Don't forget they're also the ones asking the question, in this case. It's their document, they write the questions and the answers. They could have written, "Do Apple products contain more than trace amounts of lead?" and then answered it with a clear "no".

In this case, I give them credit for asking a clear question, and then attempting to answer it in a nuanced way.
Levenstein is an absolute metric, I think something like soreson-dice would be more useful.

Regardless, if you take the short keywords and blacklist them by approximation with curse words from several languages I think it would be really hard to get something at all.
Looks like I remembered, but there aren't any comments.
Add an option to fire always. Since there are no extra points for accurate shots or a sniper like gun, the better strategy is to just fire continuously.

When it comes to Uber, I think the default is to assume malice unless we can prove it is incompetence.
How will reparations do that? If the problem is something going on today, then fix today's problem now yesterday's.
Wow, some hidden surprises here.

- they argue that they are not newly requiring this, just newly gained the ability to enforce, and so will enforce it for previous years as well

- Uber is falling back on the whole independent contractor angle: not our employees, not our licensing problem

- Lyft says they have issues with publicising driver information, but it isn't clear to me where this is made public.

I think the way OP wrote it was slightly unclear. This is clearer to me:

Does the app log in every time it starts up, or does it just have a stored access token that is simply supplied with future requests regardless of whether it's been 5 hours or 5 months?

> 1) Has permission to read your contacts 2) You can access an OS level contact screen to choose a contact but the app can't read the list of all contacts 3) Has permission to write to contacts (remember when facebook changed contact to have a facebook email address? Would prefer no permission)

I think 2 can be integrated into no permission passing some sort of Intent to the iOS address book framework.

Similarly, permission to read photos on a one off basis can be integrated into no permission. The user should get sent to Photos app and the photos app could ask them whether the user would like to share a particular photo or a particular group of photos with the app that sent them there and with the user's permission the iOS system app can pass the data back to the requesting app.

Sort of like what you said with

> Taking a photos right now is "can access camera" where as I'd prefer no camera access for most non-camera apps (facebook) and just a way to launch a system camera. I don't want apps to have the ability to keep the camera/mic on without my knowledge but "can access camera" = can use constantly without my knowledge while app is running.

Yes, I absolutely agree. I'd go as far as to say even Instagram doesn't need camera permission.
If I could rewrite the tax code myself, in addition to treating capital gains and ordinary income the same, I'd seriously consider sharply reducing or even eliminating the corporate tax.

As you said, the corporate tax is an annoying form of double taxation, but governments have also proven to be terrible at actually collecting the corporate tax from big corporations. So really it's the smaller corporations' owners being double taxed.

The one thing I don't like about that scheme is that it makes C corporations into a way for anyone to defer taxation as long as they like. This isn't necessarily a terrible thing, but it could make sense to force owners of corporations (or at least of new fancy untaxed corporations) to realize their gains periodically.

Obviously this isn't 100% thought out. But neither is the current US tax code.
That's kind of narrow, don't you think? Anyway, there's quite a few large European and Asian firms that do business in the U.S. that meet such criteria. The NSA's TAREX teams in conjunction with CIA and ISA try to black bag them per pre- and post-Snowden info. They wouldn't be doing that if they had access to everything, eh? ;)

There are other things that the I/O setup script will do as well, like making sure your filesystem can handle async I/O properly and is fully patched, etc. It is indeed designed to be run everytime anything major changes in your deployment (like if you deploy to other machines, add more disks, etc)
Likely not. In this country the states run the elections, not the federal government.

If you want this in your state, push them (that is, your state senators and state legislature) to adopt a similar policy at the state level.

persistent and continual racism that has continued, unabated, for hundreds of years.

"Unabated", really? So we still have separate water fountains, and things like that recent report on the Chicago Police Department are normal and expected and generally accepted as how things should be?

You're talking about a population.
this could be interesting, but I'm not sure I really get it. If I have repos with more than 500 stars, I can see that in the repo. How many people have repos with more than 500 stars? How many people are interested in regularly checking the number of stars on their repos?

