To play devil's advocate, the difference between these two groups is not just their disposable income, it is their buying habits. The habits of 14-24 year olds are far less set than those of the older generations.

If you look at life time value, hooking a 14 year old on your brand (of soda, chips, shampoo, whatever) has high LTV, whereas a 45 year old will just plain buy less X.

Of course it does depend on your market. I bet the luxury car market ignores the 14-24 year olds.
How is it compared to Postman?
You're right, it's easy in strict mode. I hadn't realized this before!

In sloppy mode, there's function.arguments. You can walk the stack to find the damned function instance.
It was hard enough when Swift 1.0 was released and Google searches kept bringing up this woman, this will be worse.
Those women are personally identified so they can suffer real world embarrassment from people they know. Children in child porn are probably far more anonymous and untraceable as adults just from their images.

I think the idea of being imprisoned for viewing a picture on a website is pretty draconian. We would never stand for it if we weren't so obsessed with vilifying sexual deviants.

The argument that consumers fuel the market for producers to abuse children surely fails when there's no payment being made. Perhaps the crime should be limited to paying for it, a bit like why we don't allow payment for organ donation.
Rent control, as it exists in NYC, is a damper on how fast rent can rise (both when you're in a lease, and during vacancies of a property between tenants), for people and properties whose income/rent are below certain thresholds where the government considers them to be either paying for or capable of paying for luxury apartments.

Rent control lets you have some reasonable expectation that you can plan expenses for more than a single lease term, as well as attempting to limit how much damage to the economics of the surrounding area real estate prices are going to do (it's a commodity that is hard to increase the supply of in any great quantity, and demand far outstrips supply...this probably would eventually stabilize, but it'd be quite messy in between, and probably not in a net positive way for the city).

Absent rent control, the lower bound of prices would go up, the ceiling would not go down.
1. Have one police car hidden at point A watching for speeders.
2. Have a second 0.5 miles down the road within radio distance. If first car spots a speeder, radio to second car the description of the vehicle and attempt to pull the car over without speeding, or record license plate # in case of speed away, or stop traffic if not on a busy road until the target vehicle is pulled over.

That's all it takes huh? Do you not see the power in that?
That's been the argument against porn in general, and against strip clubs and against prostitution. Without good science behind it, it's just more made-up political rationalizing. You could equally argue the opposite that having access to porn satisfies people so they don't need to use real children. Without science, we can't know.

I recently saw an interview with a conservative Indian figure about porn where one man said "I'm not harming anyone by watching porn in my room" and the conservative man responded with "You might become corrupted and turn into a sex maniac". It sounded like hilariously backward thinking, but that's still how many people think of child porn.
I find the visual design appealing, and at a cursory glance, the list of features decent. A few questions:

- Is there a way to override the cookies of a single request? Or do you have to edit the cookie jar and the corresponding cookies get auto-sent (ie. no override)

- For authorization, do you have built-in support for OAuth 2.0 access/refresh token flows? What about OAuth 1 ?

- Do you support HTTP/2?
I covered this a little bit in the comments below, but one of the reasons I created Insomnia was because I found other tools (including Postman) to be hard to learn and use. So, for me, the main advantage is having a clean and simple (but still powerful) interface. Insomnia also has a Linux desktop app, which makes it one of the only REST clients to support all three major platforms.

Insomnia is still in early stages, so if you have any feedback or suggestions I'd love to hear!
Sure, scrypt would be much better than pbkdf2 here. But that's still no reason to not take a 200x increase in cracking cost; no matter how fast your adversary's ASICs are, there's a range of passphrase complexity where it will matter.

I think there are many many ways for a program to detect if it was loaded / infected that would not require the use of a system wide mutex -- many would not result in increasing the chance of discovery. So I think adding mutex revocation list would result in false sense of security.

While it may combat existing malware it would only be a temporary inconvenience.

Not to be too harsh, I feel like solutions like this tend to forget that these are computer programs we are talking about. The entire concept of them is to be able to do things within the constraint of the hardware. The notion that mutexes are a construct coded by a programmer one would expect to be able to make their own mutex without the help of the underlying framework/library you are using today.
> What exactly do they lose by doing this?

A huge amount of time/energy/money wasted in interviewing way too many people in a way too deep recruiting process.
The paper itself is fairly sparse but references a number of approaches for more-quickly-learning neural-net-related learning systems from ~2013 (PCAnet, SCATnet,etc).

The paper presents these and other approaches as being instances of a classical, general form, regularized regression but with the "stacked" property involving each layer iterating however many times and then the next layer changing parameters (or features) and further iterating.

From my barely-informed viewpoint, this sounds like a fascinating way to unify the earlier efforts and one which could yield a variety of other approaches - even if the particular variation they use doesn't work out. But I assume lots of more-informed people are going to be looking at this.

> The stat I was most curious about is in 9th position: SSLv3 with DES-CBC3-SHA, which accounts for 0.2% of the traffic, is a signature from Windows XP pre-sp3 clients, when SChannel didn't support TLSv1 or AES. 0.2% may seem insignificant, unless you're one of these users and the only way you will browse the internet is by first downloading Firefox from mozilla.org.

