Is there a company that you can pay to opt you out of all 50?

I'd consider being either a subscriber or provider of a service like this for a couple bucks a month:

- Auto opt out from all 50

- As these change location, requirements, or metastasize into new brokers, continuously opt out and notify as it happens.

- Auto check and notify of pownd registries for hacks/leaks

- Maybe a throwaway email service to find data abuse/spam

- General protection against data weasels, to the extent possible

Kind of like Lifelock, except useful and not a scam.

Unexpected? Climate scientists been harping on that risk for the last 25 years. The chance that we are going to have a broadly discussed climate change acceleration is certainly growing - but I doubt even climate change skeptics would suggest that it was unexpected.

Couple nitpicks about your site:

The link at the top of the page is broken. It says "http://CynicalDeveloper.com/podcast/5/" but links to "http://CynicalDeveloper.com/podcast/6/"

Adding to the confusion, the podcast player is buried below, so it wasn't obvious that this is in the page for listening to the podcast (as opposed to the podcast being on some other page that's linked to from here)

MFA is basically another key|password. If I am not careful with my secret key and password what difference does it make that there are two of them?

No, security is tough. The better security the less useful it is. NIST got this right. Do what you can, don't kill the user and implement security on the aaa side.
It's horrible on my older-but-still-very-adequate Dell laptop. It ran Windows 7 well, but I get frequent blue screen restarts in Windows 10. It's a driver issue I'm sure, but not holding out hope that Dell will be releasing Win 10 driver updates for older laptops at this point.
You've already got someone to evaluate it for free: the next person to get in it. Then you only need people to evaluate the reports, and you offer the person reporting it either a free ride in the dirty car or a fresh car in a few minutes at a discounted price.

It's true that game AI is surprisingly under-developped compared to what you see in academia on other topics... but it is not always that basic.

What you describe in your football example is often called "Behavior Tree", and there are ways to learn those using machine learning (usually by reinforcement learning, using neural networks and/or genetic programming). There was a popular video showing this applied on Mario [1] ... and a paper published 7 years before that video doing the same thing [2] (more context about this in [3]). I remember seeing something on Gamasutra saying that similar methods are used in some AAA games.

I was thinking the same thing; would make for simple retrofit to any camera currently in existence.

Also, while some enterprising card supplier is at it, they might as well implement a TrueCrypt-style hidden volume solution. That, methinks, would be most useful (for a very, very small subset of their customer base).

After all, as has been pointed out already - chances are the people who can inspect your camera would also have ways(tm) to make you come up with the password.

If you poke the internet, you will find people having tons of problems with virtually EVERYTHING, hell, I'd bet that one of the bigger uses of the internet is searching for every kind of solutions. The notion that the number one OS used by non-technically minded people, the OS that supports the greatest amount of HW, has the loudest crowd of people looking for help is perfectly understandable and doesn't signal anything by itself.

Mayor OS upgrades are painful, no matter the flavor, and it totally looks like Microsoft has made some mayor blunders with this one, but if I wanted to know whether this one is specially abominable, I'd probably pay more attention to what sysadmins have to say about it, and not some randos in the internet.

You specifically used the word "ratify" which could be very important. The other commenters are assuming you mean voting on individual policy issues. A more generic weekly vote of confidence or no confidence in the government in general is somewhat more practical, although only somewhat.

The problem with a weekly vote of confidence is you're just going to motivate massive chronological engineering such as doing everything unpopular the same week and taking the lumps and hoping no one notices, or playing mixing games that have nothing to do with good governance to ram something unpopular thru the same week something happy happens (or possibly refusing to do something popular until a stockpile of equal and opposite unhappiness accumulates).

Its not bad that both good and bad things happen simultaneously, its bad that they have to be stockpiled and delayed until they match up for weekly election reasons.

I can only imagine how awful this would work for situation where the government is sort of expected to lie for awhile, longer than a week anyway. Foreign diplomacy, military action, negotiations of all kinds, sometimes faking people out for more than a week is necessary to achieve victory in the longer term (like on a scale of months years decades centuries)

Another problem with weekly confidence votes is what happens if the government gets tossed out three times in a month, as could happen if the electorate are generally pissed off. You can't really form a government and operate and judge its operation in a mere week.

Now maybe an annual confidence vote is achievable. Maybe. Or maybe one weekly no confidence vote means little more than internal "WTF are we doing" conversations, but more than 7 no confidence in a 13 week quarter means they all resign, something like that.

That does indeed seem to be the case. There's a Huff Post article where IBM execs talk about their pilot program that's tied to this "new collar" business:

They'd have to add at least an AES engine to the chips, but that's really not a big factor in terms of transistors or power usage. (Although, if they're using some ARM cores somewhere, they probably already have one or two of these lying around).

Dive Deep into Deep Learning
Well with many cameras people usually record 4k video to an external device, connected to the video output of the camera anyway (like Atomos Shogun). Adding an encryption to this external device might be a better approach.

And also as mentioned before, just recording to an encrypted macbook or any other laptop might also work already, just the size might be a problem.
Pretty much viable. I've experimented with https://worktheme.com. What I realized is, small increments of work over a long time adds up to really surprising results.

I tried to use Bluemix to prototype some stock market AI thing... I spent a few weekend nights playing with it. Frankly, I didn't find Bluemix or Watson any more capable than myself.

