I really think the problem is binary worldview. Trump shows a very binary worldview either your great can't do no wrong or your horrible and can't do no good. So nothing good can come from an opposing side. This hurts in any kind of collaboration and drags our national government to stalemates and laws that could make a suspected terrorist your don't get to buy guns to be staled.

The logical facility is genetic

You judged something as either good or bad on the basis of where it comes from, or from whom it came.

I'm with Barclays, and I don't have any overdraft. The only way I can go into an unarranged overdraft is if I run out of funds in between the transaction being approved and actually clearing - if I don't have enough funds at the moment when I use the card, the card just gets declined.

There is a serious problem with this stuff on the Internet, but there are existing private solutions you can install either on devices or routers to address this question. Have you tried these solutions and how well do they work?

The big problem is: how far do you extend the block?

I mean, if you let me write the blocklist I'd put the Daily Mail on it (persistent racism, homophobia/transphobia leading to suicide, and the sexually exploitative "sidebar of shame" commenting on women's bodies). I can't imagine getting universal support for that opinion. Other people might go in the other direction and demand that all material that even mentions homosexuality be banned.

If I had kids, I'd definitely want to block them from reddit and 4chan until at least mid-teens. I note that, on my EE mobile phone, there is some URL filtering that blocks NSFW subreddits (and also a few random blogs for no discernable reason). But it only works on http, not https, making it kind of a figleaf.

Second real, difficult to address problem: use of social media for bullying. This includes nonconsensual circulation of nudes (tricky one: should be severely punished, but not by putting kids on the sex offender registry).

I went to school in an era when, if you wanted to get adult material off the internet, you had to wait for the guy who had the modem to download it to floppy disks and circulate it in the playground. Now consider trying to block "samizdat" porn on SD cards.

(Also, wasn't there a thing on HN a while back about attempting and failing to automatically detect people building penises in LEGO's MMO?)

>My current Macbook Pro cost me about £1100. No part of it is user serviceable so it's disposable.

In that sense maybe, but not in the "low quality" sense (which disposable also implies, e.g. disposable razors etc). Besides modern cars are not "user serviceable" like 70s cars for the most part either, but they are not "disposable".

>My first Apple laptop, a Titanium Powerbook was almost 3 times that.

The overall price for the high end laptops on the market dropped since the Titanium powerbook though, and modern MBPrs are still priced at the high end segment of today's prices.

You can't expect 1999 prices for a 2016 computer when the tech innovations make both low and high end products more affordable all the time.

>My point was the company isn't what it once was, it's not a high end tech company for the few but a disposable tech company for the many.

"High end tech company" does not necessitate "user serviceable".

The tech in the Mac, compared to the average laptop, is way higher, and the engineering process to build a new MacBook Pro Retina model (from the machining to the logic board, batteries, etc) is far more advanced. Hence, high end of the market.

Nor was the Mac ever "for the few" -- it was always intended as a mass market PC, for those with the money to spare, not just some tinkering propellerhead elite ("the computer for the rest of us"). Heck, they even sold cheaper models back in the day (the Mac Classic, the original iMac, etc).
I'd recommend Approval Voting, it has fairly good properties from the perspective of Social Choice.
The current canon of legal psychiatric drugs won't ever cure the underlying issue that causes the symptoms.

The only things that come close to that are the psychedelics -- psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, etc. They have been outlawed but of course, the underground therapy community has been keeping them alive and we should see legalization for the treatment of things like PTSD within the next 5 years.

Ellen Pao is free to boycott Thiel if she wishes. It becomes a gray area when she boycotts third parties. The only reason why it's a gray area though is because she has little to no power over them.

A boycott is fair if it is below. Consumers choosing not to buy products, investors deciding not to buy stock, halting a newspaper subscription or not associating with former friends.

But a boycott from above is a tyranny. Firing employees for their political views, trying to get your mutual friends to disassociate with your former friend.
Government, this is VPN. VPN, meet government. You guys aren't going to get along but I thought you should know about each other.

