Japanese people are human and the base morality that evolution has endowed us with. This divides humanity into two groups, in group and out group. Morality only applies to the in group. It takes a lot of acculturation and education to expand an individual's conception of the in group is, from family/tribe to nation/culture to humanity. As such, any sub-culture that can take over the public sphere of a culture will have little difficulty getting people to dehumanise the other, and once they're dehumanised people have little more difficulty committing atrocities than they do slaughtering animals.

As you may have noted none of this is specific to Japanese culture. That's because in this respect we're a lot weirder than they are in historical perspective.

Yeah that is perhaps the most problematic aspect of Bluetooth. The radio interface is designed with the presumption of the signal bouncing off nearby surfaces. Thus it is sensitive to line of sight issues.

Mind you, i have also been able to connect to a USB dongle through solid wood walls, so mileage may vary.

Never mind that you can get two classes of radios, on top of the LE stuff. With each class having different transmission strengths.

How does Google deal with external dependencies? E.g. the Linux kernel. Do they have a copy of Linux in the monorepo for custom patches? Is there a submodule-like reference to another repository? Is there a tarball in the monorepo, a set of patches, and a script to generate the Custom-Google-Linux? What happens when a new (external) kernel version is integrated?

If you want self-defence, my impression is that world-wide Krav Maga is generally a form that manages to hold a high standard across different locations and instructors. But as always, practice will never be any better than the instructor and the students he or she accepts.

In general, any martial school that focuses not on competition, can be good (the set of techniques are not really that different, they're all ways for one human to break another human - physics and biology dictates what falls out as efficient).

Judo can be efficient self-defence in a club that tries to focus on the early martial arts curriculum (but generally fails miserably at teaching strikes and kicks). One benefit of judo is that it (should) teach good ukemi (how to fall) - I usually say that knowing ukemi is knowing how to block the ground. A large number of real-world injuries come from hitting your head on the ground or on the curb, so being able to get up (and run away) from being thrown to the ground is a good start. Not to mention some grappling can go a long way if you find yourself in an intimate situation that you only too late realize is turning into an attack. This also holds for brazilian ju-jutsu (which despite it's name is more like early judo practice, than traditional ju-jutsu) -- but I've yet to see many bjj dojos that have a reasonable focus on throws and efficient ukemi (which makes sense, if you focus on a sport that does mostly take-downs and not throws).

That said, most big martial arts can be great for self-defence, if the instructors have an interest and are competent in self-defence. But practising real-life self-defence isn't really pleasant - so doesn't go well with typical "martial arts for exercise" type programs.
Switzerland also moved far more slowly than the EU, and waited with common currency until cultural and political unification had come much further than EU today. I think one of the authors central themes was the need for pragmatism over ideology.

I think that is the main problem with the EU today. Too many career politician with grand visions. We need people more rooted in reality who understand and respect national differences and don't pretend we are all so dam equal.

To clarify, we are equal in value, but not in customs, expectations and nature.

I think all Europeans want to be together, but we don't fully trust each other and that must be taken into account.
All SHA3 finalists on PicoLisp
Pretty much all the decent dedicated MP3 players have been discontinued. The last really great one for me was the Samsung's range (nee Yepp). But unfortunately the last one was the YP-U7 back in 2012 and it's very obvious they aren't going to make any more, even though they never announced it.

Sony still does players but they're not very good.

It really baffles me how big the misconception about Telemetrie on Windows 10 is, even thought it's all written in the Terms.

There is simply no such thing as disabling, and even the lowest option (which is only available for enterprise users anyway) that only reports errors includes paragraphs that mention that everything could be leaked, when it is somehow involved in a error.

IMO at the current state Windows 10 is definitely illegal to use in security relevant environments, as it could potentially leak anything.
Another, as likely, aspect, is that Bluetooth is designed around signals bouncing off surfaces. Try moving your phone from one side of the body to the other while outside. It may well be that your surroundings do not provide enough signal reflection. Keep in mind that most mobile bluetooth radios do not transmit with the same strength as wifi. Best i can tell, only USB dongles use a wifi equivalent radio class.

Strongly typed languages require of me to do more work upfront, to satisfy their type checker. They must necessarily reject programs that would work correctly. In this process a lot of mistakes are eliminated, and this gives me more confidence that the result will work. I like that way of working. But does it produce more robust code? Is it more productive? It feels like it, but that doesn't mean it's true.

There is no reason to assume that we can't fix damage before it causes functional impairment. Our bodies' self repair mechanisms are pretty good, but evidently not perfect. If we put more emphasis on researching these imperfections and figure out how to augment the repair mechanisms, we'll be able to live without the diseases caused by age related breakdown of essential systems. Right now we don't really do that.
Seems similar to the mess that is USB 3.1.

