skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Is your concern the same whether a single static key used for the entire message vs. a cryptosystem that offers forward secrecy; or solely based around the idea that having the (encrypted) content publicly disseminated in the first place is an unacceptable risk that enables offline cryptanalysis and, in the case of a very patient attacker, data hoarding?

Is your threat model different from, say, a state-level MitM, who today can record IP traffic that happens to include TLS and simply wait the equivalently long time until the underlying ciphers are broken and obsolete? Is the information being exchanged of such sensitivity to require outlasting a typical human lifespan, making the possibility of offline cryptanalysis, enabled by the dissemination of still-encrypted content, an unacceptable risk?

If the cryptosystems themselves have comparable properties, do ancillary factors make, say, the I2P DHT usecase worse than the TLS-over-the-public-web usecase, given that a darknet overlay network typically has a self-selecting clientele vs. the vast numbers of people defaultly using TLS, making publicly accessible but encrypted blobs traversing the former more tempting targets in a smaller haystack?

I would agree with this, governments (western at least) have distorted the measurement of so many statistics (inflation in Canada is <2% because they essentially exclude housing costs, as if that's a minor part of a typical family's budget) that historical comparisons are a joke.

I've had a question about Japan for a long time I hope someone reading may have some insight:

The nature of the Japanese workplace and society is so unique on the planet, does anyone know if there has ever been an in-depth economic study trying to translate some of it into numbers?

For example, on one hand you have the negative economic effect of "overstaffing" (my word), or having employees doing really quite unnecessary (ignoring a variable increase in pleasantness) things. Or, staying until 10PM pretending to work. Both of these must hurt productivity numbers big time.

But on the other hand, Japan enjoys a relative lack of expenses for many societal ills like various crimes, welfare, drug abuse, etc which would to a degree cancel out the above expenses.

It's obviously very complex, but I wonder if anyone has ever made a competent attempt at putting some of this into numbers?

It's so cheesy and poppy, and I'll listen to it for hours at a time.

I doubt any sane investor would think like point (1).

I would follow ETH only because it's backed by the original developers. The reversion happened only because member(s) of Ethereum Foundation personally invested in DAO, so they easily could and did push hard at the root (devs). Even with all that, there's no certainty that another big mistake will be reverted by devs' will or even be technically possible having to deal with Turing completeness and zk-SNARKs "soon (TM)".

I don't know. There's a "sportsmanship" mythos out there, but I'm not sure it's the dominant one.

I see a lot more of the love-my-team-hate-your-team culture in sports that looks a lot like modern "my team" politics. I'm just struggling with the implication of that. Do we encourage rabid sports fandom to give a relatively harmless space for the tribal impulse? Or does it just train people to support their parties and politicians the same way they support their favorite jerseyed heroes?
The AGPL closes no such loophole. It says you must make the source available if you distribute the output of the program itself over a network, e.g. in the case of an open source web application. This is something the GPL itself goes out of its way to allow (unless your output is the program itself).

So it falls squarely under distributing the program, which you didn't have permission to do without the license itself.

> But not if your usage includes building upon it[...]

Building upon it & distributing the result, but yes, this is what OSS is great for, but unrelated to my point that you as a user can completely ignore the license & don't have to know about it. You can just follow standard copyright law.

> It's like they don't even try

It's often because the ad is "fake" in the sense that is is a mandatory first step before applying for a temporary foreign worker because they "couldn't find" a Canadian to fill the job. I know someone who worked at a foreign recruitment company so I know all about the outright fraud that goes on.

I also know someone that works at a company that sells relatively large $ commodities into China, so I get to see all the fraud of how Chinese do business (big deals being chopped up into smaller pieces and deposited into "nieces and nephews" accounts, etc).

I refuse to believe the Canadian government isn't well aware this is all going on (for example, it accidentally leaked that they don't audit suspicious real estate deals if a non-Canadian is involved as it might be perceived as racist), which is pretty damn depressing considering more and more people including high paid professionals are struggling financially.

