboxes, small details to attend to and is generally uninteresting for onlookers most of the time. Even if you're just being creative without all the micromanaging, a controller still feels more like an inferior tool that stands in the way of your designs. It's just not comfortable to sit back, relax and build the perfect city. That game is much better suited to play alone at your desk with a mouse and keyboard.

Edit: sorry wrong person, but it still works as a response, so I'm leaving it. I've been awake too long.
I went to the Disrupt thing as a volunteer. It's not bad value if you pay nothing and you still get to chat to people.

hmm i signed up only to find out about this.
Thanks, this is definitely something that would be possible.

> I think the main hurdle would be actually doing the editing because of how time consuming it is. Perhaps the edit lists could be sold, and the after market editors could get paid.

That's exactly what was envisaged. This is just an open format. There could be (commercial) platforms or markets that offer complete filter lists. You don't have to do it yourself. Even more than that, you shouldn't do everything yourself. This can be a community effort, where you contribute only small parts.

> I wouldn't want to get into the mess of distributing copyrighted content, so I was thinking of using the seek mechanism built into video players.

This is what this project is about. You don't have to distribute source material. You have to distribute the filter lists only. The format can be "transpiled" to popular playlist formats that make use of the seek mechanisms.

> In the naive implementation of this scenario, time would have to be very well synchronized between source materials.

This is built-in. You may take a look at the converter/transpiler tool.
It would nice for packages to include other packages in it...
Thanks for pointing this out. The whole point of this project using timecodes is to make everything copyright-friendly and safe to use.
Not using it without ach verification
To clarify my position here, I take offense at an organization, such as the MPAA, deciding what society should consider violent, sexual, etc. This is a form of censorship. If you don't think so you should read up on the continuing debate around our movie rating systems. Many people blindly follow the guidance of the censor to the detriment of a freethinking society.

Regarding "freedom" as used in the context of this project. Yes, in some scenarios I may have the freedom not to use this filter but it could easily be abused. I can see this system being used to censor films in schools or at public events where the viewers don't have a choice. Furthermore, the artists creating movies are not provided the freedom to opt out of this labeling system. It is applied potentially against their will.
Apparently they can push FBI around like it's a little baby. The list of entities who can do that is pretty short...
I've heard that from some other people too. But look at the CFRG curve selection debate. There were very few appeals to Bernsteininess in that debate; it was pretty rigorous. To the extent DJB's brand played a part, it seemed to be a liability.
Perhaps it would be more practical to use biological components to accelerate software...
A lot of police militarization, at least before 9/11, was driven by Drug War mythology. Now there's a badder bogie man.
Pretty silly not having to put a physical key in before starting a care alone driving it. It only needs to be pushed into a slot with electrical connections to interrogate the key.
> ...concatenate hashes...

Bad idea, using 10 128-bit hash functions instead of a single 1280-bit hash function. Instead of a single post hash view of the hidden data - you've given an attacker 10 different perspectives. Instead of studying and securing one function - you now have to secure 10 functions and study their interaction in 10 dimensions... If 1 in 10 of your functions is broken, the damage isn't limited to a 10% reduction in keyspace.

> ...start encrypting with the best implemented ciphers...

If that is known up front then the whole exercise is pointless. You can't know that because you can't see into the future.
Well, everything for which you pay nothing is "not bad value."
This is not at all how proposed quantum computer or algorithms work. It's a cute experiment but it's more anthropic than quantum.
I've met him (I'm in Chicago). I like him. But he is not the only cryptographer with that reputation. Phil Rogaway has a similar reputation, and went as far as to put a no-military-use patent on OCB.
Have you calculated how much you're actually spending per day?

I roughly calculated my expenses once.

$32k car $8k tax/license + loan interest up to point I paid it off = $50k
$200 gas a month for 6 years = $14400
$4k renew service plan
$1200 a year car ins $7200
2 sets of tires at $1k each = $2k

100k miles on it at 6 years

So $50k+14.4k+4k+7.2k+2k = $77.6k / 100k miles = 0.77 cents per mile.

My commute was 40miles each way or $61 PER DAY!!! That's a TON more than public transportation. That price will slowly go down the longer I keep the car but still, $61 per day is a lot of money. At 20days month that's $1220 a month. That's far more than 2 people's monthly transportation passes.

How to Convert Video to TV Box with DVDFab
Poe's law for programming culture extremists
There is another aspect that is worth considering: when someone is doing something particularly "stupid", this "stupidity" often isn't seen by the actor. Their self analysis can sometimes correct itself over time, but the usual biases can interfere. The point is it is far too easy to fall into really bad habits while blind to just how bad everyone else sees those habits.

While I'm speaking about a somewhat more general pattern of behavior, a very closely related phenomena is the "normalization of deviance"[1].

Part of the problem is that without an outside assessment, the actor isn't really working with accurate information. Criticism can be a way of giving that data. Quality "constructive criticism" is great, but the message is sometimes ignored or avoided. In those cases, a harsher criticism - and possibly a bit insulting - is necessary to convey both the severity of the situation and to get the recipients attention. This is where some of what you cal "'get off my lawn' yelling" is about. Sometimes we've seen these mistakes before, and we've tried being patient and nice; when that didn't work, the occasional "get off my lawn" may be appropriate. As others have said, this how a community self-corrects; when someone is being "stupid", they need to know that. They certainly aren't going to change without this necessary information.

