I have 4 kids and they like to drop things. The very first thing I'm doing is buying a case for it.
I’m a software engineer at Thorn. I don’t work directly on the research or data science side of things, but I work closely with those who do and they take it very seriously. Here’s some more detail from our website: https://www.wearethorn.org/child-sexual-exploitation-and-tec...
Does it make sense to make a large capital bet on mass transit at this time? Yesterday, Telsa released a video of their new car self-driving, including dropping a passenger off and getting into a parking lot.

It strikes me that a personal rapid transit system - think something like Uber, operating on lanes dedicated to self-driving cars - could provide much of the functionality of this, and be ready a lot sooner.
A similar strangeness was observed in a star which dimmed inexplicably. A Dyson sphere is suspected, aka a super advanced civilization
No argument -- you could post articles all day like this.

I assume the author didn't mean literal-figurative blind faith, as how would you even know to associate something with wikileaks?

The "blind faith" (I'm not suggesting it exists [nor that it doesn't], as the author does) is a result of previously publishing many things that appear to be true with no examples (at least that anyone here has revealed) of published falsehoods.
Every browsers addon runtime is different. Firefox is working on standardizing things with it's Web Extensions API (modeled after Chromium's API). But potentially, yes.
The N line is the most dysfunctional and crowded lines. I used to depend on it, and it was terrible- you can count on it not showing for 45 minutes (outbound @ parnassus) and then stop/turn around at 19th or 37th without another train for 45 minutes. And, as mentioned, it gets horribly slowed by traffic in the busy corridors.

The point of this line would be serve the park and Richmond and Sunset, without the delays of the Irving line.
You can download your programming environment through a ubiquitous computer network instead of mail ordering a set of floppies? That's amazing!
Exactly. If you can write a vulnerability in Angular, you can write it in vanilla Javascript as well. Unless Angular is using `eval()` or something and Firefox bans any use of `eval()`, which is reasonable...
We don't normally discuss freedom in this way. The other things in the Bill of Rights - Speech, Right to Legal Counsel, etc., we never ask "why do you need to exercise that right?".

Ugh, this kind of thing gets my blood boiling. It was clearly said that _a security researcher_ disallowed Mozilla from reporting the vulnerability forward. It's the individual to blame, not Mozilla.

In any case Personally I wouldn't want to run a large priviledged application as a browser extension when it's interacting with random webpages AND handling my security credentials. Too much attack surface.

Nodejs's strength is that you can write code quickly and it handles IO well. The drawback for nodejs (and similar languages like python, php, ruby) is that they are incredibly slow, especially for CPU bound work like calculations. People use the slower language because it's simply easier and faster to be productive in some categories of projects.

> If the vulnerable part is in Angular, there's a 100% chance that someone can write code in plain JS that is vulnerable to the same attack.

“can”, not “will”. If everything that uses Angular is vulnerable (unlikely? I couldn’t say), why would you not ban it? This is along the lines of “If Heartbleed is in OpenSSL, there’s a 100% chance that someone can write code in plain C that is vulnerable to the same attack”. Yeah, they can, and it happens all the time, but why not fix a known hole?

> E.g. if there was something in the hashbang-url-router that would lead to eval'ing the code in the hash (which I just made up, but would describe such a class of vulnerability). This means it's pointless to ban Angular.

This would be an excellent reason to ban Angular since a huge majority* of extensions never use eval().

* If this isn’t true… I don’t want to be in web dev anymore.
Fascinating! I just moved to SF so I didn't know that. I assume you're referring to Prop 13? My understanding is that it's about property taxes, not land taxes. Possibly there is some legal wiggle room in there? Anyway, looks like there are other forms of value capture that may not run afoul of Prop 13! Thanks for pointing that out I learned something new today. :)

Speaking for myself, I really want self-driving cars to happen in my lifetime but I've become incredibly wary of the credulous attitudes seen in media hype, among the general population, and within the tech community amongst people who don't understand how hard (and possibly intractable) some of these problems are.

If self-driving cars don't happen in my lifetime, it will be because companies piggybacked on the media hype too readily and shipped dangerously misleading technology to consumers before it's ready. A few CNN incidents later, et voila, no one's talking about self-driving cars anymore. The whole thing can grind to a halt just like that. Every overly enthusiastic, precocious CS undergrad who posts in forums about how incredibly inevitable self-driving cars are, and how it's basically a solved problem and a done deal, are helping to set up self-driving cars for failure by encouraging overly optimistic expectations.