Well, that's something that is missing from the UK law - there should be some sort of guarantee that everyone will have access to at least basic banking services. At the moment banks are at liberty to close any account for any reason.
> Something has to be done.

This is something. Therefore, this has to be done.

Before internet porn became a thing, we were warned by various people about the harm that pornography does, and in particular, how it increases the incidence of rapes and sexual assaults, and is bad for the status of women in society. It was being proposed that it be banned outright.

Now that pornography is widespread, and free, has there been an explosion of rapes and sexual violence?

The UK Government which is allegedly proposing this is led by a woman. So are the governments of Scotland, Germany, Norway, and various other countries. I expect the United States will soon have a president who is a woman. I don't think the status of women has suffered.

The UK Government now has its work cut out mitigating the harm caused by the EU referendum vote. It should be concentrating on that and mitigating its impact.
I can imagine a good ad for it

"If we had Ranked Choice Voting last election, we wouldn't have Paul LePage today."
The chilling part is when this measure "works" in everybody psyche guilt and makes all people feel they are guilty unless proven innocent (of a non-crime, but for social engineering purposes that last bit is irrelevant). It's really hard to believe this is for real.
There are already laws in place for this in the UK. Whether parents or others follow these is a different issue.
I assume this uses the crypto libs in the Go standard lib to do the SEC part of DNSSEC. It used to be that the Go authors urged caution when using those libs because they were relatively new and unaudited. Has that changed? Are they recommended for use in production for security critical apps?
> Assume 10% of transactions are Amex.

Big assumption. Amex is not commonly used outside the US. I reckon you could safely cut that to 5%, if not less.

No, that's what Clinton has repeatedly said throughout the debates.
I am amazed by the aggressiveness from both sides this time around.

People aren't even talking to each other anymore or listening. No one seems to want to find out why someone would pick a certain candidate over the other. Very sad and scary.
Handling cash has its own logistical overhead, though, so this is debatable.
Download as much as you can now and put it on an encrypted harddisk. Or move.
The Raspberry Pi is really a VideoCore IV processor with an ARM bolted on the side. At power on, a boot ROM loads an embedded OS image into the VC4 processor. That then sets up the hardware, powers up the ARM, and loads the OS image into that. The VC4 then continues running in the background servicing RPCs from the ARM.

What this is is a replacement VC4 operating system image which just fires up the ARM with an embedded image, sets it running, and then halts (assuming I'm understanding the docs correctly); so it can't (yet) actually load an OS into the ARM from disk or respond to RPCs etc.

In practical terms, this is the biggest, most difficult step forward towards running an almost completely open system on the RPi. (It could also be used as the core of a proper operating system running on the VC4 itself, which could be rather interesting.)
>Should politicians refuse to do anything that was not in their campaign leaflets?

It would be great, yes.

They could also ask the public anew when such a thing emerges...

>In my opinion, this is a very unlikely hypothetical. I'm from a country that is not a member of the ESA - never met a person yet that doesn't know what it is, or stands for.

For real? Where did you ask, inside the ESA headquarters?

The average EU citizen has absolutely no idea what ESA is or does.
I am afraid the ability of people to write hard to read code is infinite. If you are using Elixir in a production project your team can set a guideline to always use () I have not looked into it but it also likely can be enforced by a linter.
I would have thought there would have been a technology transfer amongst the spacefaring nations, so that just in case they could dock with each other.
I don't know if the Internet is the problem here. When I was a kid me and my friends accidentally found massive amounts of porn-mags in the small woods close to our school. Fun and exciting we thought, not really in a sexual way. doesn't matter.

Should we ban porn mags too? Or should we ban urban areas? Or regulate how you legally can dispose of porn-mags? I've also accidentally seen people being too drunk, and people having heart attacks. As a kid.. how should we protect people from seeing things? it's the wrong line of thinking.
Notes from International Conference on Functional Programming 2016
Serious question: how would you improve the syntax while maintaining their feature set (which is not huge, but includes a few important things)?