Now I'll certainly agree that there is a very fine line here, and as long as fallible humans are involved mistakes will be made. I've certainly made mistakes in this area in the past. However, avoiding problems is not the answer, as unfixed small problems tend to become larger problems in the future.

To the point! Thank you!

Airplane versions are just another examples where such filtering is employed already and could benefit from an open format. Just like censored TV versions.

Custom edits are possible, and encouraged, as well.

And, as you said, nobody is required to use it. I really didn't expect these accusations of immorality. Those must be misunderstandings, because one can objectively say that this is not immoral in any way.
The author of this post is a cryptographer. The people who select ciphers for products are almost invariably not cryptographers. The idea that DJB crypto is selected simply because it is "clearly superior in every way" seems inaccurate.

In fact, I think it's comments like these that set people like Guttman off. If you pay enough attention to the people who select but don't design ciphers --- ie, non-cryptographer engineers --- you're starting to hear more and more of a drumbeat of "do whatever DJB says"; if you push those people to explain those decisions, you don't usually get good answers.
The assumption that the censor will just do the right thing is where the real danger lies. People are likely down voting you because they think it's ridiculous to think that a shark in Finding Nemo would be classified as high severity violence. Still you have hit upon the point but perhaps with an extreme example.
Ah, that makes sense: "1st party" as opposed to "3rd party". This doesn't seem like an option for "indie" dev shops.
If you look at backdoored algorithms, there are red flags all over the place. A hallmark of DJB algorithms is that they use minimal constants that satisfy publicly declared constraints. If you look at the spec for DUAL_EC_DRBG, the backdoored rng standard, the first thing that you notice is that the constants have no explanation for how they were derived, and that they are large enough to hide a cryptographic key in.

If DJB releases a crypto algorithm with huge glaringly unexplained constants, you'd better believe people will ask questions. I don't think it's possible to both use "nothing up your sleeve numbers"[1] and to backdoor an algorithm. You'd likely need the computing power needed to brute force the EC in the first place in order to do it.

Honest question: can't you just get a high-quality digital piano and use headphones?
I think people are over-thinking this offering a little too much. People who are asking if the company will resist a subpoena, or if all customer data will be irreversibly encrypted, are expecting too much.

The main purposes of this product are to be able to mask your marketing data (name, address, phone) to businesses, and to mitigate damage in the event of a data breach (any stolen card numbers are useless).

It's not going to prevent a government entity from subpoena'ing your records and finding out what you've bought. Also, if you're buying anything that needs to be, you know, shipped or emailed to you, you're kinda going to have to give a valid address. Under the default settings, they also include the merchant information in the feed back to your bank, so your bank still gets all of the info on where you're shopping and what you're buying.

Finally, I am very skeptical of their claim about walking away from subscriptions and trials. Sure, in theory, you make it much harder for vendors to track you down, but by law, you're agreeing to pay for the company's services when you accept their agreement, and if they do bother to subpoena your information and come after you, if they find out that you presented them with a fraudulent name, phone number and address, I don't expect that would go well for you in court.
They give you a hidden credit line
If anyone read this line: "And that is this: our studio has not yet seen a single dollar from sales." and also wondered what they're talking about, this excerpt from the Wikipedia article on their game [1] might help:

"Razer Inc., who acquired the Ouya platform and property in 2015, stated that all revenue from sales of That Dragon, Cancer on Ouya would be donated to the Morgan Adams Foundation and Family House SF, two charities that had assisted the Greens' during Joel's treatment in San Francisco."

You're significantly devaluing the streamer's contribution. The streamers who make money have spent years cultivating a following. That network effect is hard to value, but I'm pretty sure 0 isn't quite right.
>No card issuer is going to verify a transaction of any significant value without AVS

irl, Card acquirers do verify transactions without AVS, but they charge higher provided the merchant can demonstrate pre-transaction fraud mitigation

>AVS dropped fraud rates on card-not-present transactions dramatically, and it'd skyrocket without it.

AVS was less than moderately effective 6-7 years back, but it's less effective now, almost not at all. Most "researchers" have the card dumps with the addresses already so AVS does nothing to decrease the attack surface. Pre-transaction approval risk mitigation and post transaction fraud review is the only thing that works.
For reference, the Phoenix light rail timeline:

I think it's just the opposite - because djb is so well known, and his designs are frequently so tight, people will be jumping at the chance to prove a flaw in anything he does from now on.
It's a fair comparison and one I make often. Example: My friends and I could take public transport 10 miles. It might cost $5 per person. For four people that's $20. $20 might pay for a cab for all four of us.

Same with planes. I could fly or drive from LA to Vegas. Flying is $240 per person friday to sunday. 4 people = $960. 1 car carrying 4 people will be a lot less even if I rent it.
I use docker, specifically docker-compose to do just that. So far it's 7 containers spread across 5 code bases all brought up with one command, `docker-compose up`.

