What does a dry clutch have to do with it? Wet clutches can be user controlled mechanical systems too, just look at the vast majority of motorcycles.

Posts like this are very humbling. They serve as a good reminder that no matter how far I've come and how much I've learned, there will always be someone out there who knows vastly more than me like the back of their hand.
Unions are not the problem. Union can only work within the policies in place. The problem is with those policies.
When capacity increased in the same time frame by 800-2000 % then I kinda call that minor.
I see I do not speak much when I am inside, in front of the screen. I suggest you getting out, and putting yourself in situations where you have to speak...

I know you are asking for technological tool for this, but looks like the problem you are trying to solve is created by technology , so maybe the solution is non tech and getting away from the technology.
Thank you for your post (and Keybase!). I thought the example was a good one. Buying a book creates a permanent transaction record with the seller who's ethics you may not share. Humorous as well with the tongue and cheek reference to Atlas Shrugged :)

We're sadly living in a society where people search high and low for grievances to publicly virtual signal over. Hopefully the Twitter-sphere will realize there's value in your example and not just clutch pearls.

Other than having public direct contact with individuals and brands I never saw the point of twitter. I thought I was in the minority a couple of years ago when Twitter was growing exponentially. Now I see it's the other way around.

I'm not surprised their ad revenue has been falling about 80% in the last 2 years. There's little communication in 140 characters and the chaotic stream of tweets is unattractive to most users.

Maybe Twitter could be more vaulable if owned by Google or Facebook, and integrated in the services of those giants.
It will be interesting to see the response when this data is hacked and the browsing histories of the politicians who passed it are released to the public.
I commented about something similar two days ago, and once again there's no mention in the article or here about the fundamental problem of proprietary software:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12957927

True security and privacy cannot be had without free/libre software. It's not a solution in its own right, but it's a necessary step to mitigate issues such as these.

A commenter in the linked thread also mentioned other Android OSes working on hardening.
WOW if this doesn't just go to show how far we have gone in terms of our policies.
Yep. iCloud security is fantastic. Here's a write up on how the keychain security works:

https://tidbits.com/article/14557

It involves hardware security modules, cross-device crypto signing and other fun stuff. Apple cannot access the data they store about you on their servers.

From Apple's documentation:

Apple designed iCloud Keychain and Keychain Recovery so that a user’s passwords are still protected under the following conditions:

- A user’s iCloud account is compromised.

- iCloud is compromised by an external attacker or employee.

- Third-party access to user accounts.

As someone that bought a VW (in the US) and specifically wanted a manual (after having an automatic previously), this is sad. It was hard to find the car I wanted, I had to make a road trip of it.

I prefer my manual transmission to the automatic Volkswagen's. I think the DSG is just not quite ready for primetime. Especially in snow. Having a manual transmission, even on a car without 4WD, is a huge advantage in snow (the DSG won't let the car stall out, so it restricts how much you can downshift).
What you're describing is not engine braking, it's really clutch braking. Engine braking is what happens when the clutch is fully engaged and the compression of the engine slows the vehicle down.

Downshifting to second so the engine is at 5000rpms and letting it gradually slow the car down is engine braking, and this is good. Putting the gear selector in second and slowly releasing the clutch (with no throttle/rev-matching) to slow down the car is clutch braking and its bad (which is why cars automatically rev-match now).
Could have been more accurate.

I guess facebook likes are not precise enough to really describe a person. Still pretty cool though.
I don't think it works. All of the "runtime asserts" require bookkeeping. That bookkeeping ends up being worse in terms of performance than what you have with a GC.

It's hard to beat a modern, tuned GC.
The app is available for Android if you want to try it.
That's an important example. Person A can make a perfectly legal transaction with Person B who is involved in illegal activities, without Person A knowing that. Then, external observer, not knowing the transaction details, might as well associate Person A with the same illegal activities. A false positive in metadata analysis.

Thank you for explanation.
I'm not sure that applies to startups in growth mode, but as a general savings principal - I like it.
I have a .horse domain - I tried every permutation horse puns and in-jokes (my.lovely.horse, etc) but they were all taken by squatters or reserved for stupid prices.