From FT: Overall, 19 per cent of MBA graduates from the class of 2012 started their own company.

This is the average over all schools in their global ranking, and the US has most positions in the top 25 [1].

Meanwhile, only ~300 persons for every 100k start companies per month in the US [2]. Even assuming none start more than one per four years (which is doubtful), that's only 14.4% of the overall population over four years.

For me, Google is a failure under the very same rule that makes MBA-driven businesses a failure for society. I.e. I'd actually prefer more business to be Google-like "failures".

For example, talk what you like about how Android is crap, but who'd you trust more with mobile OS - Google, or Samsung? Siemens? Oracle?
I hoped they did it to prove themselves that advertisers will use such capabilities to take advantage of innocent filterless future consumers, but that would require a diametrically inverse interpretation of results.
Having worked in advertising, I feel we should have heavy-handed restrictions with regard to advertising to minors. Given the potential for abuse, I would recommend enforcing equal restrictions on targeting based on the current emotional state. Irrational decisions are the motor of many successful marketing campaigns (things like anchor pricing are the norm). Letting advertisers sophisticate the message according to the customers emotional state, is like giving sudo privilege to a bitlocker. The metrics on their dashboards do not include morals. We have to stay on top of this.

Unless you live on a mountain-top or near minefields, walking is still very easy compared to most other options except sitting and laying on a bed.

And even if you do live in such a place, it's usually pretty trivial to find a non-mountainous/non-obstacled path to walk in the surrounding area. Didn't say it has to be just next to your door.

Totally unsurprising. I mean, people don't actually think FB is a positive force in the world do they?

The science is clear on human's capacity for meaningful/real realtionships (it's a pretty small number), the anecdotal evidence is also fairly clear on FB's real contributions to society (it's not positive).

FB really is the poster child for just how willing we are as a species to roll around in our own feces. It's most definetly a sad commentary on where we are at in general as a society and the contribution it made to the last electoral shitshow is just icing on the cake.

Wow, that's bonkers.

I wonder if any of these papers has definitely convinced a decision-maker to pursue or avoid a particular course of treatment. IE, has someone literally died because of this?

It seems likely, but these papers are only a year or two old.

In any case, this kind of happening is why it's difficult anymore to see "peer review" as being tantamount to a verification that a conclusion was reached via rigorous science.

Moreover, it's what makes many people who do care about science wonder if "modern medicine" is really first-and-foremost science-based any more. There seems to be an awful lot of armchair BS making it through this process.

Just because they've changed something, doesn't mean it's positive as your making out.

Secondly, I've seen engineers running around with Facebook shirts on with the slogan "Connect the world" written on them, I would find it irritating if I couldn't see the irony in it, instead I just find it funny.

There is a lot of cognitive bias happening with people working there. They wave big money carrots to keep staff and I feel for some people it's a way of validating their ability, so they stay no matter what impact the product is having on society, even if they don't agree with it inside.
Maybe they just pointed the tablet to the government's servers instead of Google's. The rest comes out of the box..
I feel the same.

Despite what many people will tell me, handing everything to everyone hidden behind a single crypto lock feels much more dangerous than transmitting it over a wire to only the destination then storing it somewhere that some physical security can apply.

It just seems like good security-in-depth. If a flaw were found in the crypto primitives used in my network drive, an attacker would either have had to record all the data as it was being sent, or will need direct access to the drive in question.

It's just one extra step that could possibly save you.

No cryptosystem is perfect, and relying 100% on just the crypto means that if an attack were found, it would be instantly exploitable to all of your past content without any real ability for you to update or delete it.

> Are you imagining that people who would be forced to live in tenements simply poof out of existence because the tenements are not built?

No obviously not. But that doesn't mean we should encourage tenements either.

