As another poster pointed out, you're assuming the reports are always unique, where in reality the number of unique instances/articles facebook has to investigate is going to be less than the number of times people report something.

Also 2 million isn't "the smallest number that counts as plural millions" - anything over 1 million is considered "millions".

Lastly you seem to be assuming that this is 100% manual and that each report needs to be treated as seriously as each other report. I'd imagine that at the very least these reports will be prioritized and if something is reported once by a user who reports 100 things a week, it will probably be ignored - giving more time for higher priority things.

It shouldn't really matter, Node is quite performant nowadays, but compared to a compiled language it might be slower, but easier to write up.

Ok, but we're not talking about a specific dish, we're talking about ingredients, so to speak. It's surprising because the US has huge coasts that span climates. I was surprised by it too, and I'm from Spain, whose cuisine is unrelated to India's.

I fully acknowledged the difficulty of your task, and tried to break down feed back into specific, actionable items.

Getting constructive criticism is not always fun, but it's part of our job. Besides that some people posting there are potential customers. Why call them ranters instead of a simple, we agree to disagree?
It is quite good, but it's not perfect. The apps look non-native and the UI has many issues (e.g. entering 10 international characters quickly in the "transfer note" box pops up 10 "only latin characters" notifications), the login UI looks weird on Firefox, and http://my.n26.com/ causes an infinite loop that I reported weeks ago.

Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the service, and I use them as my bank bank, but I use Revolut (revolut.com) for my everyday transactions, just because it "feels" nicer. The transparent N26 card definitely turns heads, though, cashiers are always asking me about that.

1. They knew what Greece was up to.
2. They facilitated it - or turned a blind eye.
3. They benefited from it.

I don't see how it's unreasonable for everyone to share the blame for this. Sadly the cost can't be shared as equally as the blame.
I was on a student visa during GWB. It was bad. All my mail from home arrived opened and resealed with DHS-labeled tape. Boarder crossings were interesting, but nowhere near those when i lived in the middle east. My favorite thing was being seated beside someone who was clearly an air marshal.... armed but asleep on the aisle seat of my row.
> In most fields there is little incentive to change things when the company itself isn't too affected in case of hack.

This is steadily changing. I've had a few recent engagements where i've been asked to evaluate the security practices of potential partners and suppliers and in one case the result affected a sourcing decision.

I can see this becoming more common, which could eventuate into a credit-reporting like bureau setup to audit security and privacy practices.
Don't listen, this thing is amazing. Kudos!

This is a wonderfully hacked project, exactly what I come to find in HACKER news.

Incredible, kudos again!

> Uber card: Let’s say you give your daughter R500 pocket money each month, but you’re worried she might run out of money and be unable to afford an Uber home. So you write a little code and give her a Root card that a) gives her a limit of R500 per month, and b) lets her take as many Uber rides as she needs (enabling her to spend beyond the R500, but only for Uber)

That's the one I was thinking of, note the "lets her take as many Uber rides as she needs".
Payments for a 2-sided credit-based marketplace?
Hi,

I have been researching payment processors, and found that it is very difficult to find one that accepts the following type of company:

1. A "producer" signs up and produces content

2. A "consumer" signs up, buys a multiple of in-app "credits" - than these credits purchase "goods" from the producer

3. The producer can than "redeem" these credits for cash, effectively making the application an economy for both consumers and producers.

This seems like one of the most effective ways to build a platform, since cash incentivizes "producers" to join - and a credit system eliminates much risk of chargebacks and allows for "microtransaction" style payments (no flat fee accept on initial credit purchase).

What do you call this type of business? And are there any payment processors that support this type of business?

Well my thought is, to be really useful, there would have to be one line of LCD characters for each button. My ideal macropad would be columnar, with the display in the center, and a row of buttons laid out on the sides.

With a keypad style macropad, I don’t think I would find much practicality in just a single, global 16x2 display. Whatever is shown there could just as well be shown on-screen.

What would water my mouth is something like this, but as a programmable PC peripheral:

This is a fancier LCD tech, but dot-matrix would work just as well.