Eventually I settled for sheep.horse, which is easy to remember but not much else.
I don't hold the clutch for too long because that will increase the effort from my left foot, and I don't like how it feels after a week of driving that way.

So, it may require more thinking, but I can rest my feet while the light is red and it actually feels good.
Ancient, set up maybe 15 years ago. Postfix, spamassassin (which wasn't effective, spam being the bulk of the problem pun intended), RBLs, and a nice almost two decade old .procmailrc for categorization.

I'm still in the process of trialling new providers. I'll be using fetchmail along with my existing procmailrc. The part I'm outsourcing is the spam filtering and availability on the MX.
The problem with satellite Internet is the uplink and downlink speeds.
Quick reply to my own comment. But another reason it seems this is helpful is that in many reinforcement learning tasks, like games, rewards are few and far between, so these goals also give the agent oncentive to keep trying new things / learning about the environment / task in the presence of sparse rewards?
It is not "splitting hairs"! Did you read the article? There is a difference between acute suicide prevention and general prevention! You would not expect the kind of reaction that he got when calling this hotline, because they don't assume an immediate case of suicide that they have to send police to without delay!
How many days in a row do I need to see this anecdotal evidence for it to be valid? At this point I'm up to probably a year solid of seeing folks fiddle with their phone instead of watching where they drive on my twelve minute commute.
About a million people die on the roads each year. Even though the US has a relatively low rate of road fatalities, there are still tens of thousands of people killed each year and hundreds of thousands injured on the roads. Even the poor and jobless benefit from not getting mangled in a car wreck or run down while cycling, and the health care money saved can go to directly aid them.
I've long felt the only sane approach is to define country-level TLDs (via the UN or something) transition everything under them, and then let each legal jurisdiction handle (or mishandle) their own shit.

While it's far less-convenient for global companies and "ignoring borders", it decentralizes the system. Compartmentalizing failure and allowing some kinds of competition.

That's exactly it. Brand protection companies like MarkMonitor will buy these up as a matter of course to protect their clients, and they'll do so at the inflated Early Access rates to boot. By the time the domains are released to the public, these companies have already made their profit.
> the bias and anti-police rhetoric in the article is excessive

Police have the hardest job in America BUT that does not mean anything negative to police is bias. What positive spin could you possibly give this issue with the police or the lower courts?
> So I am asking how is that benefitting those who loos their jobs.

They get cheaper and better self-driving cars. I know that's not nearly enough to compensate for lost income and self-worth. The rest of society has easily enough gains to compensate them property, but because of outdated ideas about work, worth and capitalism we haven't done so.
Well to be fair, packing a physical good in that type of arrangement would often cause breakage of the diagonal object. So establishing flush edges seems like a good assumption here.
Since you may not reliably determine the citizenship via traffic routes, probably, it's better to ask user during signup about his country (simple pre-filled "Where are you from?" question, true answer on which is required by ToS) and then route his data through a native (Russian, Chinese etc) server, which can store it and "request" further processing overseas (this fulfills all the requirements of the law, including both storage and primary processing).
Do you have a proposal to achieve Rust's goals in a way that's easier to learn?
I agree. When I was re-analyzing one of CJ's experiments using Bayesian decision theory ( http://www.gwern.net/Candy%20Japan - speaking of wanting to solve hard but not important problems...) what I was struck most by was the incredibly high cancellation rates he was reporting. Clearly something is going wrong there.
We also see some of the same patterns internationally. One might even venture a guess that the power the is inherently given to perform police duties has a universal appeal towards abuse that affects many humans in the same way...
Just to clarify: he was not at all suicidal, but accidentally called the suicide hotlibs instead of a crisis hotline.
The older, slower, more API-rich component FF Focus uses is UIWebView. And it's not at all similar to Microsoft because they were never 'forced to allow a choice of browser'. Apple also doesn't have a market share as dominant as Microsoft did and does not attract the same level of regulatory scrutiny.

It's similar, but a little less bad than this UK one.

- It requires ISPs to identify their clients, and site administrators to keep log of access. Thus, no party must keep a complete identifiable log. The police must join the pieces every time they use the data.

- It has no provision for the government forcing companies into disclosing user's data. Brazilian law has no "decrypt data on demand" requirement. It's only about access logs.

- There's no provision for the government hacking into people's computers (although that may exist on some other law I don't know about).

