i do not think these concerns are legitimate any longer. if internet security was impossible then my bank account (along with others) would have been hacked long ago. everybody banks online. this is just conservative backlash. the real problem with elections is that a lot of people do not bother to vote, which put the legitimacy of the elections into question. online elections can help solve that.
Yeah. But would you like it if Apple does the same? Because I bet they'll end up doing it sooner or later.

I think you've stumbled across a bigger issue - democracy is fundamentally broken since no one has any incentive to vote correctly.

I know a lady who's a likely Trump voter. But she also donated money to Hillary in order to get the "woman card". https://shop.hillaryclinton.com/products/the-woman-card She's pretty honest that it's just entertainment for her - like voting on American Idol.

Think about how many elections have been swayed due to "I support Obama because I'm not racist", "Bush looks like a cool guy to get a beer with", "boo yeah Trump - take that liberals who look down on me", etc? (Amusingly, neither Bush nor Trump will ever get a beer with you, teetotalers both.)

People get away with this because their vote doesn't matter. If they vote wrong, they won't lose anything. So why not just do what makes you feel good? You've got no skin in the game.

Poll is perfectly fine for the very large majority of unix applications which do not need to scale to tens of thousands of sockets.

The handling over to callback is exactly what is done by unix signals. Converting to exceptions can be implemented on top of signal handlers, but note that even MS stopped mapping by default structured exceptions to language exception a while ago, at least in C++, as unwinding the stack, destroying state and potentially calling destructors is the last thing you want on a segmentation fault or other unexpected events.

By the way, it's very strange that this has been resubmitted three times from green accounts, and ambicular has the same strange pattern: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=ambicular.com

If you are using sockpuppets, the mods will ban your account and your site.

And I remember a similar submission before, but I can't find it. I left a comment, something like: "The initial drops are ellipses that are too round. Add some noise to the initial shape."
And that, eventually, is going to have to be good enough for online publishers and advertisers.

Not voting is perfectly legitimate choice for a voter. Also, deciding who to vote for is hard decision to make if you are not that much into politics.

I would rather have people staying home than casting random votes based on their emotions, or who they happened to see on billboard on their way to voting point.

Voting should be a conscious effort, so making it too easy to vote is counterproductive.
Other than nuclear powered subs, aren't carriers the only US naval vessels in service that are nuclear powered? And therefore the only vessel able to power the US navy's future rail gun? [1]

I was also under the impression that once full spec rail guns are mounted on US carriers it vastly increases the carrier's durability in combat and expands its combat role. The 32MJ version has a range of 220 miles and uses non-explosive ordinance, meaning less chance of secondary explosions due to on-board fires during combat. Also very hard to detect or deploy countermeasures against a hunk of metal flying really fast (5600mph muzzle velocity apparently), containing no explosives or electronics.

So carriers are currently giant, slow-moving targets that need to be protected by a flotilla of other ships in order to achieve force-projection. With rail guns, they become highly durable and versatile ships capable of ship-to-ship combat, air defence, point defence, long-range land bombardment, being a mobile air strip etc.

It's increasingly likely that Russia or China may fight a war with the US outside their traditional borders. For example in the South China Sea. It would be conceivable that a conflict there would stay "sub-nuclear", as neither nation's home territory is threatened.
This is a really fantastic solution in terms of functionality, but it also comes burdened with a bunch of JS calls and user profiling opportunities. It's very like Google Analytics in that respect; there's a quid pro quo if a publisher uses it.
You can label foods that are GMO free if you are catering to the small minority of people that care. Labeling all foods that contain GMOs is just silly and wasteful. And it implies something is wrong with the product or that they could be unsafe.

It doesn't make any more sense than labeling everything that contains DNA. Which as this article states, most consumers would prefer. And many think it is unsafe, and would avoid such foods!

> Trouble is it's being poisoned by the greed of Buzzfeed and Wired etc.

No, that's exactly wrong.

You tell people that you can get paid for having a URL called, someone will cheat- they will find the most power-and-cost "efficient" way of having that URL called.

Now there are people trying to be "efficient" and there are people trying to monetise content, and the advertiser can't tell the difference, so the mean price of that traffic goes down, and as a result, Buzzfeed (heh) and Wired make less money so they have less to spend on good content.

Eventually, all we get is recycled reality television.

If you really want to blame someone for this, consider that Google is laughing all the way to the bank, because they make more money as demand increases, not when their publishers produce better content. They could stop this, but don't.