Is that what you're solving for?
I believe the poster was making the fair point that something being ancient doesn't provide evidence of its efficacy. The point was being made in very much the same brashly satirical spirit as my initial aside.

Why only provide reparations to the descendants of the slaves that were sold? It's not like Georgetown freed the slaves that it didn't sell.
Totally agree, length would be hugely useful so you know what you're getting into! :)
> Reparations isn't just about healing the old wounds of the past – its also about closing the gaping wounds of the present.

How will reparations make people less racist?
To make reparations (specifically of the non-voluntary sort) to one particular group is to cause harm to another group. This should be self-evident, but we can look at practical examples (e.g. World War I reparations which harmed both sides).

It is really moral or worthwhile to open new wounds (notably to entirely innocent parties) in the present in an attempt to rectify past injustice? We don't punish the children of murderers for their parent's offenses, let alone the descendants of their neighbors.
So manufacturers already know under what conditions/standard they can put an unassisted self-driving car on the public roads, and it's the same as (or analogous to) the rule for automated port tools? What is that standard?
On the surface this sounds good until you realize that there is a pretty big group of people that started using iPads, etc. with boating navigation and charting app. Pilots too I think. Used to be you could tell when you had a location fix using a GPS, especially when I wifi was turned off. Now my iPad magically gets a location fix even when in airplane mode and I have no idea how or if I can trust it enough for something critical. This all started changing in iOS 8 or 9. Really wish Apple would expose more details to app developers on what type of fix an iDevice was using.
After a long break from Uber I opened it up to price compare against Lyft. I switched between the two apps and then uber offered me two free rides. It seemed like it was detecting that I was hesitating to "come back" to Uber.

I use Android Lollipop and even if the permission didn't allow them to see I was using Lyft, I wouldn't be suprised if they're trying to re-engage "hesitating" users and are snooping for whatever data they can.
> Yes, it's completely selfish that someone would like to keep the money they've earned

Well yeah. The very concept of ownership is inherently selfish. It means you want there to be a particular set of resources you get to use, and no one else. It's pretty much the definition of selfishness.

Not that I think this is a bad thing, but if you're trying to argue with this particular rhetorical framing, you're going to lose hard.
Both examples above still "do business in the US".

Are there large scale examples following the original proposal of "Firms ought to refuse to do business in jurisdictions that do this authoritarian shit. Seriously. As it is, nobody in their right mind will do business with US firms where privacy matters."

Sure there are assorted pre/post snowden terms, etc. But, businesses, especially multinationals, are still going to do business in the US. That was my point.

I find it helpful that given the shitacular privacy laws in the US, at least Apple and Microsoft are being proactive about taking steps.

That said, due to family relations, I hear a lot about european data privacy, but, well, countries like German and Britain have a pretty cozy relationship with US equivalents.

This stuff is less complex than you might think. Building hardware is only really hard when you want to be Efficent. It's like using code in C# vs ASM.
> I think you'd be hard pressed to find any of us whose ancestors didn't suffer some sort of injustice when judged by today's standards.

In general yes, except in this case it is a particular institution with a particular list of names of people. Not just some abstract group -- but specific 272 names.

So if GU can trace what happened to those people, it seems reasonable to do something.

Another interesting thing in the article was the relationship about organized religion -- Jesuits and slavery. How priests "... required their slaves to attend Mass for the sake of their salvation, but also whipped and sold some of them."

It was perhaps a bit like the Declaration of Independnce (all men are created equal with inalienable Rights) vs slavery for another 100 years after it was written.

I find something interesting about institutional hypocrysy. It always exists, and to some degree and can be thought of as a benchmark of sanity or health of said system.
Well the parameters of the Apply HN concept according to the original posting indicates "idea or prototype stage" submissions are suitable. As the UAV situation has indicated thus far the FAA is not a worthwhile entity to bother with in the non-public release stages. It would be in the Ultralight or Microlight, non-license category anyway. I've got the math, working in private to get "a mockup" going as able, and would encourage you to offer technical resources as you're able if you happen to be able. Or you can volunteer to be a test pilot when the time comes. That works too.
It's as useful as the existing karma system allows it to be. I suspect most of the problems you have with the leader page are an almost direct result of how voting and karma work.

