This is not true. Snowden had to fly to Russia and live there for three years before a hypothetical pardon. If that is the minimum for the possibility of a pardon, I don't think many people would find that emboldening.
I can't do movies either. 2 hours is way too long to focus on a single thing.
Oh yeah, I agree. Correction accepted. I figured they'd like option to see it for themselves. :)

That's exactly right, here's a real-world example:

But the worst cases are those like Long's: when the person is suddenly barred from flying when they are outside of the US, often on the other side of the world. As a practical matter, that government act effectively exiles them from their own country. "Obviously, I can't get to Oklahoma from Qatar if I can't fly," said Long. "Trying to take a boat would take weeks away from work just for the travel alone, and it's not affordable. If I can't fly, then I can't go back home."

Oh, I totally understand that. I'm not saying that there aren't people who are legit busy all the time, just that people who aren't will invent ways to end up with no time left and feel like they need more, even though they are deliberately wasting time.

Note that I'm also not saying that people's priorities aren't differently or that any of them are wrong.

To re-use my example, having fresh vegetables every day is awesome, it's just that going to the supermarket for them every single day is a waste of time. Even every other day is a huge improvement and doesn't result in the vegetables being any worse off. That 30-60 minutes saved every second day could have been spent with her son instead, as she clearly desires. But something in her mind kept her in the same cycle, "busy" all the time.
So someone didn't tell you that it is OK to fail sometimes, as long as a lesson is learned.

That is hard to convey but priceless if done right.
I just don't see how pursuing a complaint of racial discrimination against an organisation like the CIA is wise. This guy is obviously more courageous or naive than I am.

Unless you're beyond reproach, they will find a way to lynch you. Maybe even if you've done everything right. Going beyond official channels and trying to get revenge against the CIA seems suicidal.
Sometimes that IS needed.

I had a problem with a particular bully, that was a huge guy, but sucked in a fight, after being defeated multiple times in "fair" fights, he still kept bulling us.

So one day, I hit him inside the classroom with a chair.

This immediately stopped bullying inside the classroom, but he still kept bullying me elsewhere.

So during a field trip one day, when he started bulling me, I punched him in the ear, he grew furious and started to threathen me, so I pulled a switchblade from my pocket, and showed to him, and I was pissed off enough to do that with "honesty" (ie: it wasn't a bluff, I actually was in the mood to stab him if he continued his behaviour).

He never bullied me again. (teachers wisely put us away from each other though... and other students didn't even noticed what happened, none of the other students saw I was carrying a blade with me).

Eventually he got expelled from the school though, for other stunts he did (like showing for class at 7:00 in the morning already super drunk, and vomiting so much that you could figure what he drunk by looking at it and the smell... it was vodka mixed with Coca-Cola)

Also, once a kid kept stealing my sister stuff, and once threw my sister into some construction materials.

My sister one day took with her the ball of her mouse (remember those?), and when the kid stole her food, she waited the kid to turn around, and then promptly launched the ball against the back of his neck, knocking him immediately to the ground.

Also worked wonders, never the kid bullied my sister again.

EDIT: explaining the "bullying us" in my first phrase: in school there was several kids that went to Kung Fu school, they invited me and I joined too. The bully had the bad decision of choosing us (kung fu students) as his target, maybe unaware of that fact, thus he kept attacking us, and kept getting defeated (for example once he picked on the smallest guy of us, the guy weighed so little that he couldn't participate in kung fu competitions because he was 15kg too light for the lightest category... he defeated the bully with a continuous flurry of kicks that left the bully white t-shirt with several muddy shoeprints... the bully actually kept fighting, and another bully had to physically drag him away from the fight, otherwise he would kept advancing and getting kicked until he was seriously hurt)
it does if you force all DNS traffic to GCHQ's servers. Britain has shown repeatedly that it can force ISPs into doing what it wants.
chilling effects need to be kept in perspective; for example, while I'm completely fearless about telling off the govt whenever I wish, no way I'm going to reveal how I feel about Snowden to the HN community: I'd be ostracized!

It's amusing because there's hardly any html. Instead of using platform features like template it uses a meta-framework that seeks to make html an implementation detail.

what reasons make you believe Apple is past its prime? And what hi companies are in their prime right now do you think?
And you can worry about someone falling down the stairs and breaking their neck, or catching some disease from open wounds, or the bully is unstable and decides to go on a killing spree.

There comes a point where you have to stop picking out unlikely scenarios and using them as a wet blanket.

NOTE: The site is an organization sponsored by Russia. But the researcher is well respected with a Ph.D. from Harvard. His 2015 paper was published in PNAS and reviewed by very respectful people. This article is a preview of his upcoming paper.

Where did you see this proven to be false???

