Investors of the DAO: unlimited liability for their partnership's misdeeds?

That's what I do. I've got local Time Machine backups (which I have restored from in the past). So far I just haven't had to use my Backblaze backups but I think I'll test that this weekend.
I can. It may be relevant to mention there must be a couple of cultural differences on this point. I think most people in France may have never heard about the word "ageism", from the moment they're not in some social justice circles. Employment discrimination is a public sphere topic but it is much more about immigrants and women. Also, the tech labor market in SF bay area may display way different variables compared to Paris (as may the educational system).

"The DAO's investors [...] might now be keenly interested in whether they are in fact general partners in the DAO under local law.

The interesting challenges on a interstate are pretty similar as the usual challenges of autonomous vehicles, so what happens if there is a construction site, or if there are people on the road. (But you have to deal with that at a lot higher speeds.)

And Ars had a very interesting article on the validation of self-driving cars, the thing is humans are rather good at driving, to the tune of 10^8 km per fatal accident, so you need really huge statistics to validate self driving cars. I suspect that if you want to show that your autonomous truck is as save as a human truck driver, then you acquire another factor of 2 in the kilometers needed. (Actually I seem to remember that it is about a factor of 5, but that is entirely unsourced.)

Yes, I think so. While some might not be classified as modern SaaS, I've seen some companies migrate over their desktop applications to offer SaaS options.

Given that there are tons of people I've spoken with who've never heard of AngelList, YC or TechCrunch and yet have profitable SaaS companies, I'd say there's a chance there could be at least 100,000 if we're to take in Europe, China, India etc.

> ...the latter can't see any further than Christmas.

My limited understanding of US unions was that the ones which augured companies into the ground had a toxic, dysfunctional, non-communicative relationship with company management. Even when the company management was sharing and showing them the books and the mathematical certainty of everything shutting down if changes weren't made, the unions thought the company management was pulling the wool over their eyes. So they decided to call what they felt was company management's bluff, and called it wrong.

I've never felt comfortable with the narrative that these particular US unions were so short-sighted they would cut their noses off to spite their face; that doesn't fit the prior narrative of the enormous amount of diligent, persistent work it took to organize in the first place. I'm more inclined to believe the narrative that there was such an antagonistic, distrustful, hostile atmosphere in those meetings that union and company management were together as doomed as a Greek tragedy.

Any US union history buffs out there care to clarify what the current thoughts are here on what really happened?
I wouldn't too much about that. The new noteholder would still need to honor the provisions of the original agreement, and you could involve the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau if you ran into problems with the servicing of the note.

"From their prospectus:
Our arrangements for backup servicing are limited. If we fail to maintain operations, you will experience a delay and increased cost in respect of your expected principal and interest payments on the Notes, and we may be unable to collect and process repayments from borrowers. We have made arrangements for only limited backup servicing. If our platform were to fail or we became insolvent, we would attempt to transfer our Loan servicing obligations to our third-party back-up servicer. There can be no assurance that this back-up servicer will be able to adequately perform the servicing of the outstanding Loan. If this back-up servicer assumes the servicing of the Loan, the back-up servicer will impose additional servicing fees, reducing the amounts available for payments on the Notes. Additionally, transferring these servicing obligations to our back-up servicer may result in delays in the processing and recovery of information with respect to amounts owed on the Loan or, if our platform becomes inoperable, may prevent us from servicing the Loan and making principal and interest payments on the Notes. If our back-up servicer is not able to service the Loan effectively, investors’ ability to receive principal and interest payments on their Notes may be substantially impaired."

> objectively reasonable

Why am I not surprised that our laws are underpinned by a paradox.

> It's objectively true that phone call records are not private

By this standard, is anything private? If I have a home security system run by a third party, does that mean my front door is not private because I share it with ADT? Maybe instead of getting a warrant LEOs can request ADT to unlock the front door.

> you have to admit that it's less reasonable to have an expectation of privacy in something someone else owns and controls

My phone is controlled by apple. My car is controlled by on-star. My money is controlled by visa. It sounds like the only reasonable expectation to privacy is in your own brain.. for now.

No it doesn't. They found evidence on his computer that strongly suggests there is child porn on the encrypted drive, there are witnesses that claim "John Doe" showed them child porn and he admitted to knowing the password initially, it was only later he claimed he forgot.

Prosecutors need sufficient evidence to obtain from a judge warrants, and in this case a decryption order, before they can hold you in contempt of court.

Of course, the evidence required for a warrant is still typically less than what is necessary to convict. The issue here is something to do with fifth amendment rights, which honestly I don't know a lot about because I'm Australian.
> in order to make it harder for a hacker to compromise them

Keeping implementation details secret DOES make it harder for a hacker to compromise them. When used as a defence on top of a decent security infrastructure. "Security through obscurity" is when a company only uses the secrecy as a defence. This is not true:

> they're all reliant on security by obscurity

They're generally reliant on some secure and proven methods of security, with a layer of design obscurity over the top (and in practice as others have pointed out, they don't keep the design secret for security reasons, they do it for commercial ones).
I'm quite sure leaving out "that" in the given sentence is totally fine. I've been taught that you can leave out that, who, and which if the world after "that" is not a verb.
If it is a verb, you can also use participle as suggested by parent (but if you use participle too often with long sentences, the sentence will become hard to understand). When using the participle, you should never use that, who, or which.

It should also be noted that leaving out "that" (if grammatical correct) can sometime sound wrong to native speakers, but that varies from accent and region since there is no standard (at least as far as I know).
I'm not enough of a fool to think that the BBC scrapping all these "inefficiencies" will cause the license fee to be reduced...or even stay the same
Not the best analogy. The anthropologists aren't trying to root out wrongdoers in this tribe by surveilling the whole lot of them.
I agree, and I suspect the union problem is a symptom of the rigid procurement rules. Only a few contractors know how to navigate the system, and so the market is not really "contestable." Even though it's the private sector, unions retain bargaining power.

