Every response is karma suicide, however, I am obviously referring to this exact specific case.. One would traditionally assume that posting a gif is not a crime, no matter the gif (with a few exceptions in the law such as certain types of pornography), in THIS case, the person I am responding to claims it is a crime because of the intent. And the precedent I am discussing is apparently whether or not posting a 'gif' image is assault, regardless of intent, which you are implying this case would claim. Please see my other comment, the one(and the paragraph) talking about 'kittens'. Explain to me the difference between this specific case and that one? How about those gifs which tell you to stare at the optical illusion, and after an arbitrary amount of time, show a terrifying skeleton. Is it a crime to post that without sufficient warning?(assuming it hurts someone psychologically - please apply this assumption to all of the following hypotheticals) Those would never 'go viral' if they contained warnings, obviously, and could be extremely and permanently damaging to certain people with relevant psychological conditions. If it isn't a crime to share those images, is it a crime to post them on an anxiety subreddit? If not, is it a crime to post them on an anxiety subreddit, with intention to trigger panic attacks, or similar, in their users? Is it a crime to email those to a person who enjoys optical illusions, has severe panic disorder and ptsd, and several heart conditions? how about with the intent to kill them? Does intent dictate criminality here? If not, what makes it criminal? Number of people affected by a given condition?
Please continue down-voting each of my replies(so I am discouraged from proving my argument) and assume whatever titles are associated with that sort of behavior.
Edit: Also worth noting that getting convicted is mostly irrelevant to my argument. I am trying to bring attention to the burden this sort of thing could put on a legal system, especially if it was 'weaponized,' as well as the burden of legal fees, time, and negative publicity, false claims like these would have on the defendant.
1) He didn't deny that crying is therapeutic in the emotional sense (in that you feel good afterwards); only that the expulsion of tears or the quavering of breath serves no regulatory function physiologically. Just because it feels good after those things happen doesn't mean they caused it.

2) His point is that the urges to cry and feeling good afterwards are evolved instincts to coax you to do something socially useful, i.e. to signal to your kin that you're in distress. The tears and sobbing are the signal; an effect of your emotional state, not the cause of it. The tears are intended to act on your peers, not your physiology. When they've done their job, you're relieved.

In other words, the "symptoms" of crying are probably arbitrary and could have been any number of things that accomplish the goal of signalling, because there is no reasonable physiological connection to the display and the change in emotional state.

3) Exercise is not a good analogy because it has a direct physiological effect on your system. It is exercise which strengthens your muscles and cardiovascular system, not any other activity. Thus it makes sense that we feel internally rewarded for having exercised, because the activity is directly needed in some sense to maintain homeostasis. Compare this to his hypothesis about crying, which is that if its purpose is truly to be a signal, it would have made just as much sense for us to evolve to, say, shiver, or urinate, or faint, or vomit, or convulse, or do any other highly recognizable behavior involuntarily to indicate distress to our peers.
Ask if they are a charity and charge them more if they are?
It's a good question. I've seen some studies that show better recovery from exercise if it is followed by a steam or sauna. I don't think we know enough to determine what the dose-response curve looks like.

Related: the science is far from complete on cold exposure, but cryotherapy (cold air or ice baths) seems to enhance recovery for endurance training, but it strangely reduces progress in strength training, at
least if it is done immediately following exercise. There is speculation that cold exposure reduces the post-exercise inflammation response enough to limit the body's repair response. This might not be the case if you do cold exposure outside of the post-exercise window (but this hasn't been studied afaik). Once again all credit to Rhonda Patrick who covers this in one of her videos on cryotherapy.

It's plausible that someone could genuinely (if unjustifiably) believe that the Earth is flat.

Naked Capitalism made a good argument that Uber cannot experience economies of scale with its costs the way Amazon could when it scaled. Why? Because Amazon's fixed costs were... well.. fixed.

Unlike Amazon, Uber faces massive variable costs in driver recruitment/onboarding, legal regulations and local advertising.

Seriously. The rules needed to onboard a driver in Alberta, Canada are completely different from New South Wales, Australia. You can't automate driver recruitment/onboarding in either of these cities because these markets have passed actual legal regulations to allow ridesharing that require unique, but idfferent things (e.g. like market-specific commercial drivers licenses, background checks... or filling out registration forms made by the jurisdiction).
That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, if anything this type of attack only gets more practical as the cost to compute a collision dwindles. It's not like a 0-day vulnerability.

I'm also not aware of any significant recent attempt at mitigating SHA-1 collisions that would've suddenly made the attack impractical. And in general these collisions are pretty difficult to exploit since you can't control the collision exactly.
Yes!

Diversity. All systems have failure modes (current fav: utility monsters).

By combining multiple systems, you limit the severity of a failure of any one system. All participating systems must be in a failure mode for the overall systems to be in a failure mode.

If the Supreme Court were elected, it would suffer from basically the same failure modes as other elected offices, and would be able to provide a systemic durability against those failure modes.

A footnote of history, but fraternities were once known for intense competition and a yearly tug of war between houses was common. Part of the history of tug of war I guess?

Who are you, to tell this? Some authority on HN? If so, where should I know this from?

If so, is this an official warning?