It's sad how critics and whistleblowers have media blackout in USA and only can do it via Russian agencies or Al-Jazeera.
Probably the best nurse or firefighter. But it would still be better to be a researcher working on third world medical problems or designer of efficient fire fighting systems.
It does help. A lot. It's easily the best option out there. It's still just really frustrating to have to buy a $150 device that's more expensive than any of the disparate devices I am trying to control in the first place (save the TV). That said, given today's state of things, it's worth it.
>Surely a bullied child won't be invited to the popular kids clique

My fear is that they indeed will be invited as a joke, only to meet with in-person rejection. Along the lines of "HAHAHA you thought that was a real invitation?".

Some of the skills they list are pretty hilarious:

There's something called a Meat Butler.
My take: it's almost certainly not a battle worth fighting. If it is worth fighting, hire an attorney. If it isn't, devote energy elsewhere and consider it a lesson learned.

I'd give the same advice if it was a local restaurant rather than a mega-corp.
> Rather than walking into the next room and yelling up the stairs like a neanderthal.

The main use case I had in my mind is when my son is sleeping, shouting is undesirable. It would just be really convienent.
Some of these time claims are comically wrong.

The average man spends nowhere near 90 minutes a day on 'attire and grooming.'

Most people don't work out an hour a day either.

Laundry? No way that's 2 hours per week.

Most people don't cook every meal either. And making a sandwich or pouring a bowl of cereal sure as hell don't take 30 minutes.

Here are some actual statistics that weren't randomly pulled out of my ass and subsequently upvoted on Hacker News:

They only accounted for 40 hours for work. What professional today is only spending 40 hours working and/or increasing their skills related to work? Especially if you are on HN.

2 hours for dependents? I take it that doesn't mean children?

Another thing I will never understand is how so many of my fellow American Males can watch basically every football game during the week. Who has time for that? I don't even have a single friend outside of my family because it's just too time consuming.
Yea, it depends on where you live. I always seemed to get into a fight the first day of school. I actually hated the days up to the first day of school, but once that fight was finished--everything went smoothly, but looking back I grew up in Mayberry.

My nephew goes to a public middle school in Los Angeles. He just had to mention gangs, I couldn't give him any advice. I told him, I would just avoid the bullies in school. If it was my kid, I would home school him.

I've never understood bullies. There's a lot of adults who are bullies. Just some mean, unhappy people in the world? It seems like every job I have ever been at has a one male, or female that just needs to cause conflict. They do it subtly, but there's always they one jerk. I hate to admit this, but my father was a bully. He was o.k. to me, but seemed to ride anyone that wasen't just like him.
This could be extremely useful:

"Alexa, if you hear my wife and the neighbor having sex, file divorce paperwork, and get me on the next flight to Barbados."
So you get hurt. Man up. It's on you to get out of a bad situation. Better to learn that early in life.
Simply put, there's a difference between bullies who hope you won't escalate and bullies who know you can't escalate. Both types exist, often in the same places.

That debate will always be at the forefront of security. In the 19th century, when the first professional police departments were established, people were outraged and convinced that the police were there to take away their liberty.

It doesn't excuse all action to improve security, but we do have to occasionally align our security with modern standards. What would happen if we left all cybersecurity (including banks, power systems, etc) to the private sector?

And then, where do we draw the line? Is it okay for the FBI to target people who visit a child pornography site? Most would say yes... People who download The Anarchist's Cookbook? Probably another yes. But what about collecting info on the people who supported that whole ordeal with Clive Bundy? Or people who belong to a non-state sponsored militia? That's where the line starts to gray for many. The point being, it's never cut and dry.
>We salute the flag and sing the national anthem at games. We have the presidents' pictures on the walls of our classrooms. We chant "USA" at political rallies.

That does sound very authoritarian, honestly. Maybe that's why there are so many libertarians in the US - it's a reaction to the authoritarianism in American culture.

Leading society is best done by leaders, not by followers told to train to be good. A leader trains because he wants to or perceives a need.

The whole trick is in instilling such motivation in gifted children instead of the opposite message.
And with lobbying you allow whoever has the most cash to 'educate' politicians to shape laws in their favor.

There has to be a better way.
> if all VPNs are blocked

If VPNs are blocked then DNS filtering likely is not your only problem. You would already be behind a something akin to the great firewall.

And you also have to consider that when you start using counter-measures then you're already retreating and relying on foreign, more-free societies to support you. What if they succumb to the same thing too which obviously is not so far-fetched since it already happened to your society?

Take a look at Apple Music again. They just started doing two personal weekly playlists (like Spotify's Discover Weekly). One is full of tracks you haven't listened to before (it seems pretty good so far) and the other is a weekly 'favourites' mix which seems to be 90% stuff in your library and 10% stuff not in your library but by artists you like (e.g. new releases). It's really good. I was using a mix of Spotify and Apple Music but with iOS 10 I've dropped Spotify as recommendations will improve if I'm using one service and the new weekly playlist seem to be as good as Discover Weekly which was all the was holding me back.
Agreed. I feel like this is a "can't see the forest for the trees" story. A median moving a few percent is pretty much meaningless in the context of the many millions who are struggling and suffering. The fundamental causes of inequality are not being addressed.
Saving changes may be a bit harder these days with all the transpiling going on.

