1. Why do you think it is controversial? People like to drive fast cars, people even like to watch others drive fast cars. Some like manual transmissions. I do think recreational driving is thing, not necessarily commuting.

2. I'm not arguing humans are better at following rules, I'm arguing we could have safer roads tomorrow if we were interested and would actually enforcing traffic laws. I think driving is a much harder problem than go, so saying we can solve a simpler problem does not imply we can solve the hard one.

3. Car pooling and shuttle services are nothing new and it is not an alternative to ownership, it is more part of the on demand transportation toolchain. Parallelism still remains a problem with self driving cars.
>Professional writers aren’t ad-financed.

Wrong.

While some outlets enjoy full state support or sufficient subscription revenue to not need advertisements, the VAST majority of publications get a significant portion of their revenue (which is the used to pay their staff writers and freelance contributors) from ads. Better known examples of such publications include: The New York Times, Wired, The Atlantic.

In Norway, where I live, Aftenposten was given access to the Panama Papers for analysis and publication. Aftenposten is partially subsidized by the Norwegian government, but also dependent on ad revenue to survive.
Important bit to note here: the two year timeline is probably only feasible for low end devices, like the MacBook and MBA.

Towards the higher end, ARM can't hope to field anything in that timeline to compete with even todays i5 or i7s (or corresponding Xeons). Some people do use this kind of CPU power.
No, very similar conceptually, but totally different implementations.
That's a great list of things that poor people, people with families, people with busy lives for any reason can't do. You need to first establish yourself as an expert, for free, with all of your free time.

Regardless, this is all possible right now. "if content was free"? Content can be free, there's lots of it. Removing every way for non-experts to make money would only hurt people, it wouldn't help anyone. It wouldn't make it any easier to publish stuff for free.
No idea. I haven't read the source code of any serious, production GC. I've only written toy ones.
Not surprised. They're really pushing their new online lotto options and such recently, may as well make those advertising dollars work extra hard by simultaneously censoring the competition.
Then you are missing the point he is making. LEON is a GPL implementation of SPARCv8 which you can download and use in an FPGA, tape out your own ASIC or buy one of the existing SoCs built with it (might not be that easy...). In other words, more open than the alternatives listed.
I can imagine a much scarier scenario...

You use whatever app to summon a car. You give it a destination, and instead, the car makes a detour to the local police station. the address you entered is in a higher crime rate locality, and therefore the car owner approved further "screening". So the car goes to the local police station for a routine search of the car (authorized by car owner) and a dog search of you...

That kind of future is one I am worried about.
Out of curiosity could you give a couple examples?
That's a reasonable position, but that's not what the argument for cancelling the conference was.

The argument was that the speaker's presence would threaten the "physical and emotional safety of its attendees and speakers." This appears to be completely unsupported by the facts.
Ask HN: What does AI mean for you?
We had a discussion with workmates about the term "Artificial Intelligence" and in a strange manner, every person had an different understanding about it. For some people the AI was a general system, which uses machine learning and for others it was more like a robot which can beat human intelligent. Seems like now days everything is AI
The Best Coding Interview I ever took
I think what you will end up with then is Java? It works everywhere and has features for everything and has support for almost all programming language concepts/paradigms or comes very close. We probably just need to fine-tune/minimize Java to arrive at the final perfect language :-).
That is true however it is a very far cry from adequate unbiased reporting. We get lengthy pieces on the "usual suspects" but a mere token gesture for the elite of other countries.
Well, we all know that Russia and far-right parties are above reproach and discussion. You come across as a shill for rich people who don't like having their private tax avoidance information shared. The news articles had plenty of liberal leaders with embarrassing information leaked, such as the PM of Iceland - so your claim that this is aimed against those you are trying to protect is obviously wrong.
Ah so these circuits are useful because if you're trying to construct cell organelles you need to be able to trigger release different proteins at different stages of development?

Is any of that protein folding stuff useful for this?
The problem is that the amount of "good money" a consumer has to spend to get slightly better service is a lot. But for a business traveler with an expense account it is not a lot and can be expensed.
Well nothing beats testing something out better than on the physical device it's designed for.
Ultimately the problem with most crowdfunded hardware products can be summed up here:

>> Coolest wasn't able to manufacture the exact cooler in the promo videos.

>> "The Coolest Cooler in that video was a one-of a kind prototype," Grepper said. "Ultimately it's not a scalable design – it's an industrial design."

>> The proof-of-concept prototype cost him $15,000 to make, he said.

>> Grepper had no idea how much each cooler would cost to manufacture.

>> "At the early stages, you simply can't get that information," he said.

A model != a DFMA'd product.

There's tooling costs (I suspect the Coolest Cooler has several hundreds of thousands of dollars in tooling needs), there's supply chain, etc.

This takes time, testing, dozens of iterations, etc.

He sold a product he didn't understand the real cost of. Not maliciously but because he was naive and didn't understand the process.

