Well, when I see someone using a bandsaw, they're usually running a piece of wood through it with their hands near the blade. Cuts seem relatively likely, severity seems moderate.

With a waterjet like the one I use, you would generally have a computer moving the nozzle and not even have a reason to be near the nozzle. It also sounds like a jet taking off. I seem to remember the water speed being something like mach 3 exiting the nozzle, but don't trust my math on that. Cutting is done under water most of the time, which muffles most of the sound and splashback.

On the other hand, I carry a card that tells medical professionals how to treat me if I arrive with a waterjet injury. Waterjets don't work great on laminated materials, because when they hit a transition between materials, they tend to send their energy horizontally. This is also true if it goes through skin and hits bone. It basically shoots you up with water, air, and abrasive, which travels along or in your bones. I've never even come close to injuring myself with the nozzle, but it would absolutely be more scary than a bandsaw.

The closest I've come to injury was one day when I felt an eerie sensation of wind on my skin. I grabbed a piece of paper and tracked it down to a 1/4" stainless water line. I backed away and ten seconds later it was a white cone of fog from a leak that was visible for about 15 feet without even feeling wet. The moral of the story is don't feel around for leaks.

Following the plumber metaphor, at least we were able to monitor plumber's action and it affects mostly the toilet. While what apple is doing is more along the line of "give us the key to your house, we will fix your toilet"

"Yes. In America, this is pretty much how it is. Without a violent criminal record or a restraining order for domestic violence, in a lot of states you can go spend a couple hundred bucks and have yourself a nice handgun"

You must not be from the US or ever tried to get a gun. I can't order a gun through the mail, for instance. It needs to be sent to a regulated dealer and I will have to go through a background check.

"I am curious just how deep the "firearms business" goes on the dark web."

According to many of the ant-gun advocates in the US, you can just order it online with no checks or problems. But the reality is much different.
The author himself points out in the article that Apple provides you with the necessary tools to hand Apple support a completely wiped phone as they diagnose your issue and then recover it again at home. If his point is simply that this process is inconvenient and the state of the art should be better, then I think it's a pretty weak point.

The analogy that a commenter made here about a plumber entering your home is spot on. Like the locks on a door, the security mechanisms Apple has designed are constructed to thwart breaches on a large-scale (governments) and also on a small scale (your snooping family members).

Protecting it from people who need to service is it does not seem to fit any of these categories; if you cannot trust the Apple Genius in the store, seems silly that this same person would nonetheless trust the probably dozens of people who handled the device before it was finally placed in its box. And, like the plumber, if you somehow want him in your house and you want him to provide expert advice on how to fix your problem yet you fear that he may do something nefarious in the process, Apple does one better than "keepin' ya eye on him" -- it essentially allows you to strip the house of all of your belongings so the plumber has nothing to look at but the sink. And then it lets you put all your things back in. Seems pretty good to me.
> You're describing party-list proportional representation, but the parent post was about PR-STV, under which voters rank candidates and don't vote for parties.

Party lists make the problem much worse because it's de jure but any multi-winner system devolves into de facto voting for parties. More choices means that party branding plays a bigger role in voter choice, and even if a voter has a preferred candidate, they have to support that candidate's other party members in order for them to be effective once elected. Which makes it easier for parties to enforce party loyalty.

> Proportional representation (with or without party lists) would prevent minority rule and provide minority representation.

I don't think I'm adequately explaining what I mean by disenfranchise.

Suppose a factory is polluting the lake, or the old County Bridge needs to be repaired, or the the local police are corrupt.

If a party needs to resolve those issues to win the district then that's what they'll do. But if you put those voters in a big pot with a million other people who vote for parties based on things like abortion and taxes, nobody in the legislature is going to care anything about the local problems. So those people get disenfranchised -- nobody cares about them because no individual legislator is going to keep or lose their seat based on how people in only that one district vote.

> I'm not sure your suggestion of multi-winner approval had either of these benefits.

The point is that all multi-winner systems are bad. Legislators need to be elected by their own district or they won't actually care about those people.
>It's a hardware fault and no, I can't give it to you unlocked, I'm a security guy and I think about these things.

Yeah, because they will be magically able to test it and fix it while locked...

Nvidia  DGX SATURNV Ranked World’s Most Efficient Supercomputer
Although I find the title and tone of the piece a bit meh, he still had a point: Apple is targeting non-tech users who are not familiar with backups, let alone infosec. It is Apple's responsibility to ensure the safety of the data they're asking for, which as the Brisbane news he's pointing to indicates, they're not doing.
People put plumbers/babysitters/cooks/helpers/professionals of various kinds in their houses that they don't monitor.
I think he's ridiculing the names "Genius" and "Genius Bar", not the workers.
Both of those outcomes are because the hypothetical voters made stupid decisions, not because the system is flawed. If they choose to not take advantage of writing out all their preferences it's their own fault when they don't get what they want.

I don't see how FPTP would be better in either example, you'd just get the same or worse outcome.

So let me get this straight. You've got one key example in a dataset that otherwise has a highly suggestive curve and you don't say, "Interesting outlier, I wonder what other factors are at play?"

I'd love nothing more than to try a grand experiment of having our government sign up for the same social programs and tax rates that the Swiss enjoy. It's a pretty incredible country.

But they have so many other key components of a healthy society, as you set up. We can't have trivial access to highly lethal weapons and then go, "Mental illness, serious income inequality, the total lack of a living wage, lobbyist-driven politics that make no one happy, normalization of violence, a militarized police force... None of these are our problem!"

