The Lords Spiritual of the CofE are members of the House of Lords, which is part of the UK parliament, and not an England-only house.

Unlike the other nations, England doesn't have any independent government, so it doesn't really make sense to say that the CofE is the established church of England alone, because there is no English establishment for it to be part of.

So, the CofE is the (only) established church in and of the of UK. The fact that The Kirk and The Church in Wales are not established just means that the only bishops that get to interfere with everyone else's business are from English bishoprics.
what if the parachute falls on the module after landing ?
If you want to argue against anecdote, it's best to provide actual facts instead of your own questions. For example, only 1 in 5 drowning deaths are children, and there's no reason to assume a significant portion of those are unsupervised [1]. Should we be helicopter-observing adults instead, or do their lives matter less? Traffic accidents are the largest cumulative killer of children [2]. If you want to go the route of "how many aren't here to tell us about it" you should really be arguing that parents should avoid putting kids in or near cars as much as possible.

Children die, and that sucks a lot, but if you start making emotional appeals based on preventing all possible child deaths you're going to end up espousing that we keep all kids in padded rooms until they're adults.

So if I wanted to install Chrome or Firefox, with uBlock Origin to block ads, how hard would it be for me to do that on iOS?

That seems like a relatively simple and common thing to do for an Internet-connected device. Is the hardware capable of doing that? Is the software capable of doing that? Does Apple corporate policy allow customers to do that on the devices they own?

Ok, granted, the average mobile user does not block ads. But how about moving photos off the device, or loading existing music files onto it. Can I plug in a standard USB cable and mount even a portion of the local storage of the phone as removable storage on the desktop computer?
This is the most basic step, but even this is non-trivial. There are multiple ways of password protecting a zip, ZipCrypto is insecure and not all software supports AES-256. Self-extractors will get stopped by AV and sometimes even password protected zips (as the AV can't read them).

You then have to communicate the password out-of-band, as emailing it would defeat the purpose. It may be hard to read over the phone and you have to trust it was not written down and the file is not then stored/forwarded unencrypted. Explaining the process to someone non-technical may be challenging.

Symmetric crypto is a mess, asymmetric would be great if secure key exchange could be easy. If only the software was as ubiquitous as zip handling is in the OS.
Ask HN: What do you call the bar of hearts seen in the game, Zelda?
Hey all my fellow RPG gamer friends out there. I was wondering what would you call the bar of hearts seen in the Zelda game series?

I'm trying to figure out what most folks would call it for a UI element in an app that I'm building.
Honest question: what is the objective, per-child risk of that happening? I don't have data for that, but I would be shocked if it was anything except exceedingly low, on the order of getting killed in a commercial aircraft crash.
No word on who was arrested or who their victims were.

All we have to confirm the story is political posturing from two global superpowers over an arrest in a third country. This sounds like the opening act of a cold war era political struggle. War by proxy, etc.

Can we please not repeat that chapter in history?

Or, if we're going to do so, at least not use hackers as the pawns in this sick game? I'd appreciate at least that much.

Individuals most likely not to have the required ID are poor, and while the ID itself may be free of charge, the burden of obtaining it is not. Once you factor in time waiting, traveling and lost wages (many people don't have paid leave in the U.S.), that ID may very well cost them $75 - $400. For those living pay check to pay check, that may be a considerable amount of money. That's not necessarily the same burden as taking time off to vote, as most individuals won't need to, as their polls open early or after working hours unlike a DMV. Most states also have time off to vote laws, and some even require that it's paid time off.

Let's say you want to obtain a voter ID in South Carolina, for example, because you have no other photo ID. You'll need to present a birth certificate. What, can't find yours? Good luck, you'll need a photo ID to obtain a new copy of that birth certificate.

Perhaps you are an 18-year old high schooler in Alabama eligible to vote for the first time. You don't have a driver's license, because you can't afford a car and don't drive. Your closest DMV is 40 miles away and only open one day out of the week. There's no public transportation, so you'll have to coordinate a ride with someone who can take you on a day the DMV is open. Previously, this voter would be able to show up to their polling site on the day of the election with a bank statement and vote.