Of course, I then received several emails from sales reps.
There is an old saying:

6 Steps to Success in Your Entrepreneurial Goals
A BIOS is 7bit ASCII - if you want anything more than that you need to load a ramdisk with drivers. If you're loading a ramdisk with drivers then you may as well also load a keylogger.

You'd also need to recreate that ramdisk if your hardware fails, and good luck booting from non-root encrypted volumes.

Using EN-US for boot disk volumes is pretty good advice.

Microsoft have thought this through - their recovery keys are ASCII numerals only and are entered using function keys since they're the only universal keys.

Switzerland has easy mail voting for everybody. I have never once in my live voted by going somewhere.
I haven't played it, but there is a game called Smart Kobold that tries to up the AI difficulty as far as it can reasonably go. In some sense, I think it satisfies your criteria. The punishing difficulty is what makes it rewarding, and it accomplishes it through AI rather than making creatures harder to kill or do more damage.

I do agree with your statement in the vast majority of cases. Ultimately, fun trumps everything else when it comes to games (though what counts as fun is subjective). Even Dark Souls, which many (most) gamers consider difficult, is not difficult because of unbeatable AI. It's full of patterns (indeed, that's how you get better at the game: you recognize and respond correctly to those patterns).

That's a vendor problem though, consider it a lesson learned and stick to a well-known line with good OS support. I got burned myself when purchasing the first-gen Lenovo Yoga - tons of custom drivers that work poorly on Windows 10.
A pretty unfortunate title; containerd, like Docker itself, has always been open source. Now it's being spun out as a separate project, and donated to a "neutral foundation."

In a slightly related note, I find it hilarious that people are using a framework made by a company behind what is probably the most hated mobile app ever.
Why do people use the version that's inferior and more complicated?

Because it's easier to understand at first glance, has no performance penalty, and for most busy programmers that often wins.
A decade or so ago I spoke to a tech guy at an environmental group, who told me about how the people he worked with during demonstrations had cameras that transmitted the pictures to a portable wifi hotspot that someone (often he did it himself) brought with them in a backback with a laptop and a variety of directional antennas to ensure they could have someone far enough away for police to be unaware of them.

Said person would either have internet access or suitable storage and decent odds of getting away without interference if police decided to confiscate or destroy cameras.

It's not hard to get some extra protection if you have the funds. A bigger issue is probably that a lot of the time even people operating in warzones often operate on shoestring budgets with little certainty as to whether or not they'll manage to sell their stories. Adding extra tech or a second person hiding in the distance isn't necessarily economically viable for a lot of people.
IBM is pivoting towards cloud so they let go a lot of people associated with legacy projects. Bluemix happens to be great. We have had an excellent experience with them.
OK, I'm not saying no, but you'd need to explain how that's different than the current situation other than the top leadership would be less crazy and less corrupt on average. Or aside from being different, how would having better leadership make the situation actively worse.

Surely you can't be implying we have subject matter experts running the country now. Or that the subject matter experts we do have from law and show business who are in charge now are only in charge of their areas of expertise specifically law or show business? I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with having congress leading the American Bar Association, its just that having lawyers in charge of, say, nuclear power plants, is about as dumb as having plumbers in charge of source code.
We're talking about Magic Lantern, which is a third party firmware hack that's not supported by Canon, so they can't do anything to the hardware. I suppose it is possible the processor accidentally supports some encryption primitive(s).
You really don't understand anything about dynamical systems do you? It's incredibly naive to assume we will land in some nice stable equilibrium where it's a couple of degrees warmer globally. The truth is we don't know where the climate will end up, but we know that we are in the process of exiting our current 'stable equilibrium'. The worst case scenario (and that is the only one we should be concerned with!) is a global mass extinction event. We've already had 5 of them - one of which was due to runaway greenhouse warming - https://cosmosmagazine.com/palaeontology/big-five-extinction...
I've tried Xamarin a couple of times and found that it's come along leaps and bounds in recent years. Especially when you compare it to the crashy mess that is XCode.

I suspect it hasn't been widely adopted simply because it costs money and adds a dependency (Xamarin need to implement new iOS APIs before you can use them).

For me personally, I love C# and really tried to justify buying. But then Swift came along and it's a joy to use. Doesn't work cross platform, of course.
I know HN gets a lot of crap for having a ton of Go fanboys but the reasons given here for liking C are the reasons I am in love with Go. No magic, no overloading, very clear when I do this this happens, and very easy to read code including in the standard library. It's a more friendly C.

For giving a guiding vote from the citizens to assist in parliamentary or local decisions, yes.

For electing state officials, no. A voting scheme needs to be designed for the worst possible circumstances which practically means a bordering civil war, and where trust between voters is zero at best. Voting allows revolution to take place peacefully.

Therefore the method of voting needs to be understood, carried over, and be verifiable by the common (wo)man. No electronic scheme can do that: anything that runs in software means that the correctness of the system depends on the experts' word only, and that word is likely to mean nothing when half the population is already collecting arms.

I miss my Win NT 4 box the entire OS ran in under 100mb iirc and it performed very well on a range of hardware.

But most of all I miss Windows 2000 where the Win9x UI met the Win NT kernel. It had some annoyances (Find tool used to be fast and not require indexing to find by name - that went away in 2000 and never came back) but it was relatively lightweight. It supported the graphics card, USB devices,and applications that I used. Most importantly it didn't do a bunch of shit without telling me.
I am really shocked at the Americans here on HN. I have to say it straight out. In the rest of the western world, there is no debate about what's happening.
