I guess we interpreted the article differently. The case study in the article was a journalist in an hotel room shooting video of Edward Snowden.

It also seems that we conceptualize war zones in diverse ways. For me, when there are combatants in technicals [1] it's perhaps better not to assume good manners and wifi etiquette are prevalent social behaviors.

TLS or Transport Layer Security [2] is a protocol to secure network communications using encryption. Building encryption into the cameras is what the concerned journalists are asking for.

As an aside, calling someone else's reasoning "silly" can easily be interpreted as uncivil and not in keeping with Hacker News guidelines. I've found Paul Graham's essay How to Disagree provides a useful perspective. [3]

> they're almost certainly ALSO in a position to extract the encryption password

Cue relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/538/

If you asked these people "how do you prevent your server logs from being seized and manipulated by hackers?" they'd just tell you "Easy! Encrypt it with a password!" Sigh.

What they really want is an easy way to log what they shoot directly to a central, hardened server geographically located in a friendly legal jurisdiction (perhaps several such jurisdictions) with no remote edit or delete permissions, deleting their local copy once the footage has been successfully logged. Given that the only way to do this with a camera under warzone conditions is to have a wire to some kind of backpack with a satellite uplink and its own power source, the next best thing is to allow the camera to stream to a laptop acting as a proxy for that central server, not leaving a copy either on the laptop or the camera.
I'm slightly shocked that people talk about this as if he truly believes that it's not real.

With most politicians everything makes perfect sense if you assume they know it's real, but they have some narrow selfish reason to pretend otherwise e.g. connections to coal industry.

I'm not sure if it's scarier to believe that he's happy to spread propaganda from the fossil fuel industry, or that he's simply stupid enough to believe it.

(edit: and now I'm considering the terrifying prospect that he genuinely thinks Barack Obama faked his entire life story up to and past Harvard, and was some kind of muslim secret agent plant, which is much more terrifying than him just pandering to ignorant racists on the same topic for years)
It was more that you had a set of Notes documents and associated workflows which conformed perfectly to business operations when created, but then gradually got heavier and harder to change as they were adapted along with the business. There was nothing wrong with the coding as such, more the accrual of features and exceptions and new types of related document.

It's a kind of tech debt for which a re-write is the appropriate solution, but that was the prohibitively expensive part.
Given that Stephen Bannon will be the white house advisor, I don't see that happening. Trump seems to trust his advice the most.
Hrm ok. I thought Elon was a smart man
Indeed, and I'm almost positive that I've seen models other than the C90s. I didn't realize that they were toting real passengers, though. I thought they were just Alpha Tests As Marketing.

> Wartime journalists typically don't need huge images

That's pretty demeaning. Wartime photographers need quality as much as others.

> Jamming every wifi channel on both frequencies over an entire city is a crazy idea

They do blanket-block the internet though (recently Turkey, again), without which wifi loses a lot of functionality.

> You envisage a scenario where in the back of that toyota hilux

No, no. The scenario is of local state actors sitting in their aircon office, monitoring network traffic in a certain hotspot; if they identify a stream of compromising media, they censor it by corrupting the stream. Yes, TLS fixes that; but if you have that sort of crypto features, you can make sure the images are encrypted on storage media in the first place.
More importantly, make sure your starting knot and main knot are correct with respect to each other. When I learnt the Ian knot, I later learnt that I'd been tying my shoes using a "granny knot": http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/grannyknot.htm If you are doing this, the easiest thing to do is reverse your starting knot; relearning the main knot is going to be much harder.

Since learning the Ian knot (and correct starting knot) I can honestly say I enjoy tying my shoes every day and relish the opportunity to tie a bow at any other time.
I'm actually kind of excited about this! A `text/markdown` MIME type could (maybe? hopefully?) pave the way for native content authoring in Markdown without having to use an HTML-targeting compiler between the author and the browser.

I might be being optimistic, but if that ever happens, it could be the start of a new era in internet content authorship!

I agree somewhat, but I don't think that it's going to be Trump specifically disrupting institutions, so much as everyone else round him.
Reasonable point, but I'd argue that the purchasers of dedicated cameras are already not the general market, who will just be using their phone camera anyway. For purchasers of these cameras, I think the cameramakers going down this route would be a clear signal that they care about the users' freedom of speech and security concerns and are taking their use seriously.

Also, my guess is compared to other features they work on this would be fairly trivial, or at least in the same ballpark. And I think it would immediately give the camera a certain cache that would signal "professional" or "serious" that would increase its value, regardless of whether or not the user really needs it.

Without meaning to be dismissive of the large numbers of people who do need these types of cameras (I have close loved ones who are professional photojournalists who rely on having the best cameras), I think a large proportion of people who who buy them don't need them relative to what's on decent phones today. They're just a status symbol for them anyway.
In fairness to [US] conservatives: "Half of U.S. Conservatives Say Climate Change Is Real" (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-27/half-of-u...)

I'll take the "glass half full" view on this, but certainly 50% leaves plenty of room for improvement.
On the other hand, humans also have the common sense not to (e.g.) follow the tracks of a car that has spun off the road.

