> one can obtain a search warrant and this forces you to possibly act against your own best interest by allowing the police to search your home.

In Germany you never have to actively help the police even if they come with a warrant. They can't even compel you to open the door of the house or a physical safe. They will of course come in anyway and send you the bill for the locksmith, but it's your perfect right to just sit there and do nothing.

So with the hard disk encryption it's actually exactly the same: You don't have to help in any way, but of course the police can still take the drive and try to decrypt it. If they can't decrypt, well, bad luck. Not your problem, you don't have to help.
amyjess, thanks for pointing out the CBSA; I'll admit I had not seen it before. When we set out to develop the calculator we wanted it to work globally, and focused on that. This will be a helpful way to improve it specifically in the US, so I'm adding it to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/organization/issues/24
Be sure that as such powers increase they'll obtain more sophisticated tools to help them catch smart alecks.

There's also the possibility of seizure -- not getting your encrypted hard drive back because you refused to co-operate.
That depends on what your threat model is. I assume we're talking about random police or border searches of your phone. Not the NSA or some surveillance apparatus which can make warrantless inquiries to your ISP and social network providers at a moments notice.

If we're facing a surveillance state without any internal obstructions then yes, far stricter opsec will be needed.
This is a great idea. Now I can tell girls we're all safe because we're using this app, and record as much as I want.

Then come home and use my iPad to record playback. Perfect plan! Win-Win!

The Roslyn compiler (C#) stores "syntax trivia" as properties of the AST nodes they appear near. Whitespace and comments are considered trivia.

There's always a perfectly-sounding rationale for such giving them such powers, but in the end these are always abused.
The desktop version doesn't (iirc) but they have a mobile website version, but you have to raise a support ticket manually to get access (or else you get an indistinguishable "permission denied"-like error). It's an odd requirement.... And infitely frustrating :-p

The mobile website works fairly well :-)

I actually thought this might be an avenue for someone like Lyft to excel, but alas they didn't seem any better, iirc...
it may not lead to weight gain but is still healthy to eat late dinners?

If you have chronic acid reflux (GERD), eating late makes it worse (acid comes back up when you lie down after a meal)

Eating late can also lead to worse sleep as your body is spending energy digesting food rather than repairing itself.

Personally I feel much more refreshed the next day, when dinner is around 6pm and when it is the lightest meal of the day. Practical issues aside, i cant think of any health benefits eating a late dinner.
Some people are advocating to have the largest meal in the morning, then a medium meal in the afternoon, and a light meal in the evening. (I could not find a good reference, it's something I've encountered several times in blogs).

Anyone here following such a regime, and does it work in controlling weight and feeling healthy?

If you want to promote leisure, why should that leisure be concentrated in one leisure class? What's wrong with some leisure transfers - the leisure class can do some labor so that I can also consume leisure?
Congrats on your recent 100 posts

Which makes me bring the question, is it worth it?

$3.500 / 100 posts = $35 / post (per month) = $420 / post (per year)

I understand it's a marathon though and that value compounds. When you had 10 posts you were probably not making $350 and when you have 1000 posts you will probably be making a lot more than $35.000.

I'd love to see the associated human costs and how many hours/week you are spending here, doing what and how that has evolved from the beginning (more automation, new challenges, etc).
There is a specialized application of this concept that is sometimes used in airway management during anesthesia (specifically endotracheal intubation). It is referred to as the "vortex" approach (i.e. you don't want to get get pulled into the vortex as the longer you spend there, the harder it is to get out).

There is a well produced reenactment of an anesthesia team falling victim to the "vortex" (resulting in fatal injury to their patient): https://vimeo.com/103516601

In fire and EMS we generally refer to the concept of an "accident chain". In any event where rescue personnel are injured or killed, there is a chain of events that had to take place leading up to that accident. Breaking the chain at any point would prevent the accident from occurring, and many of our procedures are built around the idea of breaking accident chains as early as possible. This is a concept that (as far as I know) originated in the aviation industry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_of_events_(aeronautics)

It's the same basic idea though... The further along the chain you allow the event to progress (even if you don't know the end result), the less margin for error you have.
"no one has any duty to provide the police with evidence as a 5th amendment protection"

I like that idea. However, the 5th amendment's protection is something different: "No person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself."