I'm with you. When they launch, to demonstrate the functionality, they need some functions, which means partners. Obviously there are near infinite applications of "Alexa, ask X to do Y". Zapier and Iffft have made entire businesses out of a much more annoying way to do this.

Prior to the global financial crisis, Neoclassical Economists, i.e. the ones running the US Fed, would not even consider the level of private debt as a significant macroeconomic metric. That's changed slightly, but not really. They still delusionally believe that private debt doesn't matter UNLESS there's an exogenous shock which forces interest rates to the zero lower bound. They seem unwilling to accept the reality that rising private debt drives macroeconomic demand and that stabilizing or reducing private debt triggers an endogenous crisis a la Hyman Minsky's financial instability hypothesis.
However, GM took the decision not to launch in the UK. :(
No, you can only make those claims about defendants who in the past have attempted to blow the whistle on something and who then subsequently also got convicted for something else.

Given that the number of whistle-blowers is relatively small and that as a rule their lives turn to merry hell after they blow their whistle and that not rarely they are then prosecuted for something unrelated the claim is in fact not about 'pretty much any prosecution', even though you could make that claim that's not what I did.

I make the - simple to verify - claim that whistle-blowers tend to be punished in ways that have at first sight nothing to do with their blowing the whistle.

In fact I think you will find it rather harder to find examples of whistle-blowers that did not find some form of retaliation (through legal means or otherwise) on their path.
Since I honestly don't know enough about this topic, it would be nice if you can mention the other companies. I just mention OpenAI because they are a prominent organization which happen to have both open and AI in their name.

Maybe I am also not being very clear, but I am actually visualizing a game which is popular enough to attract a lot of gameplay, but has gameplay elements which are actually the kinds of things which the AI problems are trying to solve. E.g. imagine capturing gameplay from a popular multiplayer drone game to improve drone navigation.

Drones apparently don't fly very well autonomously.

http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/drones/skydio-ca...

Now, imagine if it were possible to get open data where any researcher or group could work on this problem using a gameplay dataset. Perhaps someone with an unexpected take on the problem could make some important contribution?
I've been trying to find this (and I've been using iOS 10 since June). Is it possible Apple has made lyrics a US only feature for now (which would be bizarre)?
Mind you, I'm talking about how companies like Google and Facebook treat the people in their "Software Engineer" role, here. They already have a minimum hiring bar that ensures "formal training and degrees", and in fact ensures the skills themselves. They do ridiculous technical interviews that ensure the "average programmer" at these companies could probably code every part of the distributed system underlying a NASA Mars rover mission by themselves.

And then, having found all this great talent, they let it rot, under-employed in maintenance work. Because they were hired to "do programming", not to "do data science" or "do machine-learning" or any of the other 'specialized disciplines' that they could totally pick up given about two hours, given how freakishly intelligent they already have been proven to be.

(If you're wondering, this isn't bitterness; I've never worked for these companies myself. I'm just summarizing a number of rants I've heard from others.)
Here's a thought that ends up with exactly the opposite view...

Does someone really need to build a computer that carries out the simulation for a universe to be “real”? If there is a set of rules defining a universe, one can say that the universe already exists without having to simulate it.

The same goes for universes that are capable of life that can simulate other universes nested inside them. And, indeed, universes nested three times, four times, all the way to infinity.

There number of nested universes is a much larger infinity that the number of non-nested "root" level universes. Thus, picking a universe at random (ours), the probability that it is a simulation is 1.

Definitely. Also, getting a new car that prioritizes reliability is a smart move as well. The author didn't do this though. A nice(imo) new car can be had for less than ~$25k and his $40k tells me he wanted something a little more flashy. I agree these overextended purchases usually come down to someone's ego getting in the way. A direct consequence of our "what you buy defines you" culture.
Hopefully you'll get the message, and stop being an asshole.

Bullies were once a necessary part of a clan. They separated the males who could/would fight from those who couldn't/wouldn't. Your fighting force determined your clan's survival rate. That was only 15,000 years ago.
You're right. It stands for Heil Hitler. Nazis apparently tattoo this kind of shit on their heads.
The average number of emails you must send before a subscriber starts to consider you safe to buy from.. Eight.

Assuming one's health has an even higher threshold, and that a pharma company can't exactly cold email everyone in the U.S, well... That's a lot of commercials to get the word out. That's 800,000+ doctors to educate on a new option..

Marketing always goes hand in hand with product development.

I'd rather have a pharma company that's still in business charging $30,000/mo for a solution vs a company that charged the minimum, and thus has thrown away any chances of making successful products in the future.
Yeah, destruction of evidence and seafood smuggling are just everyday activities.

(those are both real examples from the book...whether there was a great deal of intent in the lobster tail case is disputed, but it was a pattern of shipments involving thousands and thousands of pounds of tails)