It's worth leaving this leader page up as it indicates the system as it stands. The answer lies much more in changing the system than in hiding its results.
>Their stories reveal how the boundaries of free speech were drawn during a period of explosive growth for a high-stakes public domain, one that did not exist for most of human history.

I feel like this is a pretty big jump to make. There's a difference between deciding not to publish and amplify child sexual assault, and the "boundaries" of free speech.

Whether their speech is free or not is irrelevant; YouTube has no obligation to publish it.
Skiena's Algorithms Video Lectures
American slavery (not just in the USA, slavery throughout the Americas) is a big deal, of which there are no parallels in history considering its scale and its racist character, didn't happen that long ago, and its echoes are still being felt very much today, so it should absolutely be viewed through "special lens".

I Know Why Poor Whites Chant Trump, Trump, Trump
It's totally a positive feedback loop. It's like Southwest airlines. They've got the same planes as everyone else and I am sure their staff has experience working for the airlines we hate. But because as a customer I think of them as nicer I treat them nicer and everyone is happier.

I know my Lyft drivers likely drive for Uber too but in an Uber I don't expect a friendly driver so I never give them a chance. In a Lyft I try to strike up a conversaion and often enjoy it.
Camelcamelcamel is livetweeting a physical datacenter move
Good question. A lot of the differences between the races is not in today's problems, but in yesterday's. In particular note: the income gap is a problem, but the capital gap is even bigger. Capital is often inherited, which means that white families are still benefiting from historical slavery. By providing capital, potentially through reparations, we could offset a portion of our historical debt. Not sure it would work, but that's the theory.
I guess I think they should keep things as they are and let the prices keep going up. Sure people will be displaced. Ohhh well. The free market can sort this out. Companies have to go set up shop somewhere else to get their needs met and likely for cheaper. Prices will come down in San Francisco and some other city who is more willing to accommodate the tech industry will arise. I think Austin Texas or Portland or LA or Atlanta would be happy to accommodate the tech industry.
Isn't the reason I don't vote for my state legislators or know what they do that most of the power to influence my life has been taken by the federal government?

I pay no attention to my state legislature because their activities seem uninteresting and irrelevant. Most people spend their time instead focusing on the federal government because federal policies are the ones everyone thinks should solve the world's problems.

But I have no voice in the federal government. Congress is mostly crippled because it's politicians have to be all things to all of too many people in order to be elected and stay in office.

If more power rested in my state of 3 million people I would certainly feel a greater sense of empowerment. In an electorate of that size I would have some chance of helping to drive public discourse about how to design a better healthcare system or how to improve the economy in my little part of the world. I might even stand some chance of electing an independent or 3rd party candidate that actually agrees with me on more than one issue rather than having to pick from one of the two crappy candidates with funding from billionaires in far-off realms that I have available now.

I think many people feel the same as I do and suspect that, if there were a transfer of power to the states, then democracy at the state level would flourish, surpassing what we now have at the federal level, as people perceive their increased control over their government and increased investment in its activity.

Sadly, I have no hard data to back up this thesis, and have never been able to think of a good way of looking for data to either confirm or refute it.
It seems there's more at play than that.
Yes, but almost half of americans understand completely how we were created intelligently.
I wonder what kind of bandwidth they're getting with their car (suv?) full of servers. More seriously, though, wouldn't something like camelcamelcamel be a perfect candidate for AWS or something similar, thereby preventing headaches like physically toting servers hundreds of miles?
Sure on Lollipop it doesn't work anymore but they could be trying to get some of this information from phones on KitKat and below, which are a solid chunk of the market.
I think you're correct here. Also, like POST-based CSRF, get-based CSRF is also a solved problem (issue a param in the URL)
"Sure there are assorted pre/post snowden terms, etc. But, businesses, especially multinationals, are still going to do business in the US. That was my point"

Oh OK. That's a lesser point that doesn't concern me as much. Our concern is if the U.S. controls the security of their products. Merely selling them in the U.S. doesn't allow for that. If anything, they'd compromise a specific user or product for U.S. targets. This is why the NSA has to hack them whereas they can just get the FBI to compel the local firms to "SIGINT enable" the products as the ECI leaks said.