Knowing what your true landed BOM costs are can take over a year of modeling, making production samples, negotiating with manufacturers and suppliers, etc. Even then you wont really know the cost until you enter volume manufacturing since there's scrap rate and QA issues you run into.
I feel like 2 seconds in an ide would have saved readability quite a bit. A simple automated cleanup would have helped worlds.
There are ways of doing it invisibly. Change timestamps in very subtle ways,
Embed data in lossy media formats, etc.

If the code says "phone home if anywhere on the screen you see one of the following email addresses" then it won't show up in a normal security audit, unless you email one of those people during the audit. All the NSA has to do is make the phoning home rare enough that it's probabilisticly unlikely to be observed.

I'm not against IoT devices but when it requires an external service to work at all I put my foot down. I looked at devices like Nest but decided against it.

My Synology NAS has some cloud like services but it does not require any external services to work. Just the way IoT should be.

That makes it sound like their primary concern is keeping control of the devices. In reality I think it's just laziness. We all know how much easier it is to support code running on a server than to support code running on hardware sitting on somebody's dusty garage shelf with no internet connection.

Big fan of Todd and his work. This looks rad. Thanks man.
I don't know why or how on earth this costs so much to make.

* Speaker? $5 for something decent enough to work. Find AmazonBasics supplier, crank that up to $10.

* Blender? I can buy a "good" blender from Hamilton Beach for $20.

* Plastic parts? I don't know. Can't be that much, can it?

* Power? $20 will get you a really nice battery. Just put in a power brick battery thingy.

* Bottle opener? $4 will get you the nicest one from China, and it's probably coated in diamonds.

not sure about the other versions but working with Java, Lambda is was quite a terrible experience (at least if you needed to include a bunch of jars for your work).
Define "we". We on HN? We, the human race?

For the human race: Safe water, war, climate change, and better access to space are probably on the list. The insane US political climate might be up there, too.

For us on HN: Anything that you can do to make a dent in any of the above problems. Also, internet security is completely broken and needs a total re-think and re-do. We need safe access to the world's information for the several billion people who are not yet online. (For that matter, we need safe access for everyone else, too.)

That's why a simpler, SUPER simple tax plan would be the best. Also why I believe that the smaller the government, the more competition and innovation there can be!
This is, notoriously, how tax avoidance works in the UK. There's a revolving door between the big accountancy firms that work out tax avoidance schemes, HMRC, which is the UK's IRS, and policy desk's in the Treasury, which define tax policy.

HMRC has been notoriously lax in enforcing and collecting tax nominally owed by the largest corporations - most recently Google, which "negotiated" a payment of £130m in back taxes due on £4.6bn in sales.

The details of the "negotiation" have been kept confidential, so we have no way of knowing how they were calculated.
How an Afternoon Thought Changed 8 Lives
>Yes, some of the 100+ news organizations are ad free, such as the mandatory tv license-paid state broadcaster/propaganda organ SVT from my country, Sweden

Actually, at least here in Finland, the mandatory tax-paid state broadcaster is far from "ad free". They run lots and lots of ads for themselves. They also run ads for third parties (organisations, causes) that are politically suitable.
Thanks for letting me know. It does meet the "Show HN" requirements indeed! Is it possible to edit my post?
How Business Intelligence Software Is Changing
ZenHub Epics gives developers more transparency
How would Wireshark reveal this kind of attack? If the management chip has direct hardware access, it can hide data in innocuous-looking packets that the host machine never sees. You would have to monitor both the packets that the OS thinks it's sending, and the packets actually received by the switch, and constantly compare them for mismatches. Given the performance cost, I find it hard to believe that anyone except the most paranoid organizations would actually do this.

And of course, if you block the obvious exfiltration methods, all you do is force the attacker to do something more creative. Like modulating inter-packet timings, or even sending data to a nearby radio receiver by using the system bus as an antenna.
Some data should and will be released, but do we know how the released data was chosen?

Other things that degrade car sequences are:

1. use of CGI

2. overlaying with music (car nuts want to hear the note of the engine and singing tires instead)

3. hitting the fruit cart

4. hitting the hidden ramp that causes the car to flip over

5. speeding up the film

6. bad foley work, like sounds of double-clutch shifting while both hands can be seen on the wheel, tires squealing on dirt roads, etc.

Fix submitted url? localhost:4000 won't work for most ;)
It does (really: everything that wasn't designed with misuse resistance as a primary goal does) --- I was imprecise. Sorry.

Unfortunately, "encrypt-then-HMAC" doesn't save you from this problem; you'll either be encrypting with CBC (which loses security if IVs are predictable) or CTR (which blows up if they do). What you won't lose when that happens, though, is forgery resistance.

A good starting point for misuse-resistant authenticated encryption is SIV.

Initial Linux64 support landed in FreeBSD11 on 2015-05-24. The code freeze for the 10.2 release started on 2015-07-03.