Also, with major urban projects there's usually political pressure from the local community to use local union labor. That might make it into contracts even if it's not a locally managed project. Again, the underlying problem is not unions, but excessive localism.

Also, he showed his own family child porn, and they have actually found searches for child porn in a VM on the computer.

Unfortunately responses like the parent comment are predictable on HN. There is the constant narrative that the government is out to get us all. Yet the example given is someone who already has a lot of evidence of child porn, and a frickin police officer no less.

> How so? I sometimes think racist (and sexist, and...) thoughts, but I know they are wrong, so I don't act on them. How am I contributing to the oppression of people of the ethnicity I have racist thoughts against?

So do I. Whenever I do, I work to try to understand where the thought came from, and how, if millions of people also had that same thought, what the consequences for minorities would be. I feel it's my obligation to understand the deeper psychological dynamics at play.

One's thoughts can't be controlled like one's hands can be, but that doesn't mean you can't work on them.

> (Incidentally I think "people of color" is a pretty racist term, since it lumps all non-white ethnicities together.)

More racist or less racist than the n-word? And why would lumping them together be racist? Terms by themselves are not racist, it's how you use them that matters.

> Well I do argue that. Just as homosexual rape is a crime (although often treated as a joke, c.f. prison rape), child rape is a crime. No matter the sexual orientation of the perpetrator.

Still waiting on the argument that we'll one day be as accepting of paedophilic sexuality as we are of homosexuality. Yes rape is a crime, but criminality is not the point of contention here, morals are. You and others seem to be arguing that morality is not useful as a social tool, that one should not feel bad about thoughts that one has that could exacerbate social problems. That we should draw the line at legal consequences for actions and treat the mind as sacrosanct. I very much disagree, racism has taught us that the law can itself be used to perpetuate evils.

> Since when can sexual orientation be changed? According to Wikipedia:

Thanks for the pointer to Wikipedia. (not being snide, I didn't do my research before opening up my mouth this time) It still looks like an active area of research and I'm hopeful that new therapies will emerge in the future.

I do think sexuality is at least somewhat malleable. I could never see myself becoming homosexual, but I can easily see how I could have been or could in the future become bisexual. I would be adding a new sexuality on top of my old one, figuring out a new way to have that experience.

I fail to believe paedophilia is the only mode of sexuality that's open to most or even a significant fraction of paedophiles.
I'm curious how this graph would look if you compared only Linux users (obviously IE and Edge would drop off). It didn't strike me how important Firefox is to the FOSS world until I started experimenting with Linux distros and found that it was consistently pre-installed on flavors of Ubuntu/Debian/Mint/Fedora/FreeBSD. It becomes even more valuable on distros that refuse to pre-load any proprietary software.

I have logs on my site showing many users who enter their passwords from memory regularly only to forget them months later after not using them.

Since the user hasn't been made to recall the password for months, it's plausible that he forgot it. I know I have personally forgotten passwords to accounts after months of disuse.

For instance, I had an old yahoo email account for many years. I didn't use it for about six months before they announced they would start re-purposing accounts that went unused for more than a year. I was unable to remember the password as well as the email account I had associated with that account for password reset. I ended up losing the account.

The pigeon makes reference to a child gymnast, then there's the comment about hitting on a teen boy. Humans, generally, first learn about physical desire and sexuality in their adolescence (specifically during and following puberty). Sexual attraction for individuals with the characteristics we initially found attractive, never really leave our psyche. This puts most humans in the category of "paedophiles" in the sense that the attraction is there, albeit small. It's such a culturally understood concept that I'm surprised when it has to be explained.
Security through obscurity is when obscurity is your only security measure. When used on top of an otherwise secure system, obscurity actually makes finding vulnerabilities harder.

The principle with open source is that you can trade that obscurity away in favour of the "many eyes" on your code and the fact that it is then proven secure. That tradeoff is definitely worth it, but that doesn't mean that the obscurity doesn't help security.

Apart from the obvious assault on the presumption of innocence here, is there a cryptographic file-system that stores a secret X and Y that given a key k_x would decrypt the content X and given k_y would decrypt the content Y without revealing to an attacker that there are multiple contents?

If yes, than one could store a real secret X and store a false secret Y, something that looks like a secret enough to be perceived as a secret. Then in case of torture, government persecution, etc, the victim could reveal only Y.
> Well, no, at least the way I'm viewing "implementation defined". If the signed addition is implementation defined, I'd think that by definition "x + y" never becomes an undefined value.

See my other reply. A compiler can legally rewrite the expression into "(uint64_t)x + (uint64_t)y > UINT_MAX ? undef : true" per your rule.
The whitepaper was more than just usual PR: he got lots of input of top engineers in the travel space and made the design free. I don't remember the CEO of Boing or BMW or any other transportation company doing anything similar.
The nice thing about the generator is that (with a nontrivial amount of boilerplate!) you can pretend that the body of the function* is a synchronous zone even though it makes several calls to asynchronous promises.

The basic idea is that you wrap the generator in a sort of trampoline that turns it into a promise. This 'trampoline' detects whenever the generator falls down to it (via some `yield` of some Promise) and then waits on that promise before resuming the generator-trampoline combo. The promise then returns its result directly into generator.next(), where it becomes the value of the `yield` expression, thus within the generator `x = yield myPromise()` creates a new Promise by calling myPromise, suspends execution until that Promise completes (by dropping down to the trampoline, which bounces us up into the myPromise().then()), and finally gets the value and assigns it to x.

You have just one scope, the scope of the function* of the generator, in which all of the results of all of your Promises live.