Far as totally outside U.S., there's Asian firms that do that. One guy that taught me a lot about HW security said his company straight-up refuses to do business in the U.S. due to patent suits and other issues. He told me there's plenty of market in Asia and Europe for firms that sell hardware or license I.P.. So, I know at least one does it.
Yes, let's make the web more secure!

This doesn't do that.

Instead, let's solve zero day advertising payloads.

Let's fund a cure for email spam and phishing.

Let's find a cure for site spoofing.

Let's find a cure for "this dialog means I have to click OK to get on with things."

Regarding "domains are controlled," that doesn't matter. If I want to serve pages from www.mydomain and static/CDN content from static.mydomain and services from api.mydomain, those are different domains.

The main solution for a big site is to build all the credential and security logic into the load balancer/HTTPS terminator, which is an almost-guarantee to get version skew and security holes.

All this "secure web" intention only works for small monolithic sites, and don't even solve the real security problems on the web.

Per your point that Google knows far more data than Uber via Maps/Waze, I'd like to point out that Google Ventures plowed 200mm+ into Uber at one point. So a partnership between the two is not unlikely in a future like the one your describe.
Java 4 Ever (Official Trailer)
Actually that's backwards. Android moved to the new permission system (fewer perm groups, runtime user permission) to be more like iOS. It used to be that all permissions were granted at install time, which made apps much more likely to ask for onerous permissions because the user is unlikely to read the list or turn back.

It's likely they don't try this on iOS because iOS simply doesn't have the APIs to do this under any permission. It's a philosophical platform difference about what the user should be able to allow apps to do.
The Digital Antiquarian (name of the site hosted at filfre.net) is always an excellent read. I highly recommend starting from the beginning, as our host takes us through a very well-researched history of computer and adventure gaming.

You can download the website's content in e-book form, which makes sense given its essay-like format. The link to do so is here: http://www.filfre.net/the-digital-antiquarian-e-book-library...
By commenting here, I do not want to be that guy that just comes up to say "I second this", but, in a way, this is what I am doing. I also find it terribly obnoxious, and, in some sense, completely paternalistic.

While on a broad reaching medium, like TV, when can accept that the presenter is trying to reach the least capable person out there in terms of understanding the message, on podcasts, being as they are so specific and targeted, doing the same just does not feel right (to me, at least).

If the presenter breaks the rhythm of a guest to explain what the guest is saying is like rubbing in your face and saying "I'm sorry you can't understand this, but I'll translate it to you". If we reached the podcast, we probably CAN understand what the other person is saying.

Thank you for pointing that out. It really gets to my nerves sometimes.
No more than any other level of government left unchecked. The pendulum has now swung the other way, and there's probably an optimal Goldilocks zone somewhere in the middle. You're right that it's about balancing the authority of government at different levels against each other.
Well I don't think zero values are a very good idea to start with (if you want a default value, make it explicit), but if one insists on having them, they can just use the first case. So for your example it would be int 0.
It's not the site, it's the people that pay too much attention to it that are a problem. Say what you want to say when you want to say it. Don't worry about points.

It's a fun distraction every once in a while (oh hey, another X points and I hit the leaderboard!), but gaming the system in general, or spending any time worrying about it... just no.
Yeah, I'm afraid that in Uber's case this is what you must assume. Normally I don't default to such a state, I honestly feel that most times it's just incompetence within an organization, but in Uber's case they have been a bad actor for a long time now so they just can't be trusted.

I won't be using Uber, ever.