Gun ownership is a profound responsibility and cannot be for everyone. If we cannot begin to enforce some basic standards than we need to reevaluate the entire concept.

And that means a lot of things that people are very opposed to, like a wholly socialized public health system. If the free market was capable of delivering on this, it would have by now.
From what I can tell here and for what it's worth, it hasn't launched yet. However I wonder what the money distribution spread is like for the developers. At Ten USD a month it would need seriously volume I think in order for it pan out which isn't out of the question.

Neato concept to be certain. Seems like a lot of the apps in the screenshots are a lot of what I call "new agey" Apps which is both good and causes mild reservations for me however, I understand younger companies/ developers tend to be able to move in this stuff faster.

All in all this looks very interesting. Kinda like bodega

Technical solutions to the problem are relatively cheap, but the root of the problem is much deeper, involving social media's tendency to function as a non-fact-checked echo chamber. Facebook is just the most notable platform plagued by the issue.

In the past, Facebook had a partial solution-- human editors who would curate news stories and try to eliminate fake news from trending. I recently met one of these editors while traveling, and we had some long discussions about the issue. Facebook fired the team of human editors and replaced them with an automated solution. That decision was motivated based on a combination of factors related to expenses and liability which is obscured by Facebook's opaque internal hierarchy.

Really addressing the problem will take significant investment by platforms like Facebook to research the problem and implement robust technical solutions. But these platforms have rigid internal hierarchies and internal feedback loops that prevent that from happening. For platforms to invest in solving this problem, continued, strategic pressure needs to come from the outside.

(As it is, there is already pressure from the outside, but Facebook has responded by basically trying to cover their own ass: http://gizmodo.com/facebooks-fight-against-fake-news-was-und...)

The ex-Facebook curator I spoke with attempted to change Facebook's culture from the inside and found it impossible. Her recommendation is that credible journalism organizations from varying ideological backgrounds (everything from CNN, to Fox News to the New York Times) need to demand that Facebook invest in a solution, by refusing to syndicate their content through Facebook's platform unless Facebook does something to prevent credible, fact-checked content from getting shouted over by sensational fake news.

Journalism organizations are already working on this, but readers can help by writing letters to the lead editors of these organizations urging them to put this kind of pressure on Facebook. People with technical skills can help by investing time and energy improving competing news-syndication platforms (Twitter, Reddit, RSS, Steemit, etc).

I've got my own elaborate technical solution to Facebook's fact-void-echo-chamber problem that involves a combination of labels, like these students created, and algorithms that recommend related stories from sources across ideological divides. But unless leading social media platforms are ready to invest in these kinds of solutions, their impact on the problem will be negligible.

Anyway, these are all just my thoughts after listening to many people talk about the issue. If anyone reading this is a part of the team that's investing energy into getting this problem solved, I'd love to help.

A casual acquaintance of mine recently had the chance to find out that it's alive and kicking: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/may/30/symphony-to-a-...

Quote: "ntil 2010, Donen was writing naive, two-chord pop songs that recall Syd Barrett’s more rudimentary creations. He’s since reinvented himself as an orchestral composer, teaching himself to arrange by reading Rimsky-Korsakov’s Principles of Orchestration. Never mind one of those “couch-to-5k” exercise programmes, this is the equivalent of a sofa-bound slob attempting to compete in the Olympics having just read Mo Farah’s autobiography."
Cool to see this progressing!
"course exacerbated by the fact that using them turns you into a criminal."

If you mean just using and nothing more, it's not really true. Junkies don't get arrested for only getting high. It usually involves some other crime like robbery or petty theft.

Legalizing these drugs won't really solve the issue. Opiates are already legal, but expensive. Most addicts start out with the expensive prescriptions and then end up getting street drugs like heroin because it's so much cheaper. Street drugs will always be there because people the government always needs their cut through taxes.

"I do know that treatment instead of jail is a good thing."

..but to what end? If a person chooses over and over to take drugs, It's their freedom to take them, but also their responsibility to figure out a treatment plan.

I'm really tired of people demanding they can do what they want with their body and then demanding that I pay money to fix all of the negative consequences that comes along with it.

I took his point to be that Apple encourages you to go the insecure route and just trust them instead of teaching their customers good security awareness. Apple doesn't suggest to you to wipe your phone, they tell you to just trust them.

A better analogy from the physical world would be a locksmith who tells you to just leave your keys under the door mat for him so that he can come in and do the work when you aren't home.

Personally, I like that solution, but I'm a big fan of "he who breaks it, fixes it".

If I implement a shitty "solution" to a problem and it ends up causing even worse problems then I should be the one to "feel the pain" and it should be my responsibility to fix it/do it over/do it right. Nobody else should suffer because I f--ked up.
"it is now no longer palatable to question whether it is happening"

So, back this up. Who are the people with the careful theories, the detailed data, the ironclad arguments, who aren't being heard because of intolerance for their 'conservative' views?
I agree that it's not the best case that Apple needs to bring it "in the back" and to need to unlock it but if you can access the phone's diagnostics from outside the locked phone done it's already insecure. The fact that even apple has to have me unlock my phone tells me that not even their diagnostic tools work outside the lock screen. That sounds beautifully secure to me. And I agree with userbinator in that "you're going to have to let the plumber into your house if you want him to fix your broken toilet.".

And plenty of people would be willing to make that trade-off on security for convenience. (This is locksmith right? Like...you realize if he actually cared he could get in your house without keys?)