I understand that C++ lambda syntax can be confusing on first encounter, but after reading about them for five minutes it should be very naturally comprehensible to any experienced C++ programmer. It's terse, but very clear.
I think the problem (at least theoretically) is that second-choice votes are not weighted. It could've been e.g. 1 for first choice, 0.5 for second and so on. Because obviously your second choice candidate is not as good to you as the first one, but some not-so-good candidates can get more votes. In fact I can even see some potential patterns for manipulation here.
Start with http://www.snopes.com/2016/10/18/project-veritas-election-vi... and go from there regarding the validity of these videos. tl;dr is that the 'reporter' in this case has a history of making misleading videos by collecting out of context quotes and then splicing in different video segments that make these out of context ones seem sinister.
Not sure of the (technical) feasibility of this, but I have some social observations.

It seems the motivating factor, ostensibly, is to protect children. However, the primary concern of those who don't like this seems to be with leaks and possible ensuing shaming. So, if the stigma attached to watching (non illegal) porn is done away with, the fear of leak becomes irrelevant. If protecting children is paramount then society must do away with silly witch hunts and being so anal (no pun intended).

While we are at it, why restrict to porn and why not extend to all things abusive to kids, including violence, racism, stupid stunts and pranks etc referenced by many other posters? Seems porn gets targeted almost always! imagine if porn were a person in the west, they would have sued the heck out of everyone.
Visa/MasterCard won't beat Amex for Amex cards. Amex can charge whatever they want because they completely own the card network (as opposed to transactions going through the traditional traditional interchange for Visa and MasterCard). Because of that you have to work with them to accept Amex cards, and while an acquirer can help, the only real way to save on fees is to work directly with Amex.
No, it's not. That's the whole point. People are stepping up and saying "No, we do not have to accept this" and other people are shitting bricks.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING: We are on Hacker News where we should care about data.

Show some kind of data of this happening in a national campaign in America???? Show one election at a state or national level where this has happened. Also show how this happens? The only place this would even matter for President is in swing states. Show data and process then we can talk.

Right now your doing the best North Korean Propaganda ever and undercutting democracy with no data to show anything is rigged.

I prefer democracy and don't prefer a dictator. Why is it okay to destroy the American system to make it great again?
I'm so relieved the consensus is negative here.
This says a lot about society, but possibly not in the way you think, or in the way that the discussion was aimed.

This is not a gender issue (there may be gender issues, but this is not one of them).
It's wrong to support a popular political party that you don't like?

At the end of the day, campaign funding only works because non-thinking American voters just vote for whoever appears on their TV the most often. Thiel isn't buying votes. Voters are just too lazy to make their own decisions.
For macOS users, there is a very lightweight app called, appropriately enough, SelfControl [1]. Add the domains you'd like to block to the blacklist, then set the amount of time you'd like them blocked.

Another thing that helps me focus is Chrome's user profiles (and the main reason I haven't migrated to Safari). I maintain both 'Work' and 'Play' profiles -- that separation helps limit the urge to cycle through my bookmark bar.

A new sector arising, I suspect.
Agreed, but in their defense: it could still be true. More extremely: being a hypocrite doesn't make you wrong; it just makes you a hypocrite.
Certainly, although that's bound to happen with anything that offers easy scaling. If you put your build artifacts on S3, it just works... all the way up into petabytes. You skip all the intermediate steps you'd otherwise have (like having to get purchase orders signed for petabytes worth of hard drives).

Also, in AWS' defense, you won't hear stories about startups using them and having expensive developers sitting on their hands waiting for hardware. Probably a lot of startups only start (or get funding) because of the low barrier to entry AWS provides.

It's not about banning anything. It's about restricting access to minors. It's never been legal in the UK for minors to buy porn mags or videos in a store.
Many don't. Unfortunately.
Since when people cannot chose their favorite candidate without being ostracised?
None of this is really new, it's just proof is finally coming out. The problem is Trump is so dislikable that it shadows how dislikable Clinton is herself. If the GOP had put forward anyone else other than Trump (and maybe Cruz), this would not even be a race. I'm baffled by people who enthusiastically support either of these two.
I think that's a big part of what needs to happen. Make these changes at the state and local level, and eventually we might see some diversity at those levels. Then we'll be able to have a conversation on the national level. Like the original comment here says, Democrats and Republicans have no incentive to push for this because they benefit from the First-Past-the-Post voting we currently have.