For people who care deeply about the technology, the possibility of a company like Tesla putting something out there before it's ready and potentially causing CNN incidents can be more alarming than no one putting anything out there at all. Maybe some people are being too negative and nitpicky, or maybe not, but I think that's where the negative attitudes come from. It's from people who want self-driving cars to succeed.
That'll be a huge amount of capital. The sunset is not very dense, so surface-level transit could work fine. The real trick is keeping cars out of the way of the N, via dedicated right-of-way and transit signal priority.
As AgentME clarifies above, Angular uses a lot of `eval()` of DOM elements, which is perfectly reasonable design decision when you control the contents (as you would if you used Angular in your own app), but a perfectly awful thing to do if the attacker controls the contents (as they would if you used Angular in a browser extension that processes 3rd party webpages).
> or have the required citizenship.

Thank you but no, thank you.

It is my (and not just mine) opinion that law abiding citizens who also care for their own health should push for free healthcare for everyone. If anything, at least until bacteria and viruses learn to properly tell "good" and "bad" people apart.
Copy and design is pretty swish, but it's too over the top for me. I don't want buying domains to "have never been this cool" or to "blow my mind". I want it to be simple and easy. Which it already is elsewhere. Input box looks like I can use it to search for domains, but I can't. That was frustrating. I do think there's a lot of room for improvement in spite of the competition, but this isn't it.

1) Give me a modern search interface like namecheap - I want to be able to search for keywords and see suggestions for TLDs in a sensible way.

2) Don't use "cheap" in your name (probably main problem with namecheap).

3) Show me a demo of your DNS control -- this is really badly done in all the registrars I've tried, and that would be a big drawcard if I could see it without signing up

4) Show me all the prices for different TLDs -- not just the five stylistically but impractically arranged ones on the pricing page
Not only did he lift their stories, in many cases he didn't even bother to change names. One person he wrote about, who was a friend of his and a fellow author, told his agent as much before IJ was published and strongly suggested he change the names, but no action was taken.
On one hand I'm really sympathetic to the criticisms from this blog.

On the other hand people want big houses and they have a limited budget. They can't afford a real mansion, so this is what they get instead. Is it really so wrong for people to want a lot of space?

I wish there was more in this blog about how to do it right other than "have enough money for a proper mansion" or "you should have a smaller living space."
This reads like old-$ "highbrow" East-coast hate for the nouveau riche. What is the alternative for someone who wants to build a house for a large family while spending 6 (or low 7) figures, as opposed someone with Larry Ellison money and Ivy League cultivated tastes?

"Cheap materials" - that's valid, but what is the cost difference for "real Louis XIV marble fireplace" as opposed to "imitation"? Why build something to last 500 years when your children may not even want it?
Indeed it is: Games like Halo heavily de-emphasize it, and games like Titanfall and Overwatch and such don't even have it anymore: Once upon a time, if an MP-only game didn't have Local Multiplayer on console, it would have been laughed out of the room.
I think for a child's team being coached by parents the main goal should be the kids having fun and getting exercise, not entertaining the parents.
You're right about the UI slowness. That is a problem for the system as a whole. When it was originally released, returning to the home screen (for example) was incredibly slow - it's marginally better since a system update, but woeful compared to the equivalent functionality on PS4 or Xbox.
It all depends on how you look at the overarching conflict, I suppose. To me, the privacy debate is like a cold war that's been raging for at least a decade, that began turning hot around the time of the collateral murder leaks and definitely after the Snowden leaks.

Yes, civil disobedience in this context comes with consequences. It's a fight, people get hurt in fights. Lives have already been ruined by the surveillance state. It's important to keep in mind it's a path of action people feel forced down by the actions of their government.

One scenario is that federal regulations might require you to acquire and show a federal passport in order to board a flight originating and terminating in your own state.

> Nope, SSNs aren't mandatory

That's not correct. Every citizen is assigned one at birth. You cannot choose to not have one, and it's not optional to pay into the system. I agree, however, some people have issues with theirs, but that doesn't preclude a voting ID system from being effective.

> I walk up to the table and say "Hi, I'm Spooky23

The problem is with people who do not vote, and someone else uses their vote illegitimately.

Showing a government issued ID of some sort solves that issue for the most part.

We (foxtype) actually have a dev tool that does exactly this.

If we publish it as an online tool do you think people will find it useful?