It's an interesting problem - do you disable insecure/depreciated cipher suites, with the rationale it's an insecure method to download Firefox, knowing that it's people using outdated OSs trying to get Firefox and have no alternative?

- If you disable it, these people won't have any channel to get Firefox on their machine, and arguably be less safe when browsing the internet.

- If you leave it enabled, these people are still vulnerable at (arguably) the most vulnerable point (obtaining a new browser), but then being less vulnerable going forward.

That sounds more like a cartel than a union.
The US Secret Service actively investigates online fraud. They have operations around the country investigating things like credit card fraud and identity theft. The most well known was Operation Firewall, although that happened back in 2004. They still run these operations, although it seems to be smaller scale since we haven't heard of such large busts in a while.
See the second extract, the meaning of the "Crown" is accepted include its "servants or agents", which would include the police, the government, the armed forces, etc.

Crown servant is defined in the Official Secrets Act for the purposes of that act, but nonetheless useful for our edification, N.B. section (e):

In this Act "Crown servant" means -

(a) a Minister of the Crown;

[(aa) a member of the Scottish Executive or a junior Scottish Minister;]

[(ab) the First Minister for Wales, a Welsh Minister appointed under section 48 of the Government of Wales Act 2006, the Counsel General to the Welsh Assembly Government or a Deputy Welsh Minister;]

(b) . . .

(c) any person employed in the civil service of the Crown, including Her Majesty's Diplomatic Service, Her Majesty's Overseas Civil Service, the civil service of Northern Ireland and the Northern Ireland Court Service;

(d) any member of the naval, military or air forces of the Crown, including any person employed by an association established for the purposes of [Part XI of the Reserve Forces Act 1996];

(e) any constable and any other person employed or appointed in or for the purposes of any police force [(including the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the Police Service of Northern Ireland Reserve)][or of the Serious Organised Crime Agency];

(f) any person who is a member or employee of a prescribed body or a body of a prescribed class and either is prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph or belongs to a prescribed class of members or employees of any such body;

(g) any person who is the holder of a prescribed office or who is an employee of such a holder and either is prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph or belongs to a prescribed class of such employees.
That's a bit of my point. In America, we allow far too many to get to a place where they have nothing left to lose. I'm not sure if Basic Income is the answer. Perhaps an actual mental health system. Whatever the solution, the status quo in the USA is shameful.
> art project and sound camps can have budgets that are upwards to a million dollars. Ya, no joke. The ugly truth of Burning Man is that it needs rich people but it does not want its culture

Super flashy art installations and professional quality music acts aren't integral to the burning man core ethos, while radical self-sufficiency is. One might even contend that large-budget things condition people to act as consumers of culture, which is certainly anti-burning-man.
Thanks for the compliment! Having good UI/UX was my first goal for Insomnia so I'm glad to see it's working.

Connected to 97 thefts of bikes valued from $1k to $12k, including taking only "the most expensive one" of the several owned by the fella interviewed in that story.

Although he really was exploiting a weakness, in that people figured their bikes would be safe in their closed-up garages. I wonder if a good lock would have been enough to make him move on to the next target on his list.

Apparently it is ALREADY legal for the police to run the pornography ring, in order to catch people.
I thought that "hundreds of thousands" living in a rent controlled or stabilized apartment in Manhattan was too high, but came away surprised.

From a 2015 article only a tiny percentage of units are rent-controlled, but around 47% of rental units on the market are rent-stabilized.[1] The problem is that the statistics refer to the entire city (all five boroughs), and may not necessarily be specific to Manhattan itself.

EDIT: Found a Furman Center report from 2011 on rent-regulated units[2]. The key table is on page 2 broken down by borough, where Manhattan rent-regulated units account for 48% of the total rental units. The same table shows a breakdown by neighborhood too.

Well, yes, there is that. Unfortunately, IRC channels have enforced topics: those of us who are on HN more so for the cool tech stuff, and less so for the startups cannot contribute to the forum: This is why things like HN Chat are useful: the enforced topics, if any, are broad enough for the HN community to all be able to talk. Although, once again, they would do well to be more integrated with established communications technologies (IRC, etc.).

Rent control. My great aunt paid something like $180/month for her apartment when she died in 2003. She had lived there since circa 1940 and raised 6 kids in it!

The key is to have a support network so that you can remain in your home. Nursing homes and homecare in NYC are a horror show for a variety of reasons.

Yes, but you can also get reverse network effects, e.g. young people not being active on Facebook because their parents are there (and denying a friend request would be awkward).
I think it's similar to ivory resale. It's illegal to sell ivory, and other endangered species products, even though the particular animal may have been killed before a ban. Because the market itself attracts new product.