There are still hungry/starving people on the street, but we don't eliminate the FDA and let companies sell tainted meat and dairy to "solve" that problem.

Part of living in modern society is some basic minimum standards of quality and safety. Obviously those can be abused, but Seattle simply isn't doing that. 220sqft is a totally reasonable minimum. Requiring every unit have at least a bathroom and a non-bathroom sink is a totally reasonable minimum.

> It's a maddening fallacy when talking about housing construction that you can prevent prevent poverty from existing by prohibiting the kind of housing...

Your inventing this fallacy. No one seriously thinks banning tenements will solve homelessness.

The goal of banning tenements is to prevent companies from exploiting people and profiting from them -- building tenements actually takes society away from the solution, by wasting land and money that could have been spent on housing.

We could house everyone, we have the technology, we have the capital. Requiring that housing to be safe simply is not an impediment to that goal in any way.

Just the most important things in life: family structure, pregnancy, race, God, health issues, etc. List all the things that are inappropriate to talk about in an interview. Then realize they come up again when you are a candidate for a new promotion or transfer.

Plus, increasingly employers are taking positions on things. We don't exactly call them out on that.
OCaml, Objective Caml, has a built-in Object system. Objects are immutable which prevents them from carrying identity (though mutation can be opted into to recover this). They're also "just" row-typed records. Classes are a form of constructor function which have inheritance for code sharing purposes. This isn't emulating objects with lambdas, but it is a well-articulated idea of what objects in a pure-ish FP setting might look like.

There have been many attempts to bring various forms of "object" into Haskell. It tends to be either a very simple or a very messy affair. On the messy side, strict purity blows up object identity again and there are only very messy ways to recover it. This makes most OO such a pain that you're more likely to factorize it into smaller pure components which appear more functional.

On the simple side, corecursive patterns are distinctly "object like" and are used all the time. Laziness gives you infinite data structures which, in effect, give you a limited form of mutability which can be incredibly helpful while still be easy to reason about.

---

Finally, I think that practically there is a strong case to be made for introducing actor-like objects into Haskell. It has a great runtime and exception system to support it, and it would allow a bit more structuring "at the highest level" of application architecture. Today these are often managed as imperative programs (built an IO chunk, execute it). This tends to work, but Erlang did it better.
Kind of buried near the end of the article, but as ESPN moves away from sports reporting in favor of opinion there might be some great opportunity for alternative reporting. Deadspin comes to mind.
>My definition of an object is "an ADT that gets to 'decide', using private runtime state, what to do in response to any/all attempts to interact with it." Which makes for a very simple test: if something is an object, you should be able to send it a message that makes it change its mind about what messages it accepts after that.

Your criterion doesn't match your definition.

Specifically "you should be able to send it a message that makes it change its mind about what messages it accepts after that" doesn't logically derive from "an object is an ADT that gets to 'decide', using private runtime state, what to do in response to any/all attempts to interact with it".

The second not only needs:

a) an object is an ADT that gets to 'decide', using private runtime state, what to do in response to any/all attempts to interact with it

but also implies b:

b) you can interact with the object and alter its private decision making process (and not just partially, e.g. only alter the data part of its runtime state).

Social media has changed the way our society works, how families, politics and friendships work, and Facebook played a big part in that.

The problem is that we do not know what we would have gotten instead. Before Facebook (et al.) became big, more of my regular friends/family were on Jabber/XMPP. People were creating blogs that were not locked in a silo (Wordpress and Blogger were quite usable for non-experts). Etc.

And this happens because there is a dichotomy; a free society with only one class of participant vs a society with free people and slaves. The marketplace always has at least two classes, buyers and sellers. Buyers are typically those with liquid negotiable assets and sellers those with less liquid / negotiable assets; the most common liquid negotiable asset being cash. So when there is more than one class then there is a much higher probability that one party will have more "power" than the other, cf voters vs representatives in representative democracies, multi-national companies vs individual consumers.
