Let's phrase in a different but similar way.

"48 ways the CIA uses to determine when to drone strike someone".

Wouldn't you like to know if the CIA actually uses common sense methods to determine when to assassinate someone? By the same token, we should know when the government decides to put people on no-fly lists, and all sorts of other lists.

And before you say that the CIA is an intelligence agency and therefore everything it does must be kept secret, the thing is drone strikes should not be done by the CIA. If you wage war, then it should be done in the open, lest you want a repeat of the Vietnam war (which arguably is already the case with the mostly failed, yet continuing operations in the Middle East]).

Obama actually wanted to give drone strikes to the Pentagon, but of course, Obama as a weakly-minded politician that he was that always compromised to the other side's benefit, eventually backed down and allowed the CIA to handle drone strikes.

If you don't see doing drone strikes (of which thousands were kept completely secret) against 8 different nations by a secretive intelligence agency, then I don't know what else to tell you.
That's why I specifically said nobody is obligated to protest.

Personally, I'm quite well-positioned to be able to do this. I'm a young self-employed single white man with no family to support. My net worth is probably enough to pay the legal fees (though I hope that this is the sort of case the ACLU or EFF would support).

Key backup - store it unencrypted on your own hard disk. The encryption/decryption is only for transport.

Verifiable trust - if it's a recipient you care about, you can phone them and ask if the key is correct.

Key revocation - easily done using email headers.

Portability - I proposed a portable system. Make it part of the email standard, just like the "Subject:" metadata.
The GP is presenting multiple studies in respectable journals. You'd have to show that the studies themselves are "massaging data" which you haven't attempted to do.
A highly paid political scriptwriter(& a small army of researchers) coined the phrase "climate change" and worked it into all the politicos' speeches of the day to make it stick.

Maybe. It will first arrive at San Jose's Diridon station, but the longer term plan is for the trains to go to the Transbay Terminal, which is in Downtown San Francisco.

However, a lot of things could happen, which would derail these plans.

Check out some of my last answers in this thread. I use it for:

U2F (Google, Dropbox, Facebook, Github, Bitbucket), TOTP (Slack and everybody else that does not support U2F), Yubikey OTP (LastPass), static password for luks decryption (additionally to normal password), GPG Smartcard

The only feature Im not yet using is the PIV SSH stuff.

I also just like hitting the button and printing out OTPs when Im boarded.
I'm not sure I understand either. Any one-to-one function where the name falls under the inverse image of the range works (notably, stupid things like the identity mapping along with, you know, binary representations, etc).
Just that knowledge itself isn't the end. Knowledge is just a thing, not "Truth" in and of itself. Thinking and knowledge simply obscure the perfect Truth that is this moment.

Ultimately, I can't prove anything, but given that everyone is "dispelling his teachings" and states that he wanted his "teachings" to live on, etc. -- oftentimes in the same paragraph of "but he wasn't a teacher" -- makes this whole thing seem really silly to me.

If your analogy was true, there would be a stronger moral argument for revealing such information. But it isn't. I'm talking about this very specific case.
Right, then, so these aren't really security tests. I'm suggesting you reword that bit on your page; passing test vectors doesn't make something more trustworthy; it's table stakes.

I'm not saying you shouldn't write tests for misuse cases! You should do that.

I am a convert to Islam and I say yes, I'm ready for the gap between reality and "common sense" to close on this topic.

I don't consider it offensive to talk about these issues openly because I am secure in my knowledge that Islam does not encourage terrorism. I'm more offended when people sweep it under the rug. When it's about safety, people have to leave their fears and biases at the door and accept the truth.

A typical person in some parts of America today will look at a practicing Muslim and automatically see a terrorist, but that's neither helpful nor accurate. The facts don't support that stereotype, and I think the FBI understands that. Of course ideology plays a role in detecting threats, but there are other factors that may play a bigger role, like mental health, social stability, criminal history, training in weapons, etc. If everyone understood this, it would lead to more accurate tips by the public to law enforcement, and the concept of a "Muslim ban" wouldn't be seen as productive. But the centuries-old narrative of Muslim hordes attacking the West has been revived, and that is how people see the issue, and that's unfortunate.
That's right, there are already intermittent electrical systems on cars. The blinker you mentioned is one, the voltage regulator for the instruments is another, and certainly the ignition system itself.

There are many, many ways to solve this problem. I just don't see a rather mundane engineering solution as being genius. (Cars are full of these sorts of solutions.)

How would you ever persuade people to respect principles underlying the law when you fail to punish people who are the law?

Modern justice is all like this:

We know this guy perpetrated, but it was some time ago and he's well connected and it's awkward for us so we're going to "hate his sin" but without any effect on his well-being. But you, dear listeners, please behave.