It would be one thing if voter fraud was prevalent and all these new measures needed enacted, but there isn't. The rate of fraud in U.S. elections is close to zero. Instead, they're yet another set of hurdles voters, particularly minorities and the poor, face when asserting their right to vote.
> How many kids swam unsupervised, jumped off rocks and rode down steep hills and didn't return home?

Very few. Those who have a tendency to do things that get them killed ... get killed and eliminated from the gene pool.

Everybody who is around now mostly knows how to judge risk. Yeah, we'll have some cuts, bruises, broken bones, etc. but it's very rare that someone does something so profoundly stupid that they get themselves killed.

Just because you heard about it on the news doesn't mean it's common. If one kid out of 10,000 gets himself killed this way, you'd get a dozen kids nationally offing themselves daily, but in reality that's a very small number and in truth, the real number is probably much less.

I think that at this point in time the internet is an integral part of "the real world".
They take up farming, of course. Having explored the most 'modern' parts of society they're ready for a new challenge. Also, having dealt with virtuality for so long it is time for a dose of reality.

Me, I bought a farm in Sweden. Harvest is in, manure has been spread, looking to grow my first 'beer crop' (barley and hops) within a few years. The forest needs some attention but that is what winter is for.

What comes around, goes around. Programmers (and developers and architects and others of similar ilk) turn to the land while farmers are surrounding themselves with technology. GPS-controlled tractors, milk robots, ID-based cow feeders, etc. Horticulture is being robotised. Forestry will go that route soon enough, with clear-cut harvest being replaced by individual tree harvesting.

They can certainly have fun & play, and learn about falling, without falling off a roof.

The same way they can learn about the hazards of sharp things without playing on a table saw.
"Non-us" is awful broad- where exactly? Are you claiming that there are no non-US jurisdictions that have similar liability laws?
I think you underestimate how much having something tactile, with buttons and LEDs, can really shift how younger students perceive learning.

Societal behaviour like war differs from individual behaviour like 'risky play'. War, as a societal behaviour, emerges from the individual behaviour of fighting others for resources in a world of scarcity. That was a beneficial behaviour in many situations, as it prevented starvation. It would take much longer than our time within complex society has allowed to weed this behaviour out of our DNA on account of emergent behaviour.
> The differences make sense if you're deep into Prolog

They make sense academically, but they only slow down language adoption.
There's a spectrum of risk here that IMO we don't like to acknowledge. It's uncomfortable to say that accepting a certain quantity of seriously injured or even killed children actually does come with benefits to those who aren't hurt. But I think we shouldn't shy away from this calculus, we should rather be clear-eyed about the fact that we have chosen to minimise risk, and have accepted the trade-off of reduced independence, joy, and adventure.

I think we've moved in this direction organically. We have much fewer children much later in life than we used to, we do not accept child mortality, and every child is a much bigger investment (education and economic dependency into the mid twenties or later), so every life literally becomes more valuable, so we naturally hedge more and more against any risk to this life. The more we move into a high-education and EQ driven economy, the more investment each child demands, and the further this cycle perpetuates.

Personally, I would not make this tradeoff, but I understand how hard it is to make this argument when faced with grieving parents who have suffered a huge loss, both emotionally and materially.
If an OLC opinion is the difference between torture and no torture or extrajudicial killing and no extrajudicial killing, it should be public.

If an elected official cites an OLC opinion as justification for torture in front of a judge and has a fighting chance of being vindicated, then I consider that OLC opinion to have the "force of the law" irrespective of any conventional technical definition.

In any case, the argument over semantics is uninteresting.

The key question posed by the report and upon which my original comment hinges is whether or not the directives, opinions, judgements, and bills informally described as "secret law" should be made transparent.

I think they should. I don't know what you think because you didn't respond to the question.
I wonder what the reasoning was for having version 2 only terminate instances (vs burning up CPU, taking disks offline, etc.)? I assume it's something to do with what Chaos Monkey is NOT trying to solve (ie. eating up CPU is caught elsewhere by another system and out of scope for Chaos Monkey now). Just trying to think it through...
That looks pretty fantastic. Definitely worth checking out.