I'd expect logic at that level might be more difficult to train for than the relatively low-level visual task of identifying and following tracks. But I guess existing self-driving systems already need to work at that level to predict the actions of other cars and pedestrians, so presumably the current data-driven training techniques would also handle it OK? (Assuming a lack of pranksters with shovels...)
It'd be nice if we could get to the point where my self-driving car is earning cash as a taxi whilst I'm doing my 9-5.
I do, and I can confirm that it's slower. With Polish Programmer's you need to use right Alt + [a], [e] etc. in order to type ą, ę, ł, ó, ś, ń, ż, ź, ć.

I do it on machines where I have no time nor interest to add the PN-87, or Polish typist layout (after mechanical typewriters where it was used in Poland before the computer era took over).

That's the case of my work machine, for instance, on which I don't type that much in Polish anyway. Yet I still do now and then, so I can gauge the difference.

Since I have to resort to these artificial combos, typing speed and convenience is inferior.

It's other small things that add up, too - for example Polish layout uses QWERTZ, "z" being much more common in Polish language than in English where it's rare. For this reason putting "z" under the weakest finger of all, the left pinky, makes for really poor UX for someone using QWERTY to type in Polish. It's much better located in the middle of the top row.

When writing in Polish, the flow is much better with Polish typist than "Polish programmer's" with its shortcuts. But as I said, your mileage may vary, and it seems so in your case.
This is really freaking hilarious when you look past how cruel and exploitative it is :).

Your hiring strategy is not "your" hiring strategy: its every mindless, exploitative, and compassionless corporation in the universe. In otherwords, youre overwhelmingly average! Youre contributing to the very problem youre having: no one wants to work for an entity that operates like this.
If I'm reading this right, this seems like a really interesting and possibly lighter-weight alternative to Packer + Kubernetes. I like this and will give it a whirl.

So many of the comments here have to do with "his position keeps changing"

I'm not defending Trump personally - but as a concept, lets dig into this a bit.

So someone gets into a position of gaining a vast amount of knowledge over a short period of time from experts and consultants...

Do you expect that their perspective hasn't shifted, or that they will stick to their guns no matter what?

Because that's politics as usual - ignoring new evidence an voting/acting in a manner to support your original stance... never changing (especially drastically)

But isn't the way it should be just this - that new information should inform your decision and, if you're open minded, you should consider changing your stance if the new information supports it?

I'd take someone who changes their mind with new information over someone who sticks their fingers in their ear when information that opposes their viewpoint comes to their attention. Even if their decisions are in disagreement with me, their ability to change their stance says that they are at least making those decisions as opposed to having those decisions decided by what party label they strap on their chest...
If you do find the time, count me in as being very interested in seeing the proposal for growing/shrinking Go stacks.
A ha! That is the point I was missing. Thanks.
I think you'd still only have a solution which is workable against a very limited set of adversaries - namely, the ones who play by the rules, more or less.

In other words - not the kind of people you're likely to meet in many locations.

Simply _being_ in an area carrying camera gear is often enough to warrant suspicion. As concealing cameras and shooting often isn't a workable solution, plausible deniability -as to what is actually on your card, that is - you shooting can hardly be disputed- remains your best bet, IMHO.

If whoever challenging you can tell you've got photos/video but are unable to display them - well, if I were the grunt with the Kalashnikov, I'd just take that as admission of guilt, clobber you with the camera before taking the memory card and smiling my smuggest smile.

Better still if you have redundant storage so that you can give away a card while keeping your exposures.

(When younger, I practiced, practiced and practiced changing film in my SLR until I could do it in a few seconds, with the camera behind my back. Why? If I happened to attend a gig whose management had a less than enlightened photo policy, I'd just shoot a couple of quick bursts, lower my camera, change film and give the roll to my accomplice. If house security came and shook me down, I'd just shrug, sigh that they got me this time - and wait for them to ask for the film, then reluctantly rewind and hand it over.

Pretty good success rate.

Exactly. The disheartening thing is that he's so persuadable it's conceivable that damage could be prevented, but anyone half decent abandoned and denigrated him during the campaign, and he cares about loyalty, so his inner circle is already self-selected for maximum sycophancy and valuelessness.
That's more worries about them harassing voters or legitimate election officials than not liking oversight.
You may be correct that relatively little work is being done in this area, however I think you overstate the difficulty.

Winter driving is really no different from any other kind of driving in which the driver exceeds the limits of the vehicle's available traction. The methods of recovery are mostly well-known; the problem is more often the driver's inability to implement them in a timely manner.

Constant input from wheel speed and accelerometer sensor arrays, coupled with the vehicle's ability to individually brake/slow wheels (which also gives the vehicle the ability to accelerate individual wheels independently!) means that it could be a far easier 'problem' for self-driving cars to solve than it is for humans.

Again, if they're working on it :) But there's already been decades of work put into ABS, traction/stability control, etc.
It looks like there are a few CGI crates on crates.io, but they're not super popular. Crates.io uses https://github.com/emk/heroku-buildpack-rust in combination with https://github.com/ryandotsmith/nginx-buildpack, which puts nginx in front of a Rust application server, communicating over a socket. See here: https://github.com/ryandotsmith/nginx-buildpack/blob/master/... for the default config, https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/blob/0f3adf36108dfac6... for the one we actually use.