Anyway, it's a bad law. If it was evenly enforced, it would forbid a lot of services people use in Brazil.
What jobs are you talking about? That's the question. Those jobs you claim have come instead, where are they? The computer revolution is decades old now.

You must be able to point to some jobs that actually provide more, just claiming it will create more while the reality is that it doesn't unless we are talking wallmart jobs isn't an argument thats more a religious belief.

There are around 3-4 million software developers in the US. 18million worldwide. Those and some other areas of STEM jobs are providing some of us with a future and rising income. But for most other people they are on the wrong side of that divide.
Yes, this has received extensive coverage over the last two years. Google "BBC snoopers' charter" for some examples.
I didn't read it as blaming Labour, but rather stating a fact - they have done nothing to challenge this bill.
Other co-founder here. We built this out of frustration with other video conferencing solutions, and pretty much use it exclusively now.

Here's some background on our motivations:

Audio & video conferencing have improved a lot in the last few years, especially when it comes to voice and picture quality, but most conferencing still feels stiff. People go into "presentation mode", and it's much less interactive than an in-person meeting, especially if you’re brainstorming, or having a group discussion or a casual catch-up.

We're building a tool to make freeform meetings more comfortable, more possible, more useful. We call it Locus.

In Locus, conversation takes place around a room or other natural space. And we’ve improved the audio so that you hear people talking from where you see them (like in real life). Accidental interruptions no longer destroy conversation flow, and you can tell who’s talking even if faces aren’t visible. Say goodbye to the typical distracting, hyperactive mode of conferencing, where faces move around every time someone new starts talking. Locus rooms are also easy to create and share: just copy the link from your browser. And when you join a room, we verify your audio and video are working, so you can skip the “can you hear me?” ballet.

We'd like to go even further. There are so many ways to make Locus better for everyone, and in some cases better than being in-person. For example, wouldn't it be nice to know who's looking at you? Wouldn't it be nice to present a polished face even if you just woke up?

Also nice: sharing a virtual document everyone can see and draw on. Perhaps using a tablet or phone that lets you use your hands to draw and share a quick sketch? And don’t you want to see people's reactions -- or what they're looking at -- when you share your screen?

Years of working on the hard problems of transmitting voice and video have paid off. Now it’s time to work on new hard problems, to create a conferencing app that works with you to make better meetings. Our long-term vision is to increase the productivity of real-time remote collaboration through more natural meetings, and Locus is a first step. Try it and let us know if you like it and use it -- or if you don't, what's missing?
If there is no good cops then what we have is an armed gang going around robbing and shooting people on the street. Violence has always been considered an OK solution to that.

Of course, one would hope that the idea that there exists no good cops to arrest the bad cops is as absurd as it sounds. When you take a look though, you'll quickly realise that internally the good cops are the "bad apples".

To be fair, this is all probably just the natural outcome of how police departments are built. Putting people in these positions of power with no system built to effectively scrutinise their actions is inevitably going to lead to large scale corruption.
I'd be more worried about wear of the valve train. Brake pads are cheaper.
There was an anti-trust case against Microsoft, they also have some money in the bank, so no this is for sure not the reason
One of the challenges today is the number of military veterans to return from the Middle East and get jobs in law enforcement after their discharge. As a matter of habit and training, they pursue the police job like the military job: as a search for and battle with enemies.

But what communities want is a police force that provides safety to citizens, not one that fights enemies. There's a big difference between those mindsets.
Depends upon the signal strength?
But since they don't have a job they can't buy them but yeah.
Hmm, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't monopoly law (at least in EU) dependant on the companies market power (e.g. the ability to sway market / damage consumer rights), not market share?
> It's enough to point the finger at commercial VPN providers and claim the the users are doing suspicious things.

The problem there is we live in a containerised world, how would they stop someone running a 'recipe' that creates a VPN on something like AWS/Digital Ocean and uses that as the VPN exit point.

The only way to deal with that is to have a central licensing authority for VPN's where you have to hand over the keys, that's going to be a massive and expensive fight for them.
Not to mention that that was MS imposing restrictions on devices sold by other manufacturers. This is them imposing restrictions on their own devices running their own software. I imagine there's a much higher bar for shenanigans before anything they do in that regard could get them in trouble.
If Zclassic existed, why didn't Keybase go with this instead!!!
At a USD200,000 price for a new TLD, it takes 2,000 domains at $100/year to break even. Of course there are other costs associated to running a TLD, but they probably don't scale linearly.