Given that people have already been fired/quit and others are distancing there must be some truth to these videos. Is there any link attacking the validity of the video itself and not the source?
It's difficult when one side has a clear disinterest in using facts to back up their arguments. See evgen's comment in this thread for an immediate example.

For all offices except the president, I believe all public advertising/campaigning should be restricted to people who reside in the state. No PACs, no national parties, no outside financing. The candidates are supposed to represent the people of their state, to take money or other influence from anyone else is inappropriate. I suppose this could be implemented at the state level.
The third debate most likely :). I have them at 1-1 so the winner of this debate will have won twice as many debates as the other. Small sample size I know.

If he is idiotic and has all of his points torn apart, I will have a hard time pulling the lever for him. Intelligence matters.

But if he wins, and then will have won 2 out of 3 debates against a person who spent a month home prepping for them and avoiding the people of this country, that would be very compelling.

It all depends on him making a full heel-face-turn for tonight's rubbermatch.

Glad you liked them! Despite being childless, the idea of family computing has been on my mind for a while...

Yeah, Facebook is a bad example of a family-safe network. But it has some probably-desirable aspects. A central authority that sets rules and enforces them, one place you can send complaints to. And it has aspects the net's openness too, anyone can make a page. But non-curated mass-broadcasted user content is too much openness for a truly all-ages network.

And I'm inclined to prefer a more decentralised system. One that lets groups of families, churches, schools, etc. to self-govern their networks.

>"how limited the value of a particular correlation generally proves to be"

I would go further. In my medical research work I saw dozens, probably hundreds of "statistically significant" correlations between different variables in a rather small dataset. I found them just by taking different subsets or summarizing the same data in a few different ways.

I didn't find any interesting and so published nothing about them, but I am sure others could build entire careers out of coming up with narratives to explain those correlations.

I have to think that people who have trouble finding correlations are either clueless about exploring the data (eg have only ever looked at dynamite plots of their results) or are measuring something so swamped by instrumental noise it is meaningless.
It's basically an example of what happens when you try to use Haskell concepts in Rust; the type parameters explode quickly. Most rust functions are not like that. Some are. It's not exactly bad rust to have functions like that, but such functions should probably be uncommon in your codebase.
If you believe the project veritas videos you should look harder at the source and his history of creating misleading videos. The problem is that in the US it is quite possible to get along just fine without a government-issued ID; mandating such ID can be considered a barrier to voting since it is actually inconvenient to get such an ID in the first place. Your assumption that there is massive electoral fraud in the US is simply incorrect and in fact there is far more voter fraud across Europe than there is in the US. Most voting in the US occurs in-person, and in such cases voter fraud is incredibly rare (as in less than 100 known cases over billions of ballots cast.)
The two-round French Presidential style isn't a bad idea, either. Vote for your conscience during round 1, vote defensively if you want to round 2. At least we gauge the popularity of the round 1 contenders instead of never giving them a chance for fear of splitting the vote.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-round_system

Basically... 17% of people voted for the National Front as their first vote, and when the first vote failed due to no party having a majority, and all parties but those two with the highest number of votes were excluded, there was a second vote.

In the second vote between two parties, 18% of people voted for the National Front - only a 1% increase - despite 60% of people having voted for minority parties in the first round and thus having to switch their vote (or abstain). That is, the vast majority of people who had voted for minority parties decided to vote against the National Front in the second vote.

(For exact numbers - the National Front got 4,804,713 votes in the first round, and 5,525,032 in the second - a jump of 720,319 votes - and Rally for the Republic got 5,665,855 votes in the first round, and 25,537,956 in the second - a jump of 19,872,101 votes.)