Consider the case of someone running a drug lab or counterfeiting press in their residence. Police show up with a warrant based on probable cause to search the residence. The person is required to unlock the door and let the police in because the police have a warrant. The person is not testifying against themselves, they are unlocking the lock to allow a warranted search. If they do not unlock the door after being presented with a warrant then that is a new crime they can be charged with, and the police will come in anyway.

In these cases with encryption the courts have consistently been finding that the password is comparable to unlocking the door to a house to which the police have a search warrant.

It has also been counterargued that speaking or writing down a password is a form of testimony, one that can be self-incriminatory, and therefore is protected by the Fifth. Most courts have not been sympathetic to this argument, though there has been one exception.

In this case the man is in possession of a lawful order from a judge to facilitate a search and he is refusing to cooperate. Thus the judge jails him until he decides to cooperate with the lawful order from the judge. This is how it is done.
Bingo. Right now the way to do lid close detection on Linux is via systemd-logind(?!). More and more of what used to be individual projects under the freedesktop umbrella gets lumped into the system blob, and thus one is required to either use systemd wholesale or effectively recreate the Linux "desktop" from scratch.
Excuse me but you think anecdotal comments degrade HN based on your dislike of them, so the solutions is a natural language processing plugin to filter them out?

I mean I also think - based on my personal experiences of natural language processing (which are limited) and my readings in the field which are also not as extensive as they could be - that filtering out anecdotal comments (as opposed to low quality comments in general) would be a difficult task - but probably the solution is just to wait a few more years given current rate of progress in the field.

It's just - I think there are problems with this idea.
Yes. That's the problem with the whole "this is a government of laws, not men" idea. The laws are always, always interpreted by men. They are enforced (or not) by men, at their discretion.

It's much like the "thou shalt not kill" commandment in the Bible. It's there in black and white, and about as clear and simple as you can get. Yet plenty of Jews and Christians kill, and often do so eagerly and joyfully, even thinking they are doing God's work. As the old saying goes, "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition." Or "Onward, Christian soldiers!"

S3 also has a built-in function to perform a Lambda operation on each upload, which makes it more confusing.

I mean, the README is excellently written and makes clear what the project does, so it's not a big deal beyond the ambiguous name.
It's only bizarre because we've been brainwashed in our youth years into thinking highly of USA, and our adult selves still mourn the loss of simple ethical compass, but that was always only imaginary.
This is helpful and gives me some new ideas to try. Thankyouverymuch
I don't see why you have to attack the article's author. If you disagree with what he does, it might actually be interesting to read why. Instead you attack him from a moral high ground you don't even hold, assuming he is doing something immoral or unethical when he simply disagrees with your values.

Someone who disagrees with your values isn't necessarily immoral or unethical just because they disagree with you.
EU regulates what conditions "free range" has to meet to be called like that. I am sorry that it's different in US.
Brwanjeya – Mills Games Online
I don't know about such a fiction but I guess that would be it.

If we are persistent and unforgetting, this might become a reality one day. We should find "such people" in every generation and make sure they don't have a chance to do such mistakes to pay for them later, but on the question of payment we should be adamant.

The trick here is to not be conflict-averse and not be a slave of own wallet but to care about justice even after the years.
And CBP would still not be the right agency to determine that.
Yes, they are the same assuming ¬¬ϕ = ϕ. But, one interpretation of mathematical truth is something like this:

1. A proposition is the name of a set/type whose elements are proofs of the proposition.

2. A proposition is provable if its set/type is nonempty/inhabited.

3. Implication can be modeled as a function space X → Y. There is some restriction on the kinds of functions allowed, but "continuous" seems to be kind of the idea, in particular only compositions of known continuous functions.

4. The set for "contradiction" is ⊥, which ought to be empty.

5. For negation, we take ¬ϕ to mean ϕ → ⊥, that is, with the truth of ϕ we may construct a contradiction.

6. It is not hard to prove that ϕ → ¬¬ϕ, which is ϕ → ((ϕ → ⊥) → ⊥). In fact, rewriting this as ϕ → (ϕ → ⊥) → ⊥, we can just use "flip ($)" in Haskell, so to speak.

