Most of these locks could be scrubbed with a rake too (which can work over a large range of lock models). Most locks being easy to pick is nothing new.
I'm skeptical too, but very open to change my mind, so I'd love to hear how we're wrong.
My example was one many human questions where "math" provides no objective answer, because not every question has an objective answer, particularly some questions of morality, fairness, or personal taste.

Some more examples:

* Is it okay to jaywalk with children across a busy street?

* Is it fair to give the bigger piece of chicken to the boy, rather than the girl, because "he's a boy"?

* Which is better-tasting, peaches or plums?

(I'm not arguing for moral relativism. There are some moral questions where everyone agrees on the answer.)

These articles are junk without also discussing divorce and children being raised by single mothers. Divorce destroys wealth(hurts gdp), and single moms in general produce sub-par results at best. Generally they are slut and thug factories. Try modeling that nerds. America is economically under-performing because of those two reasons. Expect more Trump like politicians in the future if you refuse to admit that women's lib is bad for the economy.

Edit: The ideological bias is showing in the downvotes. I thought you guys were all smart, data driven go getters? Use facts to prove me wrong instead of those primitive Trumpian emotions.

If we're using market power as a justification for regulating privacy policies (which I think is perfectly reasonable), it makes no sense to draw a magic line with ISPs. With ISPs, we're basically talking about de facto as opposed to de jure monopolies (which distinguishes them from the Post Office, which retains certain monopoly protections in law). But lots of companies have tremendous de facto market power. Nearly the whole market is encompassed by just two desktop operating systems, two mobile operating systems, two search engines, and one social media platform.

Sure, I could use Google+ and convince all my aunts and uncles in Bangladesh to use that so I can share photos of my daughter with them, but I could also subscribe to any of a number of satellite or DSL providers for broadband. If we are talking about viable, interchangeable alternatives, the reality is that there is very little choice in any of these markets. High barriers to entry limit those choices in broadband, and networking effects limit those choices in the area of search engines, social networking, etc.

If market power is the justification for regulation, it makes no sense to not regulate any entity that has sufficient market power to implicate privacy concerns. Or, how about we just make it illegal to use private information for marketing purposes? Wouldn't that be simplest? Why do we need to engage in all this hair splitting?

They aren't allowed to sell or release personal identifiable information. That's not the case for server providers as they aren't considered carriers, and thus aren't beholden to the Telecommunications Act of 1986 in the same way your ISP is.
Sounds really interesting - post it on HN whenever you publish?

I like the idea of VR/AR user interfaces where light rays bend interactively according to controller/gaze position. So for example by looking at the edge of an object the light rays bend so you see behind it. Or by looking off into the horizon the entire landscape folds over like in these photos. Possibly vomit-inducing and useless, but I still want to try it.
It helps to identify users in the real world for long term.

It's relatively common to have multiple email addresses. Fewer people buy extra SIM just to have a pseudonym.

If the website decides to sell your information to advertising companies, banks or insurance companies, they can use phone number to attach users even if the other identifying information is false or slightly different. It adds directly into the bottom line.

Carlos Danger needs dual SIM phone.
I do think it is a useful exercise though to go through your entities and see if these various "components" or attributes of one entity make sense with another entity. Like, if you have a RTS with some resources and units, which of the units' attributes could apply to a resource? What if a resource could attack? Or if it could move (e.g. deer in AoE)? Or maybe it can be destroyed and explodes doing damage with a large blast radius. I think as a practice this approach generates a lot of creative ideas and leaves an opening for making these changes late into the process of programming a game.

May I ask: If you are not an expert and only have opinions and "very limited understanding on the subject", and if we consider this subject to be extremely complicated and research-heavy, why do you then put so much effort in writing a lengthy comment and what's the value of it for others?

Or are you actually an expert and were just trying to be humble?
What makes a lock strong?

Against forced entry, standard cylinder locks are inherently weak, because they're just not big enough. It's often possible to force the cylinder to turn, shearing off the pins. Especially if the pins are brass. Locks need to be much larger than usual to resist forced entry. Here's a classic mechanical prison door lock.[1] It's a straightforward lever lock, but it's far larger.