Ah, on unrelated note, we jailed a poor person for 10 years for a fraction of damage because it was politically convenient.

It's not an extreme case; it only seems so because this person is disabled and it's surprising to discover that this superficially adult person has the mind of a 9-year old. I'm using that to draw attention to the fact that kids often make terrible decisions, and there are a lot of 9-year olds buying a lot of soda whose future negative health outcomes are easy to overlook because marketing has trained people to associate soda with healthy people having fun.

I would say the same thing about children: they are the parents responsibility.

I know you would, and I think your reasoning is foolish. Many parents are clearly not responsible, either from indifference or ignorance. I am fine with government acting in loco parentis in a very narrow way (even for adults) because the negative health outcomes and their associated costs are predictable and lowering those costs has demonstrable overall utility. Available information shows this policy to function better than waiting for people to get a responsibility transplant and just shrugging our shoulders about kids who end up suffering because of their parents' poor guardianship.

How are you being 'punished' if your soda costs $0.50 more? When I smoked cigarettes I didn't feel punished by their continually-rising cost. I'd rather pay for something with a large negative externality at the point of purchase than in the form of income tax, since it's likely to be more efficient. The Coase theorem tells us that aside from transactional friction, it is no more expensive to pay up front than later, and in its role of insurer of last resort the public interest is best served by minimizing the predictable scope of the problem.

The fact that revenue ends up in the general fund is irrelevant; the objective is to reduce consumption, and soda taxes have been demonstrated to be effective in that goal. In case you're not familiar with the geography, Berkeley and San Francisco are only about 20 minutes apart by subway and travel between them for work or leisure is very common.

Trump has been making it clear for a long time that he doesn't care about following the rules. He may not have a firm grip on reality, but he's consistently prioritized short-term interests of his view of America over long-term global stability.

This is a worthy goal for any site you build, not just a blog... that said, it's not even that hard to get crazy bloated CMSes like Drupal, Wordpress, etc. as fast (or faster), as long as you set up basic caching (e.g. Nginx, Varnish, CloudFlare, etc.).

I have a basic-ish theme, and I use Drupal's AdvAgg module to aggregate and minify JS and CSS, as well as a few other tricks to get page loads smaller. Finally, I use Nginx's dead-simple proxy cache to make most page loads take < 600 ms (and faster, if you're near NYC, where my DO Droplet is located).

See, for example: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2017/tips-managing-drupal-... (~600 ms from STL, MO, USA).

Obviously, the more images and other elements (e.g. social embeds, analytics and other junk), the more time spent downloading the page.

But, IMO, there's no excuse for your personal blog to take more than 1s to render and fully deliver a page, with an exception if you embed videos/audio (e.g. podcasters).

Spiritual inquiry of this nature is not completely illogical. It's frequently shown that the free will humans believe they have is an illusion, and the topic of identification of the ego is revered enough to be included in psychiatric textbooks. The concept of consciousness is very pertinent to AI. I believe these topics are relevant enough.

You are arguing that Trump is a kleptocrat, not a plutocrat. A plutocrat derives power from wealth. A kleptocrat uses power to create or enrich her wealth. So, for example, HRC used her power as Secretary of State to enrich her wealth. She is Kleptocrat. WJC used wealth to wield power in Haiti and elsewhere. He is a plutocrat. We don't yet know what Trump is because he hasn't actually done anything and its seriously questionable if he ever will. On the other hand, he prevented a Kleptocratic/Plutocratic duo from running America, so he could retire on top today and it would be for the best.
It's way beyond not funny.
Probably not what you had in mind, but if there's a 0.1% that you have a bug in any given line (let's assume that includes bugs in how lines interact as well) - there's about a 63% chance there's at least one bug for every 1000 lines of code, if my math isn't off.

That's mostly to say: I agree with your assessment that you (and me and everyone) need help to review code and look for bugs.

>different abrahamic deity than you

A semantic correction for you, there is only one Abrahamic deity. Christians and Muslims of course made some changes to the religion surrounding the deity. However, all three religions are based around the same deity that originally spoke to Abraham. Hence the adjective "Abrahamic". I point out this correction because people often try to draw hard lines between them as entirely different religions when in actuality their teaching share more in common than they don't. And strangely enough, it seems the people who spend the most time engrossed in those teachings are the most in need of that reminder.

There are many researchers who are eager to have their work publicized, both for reasons of pride and grant-writing. They often are far from diligent in working with the journalist to make sure the article is written with sufficient modesty. Yes, universities and funders have began directly soliciting hype journalism, but the researchers themselves still benefit, and follow incentives.
The Economist limits the number of articles you can read in a week, so it's not a total paywall. The number of articles you have read in a week is stored in a cookie, as a reader of HN I think you now know what to do :-)

Please note, however, that if you clear your cookies several times in a row, they end up identifying your machine in some other way (I think IP based? But that wouldn't work for very busy IPs, e.g. busy workplace with many employees, so maybe it's IP and amount of traffic over time?).