7. But, ¬¬ϕ → ϕ can't be proved directly. The double negation (ϕ → ⊥) → ⊥ as a function space is empty if ϕ is false and has exactly one element if ϕ is provable, so ¬¬ϕ → ϕ would mean that if ϕ is not false then one could obtain one of the proofs of ϕ. You can prove ¬¬(¬¬ϕ → ϕ) directly, though. ("It is not false that ϕ follows from ϕ being not false.")

7.5. I personally find that it is easier to think of ⊥ as an indeterminate set you don't know the elements of rather than just assuming it is empty, for the purpose of understanding the function space interpretation of implication.

8. If you care about classical logic, you can prove that double negation is a monad. It actually turns out that ¬¬¬¬ϕ → ¬¬ϕ, so you only ever need to have a single level of double negation. Double negation from the point of view of function spaces takes empty/nonempty sets to empty/singleton sets.

Here's an answer to why stress the difference: sometimes you want to know if the best you can say about a proposition is that it isn't false. That way, you know whether its proof suggests an algorithm for calculating whatever the theorem was about. But if you don't care about the difference, then you can stay inside the double negation monad to get classical logic.
If you love board games like mills, you'll adore our board game of the week Brwanjeya. We reviewed this ultra-fun game few days ago, and we are still playing it.

I said it's technically a piece of garbage, confirming that it fits very much in the topic of "poorly written but very successful"

That 25% of sites use it just proves the successful part, and says nothing about how appropriate it is technically.
Partisan Gerrymandering and the Efficiency Gap
They can't search him when he is leaving, so that does make sense.
A search warrant does not really require the target to 'allow' the police to search; the target could choose not to cooperate and police would break into the home, for example. As far as I can see, it is lawful to the target to do this. Similarly, in Rawls's case, the government is free to attempt to bruteforce the passphrase without Rawls's cooperation.
The article cites major caveats -
1. Cohort size of children eating after 8pm is much smaller than before - mostly because the kids are in bed by then ( they are looking at 4-10 year olds )
2. Self reported Food Diaries are seldom accurate.
3. This study is the first of it's kind.

Supper timing is majorly correlated to weight gain, especially if most of the calories are from carbs. Simple rules like NCA5 or NCA6 ( no carbs after 5pm ) easily influence weight loss in teens & adults. I wouldn't try this hack with 4-10 year olds, but once you are in the teens, it is a nice simple body hack.

I hope you realize the job of the president is to instruct these agencies on how to conduct their operations. Don't defend people (CBP employees) which are are acting immorally, and possibly illegally. The Nazis said they were "just doing their job", and that defense did not stand up at the Nuremberg trials.

Anyone who enforces orders of questionable legality is part of the problem (such as those executing these race or religion based searches).

I didn't write the and test code myself so you can label that as appealing to authority all you like but I have looked into it and understand the benefits of moving the witness to a subtree of the merkle root so that it can be dropped when it is no longer needed as well as the other changes that are included in the update that allow further soft fork changes enough to see the benefits. I don't just accept someone saying it is good or bad.

Can you explain why such an obvious refactor that is backward and forward compatible isn't a clear benefit?

No it isn't sufficient and won't instantly increase the transaction throughput but the the arguments against it that I've heard are weak and almost all political and could also be argued as appeal to a different authority.

There are two visions of what people see as scaling and are pushing for, on-chain and off-chain. Segwit helps both so being against it can only be politically motivated.
Yes, it's true that in a city with an artificial housing scarcity like NYC, AirBnB alters the distribution of who gets to consume housing. It opens the market to people who wouldn't otherwise be able to purchase.

Similarly, if we allow illegal immigrants to rent flats then that will also push rents higher. Should we attempt to prevent this as well? If not, why not?

You come across strong. No one is blaming AWS.
I find the anti-AirBnB comments on this site quite confusing, because in most other cases HN seems to be pro-free markets. If a landlord wants to rent their place out to short-term tenants, and tenants want to rent it, and AirBnB want to act as a marketplace, I can't see what the harm is.