Conservative voters probably represent a much smaller portion of facebook's user base than liberal voters, given facebook's age demographics.

There is definitely an assymetry in what kind of hard-line political pages are likely to get banned. They have relaxed a bit in the last few months, but many political pages constantly have to worry about "getting zucced".

Depends on how many development VMs they have (CI boxes, jump boxes etc) and when they're off.

Typically you can save a third of those costs. We also can save a bunch of time from maintaining scripts, notifications, managing backups and sharing subsets of VMs with groups of users.
>Also, if it's that obvious, why are there many people up-voting this and even then, why would you keep stating the "obvious"?

Just because something is obvious, doesn't mean people also consider it obvious.

So, one reason to "keep stating the obvious" is to inform those people.

Compare the size and piece count to something like a large Star Wars model like the Mellenium Falcon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00WI0PJE2/), $120 for ~1300 pieces. I'm surprised this model's MSRP is so low! I would happily pay ~$200 for this.

Kerbal would likely be more expensive due to licensing fees -- the Saturn 5 is public domain.
Interesting. I was just reading about Texas barbecue a couple of days ago (in fact I have a few tabs about cuisines open in my browser right now). They said the influence was from Germans, as you said, also Czech, IIRC (for the barbecue). Apparently East, Central, West and maybe South Texas all have different styles of barbecue.

You are partly right about the need to manager deer populations but the key problem is that the cat is out of the bag, in regards to sprawl and large predators. The basic fact is that we are never going to reverse that unless there is sweeping and catastrophic changes to society. Also that leaves a HUGE reason to manage deer populations, hunting itself. Many people use hunting to supplement their normal meat supply and without some form of Government management wildlife would be quickly destroyed. See the American Bison as an example, though just one of many.

The long game towards understanding dialog – Building an effective dialog system
> A battery is "used" when it's maximum capacity is 80% of it's original capacity. The only problem is that it's much heavier for it's capacity- 25-50% heavier. For permanent storage that isn't a problem. Their value could easily be 50% of the original price or more

The above claim is exactly what made me skeptical: the greater availability of something reduces its price, so 50% of the price of a new one just doesn't sound right, unless there's some identified other immense need for them: the number of "used" batteries available to the market would be huge if the number of the buyers of the electric cars would significantly increase. That can only pull down the price of the used ones and increase the price of the new ones. The real question is where the ultimate prices would be, considering these effects.

Also, Tesla claims that their lithium batteries last extremely long, that is so if the battery's not completely discharged, but every lithium battery in every notebook I have had was the first to die or degrade very fast, even if I surely never "deep" discharged it. And it's so small compared to the ones in the car. So there is some significant difference somewhere between what's claimed and what I've personally experienced.

And what's the market for the used up consumer electronics lithium batteries?

Also in 2013 Musk's company claimed the Model S makes 176g CO2 per mile, controlling their claim gives "346g per mile - more than the 312g per mile the EPA says the Toyota Highlander emits."

https://seekingalpha.com/article/1430161-in-summary-the-tesl...

My main argument stays -- there's no reason to believe Musk, and every for an independent careful control of his claims.
I think this is why Valve and Gabe were so forceful in developing Steam OS. This is the end fo the road for all outside businesses like Valve and other elevator systems.

Microsoft has been doing so good community wise and I think this is the most evil thing they could have done. They are trying to be a walled garden.

Useful new technologies don't always solve obvious problems. Sometimes a more fruitful way of thinking about them is to ask: what might this help enable? And especially considering this not just in terms of an isolated individual using it, but in terms of if it had broad uptake where lots of people were using it.

Think of things like the introduction of cars, or the internet. Their actual effect on most people weren't a matter of obvious problems they had at the time.
Sieht gut aus! I'll give it a try, thank you.
I'm reasonably sure that for all things where a proof would be helpful, that is properties that the programmer has a nontrivial chance of getting the implementation wrong and not catching the mistake with a test, a correctness proof is a lot harder than writing a correct implementation. I've dabbled a bit with Coq and Isabelle and certainly found this to be the case.

