I'm no fan of AV (I think they've totally failed to improve quality for decades, and now live off of fear-mongering) and not an expert but that seems too harsh.

At the time this arrangement was designed, getting any kind of automatic software update was unusual, let alone regular updates or communication back to the update system. It's hard to imagine an AV doing this successfully at the time. What if the user installs a new version of a program and you have no internet connection? Ask them? Do you trust their answer? At the same time, the number of unique new viruses was substantially smaller and slower-spreading so easier to "detect" (it was never clear to me how much "detection" really happened vs pure signature matching).

Never underestimate the street value either. I wonder if they have an armed escort for this truck -- the hardware must cost on the order of 10-20 million, and the data itself could be worth many multiples of that. Could make a great heist movie.
Why do you think the economy is either good or a bubble?

That's why investors don't even listen to this stuff anymore... they understand the market more than we do
It's one thing to say "VR will be commonplace in 10 years" or "Self driving cars will be commonplace in 10 years". That, I can believe because we already have prototypes and I've messed with them and could imagine advancing them.

It is quite another thing to claim that human adult level strong AI is coming "very very soon" and could happen overnight.

The latter is just science fiction wishful thinking. I have no reason to believe we will ever have truly thinking, sentient computers, let alone "very very soon." Sure, our Siris and Alexas and whatnot will get better and better at responding to our queries how we want, but that's way different from an adult level human intelligence AI. Machine Learning has limits and will not yield conscious machines anytime soon, if ever.
You act as though its a choice. You will get hacked with or without the the AV, The AV might just let you know.
Perhaps. "you're wrong" or "you're missing the point" aren't nice, per se, but aren't over the top.
Except that figure shows the frequency with which PV46 experienced an interruption, not the frequency with which it was near an interruption. As stated in the article, "We could not inspect the detailed train logs that day because SMRT needed more time to extract the data", implying that there was no position information for trains that were not actively experiencing a disruption.

Arguably, based on the preliminary explanation, it seems like PV46 might be over-represented (it had 4 interruptions) -- after all, it never travels in the opposite direction to itself.

Sugar in food has functions other than sweetening, I wonder how this will affect texture, mouthfeel, moisture and shelf life.

Upvote. Well stated. Think of it this way: All money is printed we just have to optimize the correct amount and preferably get it in the hands of those willing to spend it. Micro-economic thinking is the enemy of Macro Economics. Saving money is the enemy. If everyone saves what they make and doesn't borrow, we have no economy(we could barter though). Problem is to much money is sitting in accounts of the wealthy and not spend, we need to focus on increasing income to the masses. Best way is lower taxes and infrastructure spending. Forget about taxing the rich its irrelevant and politically unpalatable.

For everyone else who was lost like me (mined from this comment section and some googling):

- AV: Anti-virus software

- Vess: Security, AV expert, loves AV

- Justin Schuh: Chrome dev (security-related), hates AV

- AV needs deep access to the OS, opening the door for attacks if managed poorly

- Deep OS access is often hacky (due to lack of APIs?), thus potentially unsafe

- Vess and Justin Schuh both have bad manners

Is this about right?

Also, how is AV a (direct) impediment to a shipping a safe browser? It seems to me that a browser should be mostly agnostic toward AV.

Edit: It seems like the problem is that AV tries to penetrate browsers in a similar hacky way as for the OS, resulting in similar issues.

TL;DR: AV tries to help by supervising browsers because they're allegedly not safe enough, but browsers think they're already safe and want AV to gtfo.

Edit 2: Are there any AVs that don't tamper with browsers at all? I've always been using Avast and switching off all browser-related features, but maybe there are better options.

The only way would be to test as glycemic index (but especially glycemic response) varies wildly based on what is packed along with the ride (in some ironic cases fats and proteins raise glycemic response and in others lowers it).

Also in practice individuals glycemic response is more complicated than most might think and often times the index number has little correlation (you have to remember the index number is done for a fasted individual... most people eat multiple things during a meal).