You don't have any right to say who comes and goes to your neighbours' properties, any more than they have any right to say who comes and goes to your property.

If you want to decide who gets to stay in a given house, you should buy that house. Otherwise it's none of your business.
Yeah - this is something I have noticed too: if someone blindfolded me, took me on a plane and removed the blindfold after depositing me in a random capital, in the heart of the main shopping area... it will be almost impossible for me to guess where I am.
It will have: Benetton, Starbucks, Lego, an Apple store, Muji, Zara, Nike...

At best I could guess if I am in Europe (Tiger?) or in Asia (Kanji/Hanzi interspersed with the main logos).
They can hack his computer before nabbing him, grab tons of his data from connected providers, get a warrant to sneak in and plant one of several type of bugs that would allow them to aquire his pass phrase. Burst in while the machine is on and aquire the unlocked data or get the key from ram.

Failing that they can convict him based on other evidence or at least convince him that they can and cut a deal for access.

In the vital cases which are normally cited as examples of why we must allow cops to violate our right options abound.

What's left is petty crap and police incompetence which serve as poor justification for giving up our rights.
I was a small kid and my kids are small. I've always found late dining to be uncomfortable as I'm too hungry. Thankfully, it isn't cultural in the areas of Canada and USA where I've lived.

I like it and I think this is the general direction that creating applications will look like in the future.

But don't throw away text-based programming yet; the wiser move would be to combine the two.

Find use-cases were visual DeepUI style programming shines and is vastly superior to text-based programming, but let me polish the details with old-school text source code.

There are apps which already do a lot of this, for example Unity - you can assemble your scenes and animations visually and tune it up with code.
Ok, I can prepare a more detailed textual response for anyone who is interested, but for a very deep and thorough exposition of the topic, I really do think the _video evidence_ within the film will do more justice than I ever could

Upon Tito's death in 1980, Western European and US political and business interests _systemically destroyed_ Yugoslavia, undeniably.

They did so to "fight communism", "promote democracy", and more importantly, bomb Yugoslav mines, factories, etc that were competing with Western ones both in Yugoslavia and abroad.

Everyone from the IMF, UN, World Bank, Reagan Admin, Bush Admin, Clinton Admin (and all of their supporters like Biden and Albright), Germany, etc etc, all of these participants were DEEPLY and PUBLICLY involved.

The end result was the bombing of all ethnicities of people, including the ones that were supposed to be being "liberated", such as the Bosnians and Albanians.

So, lastly, to tie it back into my original point. In my opinion, if you view all of this video evidence, and still say "ONLY THE (democrats, republicans) DID THIS), then you are denying the vast evidence that it was a cross party, multi decade plan.

I hope you can take the time to reply on the quality of my analysis!
So you are putting forth the idea that all forms of personal service require sacrificing dignity? What does equality even mean with respect to one's work role?
40% is 'widely supported'.

That there is a 60/40 split in a demographic over some political issue, I don't think has anything to do with anything tangent from that. Wide pluralities of pro-Brexit people are actually pro-Europe. Anti EU != Anti Europe, or anti anything else for that matter.

Once those young people grow up a little bit, experience the world, and see how European politics work, how currencies work, and see the implications of all of that, they might be more pragmatic about it, and possibly pro-Brexit.

When I was younger and lived in Europe, I was 'default pro EU', because I knew little about it. Now that I know a lot more, I'm much, much more skeptical for example.

But most relevant to the article, I don't think it has anything at all to do with 'travel' ... neither does Trump.
He's asking: Do you want to win? Or do you just want to be right?

Yes, Apple Pay is different – Apple partners directly with banks (and charges a nice percentage along the way). Your device communicates directly with your bank for Apple Pay, which enables this kind of feature. I don't know whether it is push or pull though.

Whatever that was it clearly wasn't a criminal act or he'd have been charged for whatever it was. No further evidence has come to light after 16 months. That's far beyond "reasonable suspicion."

If the police can't find evidence of a crime then this guy should be released, even if he's the reason they can't find it.
That's how some employers (mine included) already handle work-owned electronic devices: going overseas -- either leave yours behind or pick up a loaner that will be fully wiped on arrival.