Thank you for confirming this. These kind of errors drive me crazy when I try to work through proofs on my own.
I know maglevs look cool and all, but there are quite practical reasons why they didn't pan out. One thing people tend to overlook is that regular rail lines are much more versatile. Regular rail can handle a variety of loads - the French high speed rail system also handles postal mail for instance. If you are building rail lines you already have a ton of kit that can use them - such as all the service machinery. Build a maglev and you can throw away all your expensive line maintenance vehicles.
No, there is no difference between human survival/replication and purpose. That's the recurrence, the reentrant loop that bootstraps humans.

Of course individual humans might make their own values and act on them, but they only exist as a byproduct of the survival/reproduction process, and are formed by this process.
> don't squash the indices into the correct range when they are incremented, but when they are used to index into the array.

Great! Just don't use it if the indices are N bits wide and the array has 2N elements. :)

Not unheard of. E.g. tiny embedded system. 8 bit variables, 256 element buffer.
Yeah, sure if you just want to send and receive text synchronously from a public channel, each feature past that point and you have to break open your computing history book and learn some arcane incantations.

I don't disagree. But without exception every winter slide-off I've witnessed first hand has been caused by excessive speed. You're driving along on a snow-covered interstate highway, someone in a BMW or 4x4 flies past you because "I have all wheel drive" starts to fishtail, overcorrects, spins out, and ends up backwards and stuck on the median.
Seems like a sound strategy, but there's nothing preventing people Page, Musk, Gore, Bezos and others from walking out and speaking out in the future.

Can't agree with more. It's a pity these days, for nearly all the WIKIs, CMSes, blog platforms, still markdown is not the native format supported out of the box, most of them needs plugins etc, or you need run a static-site-generator to convert markdown to HTMLs.
Sort of. She isn't adverse to the idea of me making money doing what I love and I'm not looking for giant profits, just enough to cover monthly expenses (though I'm not opposed to making more, I'm just keeping it real at this point). That being said, she doesn't want me to spend any of our money. My company bank account has the short lived freelance work I've done, which I'm running out of. It is hard to do things to drive traffic without money so I have to get creative
I've had a HackRF on my wishlist ever since discovering Mike's awesome SDR video series. That said, I wouldn't want to dedicate the device to the meter reading (hence my trying to pare down to the bare essentials).

Funny you mention using multiple dongles, I've actually been doing just that while working out the protocol to capture as many messages as possible. Except in my case, since 2.4MHz gets me exactly 6 channels, I can just run multiple instances of my application, each looking at their own 2.4MHz chunk of spectrum. No need to truly synchronize them.

If their point is 'behavior is plausibly mindless but experience implies that there's something more to consciousness', then they're asking the hard problem of consciousness but doing a bad job of it (like everyone else).

It's also possible that they don't understand computation at all -- but once again, a lot of people approach the hard problem of consciousness without separating it from computation.

> Unpredictable exception-throwing only happens if the work being done by your function isn't pure, i.e. it depends on something other than the function parameters.

This isn't true. The canonical example is trying to grab the first element of an empty list. You either check and catch the error or eat the exceptional behavior, but some pure functions are just partial and aren't defined for all inputs.

(Whether or not they throw a catch-able exception depends on language/implementation and is really not relevant to my point.)
Well, it seems you haven't read the Nasa report that I was referring to. The increase that was measured was not in surface but in mass. Unless the density of the Antrarctic ice is increasing dramatically as well, that means volume is increasing, not decreasing.

> nice. election day isn't even a holiday in america.

First of all, there are fifty elections in the US (not counting territories like Puerto Rico and Guam). Each state runs its own elections separately and can decide on their procedures.

Secondly, some jurisidctions already experimented with making election days a holiday. Aside from the fact that this only affects government employees (private businesses set their work schedules at their discretion, just as they do for other holidays), this ended up decreasing turnout, because people ended up taking the previous day off, treating it as an extra-long weekend for travel or vacation.

Third, this is a moot point when most states (34/50) offer early voting, and three more vote by mail, making "election day" rather arbitrary. It's really the last date on which someone can cast their vote. Those states also include three of the four largest states, meaning that the vast majority of people in the US have the option to vote well ahead of election day.

(For the record, the states which have neither early voting nor no-excuse absentee voting are Alabama, Connecticut, Mississippi, Kentucky, Virginia, Missouri, Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and New York)

I'm aware. I've written most of what Hofstadter has written - I also didn't say that it was only a textbook on AI or even that it was explicitly intended that way.

But I do maintain that the book is about precisely the topics that you need a deep understanding of if you want to think productively about AI. In that sense, it's a damn good textbook on AI, whether it was intended that way or not.

> It's unclear to me why the focus on a 2^n sized buffer just so you can use & for the mask.

The cost of a mask can probably be entirely buried in the instruction pipeline, so that it's hardly any more expensive than whatever it costs just to move from one register to another.

Modulo requires division. Division requires a hardware algorithm that iterates, consuming multiple cycles (pipeline stall).