>I'm certain it is a biological vagary. There should be a better way to treat people that are a certain way because of biology and not choice

But that brings up the entire question of how much anyone truly has a conscious choice in any of their actions. A lot of evidence is pointing to 'free will' being an illusion our conscious minds uphold to make us feel like we are in control.[0]

In the end I doubt very much there is a specific set of genes that causes one to be a pedophile, just as there isn't a set of genes that makes someone a murderer or thief. There's perhaps at best some genes that may pre-dispose a person towards pedophilia (though I doubt it), but clearly a persons environment is going to be the biggest determiner. It's well known that most child abusers were abused themselves.

So until we start looking on all criminals as people that need to be treated and cured of their condition, it doesn't make sense to treat pedophiles that way.

Having quite a bit of experience with the DSM since DSM-II, the article gives a fairly coherent history of the document, and is correct that the advent of DSM-III signaled a radical departure from the earlier, and much less useful versions.

The theoretical underpinnings have been an issue in hot debate since the DSM-III was in preparation. The deliberately descriptive nature of the classification has been opposed by many critics who favor a more "casual" medical classification or proponents of other theoretical systems.

Stakeholders in the recent and very prolonged gestation of DSM-5 fell into two main groups, let's call them researchers vs. clinicians, or splitters vs lumpers. The splitters were groups interested in having very specific criteria that sharply distinguished diagnostic categories which of course suits research agendas. OTOH clinicians, aka lumpers, were more interested in the intermediate cases, like typical patients, that don't fit into highly distinct categories at all well.

An alternative scheme was dimensional classification, which runs orthogonally to the standard descriptive schema, inasmuch as behavioral dimensions such as low mood are frequently encountered among many existing disorders. To clinicians this idea had much appeal since it would most usefully reflect symptom-oriented treatment modalities.

Whatever scheme is chosen it will have shortcomings. There is really insufficient information at present to form a basis for any given theoretical approach. It is quite apparent that there are biological, social, physical, political and other phenomena that contribute to development of illness of all kinds, including psychiatric disorders.

In this brief comment it's barely possible to scratch the surface of the concepts and assumptions underlying the idea of "mental illness", however I think the article is discussing issues tangential to those confronting psychiatrists who grapple with management of the very disorderly nature of psychiatric disorders.

The present diagnostic scheme is a practical compromise of many points of view about disorders in general and specific disorders in detail. The DSM is the field's attempt to find a language to discuss the great challenges in understanding and healing very complex situations about which science has only fragments of information.

IMO the relevance of the thousands of "theories" concerning human behavior is yet to be determined. We need to have a great deal more knowledge about the functional connections of the human organism in consideration of the near-infinite range of neural, endocrine and immune system signaling and interaction before it's appropriate to establish meaningful theories in the human behavioral domain.
This attitude is why it's so hard to have a sensible conversation about child porn. Change the subject to torture, murder, genocide or any number of far worse things and people won't get so emotionally wound up. There's something about child porn that bring out the jungle in people beyond proportion. There's nothing wrong with throwing ideas around in a discussion. Nobody here is going to go rape a child just because they talked about the definition of rape.
Thank you that looks like exactly what I need.

It's nothing specific to PH. You have things like entire families living on the streets, more crime, poverty, corruption & ignorance. Growing up in the typical SEA public school isn't good from an education and safety standpoint.

While growing up somewhere like the typical Canadian, Singaporean or German school system and environment is significantly safer and healthier.

The USA is a shit show with it being the 3rd world in some schools, and being pretty much a public school with private school levels of education & pressure.

You can live the private international school, gated community and chauffeured life to shelter the kids from that, and then send them to a western university. Or a village life to avoid a lot of that, but it still isn't great.
Usually those problems have the same root. Denmark was mentioned. It is not like the allocated better, they do better in almost every regard.
Law and order is not a 'loaded' term. That's just foolishness to think so.
Any harm resulting from the creation of said porn has already been done, and is therefore not a reason to not use it in order to reduce future harm.

Easy to say if it isn't you or your kids getting raped on video.
Ah, the immunisation-Matryoshka-doll-possibilities are endless :D

So in this scenario where they add a magic string:
1) Would this magic string be constant?
2) Would this magic string be from some generative algorithm
3) Could this magic string be random?

See the similarities between the original scenario and this one?

I guess if they were sincerely hardcore they could use a MAC on the exposed "magic string", though to do that correctly, they'd need to embed that within the actual encrypted payload, otherwise they'd be subject to the same immunisation attack of just prepending a valid, MAC'd magic-string to files when they were requested through a file handler API. Or they could use something like AES-GCM or some other authenticated encryption, though they'd have to run the decryption algorithm on every file to obtain the AAD)
> He can rest assured that the USA never saw France as no2 in anything, except maybe gastronomy.

I think in your haste to put down France you misread the quote which in fact states what you say later on in your response. Here's the quote again:

> "Chancellor Merkel is important. If the NSA was not surveying her communications, it was only because it was unable to do so," "How could the NSA not want to listen in on the person rated by Forbes as the second most powerful person in the world after President Obama?”

It's quite clear to me that they're referring to Merkel and her communication being spied upon, not the French President.