Stronger type systems help a lot with common security problems. Memory safety and a system to express taint of inputs eliminate a huge class of potential problems. They are still very, very far from correctness proofs that could catch actual logic bugs.
How to Prepare for an Automated Future
On the other side of the coin, states are generally much more favorable to OHV enthusiasts than the BLM is.
My one trick would be to practice a lot. For example, if you are learning math or programming, you won't learn very much by watching ted talks, youtube videos or reading blog posts. Instead you need to spend all your hours typing code and working on progressively more difficult problems. Like if you want to learn graphics programming, start by drawing pixels, then lines, then 3d rotating shit and shading stuff. Active learning is much more important than passive learning.
The rules can be as complex as the code you can write. It effectively sends a webhook on which you can respond "decline" to stop the tx from succeeding. (RootCode also packages this concept to make it quicker to prototype)

That is a good question. Lenovo's advisory (https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/product_security/ps500104) does not explicitly states which AMT status make it vulnerable, but given that Intel ME runs no matter what, I'd go for the disable guide.
100% automated ML doing this well seems far off to me.

Really parsing language for meaning is hard. Sentiment analysis, which seems simpler than this problem, still has relatively poor accuracy.

I could see it perhaps thinning out how much has to be done manually, but I don't see it removing that need entirely.

It's a design problem too. If it's not obvious that you can/should report something then you're never going to do it. Plus if there isn't enough feedback about your help then you won't feel like you've made a difference.
Personally, I would rather rely on self control and not have my card forcefully decline transactions. But maybe that's just me!
As someone who doesn't want to share my creds with Mint or rummage through GNU Cash to write my own solution, this looks like a great idea. I'd love to build a consolidated dashboard for my networth with APIs like this.
I was in the room when this person said it (and it was in the context of CLIF's Google-wide adoption), so I think it's reasonable that my interpretation that this was a positive statement is reasonable.

At least if you weren't in the room as well. I'm assuming you weren't?
yes, and yes ;) (but not immediately)
>Also, most US states make one pass a test to prove that one is capable of operating an automobile to some minimum standard of "not killing people".

I think that's generally only for operation on public roads. I'm pretty sure that you can go buy a car, have it transported to your private property via trailer, and then drive it around your property all you want without a license.

If you're interested reach out via jobs@rizemoney.com. We can't wait to talk to you!
I disagree.

Some things are demonstrable. When I started finding and reporting cyber security holes to various governments and governmental departments I was hired to help them. They fixed the holes or at the very least they started a public review of cyber security and got the process for better our regulations started.

Don't give in to cynicism.

Western governments have corruption and malaise, true, but government is made of people and most people want to make things better and fairer and our democracies aren't perfect but you can make a difference if you put your best foot forward. You just need to try.
Government could impose fines for not meeting certain security standards, and then do random audits, or in a more free market way this sort of alignment ought to eventually be able to come about via:

1. Class action lawsuits to sue companies who have data leaks.

2. Companies take out insurance for being sued for data leaks.

3. Insurance companies impose security requirements in order to provide coverage.
I wonder if Facebook made much money on the ads displayed alongside this type of content (or perhaps pre- or mid- roll ads). Do they have a responsibility to treat this income differently?
Motivation isn't the key factor: motivation comes and goes. It's a natural part of being human--we won't always want to do what needs doing.

> Do you even believe that people have right to defend themselves, or should they let the crime unfold and then let the law take its due course?

I don't think it is simple as that. To be sure, guns might provide positive outcomes in some situations. But does that benefit outweigh their downsides. Downsides like deaths caused by accidents with firearms. Downsides like mass shootings that would be difficult to accommolish without easy access to firearms.

As for the benefits, how often do firearms prevent homicide? It's a hard thing to measure. I'm skeptical they prevent much at all.

For one thing the type of "gang" style homicide you are imaging is not a very common variety. In 2011, the FBI only identified 11.7 percent of homicides as being carried out by a stranger to the victim. Just by the numbers, getting killed by your spouse or coworker is more likely. I imagine the protective benefit of firearms is far less in these situations.

Another point is that even carrying a firearm isn't protection against an unexpected attack.