Those 5'ish weeks was simply not enough time to get such a major addition sufficiently settled down for inclusion in the stable release branch. As such, it is now part of 10.3R.

I've worked on > 6 lambda functions now across various projects using Java, not sure what your problem is.

If you need to include a bunch of jars, using Maven + the maven shade plugin (or assembly plugin) to generate a 'fat jar' is very simple.

In fact, their official documentation states exactly this http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/java-create-jar-...
Then what?
oops. You are correct. <:)
Exactly. It's actually worrying to see so many people who express opinions like "I know it's not illegal but I don't like what you do so you should go to prison, or be thrown out of country, or stripped of assets".

Where has this money gone? I'd love if Kickstarters that failed had to get audited and get those results posted publicly.
it already exists in the form of torrentflix, a project i've contributed to.

Once of the reasons why I thought it's stupid that Google's OnHub router (everyone still remember that one?) require an app that would only work over the Internet to set it up - when it could've easily been done over its own Wi-Fi connection.

I do not want (most) IoT devices to be controlled directly over the Internet. For some it may make sense to do it like that, like say for surveillance cameras, but stuff like routers or coffee makers should be controlled locally.

When do we start addressing the systemic racism which systematically discriminates against business owned by people of the wrong colour — when that colour is white? I.e., addressing systemic racism by applying systemic racism seems pretty foolish.
I see this as a tooling problem. Why use two tools when you can use one? Why is "code review" not a first class citizen in your source control world?

I don't have all the answers of what the tooling should be, I just think this is as a good an opportunity to discuss it as any.

GitHub's long-standing --no-ff merges at least are one way of preserving the code review and it's internal changes directly into the git DAG. This mostly works except for tools like git bisect that treat the DAG as if it were a straight line, rather than making use of the fact that the system already supports complicated graphs.

Furthermore, along the questions of why use two tools to navigate the code repository: I sort of wish that things like GitHub PR comments and code annotations made their way somehow into nodes in the git DAG.
I bought a Dropcam when they were a new thing. When I realized they did literally everything via a cloud service and would be a brick without that service, I was furious. The incredible arrogance of a company making a webcam that sends your video to their servers, and provides no means to use the camera in a secure/local fashion, was astonishing to me.

I still can't believe something like Dropcam is such a huge success. The level of security awareness the general public has is terrifyingly small, and companies are taking advantage of it to produce brickable devices. It is the legal variant of ransomware...They can hold your data hostage for any reason and at any time. You're completely at their mercy, with regard to pricing and availability, and you have to trust they won't fall on hard times, or get tired of running the service.

This is the next front in the battle for electronic freedom, and lots of folks (even nerds) don't seem to realize it.
what confuses me is it costs so much, but they want to make the cooler _look_ like any other $30 cooler? are people throwing money at this just because it has some gimmick features?
It doesn't include the CPU itself?
While I would love a contemporary performance computer that can be trusted, no such device is even remotely possible in the manufacturing and fabrication ecosystems of today. Consider for just a moment ALL the chips inside the box. All the microcode, all the ROM, all the places something could be intentionally hidden. The idea that you could buy some parts on the internet at retail price that could satisfy the truly paranoid (ie defense & espionage communities) is ridiculous.

On the other hand, it still is probably possible to prevent a computers unrestricted access to the internet. For now at least.
i don't know, are computers racist, or is that just a human thing?
I don't know much about Bytejail or their offering; but I'd say one major, non-technical difference is that Bytejail is a German company with servers located entirely outside of the US. In theory, this makes search-and-seizure of customer data subject to German statutes, which are currently much stronger than US law in terms of privacy.

Take a look at SpiderOak's privacy policy, under the "Disclosure" section (https://spideroak.com/policy/privacy-policy):

>SpiderOak's policy is to notify a user of a request for their personal data stored on our servers prior to disclosure unless prohibited from doing so by statute or court order [e.g. U.S.C. § 2705(b)].

That would be NSLs.
I second this as I nearly stopped reading the page because of it. Also, most sites give a NoScript warning that goes away upon reload. This site directs us to a specific page, requires the usual "Allow," and then asks us to manually go back to the homepage. Only one I've run into in ages doing this. They should take the more common route of building the warning into the main page.
You perhaps get less opportunity for heroism, but on the whole be thankful for your small impact I think.

One common thread from both dad talking of WW2 and grandfather of WW1 was a lifelong cynicism of all things political. My Uncle was in Burma and got to see the River Kwai bridge as a prisoner. He never talked of the war. I only learned of this from dad, but was asked never to mention it. I wish I had chance to talk more in my 30s and 40s when my perspective had matured.

I think I'm quite glad I never lived through events of that magnitude now I've matured past "Oooh I could have flown a Spitfire" of childhood. Despite the terrorism in the media constantly, we're in far safer times.

I am saddened to read in this thread that we seem to have still not figured out how to treat indigenous people well.