What I would like in a new kind of Ad network:

- all ads are responsive HTML5 ads

- all resources are loaded over HTTPS

- ads are based on your content, not on a profile of the user

- ads can be requested server side by sending the URL where the ad will be displayed through an API. The response contains the ad code, as well as the expiration date

- if you want, you can even download a package with all resources so ad blockers can't block you. (unless they target you specifically)

- if you don't get an ad in return, you can fill that space with your own fallback ads

- the ad network also does some kind of sentiment analysis so it doesn't show ads for Donald Trump on a page that's critical about him

- the ad network immediately severs ties with anyone who abuses the system
I'd say it is past negotiations. The referendum probably puts them actually now in the weaker position. If people opt for the EU, Brussels could easily ignore any claims for further privileges, after all the EU has been officially backed by the British people.

And if people opt for leaving, well, then the decision is clear anyhow.

As for the vote next week, I have no idea what to expect. At the last debate Cameron-vs-Farage, I did have the feeling that Cameron was slightly nervous - but that was just a subjective impression.

As a user, I'm requesting only YOUR content. I don't get a choice past that what your revenue model looks like. Your decision (or not) to host ads from various networks means that from my perspective, I visit your page and suddenly my performance / bandwidth turns to garbage.

Ergo the lesson I learn is to not visit your site. How's that a net positive for content creators?
Voice is a new interface that replaces the GUI, simple as that. It's more similar to a CLI. Either way, it's an Apple interface, but so is the iPhone screen.

Voice (and messaging) are constrained interfaces, so you need to put more horsepower behind them to help them work and become interactive.
I wonder what the actual latency improvements will be. If it's connected through PCI express, there will be a lower limit which is dictated by the bus. While reducing the latency of the drive will still certainly matter, this latency introduced by the bus will serve to lessen the relative improvements with respect to SSDs.

PCI Express is packetized and it takes a little over 1 nanosecond per byte for the 3.0 version. I believe the minimum packet size is 20 bytes, but I'm not positive on that. It seems like the latency could never be less than 2 * (1 * 20) nanoseconds in the case of a random access, and this is before the latency of the drive itself is factored in. Surely there will be a few clock cycles required for the drive HW to decode the PCIe transaction and act upon it.

That being said, any latency improvement of the drive _will_ have a direct reduction in effective latency in the end, so it’s all good news to me. I’m just curious about the 1000x figure that’s being referenced everywhere.

Thanks, don't like to assume things, and never really thought about if there are some people that're anti-commercial pii collection, but pro gov collection; as we both would likely agree, there probably are somewhere.

As for me, I give out less (real) pii than 99.999% of the world, in part because even as a kid I knew how easy it was to find and use info.

I don't know what the best way forward is to the topic, but the current situation seems problematic to me.

Only real solution long-term is a positive & significant economic culture that values privacy; my opinion.
It doesn't work because the public is uniformed on 99.99% of issues. And most don't have the patience to listen to the long debates and do the research on every single issue.

True, but it is part of a process where the range of respectable opinions on social issues is moving to the left. It's really something to see a Republican presidential candidate coming out in favor of gays at all.

I could get UK citizenship if I ask for it, and I would have done that if it was the other way around (my country leaving the EU, instead of the UK).

The way I see it, the main argument to leave the EU is to reduce immigration, it would be pointless if we stay in anyway :)
We've got a simple way to defeat this particular attack in Norway - the ballots are in the booth. You can take a dozen if you like.

Electoral workers inspect the booth regularly to make sure all parties' ballots are available.

If you cannot find a particular party's ballot, you are encouraged to take the remainder of another couple of ballots (So that you won't have to walk over to staff, asking them to provide more ballots for party X), leave the booth, bin the ballots and ask staff to refill the booth with all valid ballots.

Once you leave the booth (which is right in front of the electoral clerks), you head over to the desk with the voter register, your identity is confirmed against the register and then your (folded) ballot is stamped, immediately after which you put it in the ballot box. Only ballots with a stamp on them are counted, eliminating the risk that someone would (quite literally) go ballot stuffing by folding several ballots and trying to get them put in the ballot box; only the stamped one counts, anyway.
volatile int isn't necessarily safe. volatile sig_atomic_t would be, however.

Well, to be honest, very few programs are able to orchestrate >2GB allocations correctly when complied to 32 bit binary, like Visual Studio linker is not aware of >2GB sizes by default (one need to /LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag for it), which was a trouble for modern browsers because linker was unable to fit everything in limited virtual address space.

And another to be honest, very few programs on desktops/mobile are actually checking return values of malloc/calloc, because of amount of data that program operates is usually much smaller than amount of RAM available. It's sure a case for embedded, but you simply usually don't use malloc for embedded.

There's dialup over GSM. Though those modems does this by piping data through a software modem and then onto the GSM channel, however it requests a clear channel, so no transcoding is done by the network or the phone (the lossy GSM codecs arn't suitable for this)

I haven't read as much on the topic as you, but I've always heard that WWII was effectively a continuation of WWI; the root cause being the punitive measures in the Treaty of Versailles.