Finally dissolving fast does not mean it necessarily will absorb or produce a great response. After all sugar alcohols and glycerin readily dissolve quickly in water but have little impact on insulin (albeit perhaps on sensitivity but that is another complicated story).

My bigger concern isn't the insulin but the fact that sugar actually has an affect on the brain similar to drugs. New sugars could have a greater addictive impact.
They can't really use artificial sweeteners to add bulk because those are much much sweeter than sugar per unit mass.
Very well-written article. I had no idea Ernst Mach had a mystical experience that he based his theories on. Very interesting.

“On a bright summer day in the open air, the world with my ego suddenly appeared to me as one coherent mass of sensations,” he later wrote. He felt, in that moment, there was no reality sitting “out there,” independent of his sensations, and likewise that there was no self sitting “in here,” independent of its sensations. He grew certain that there could be no real difference between mind and matter, between perceiving subject and perceived object. “This moment was decisive for my whole view,” he wrote.

WINGS: Kickstart Your DAO – Alpha Demo
One of my personal favourites.

Years ago I worked on a stock control system for a popular clothes retailer. Where previously store managers had to spend hours on the phone ringing the depots to see what was in stock and reordering popular lines, now they could fill in orders an they would be emailed to the depots in machine readable format, with the order balanced across multiple depots depending on availability of stock.

After the system had been in operation for a year or so, managers started to complain that some orders weren’t turning up. After a bit of digging it only seemed to affect one particular depot, but I couldn’t initially see a common factor between the orders. It had nothing to do with the size of the mail, or the originating store. I could tell from the logs the emails were being formatted and supposedly sent to the depot, yet they never translated into orders. The system would silently fail after we’d handed the email to the depot with no obvious reason why.

So I wrote a quick script to collect all the orders for a day from all the stores and compile a list of all product lines that were present in the orders that went missing, but not present in the orders that succeeded, just to see if there was a pattern. This turned up a few dozen items and after a quick visual scan of the product descriptions one stood out slightly, so I phoned the depot on a hunch.

The depot had an anti-spam filter on incoming emails that silently dropped messages with pornographic words in the body or any attachments. The retailer had just received a new seasonal product line, which was selling well, and the product description was “bondage tights”.

After getting the depot to whitelist emails from our system, orders for this product line started working.
Ask HN: Queryparams have a starting? and then and as seperator..why?
Why does the order matter? Wouldn't it be easier to keep it the same?
haha, this should be considered cheating, but since you are "hacking it", it's fine :D
And here's a video overview: https://vimeo.com/193092429
DouxMatok uses a different principle for the same result, of covering a particle with sugar molecules in a way that increases the sugar surface and thus increase sweetness by 30%-100%.

http://www.foodnavigator.com/Market-Trends/Flavour-delivery-...

I'm curious if both methods could be combined.
I think the premise is that broken AV doing nothing would be better than broken AV injecting itself into the browser.

So to get past that premise, you have to remove the "broken" part before the method of injection matters.
True enough, but most milk chocolate products would have to add a lot of cocoa before they were considered dark chocolate. Just 20% is fairly typical here in the UK, which results in something far too sweet and barely recognisable as chocolate.

But I'm one of those freaks that actually likes dark chocolate up to 85%.
WRT the "timing attack":

In most cases, client does not even request bytes from CDN which is then not able to track Client.
But then again CDNs can implement tracking based on this lack of requests (which is kind of ironic and should be infeasible the more clients use this technique I think).

Actually the other issues are solved by the "DHT" part of this idea:
no centralized party can track which assets are already in your history.

The only tracking I can think of is by your nearest neighbours's browsers.
If such a neighbour N empties your cache (DNS attack?) it will trigger a full fetch from N.
Then N can attempt to fingerprint this assets query with what other pages list.
But then the whole point of this is to cache assets that are used on most pages!

I love this idea. Let's make the Web decentralized again!
(I couldn't resist)
Better than The Christmas Shoes.
The glycemic index of chocolate is not that high. The fat content of the chocolate delays stomach emptying and absorption of the sugar.