We have multiple corpora, some language models built in neural networks, etc.
The A line is APUs, so CPU + GPU on chip. I wouldn't call those mobile chips, though. They drain waaayyyy too much power for that. The tegra line is arm + nvidia gpu on the same SOC, which has way lower power draw (and is already used in some tablets and a chromebook or two).
No, they find it more probable that these particular signals are not aliens. It's not about whether or not you believe aliens exist, at all, it's about whether or not their the best explanation for any phenomenon. One day, we may get evidence for which there is no better explanation (say, a flying saucer landing at the White House with little grey aliens hopping out.) Right now, we do not have to use that hypothesis of last resort; it's still more parsimonious to think we just don't understand stars that well.
That is pretty awesome, it reminds me of the wii-remote mapping for displays that Johnny Lee did (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgrGjJUBF_I) back in 2007. This looks like a commercialization of that work 10 years later.

LVT are a form of property tax on real property; they differ from traditional ad valorem real property taxes in that they do not apply to the value of improvements, but were one to try to implement them in California, the Constitutional limits on real property taxation (Prop 13) would apply to them in the same way as it does to other real property taxes.
> But even just inputting destination addresses has its problems. What happens when an Uber-like app freaks out and spams the self-driving algos with a hundred destinations a second?

If Tesla's APIs can't handle input spam, that's on them. That's a very predictable and easily-solved problem. The entire point of an API is to expose a limited surface area so that you can easily interoperate while maintaining control and responsibility.

> Or screws up the location and sends a passenger a dozen miles from their intended destination? Or where the Tesla algos find a route it's been given to be undriveable and just turn back? Sure, you and I would rightly hold the modder accountable, but that's because we understand how this stuff works. Everybody else will see "Tesla cars" not working right, and that's a huge headache and liability for Tesla.

If Uber sends your car to the wrong location, then that's that. No big deal. People go to the wrong locations themselves all the time. I don't see how this is an Uber-specific problem, and I don't buy the argument that people are smart enough to hook their Tesla up to Uber but too stupid to understand who's at fault when the car correctly navigates itself to an incorrect location.

> And I don't think they'll ever ban people from going to places - as long as you use approved Tesla tools to request that destination.

There is no "approved Tesla tool" to connect to Uber. What happens if they modify their "approved Tesla tools" so they won't auto-drive you to a Burger King?

At the moment, I'm afraid I'm unable to muster the empathy necessary to understand how you could even begin to help the scammer.

Is there anyone who can still empathize with her? Strategize with them to help her. Make them the goto person that talks about this topic with her while you are in the background.

One of the biggest lessons in my life that I've learned is if I can't empathize with someone, it is very unlikely that I can help them. Of course, this doesn't mean that I am at fault necessarily. But it doesn't matter who is at fault; the fact remains: if I can't empathize, I can't help (and most likely .

Since realizing this, I've found it much more productive to find someone who can empathize with that person. Often, this someone is a person who isn't as emotionally invested in the situation as you may be. It might be a friend of hers that she used to be close with a decade ago but has lost touch since. It might be her neighbor she loves talking to because he is always agreeable (so when he disagrees for once, she is more likely to listen.) I'd try to make a shortlist of such people in her life and enlist one or more of them to help your mother-in-law.
Not that long ago, the idea of trying to get into the automotive industry with a web background would have been laughable. Now, I frequently get inquiries from auto companies interested in my JavaScript experience, despite the fact that I left the Detroit area a few years ago.

> get 'privacy' and 'anonymity' confused

When it isn't possible to avoid being observed, privacy depends upon the anonymity gained from misrepresentation.

Dan Geer's recommended[1] definition for 'privacy' in the age of ubiquitous surveillance:

> Privacy used to be proportional to that which it is impossible to observe or that which can be observed but not identified. No more -- what is today observable and identifiable kills both privacy as impossible-to-observe and privacy as impossible-to-identify, so what might be an alternative? If you are an optimist or an apparatchik, then your answer will tend toward rules of data procedure administered by a government you trust or control. If you are a pessimist or a hacker/maker, then your answer will tend towards the operational, and your definition of a state of privacy will be my definition: the effective capacity to misrepresent yourself.

I think his point is that running the entire Angular 1.x framework to power a browser extension gives a large attack surface.
They announced all of this before .NET Core went RTM. Not only that, the tooling was never made RTM (still in preview). If you jumped on the bandwagon that early then you had all of this information and knew what was coming.
From the abstract:

Why would they expect signals from 100's of different stars to have the same period ? Doesn't this suggest some sort of instrumental or analysis artifact ?