There used to be a thing for "detector" lever locks; if you push a lever too far, it trips the detector, and you have to put in a key and turn it the wrong way to reset before you can try again. Those were once claimed to be unpickable. They're not, but it slows things down a lot.

That would be my guess, considering that it's a bit too hard-sci-fi of an explanation to fit in with the space opera writing of Star Wars.

Interesting idea - adding whitelisted domains to bypass the VPN. We will investigate this. Currently we recommend running 2 routers simultaneously (which do not interfere because of automatic channel switching) with the VPN chained after the normal one. This allows you to choose when to use VPN. Basically the Easy VPN Router is designed to be super easy so that non-technical people don't mess anything up. Building one yourself is tricky, especially to cover edge cases like the VPN dropping, the internet going in and out, etc.
It will probably confuse disassemblers and debuggers. Which might be a bonus, depending on what you're after.

As I said in the other comment, right now we recommend running 2 routers, and connecting to the normal router when you want to access VPN blocked services or want low-latency connections for online gaming. But we will investigate white-listing IP addresses, that would be very useful.
This is a hilariously stupid response. April Fools was yesterday. Though, I guess we can't really blame you for being a bit too slow.

Are there problem with CPU cache management? IIRC Intel Sandy Bridge and later generations has micro-ops cache (which lie after the decoder). Wouldn't this and other instruction-level polymorphism tricks severely mess up such cache?
It is much more difficult than 1 hour to setup yourself, because of FCC regulations flashing new routers is much more difficult, you need a TFTP server, it's pretty annoying. In addition the edge cases of the internet going out, then when it comes back bringing the VPN back up automatically, being able to switch PIA accounts / countries easily, it's not a simple thing. I got into this because I wanted to build one myself, and I have a friggin master's degree in CS and it took me several weekends. So I figured a business could be formed :)

Aw, come on, Kenji, you know better than that. For every president there is a group of people who blame the powers-that-be, and this group is fairly vocal, so you get to hear more from them. But the groups are small, and they are different for different presidents. You can't really say "americans blame yada yada".

Besides, the parent post didn't lay blame on Trump, it did the opposite - it said that Trump election is the consequence of immigration policy, not its cause.

While this trend is likely one of many that has resulted in Trump's ascendence, the solution isn't necessarily for the Democratic Party shifting rhetoric on social issues - the stances that the Democratic Party generally espouses on social issues are meant to help those even more disadvantaged than white men. A lot of the disconnect here is lack of empathy on both sides of the fence, but generally slanted more on those who don't understand how many more better opportunities they might have it than others.

There is some merit to what social conservatives say in that traditional white male masculinity is changing in American society. Ultimately, I view the changes as a good thing, but for those not exposed to a sphere of influence close to them where other acceptable alternatives are promoted by people they trust, they see a void in their lives that are not adequately filled. This is very much a social problem.

I don't know what the solution is - this is merely observations I have had in my interactions on both sides of the fence.
This does show how perhaps the 'op-ed' doesn't quite work in its current form on this new-fangled internet thing.

I've talked to more than one person who assumed something written on the main domain was a 'proper' article, when in actuality it turned out to be an op-ed, blog (some new site did/does this) by essentially a random person, or something like that.

Maybe people made this mistake before and I'm only noticing it now?

Then just fork Android, but in a way that let them build their own ecosystem. Otherwise they are dead.
I'm from Dallas, and we have an interesting split here.

Dallas ISD is notoriously terrible on probably every single axis; as a result, anyone who lives in Dallas ISD sends their kids to private school if they can afford it because it doesn't take much to run a school better than DISD. Seriously, every time I look at the local news, there's another DISD scandal. It's an embarrassment.

On the other hand, the suburban school districts are all excellent. Richardson ISD and Plano ISD are fantastic, as are a bunch of other school districts in the northern suburbs (I remember a friend telling me she wished she could afford to move to Prosper so she can send her kids to the excellent schools there). Not many people in the suburban school districts send their kids to private school, though it does happen occasionally (I don't know whether or not the private schools in the area are better than Plano ISD).