One would be lead to believe that 3.1 and the C plug is one and the same, But they are not.

There are actually 3 different specs that the OEMs can combine in various ways.

First is the C plug spec, that can be used with or without the Power Delivery and 3.1 data spec.

Then there is the 3.1 data spec, that is so minor an update to the 3.0 spec that effectively all 3.0 devices are 3.1 compatible. It can be used with A and C plugs alike.

Then there is the Power Delivery spec. This promises that you can get up to 20V out of a USB port, any USB port. Yep, you can encounter A ports that can go up to 20V if you have the right device and cable at the other end.
Lots of people do exactly that (treat it like a dumb data store) and are wildly successful. Do what you want, but don't say other people shouldn't do it a different way which has been proven to work.

One aspect of teaching everyone to code is what Seymour Papert talked about in Mindstorms: it can be used as a medium for carrying ideas. For example, I think Mindstorms had this anecdote about a child who previously had trouble grasping the idea of classifying parts of speech (nouns, verbs, etc.). Later, she was writing a program for creating random nonsensical sentences, when suddenly it clicked, and it all made sense to her.

The point of this anecdote is not that every child should write such a program to understand parts of speech. It's about something much more general, but I have no idea how to express it briefly. I'm not even sure if I fully understand it. So, unfortunately, this idea might just be too subtle to be properly executed on a national scale.

I'd have to modify my previous post, then: "What I think is most interesting about D-K is how it is referred to as universal, as an aspect of human psychology in general, but in fact the original studies were done in America on American college students".

As far as I can tell, TFA does not seem claim that there isn't a cultural dimension to D-K, just that we don't know what it is because no studies are cited. I would still say that it doubtful that the studies on Cornell students generalize to the entire population of the world when it comes to these things...

If many people that seed some movie I leech also seed others, or if the same person that seeds a few movies I leech also seeds others, it seems likely that I'd like those movies too.

This would basically be "People who liked this also liked ..." but it would work for everything (I'm not aware of any site that shows what movies I might like based on what books and music I like, even though there must be some corelation) and it would be hard to spam, you'd have influence only to the extent you support the torrent network.

I guess technically you're right here, because what I would do is deny that you have the ability to define "static typing" (or "dynamic typing") in a meaningful way.

A statically typed language is a language where the compiler uses type information about expressions at compile-time to check the validity of a program, otherwise it is a dynamically typed language.
I am pretty sure that would make the software illegal in most countries.
I still cannot wrap my head around this. What merit does forcing internal code to update a dependancy have? Having dependencies packaged like NuGet, and using an internal repository, you can always remove a particular version of a dependency if you must, and a build will fail if it cannot automatically use the latest minor version.

Ask HN: If you wanted to 'hardware jailbreak' a device, how might you do this?
Most rootings/jailbreaks that have been widely released use software vulnerabilities to escalate privilege.

If instead you had access to the hardware of a device, and could make any reasonable modification or intervention, how would you approach this? What techniques are used for this class of attacks?

(Reasonable modifications might be things like soldering extra components, removing ICs, using oscilloscopes and data loggers - but not, say, decapping chips and imaging them in an electron microscope as presumably those resources are a lot more limited.)

More practically, how might you do this on recent devices such as latest, flagship iOS, Android, or Windows Phone handsets? Are there any good, educational examples of this?

Yeah, it's possible to have security like Signal, but then synchronization between devices is PITA and the rate of new features is slow.

E.g. recently I cannot understand how someone can sucessfully sue for $10,000 upon being forced to upgrade to Windows 10?

I know many people who would say that Realpolitik and lack of ideals is actually what is poisoning the EU.
I am not surprised. It seems that a certain subset of the European elite embraced the samurai as a symbol of what Europe lost with the shift from Feudalism to Democracies.

Note how you can see something of the same with how knights and related honor codes gets embraced by extremists across Europe (in particular in times of hardship).

Similarly, the post-ww1 British administrators of what became Irak elevated the bedouin on a pedestal[1]. And the region is paying the price to this day.

Don't get me wrong, I admire the swiss. But attributing a nations success to higher moral standards of individual people is crazy. The swiss might exhibit admirable qualities worth emulating but those qualities might as well be the result of a rich and stable environment the country had over the generations. That environment was also bought by providing "safe havens for the wealth of dictators and despots, mobsters and arms dealers, corrupt officials, and tax cheats of all kinds" and staying equally un-committed to both sides in WW2 when one of them was Hitler is not something to write home either.

That wasn't the author's take on DK, that was the author's take on the pop sci version of DK, very different. It is definitely a straw man, one which David Dunning has also publicly criticized, so the author's in good company.