Disclaimer: I am a paying subscriber since 2010 and have tried the above just out of curiosity.
But they are not deciding about someone's guilt or innocence here, just whether or not investigate them further.
Assuming the list was derived scientifically, then this seems like a pretty sensible and useful law enforcement tool. It can be easily filled in by front line officers and gives them a good idea which lines of investigation to pursue.
The supermarkets discovered they can get you to buy more tomatoes when there are six of them in shiny cellophane, so that's what they do. It's maddening. Not only that, it's nearly impossible not to use plastic packaging if you're not handily located near a co-op (or Unverpackt, if you're in Germany). In many cases I've been looked at suspiciously when I said I didn't need a bag for my two items at the checkout, as though there were something wrong with me. Saying "it just winds up in the back of my car" usually convinced them (never mind that I cycled there...)
A great example of what? From what I read in there, each of those falsehoods is verifiable. Which one(s) (is/are)n't?
If the extreme vetting uses the criteria in the leaked document, then I don't have a problem with that at all.

Of course, it would be silly to (for example) bar someone from immigrating solely because they played laser tag, but I'd assume they would aggregate multiple factors into a total score and measure it against some threshold.

> #1 is like asking "how can this industrial chemical company be profitable if they can't just dump their waste in the sewers?" If a business model is only profitable because they can externalize some of the problems associated with that model, it does deserve certain scrutiny and those who are harmed by the model should have some recourse.

I'm not aware of any other business that is legally required to record every customer and link them to RL identities. You can still buy things with cash.

So yeah, that is a terrible and blatantly false analogy.

> The Klim McPherson study you linked doesn't have any real conclusion and is focused on UK health, which might have different factors than US healthcare, which is privately run for the most outside of retirement.

Medicare is a public insurance scheme in the US, not private.

> None of your other cites calculate anything have to do with obesity costs in healthcare.

So you're dismissing one study ("Does Preventing Obesity Lead to Reduced Health-Care Costs?") because it uses data from the UK and ignoring the other completely ("Lifetime Medical Costs of Obesity: Prevention No Cure for Increasing Health Expenditure") why? Both are expressly about calculating costs in healthcare.

You aren't even arguing against their methodology or conclusions, just dismissing their mere existence.

> I'm sorry but you sound like a typical fat acceptance advocate trying to skirt the issue.

Bring up facts backed by studies is "skirting the issue?" What exactly does addressing the issue head on look like?

I am following the science where it leads. You can paint that as an ideology but I'd suggest dismissing studies you don't like the conclusion of is more ideological than presenting them as is. The key difference is that my views can be changed with more data, seems like your views have already been made up prior to today and you'll dismiss counter-evidence at a hand wave.

I do believe a large amount of people, in the world, think ressources will never lack. Another large amount of people do not care, and those who believe we "have a large reserve of productivity to feed both economic and demographic growth for the foreseeable future" are behaving as if there was no limit.
So whatever their belief, there is no qualitative difference between the three groups.

You need to feel constrained to act.

We have a false sense of abundance in the west, as we are draining ressources away from developing countries and our infrastructure is more robust. 2008 was also a major food crisis for the majority of the world population: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007%E2%80%9308_world_food_pri...
Although it was not felt in developed countries, the tension is real, on a very large scale.

The worst are religious natalist, and preachers of morality, who oppose beyond logic any proven fact about the state of the world.

You see homeostasis everywhere in living organisms, dynamical systems converge to energetic minima, to believe our ingenuity will allow us to fix as we go the complex system that is Planet Earth is reckless. To think we are not as fragile as the weakest link in the food chain is foolish.

I also care about democracy. I hope that in the future, the DNC doesn't collude with the mainstream media to destroy any real chances of a third-party in this country.

Since they haven't apologized to the American public for doing so and instead keep doubling-down on emotional rhetoric, I don't want them anywhere near the white house.

I really hate Trump. But I hate that you pushed me to vote for him because the alternative meant that this politically correct toxic culture would continue to saturate all parts of our society.

I support resistance. The resistance against the anti-fascists who are beating people up in our streets and threatening someone with violence for speaking their mind. If their idea is ridiculous, have a civil debate and stop using violence in an attempt to win an argument.
A large part of the established world order, for better or worse, is based on the predictability of US foreign policy.

Until it's clear that Trump is going to honor our existing agreements, continue to push for freedom of the seas, etc, that world order is going to start evolving into something different.