If so, how should I have been notified about this? Because I accidentally saw this comment while looking for an older thread. How are you notified of this reaction in this case? Does this cool forum engine notify mods about user activity, but not users about mod activity, or simply you may or may not lurk here once again, to respond?

Did you read the original comment I reflected on?

Are you affilated with the commenter?

Why and how is this a personal attack? What is the highest amount of critique one can say, which does not violate someone's "safe-space" and is acceptable without a "trigger warning"? Is the USA getting totally bleached of public conversation? Can I even write, I don't agree to you , and your style is not nice, or even this is too harsh and personal, or should I write Nice comment instead, for comments I don't agree with and the style is pretty rude?

It goes to show that regardless of what protection encryption theoretically provides, security is only as good as the weakest link in the chain. Torture in some fashion is _always_ an option to force decryption.

The same goes for constitutional protections. The more time goes on, the more constitutional protections will be attacked and minimized.

The fact that a child pornography case is being used to break encryption via the courts should come as no surprise. Emotion is being used to broaden the power of the courts.
Hi!

A lot of the jobs on fossjobs.net are remote work. In fact, you can directly see the job's location on the job listing. It's definitely worthwhile reaching out to the project to ask.

And of course we would list openings in India, as we would list foss jobs in any place. If you hear of any, please let us know! The easiest way to do that is to cc @fossjobs_net on Twitter.

The supreme courts and indeed the judicial branches role is spelled out in the constitution they aren't given unlimited discretion to rule by fiat they are given the power within the boundaries written into law by the legislative and enacted by the executive to interpret the law. Don't like their interpretation? The other branches have the power to change the underlying law. Your statement is the sour grapes of those whose wishes are too unpopular to become the law of the land.
Thought experiment: What if there were an encryption system whereby if a user inputs one decryption key, the encrypted data decrypts to one set of values and if the user uses a second key, it decrypts to a second set of values.

Sure, in order to encode both sets of data into a single encrypted result would require more storage space, but that is a small price to pay for protection against self incrimination from our ever growing police and surveillance state.

The end of the article captures why this idea would be so effective, viz. "The authorities, however, said no testimony was needed from Rawls. Rather, they said, 'he can keep his passwords to himself' and 'produce his computer and hard drives in an unencrypted state.'"

It is absolutely true and valid that the government has the right to compel people to hand over evidence that they are KNOWN to possess (in the same way that legal discovery is essential to civil cases). The line the government is drawing between self-incrimination and forced cooperation in an investigation is they they don't want him to tell them the password or what is on the drives -- they simply want him to hand over the drives in an intelligible state. Thus, if one could decrypt the drives to an intelligible set of data but not the data they desire, then you would be complying with the court order and could not be held in contempt.

Can someone on HN who knows more about cryptography help poke holes in my idea?
Without excusing the act, I think part of why people minimize or dismiss the potential damage for acts like these is because they feel like it can't be that bad if it's that easy to do.

Thanks for the lucid explanation.

What befuddles my non-lawyer mind is that why such evidence is needed in the first place. If it's established firmly that someone has piles of illegal files, then for the sake of their incrimination, why do the files need to be produced at all?

If on the other hand, the files are being requisitioned for purposes unrelated to the the defendant's current outstanding culpability, then what laws does that kind of thing fall under?

Well, they do benefit from globalisation, they can all afford flatscreen TVs, and a mobile device with internet access, for example. Stuff is incredibly cheap in the US, and is getting cheaper all the time.

The US has a really bad track record when it comes to distributing the gains of globalisation in terms of disposable income, it is absolutely not the case that "a rising tide lifts all boats", because the gains have predominantly gone to the upper and upper-middle classes, screwing the middle and lower classes over.

Other western countries have managed this much better, and redistributed the gains more evenly. That the US sucks at redistribution, is not a case against globalisation, but that unfortunately doesn't stop the uninformed populist-in-chief and his angry supporters from blaming all their woes on globalisation.
Sounds like the threat is not about generic attack against airplanes, but more targeted towards specific people traveling from certain countries to US.

These studies are usually done as cohort studies. Meaning the study group shares a defining trait (such as the same date of birth).

Obviously this is not as great as a double-blind study. But you can't let one group do real exercise and the other one placebo exercise. So the cohort study is probably the best possible study design in this case.

The people doing these studies try very hard to minimize biases (sometimes failing, but ruling out every possible biases is hard).

This is possible, at least in some contexts. I'm no expert, but the bitcoin wallet, Trezor, has implemented this - known as "plausible deniability".

The idea is if you are compelled somehow by force to unlock your bitcoin wallet, you can use a secondary password that assumingly has less bitcoin than your regular bitcoin wallet.

2. Cherish: Science shows that people who are thankful - on a daily basis - are usually happy and thus thrive. It's not the other way around. Success is not the reason for happiness. The reverse is true
3. Commitment: I simply love to give all I have to projects. Because it's trough ownership that I really make a difference
If I understand the parent post, it's basically protecting you against the "leading questions" of investigation...?

You opening the safe cannot be used as evidence against you; that would cause your action to be "testimonial", and protected. The contents of the safe are evidence, and not testimonial.

If I'm understanding this correctly; it would be like saying "open the safe with the illegal weapons in it", and pointing at the safe. If you open it, does that mean you're admitting the weapons are illegal?