And here's the confusing part: school districts and cities aren't coterminal, even though the school districts are named after the cities. This is for two reasons: 1) Texas doesn't allow school districts to cross county lines (with very few exceptions), but cities cross county lines all the time (Texas counties are tiny and laid out on a grid; it doesn't make sense to limit cities to a single county), and 2) the school districts were laid out decades and decades ago based on predictions of what the cities will eventually annex, and those predictions turned out to be wrong (e.g. Dallas annexed huge swaths of territory that Richardson was expected to annex). As a result, the northern parts of the City of Dallas, which have a distinct suburban feel, are part of the suburban school districts and not Dallas ISD; most of Far North Dallas is part of Richardson ISD, and the part that's in Collin County is part of Plano ISD.

> realize that the presence of an informal fallacy in an argument does not imply that the argument is either invalid or that the conclusion is false. To give two examples: ad hominems are frequently used in moral characterizations, and most moral analogies are functional strawmen by virtue of exposing the circumstances under which a particular claim is weakest.

I love this. I did a few extracurricular courses in philosophy in university (a rather broad "General Overview" and another course on Ethics in particular). Super interesting stuff. What I learned in Ethics is useful to me almost every day (more days than not, anyway).

One thing I took from these courses is that philosophy is not quite the scientific study of learning the Great Answers to The Great Questions. It's not even quite about learning the Great Answers proposed by historical Great Thinkers.

No, The Great Questions don't really have any single correct Great Answers to go with them.

Philosophy is about learning the counterarguments to any of the proposed Great Answers by Great Thinkers, recognizing their shapes in other proposed answers, cementing the Great Questions to stay questions (which might seem disingenuous, but is only when applied without rigour).

I like your post because it applies this idea on a meta-level to the field of philosophy concerned with fallacious arguments (Logic and Eristic dialectic, if I'm not mistaken)--you provide a counterargument to the dialectic strategy of pointing out a fallacy! Nice one :)
If we want to see things began to change, we going to have to deal with this “variable.” Perhaps we should rethink our concept of incarcerating everyone found guilty of using currently illegal drugs. Maybe we need to rethink about how long felony convictions stay attached to personal records. When you can’t even rent an apartment in many states because you were a felon, and in some cases simply because you were charged with a felony at some time in the past, is it any wonder that we have large numbers of people not participating in the labor force? With 20 million former felons in America, we have attached a large anchor to our economic growth rate, and we have unfairly burdened these men and women.

Three months ago I was stopped in Vegas for jaywalking. I was (illegally) searched after not giving consent. I small amount of meth (which I was successfully using for cognitive enhancement for my job as a web app developer) and did 67 days in jail.

I lost everything. All my possessions (I was living at a weekly and they only hold stuff for 30 days). My laptops, phones, clothes, monitor etc etc. I lost my well paying remote job that I had for 2 years and was probably the best job I've ever had. Worse, I lost the respect of my boss whom I enjoyed a fruitful and meaningful professional relationship with.

The remote job was not easy to get as I have prior drug possession felonies in Florida. The idea of having to go through all the hoops to find steady work again 1. at my age 2. as a felon and 3. living in a homeless shelter is almost too much to deal with.

So I am now homeless and unemployed. I am living at the Catholic Charities shelter on Las Vegas Blvd. I recently got a hold of a laptop and am trying to cobble together my resume and find some remote work as I don't drive (I couldn't afford it anyway).

The point? It is going be almost impossible for me to replace the job I had, and in the meantime I'm suffering beyond all reasonable expectation for someone who simply was crossing the empty street with a small of amount of "drugs" on me.

Was this the outcome society wants me to have? To wreck what small success I struggled to get over what amounted to an illegal search and seizure (that's my PD talking, not me)?

Who was the victim of my "crime"? I have been using drugs for almost 40 years and am very experienced on their use for chronic pain relief and cognitive improvement, and to be honest I need it nowadays to keep my productivity high and to help with everything modern webdevs need to keep up with.

So yeah..."Men Without Work" is an ugly issue that keeps free-spirited people like me fucked up for no real reason whatsoever.
Very few other papers are in the same position as the Economist. They have brand that has exceptionally good reputation.