The django quickstart guide is a good starting point for wrapping your head around it,

It's funny that you would say this.

* During the recent CFRG curve selection debacle, Microsoft pushed for a noncompatible variant to Curve25519 (now called "PinkBikeShed") on the basis of it having minimal parameters.

* One of DJB's more notorious research papers, BADA55, is about the extent to which reliance on "easily explained math constants" is not actually safe.

Also: the problem with Dual_EC is that it's a public key RNG. It's a construction that has no reason to exist. The reason you don't have to worry about DJB's (or Rogaway's or Shay Gueron's or whatever) documents having the Dual_EC problem is that none of them are going to propose a public key RNG.
$400 USD is equal to 26,766.18 Indian rupees. Adjusting for purchasing power parity[1], that will buy as much as $1,526 in the US, so her yearly salary is equivalent to just over $18,000. Which is still surprisingly low.

Just quietly with those side effects and the fact that you didn't stop suggests you might want to consider whether you have a problem from all the angles. Consider all the silly angles as well.

I have a strong feeling much of that is corruption and/or over charging. I have no proof but AFAICT Singapore and Tokyo have no trouble building new lines quickly and for far less money and I suspect they both do a better job.
Electric trains are really efficient. I don't have the numbers in front of me but the per-passenger-mile cost is almost certainly lower than Uber.
Interest doesn't equate to profit if they have no other avenue to experience the "game". There are so many ways to entertain oneself that people could simply move onto something else readily available without paying for That Dragon, Cancer.
1. The political compass is oversimplified and not taken seriously by political scientists
2. This has nothing to do with his argument. In the US, surveillance is largely the product of moral panics, primarily 1. The red scare 2. The race scare 3. The drug scare, which itself is really just a synthesis of 1 and 2; the drug war was essentially invented to attack black and Latino communities as well as anti government "subversives." Maybe that's not true in EVERY state that has used mass surveillance, but it is true in the specific case of the US.
Thanks for your thoughts, but I feel many of you are way too focused on the "big picture" and arguing about moral and ethical issues. Don't always try to make philosophic arguments about what should be and what shouldn't be. This is just a tool, a utility, something pragmatic, for use in
practice. Something to help people, creating value by doing what they wish for.

Somebody is always the one who shapes what you (or your children) see. If you watch uncensored movies, it's (mainly) the director who decides. If you apply some selected filters, it's you who decides and shapes the movie. This is not inherently bad. And not all scenes contribute to the development of characters and story. Some are just for shock value, etc.

I didn't get the impression from that article that "replace the native implementation with a JavaScript implementation for better performance" was the goal at all. Rather, the goal seems to be "move away from a situation where one holdout browser (traditionally IE, more recently Safari/iOS) could scupper a new feature completely, and toward one where holdouts are just slower if they don't support that feature natively". There have been lots of examples of that strategy working - jQuery/QSA, asm.js etc.

Is that a misleading impression? Does Houdini have another agenda not covered by the article?

If you choose to use this filter you are choosing to watch censored movies.

If we have a censored version of Huckleberry Fin and a non-censored version, you could say I have a choice of which to read but it is still censorship and we still live in a world where books are censored.

I used to work there, not very long ago. When the last HN thread happened where someone mentioned PTSD from Tony's yelling, I was thinking to myself 'wow that's stretching it'. A day later I realized I had been in the same boat all along, with mini-Tony's on my team (boy were they worshipped as stars..), and the only thing that had prevented me from accepting that PTSD remark was association as I still worked there. I quit soon after and while I have a new job with a nice team, it has taken quite a bit of therapy to get over the scars from micromanagement, f-bomb language and other artefacts.

The bridge toll alone going from Seattle to Redmond and back is ~$8\day.

LA holds no lessons, since it has some of the most dysfunctional public transit of any major city. Want to go from Venice to West LA? The blue buses run fairly frequently, although you'll never be able to predict their schedule, since they have to fight LA traffic. Want to go from Venice to downtown, Hollywood, or the SFV? Sorry, no single bus line serves all those areas, so you need to ride one line as far as you can, then walk a bit to pick up another.

Sadly, I agree that the future does look like sitting still in a sea of on-demand four-wheeled robots on the 405.

There is one example in the repository. To get this working, all you need is some source material that VLC media player or MPlayer can play back. That should be possible with video files, DVDs, Blu-rays, but, unfortunately, perhaps not with streaming providers.

After reading "Google parent Alphabet ushers in 'fiscal discipline era'"[1], it's likely that Google/Alphabet will effectively be out of robotics shortly, after trashing most of the R&D startups in the field. Nobody they acquired is 2 years from making big bucks. Workers will be, as previously threatened, reallocated to other parts of the business. Probably related to ads; that's still 94% of revenue.

This is discouraging. It's the acquire-trash-dump thing Paul Allen was notorious for.

This is one of those things that exists in a continuous feedback loop. China is spying on us, so we have to spy on them; the US is spying on us so we have to spy on them.

Thus the digital cold war continues. It's no wonder that our government wants more control over tech and encryption. China has control over their companies and a firewall around the whole country.