So on a 5 year term, it might even be a small profitable business.
It definitely factors into employee turnover rates. That is probably also where employees hurt themselves. People don't like looking for work and for good reason.
> If I could come up with something better, they would have done that.

Don't give up so easily! If you're going to make a stance borne out of principle, why not follow through to outperform the suboptimal solution that you dislike so much?

Innovate. Put some skin in the game. That's what I would do, anyway.

As it stands: If any of the folks involved in the trusted setup was honest, then it's secure. It takes a 100% corruption to make it insecure. I think that's acceptable until a better solution is proposed.
> We can't enforce that humans drive that way after they're licensed

Wait, isn't that what traffic police are for? Sometimes I wish speed limits were universally removed so that police will be forced to enforce the other 99.99% of traffic laws more strictly.
Unless a law is enacted, I wonder how legally binding the 5 year waiting period is. That is one long non-compete agreement!
Sorry for the late reply. Shure, it is hard to develop a good pricing model, but if your approach is serious you try to figure it out pre-launch, so that a potential customer does NOT have to think about how much he would like to pay for the service. He either accepts the offer or he doesn't, and a tiered model (dependant on your use) should offer a good deal for everyone. I personally would argue that twice the free tier would be worth 10 bucks a month, double that 15, and double that again 25. This way would reward bigger users with a volume discount, but still make the service accessible for more serious hobbyists.
Google already controls chunks of every platform involved, some of them are very large, (network, domain registry, OS, browser, search engine, web hosting/content delivery) and eats away the importance of domains bite by bite. Non-tech people do not type in domains anymore, they search for them. URLs are getting hidden away further and further.

Yes, absolutely. If you're trying to put a pointer into an int-ish variable, that's what you should be doing - not any of the int types that have a fixed number of bits.

I've been using CONFIG_MODULES=n for years without issue. It can be annoying when you need to use some obscure driver, filesystem or protocol on a one off basis and have to do an emergency recompile just for that, but that's rare (for me at least), and otherwise it's perfectly usable.

Nice! I bought jungle.horse and put my Donald Trump text to speech engine there. These domains are so ridiculous.
Interesting article, with the premise of it based on data from "polls". If anyone learned anything from this election is that polls are absolute shit.
As someone who speaks far too much, I envy your problem :P

To give a more constructive (although nontechnical) answer, make friends with someone like me. (in the "talks too much" sense) Find someone who likes engagement, conversation, etc (hopefully in a domain of shared interest) and associate with them a lot. I've found a decent track record at getting quiet teammates to become more outspoken by engaging them on that level in a friendly environment on a regular basis, because then talking more becomes the norm.

There's even (at least from my perspective) mutual benefit as the same reduction-to-the-mean helps the more talkative party get better at listening/engaging quiet people too.
Sorry, I removed it because I realized I misinterpreted your comment.
Norway is (probably) still a manual transmission holdout, potentially in part because you'll most likely end up being taught driving a manual as there's restrictions attached to your license. If you do your practical on an automatic, you're restricted to automatic, if you do it on a manual you get to drive both manual/automatic.

Anecdotally - early automatic transmissions weren't all that great on the windy mountain roads. My dad had two primary complaints (after having had an automatic rental). Tricking the car into downshifting to maintain speed or accelerate on steep ascents, and passing people on steep ascents, usually involved slamming on the brakes to trick the car into downshifting. (This were in the mid-90ies). My dad held onto the manual transmission until probably 2012-2013.

Kraken is an exchange that sells Zcash to USD holders (as long as you aren't in NY state!). Another option is to buy Bitcoin (e.g. from Coinbase) with USD, and then use shapeshift.io to convert your Bitcoin to Zcash.
I know nothing about Japan, but how about people of Burakumin descent? I recall reading that there was great effort made to make it difficult to look up, including the removal of labels on old maps that showed the blocks where they had been forced to live.

Presumably there are legal restrictions on record collection to impede the possible future discrimination.