> I am not clear on the basis of Russia's expectation that they're going to get their hacker back soon.

That expectation probably has nothing to do with the law or legal means.
> I'm not saying that things haven't gone too far the other way

Right now I don't think we can have the conversation about having gone too far—people always reply "what's the harm in being too overprotective?" To have this conversation—which I think we absolutely need to have—we first need to recognize and admit that there's real, actual harm in being too overprotective.
That's not the correct way to look at it. Those who won wars ended up more prosperous (up until very very recently) and where able to reproduce more.

I had sent my prototype gerbers to two places. Pcbway was better quality and cheaper. As a result, I gave them the rest of the production order.
At the same time we should still praise them for trying to replicate a study, which doesn't happen nearly often enough in the computer science field (aside from algorithms and data structures studies).

> a lack of options can be a luxury

Definitely. I worked for a couple of years on a startup that aimed to help people make better shopping decisions. In user interviews and tests, we really saw the pain. The technical term for this is "tyranny of choice". [1]

One important distinction here is that shopping behavior tends to fall into one of two modes, optimizer and satisficer. [2] Satisficers just want to pick something adequate; optimizers want to pick the best thing. Everybody does both, but people tend toward one side or another.

People here surely skew toward optimizer, so the problem is especially painful for us. Amazon's reviews have become so reliable that my first stop will often be something like Consumer Reports, Wirecutter, or SweetHome. Knowing that some other optimizer has already done the research lets makes me more comfortable making a satisficer-style choice.

Their hands are tied by the powerful lobbies that have sponsored their campaigns.

You really think that, say, the pharma industry's lobbyists are going to invest resources in opposing, say, reform of gerrymandering, or of alternative voting systems?

I'd say it's a LOT more likely that the obstacle is the politicians themselves, because the emergent behavior of the status quo is that it insulates incumbents from competition.
Of what happening? Having CPS called on you? I don't know, but I am as terrified of it, as your average helicopter mom would be of having their child scrape their knee, or be abducted by a stranger. I really hope the risk is as low as being abducted, though.
>When society has reached a point that anybody with internet access can, simply by 'accidentally' going to the wrong website, be exposed to imagery that really is not going to help them be well-adjusted in life, without any safeguards in place, there is something wrong.

And what's to prevent the same sort of "mentally broken" person who would host a website with NSFL images, from simply printing them off and dropping pages on the street? How were you planning on preventing your child from picking up a piece of paper on a street corner with NSFL images?

We all want to protect our children from the "real world" for as long as possible. But at some point they need to learn to cope with the fact that this world is full of disgusting people and actions.

Thing is though, how can the engineer claim this new retroencabulator is safe?

In response to, for example, this line from goodJobWalrus:

> I mean people get arrested for letting their kids go to the park or play in their own backyards, for god's sake.

Honest question: what is the objective, per-child risk of that happening? I don't have data for that handy, but I would be shocked if it was anything except exceedingly low, on the order of getting killed in a commercial aircraft crash.

My wife and I frequently struggle with the this vague fear of people turning us in to social services, because we've read a number of articles about that happening to families who were raising their kids in a way that was completely normal a couple of decades ago.

But even with all of the general societal paranoia we are saddled with, I'm almost certain that we are still statistically safe from such over-reach.

Do you mean "with TDD", by any chance?

The rest of your post says that you observed better results when tests were written before the code (rather than later). But as far as I understand, writing the tests before the code is indeed one of TDD's commandments.

Pretty cool. I've always wondered why the credit card industry never did something like this. Can you view the full number you used for a company? Like I know at least 2 businesses off the top of my head that asks for full credit card numbers for support, and then another one only wants the last four.

Which I really feel that's insecure to even ask for the full number other than when you first order.
I think it's a broader problem - too much css fluff, far too much javascript; even the simplest webpages now seem to feel the need to be miniature apps in their own right, instead of just serving the damned content already.

There are rather severe height restrictions in Mountain View because of Moffett Airfield. Despite this, there are Google buildings in the area that are at least 4-5 stories.
