Those excerpts miraculously appeared only in 2013, when another wave of Russian nationalism sweeped over.

Consider me suspicious.

No. Other big countries made _actual_ inventions (US, UK, France, Germany).
Web Application Threat Trend Report Released from 2016 by Penta Security Systems
There are use cases that make sense. My home linux router intercepts and sends all DNS and NTP requests, then routes all DNS requests to multiple VPS nodes that in turn, use multiple DNS recursors at each VPS datacenter. I intentionally avoid google and opendns. I override the min-ttl of all requests to avoid some shenanigans and I am well aware of the issues this can cause.

At a minimum, my ISP can not see or tamper with DNS requests. My VPS nodes are multi-purpose so it isn't really extra cost.

This also gives me the capability to intercept some of my traffic and route it over my VPN using a combination of haproxy and squid. I can do this by source PC, or by destination, or protocol, or any combination thereof.

For me, this has worked great for years and gives me a lot more flexibility, options and control over my data flows. If I want more privacy, I can use my existing tc cbq QoS and rate limited rsync's of random noise to hide some traffic patterns.
Unfortunately, whether or not the petition is debated in Parliament, it won't actually change the law or government policy, because the government doesn't in the slightest bit care about the petitions.

This is actually the key. From their website "The Raspberry Pi is a tiny and affordable computer that you can use to learn programming through fun, practical projects."

It's about learning programming through fun, practical projects. CoderDojo is a foundation that shares the same goal. RaspberryPi is essentially one way or tool used to promote learning to code.

With this merger, Ebon can get a better understanding of the struggles people have and perhaps create other ways to help people learn to code.

I think in order to succeed, they need to take responsibility for more than just the petition. Measuring people's basic feelings about issues is just the first step in the process. They need to nurture the entire discussion, through debate with counter-arguments, policy formation, public debate of policy, balancing of priorities against other issues, and building a legislative caucus.

If they can move ideas through all of those stages, they can usher them into law. But just aggregating petitions is like asking 100,000 people what their dream house is and then claiming that you've done your part and now politicians need to solve the housing crisis.
Having done the traveling consultant thing for a while, I completely agree with this sentiment. There is no such thing as a reliable driving service. I've used cabs, black cars, and apps. None of them are anywhere near 100% but one of them is obviously a lot more convenient.

But you do need the file to be stored locally. I don't think this attack is very serious. Downloading and opening files is already a risky maneuver.
This is odd. The primary point of VPN services (aside from a layer of protection on untrusted networks) is to mix your traffic in with N other random users such that the chance of you being identified as the source of the traffic is 1/N instead of 1/1.

Hosting your own VPN exit node, with you as the sole user, defeats this use case entirely.
Well, there seems to be a misconception that there are hordes of people who are legitimately confused about the subject.

"If someone is as passionate about the carbon emitting issue as you, they can already do that with Nissan Leaf, BMW i3, or Chevy Volt. They don't need to wait nor pay more for the the Tesla Model 3"

1. I don't get it either. Then again--I don't think like a wealthy person. I am drooling for my first electric vechicle, but not willing to spend a lot of money. Plus, as a former mechanic, I want to be able to do all the repairs, including modifying/flashing new software. That might never happen, so I might need to build my own electric vechicle?

2. I do think they are the future though. Form a practical point, they have less things to go wrong. It will be so nice not to have to worry about a transmission that goes at 140k, and not having to worry about smog tests, and all the crap that fossil fuel cars bring.

3. We need to modernize the electrical grid. Since the vechicles are pulling electricity at night, it won't be an immediate problem, but we will eventually need more Power, and better state by state management of the grid.

4. I really think Tesla is making a mistake by not open sourcing certain parts of their software.(just the basic operating system, not the AI portion.) A few years ago, I wanted to buy a wrecked Tesla, and soon found it's practically impossible. Yes--guys wreck them, but you just can't repair them, and get a Salvage title.

I buy old vechicles and repair them. I can't do that with a Tesla. I know the founder of Tesla knows the old marketing adage, "If you win over a man, you have him for life."

If I had ten minutes with "forget his name--Musk", I would beg him to let the little guys get their hands on wrecked Teslas. Once you win over the Shade Tree mechanics, you might have a product for life. Right now, I just appreciate the Technolgy that's hidden in Teslas. Aesthetically, they look like every other vechicle in my community. Just boring.

4. I do see forsee a big vechicle manufacturer building an affordable, good looking electric vechicle, and blowing away Tesla. Something along the lines of the the old Ford Mustangs.

Hmmm, sounds like the data itself would be feasible then. SQLite could be considered just a data transport container for this purpose. :)
Sure, but then the point is not about the "many people are not aware they can recover their data without paying for a commercial application".

Rest assured, and specifically I have used (besides Testdisk) both Photorec and DMDE extensively, that no tool is "perfect" and each tool may have some particular function that works where another tool doesn't, so when the game is "data recovery" the first rule is "throw (at the device) anything you can", beginning with one's tool of choice obviously, but without setting aside any other one.
Option 1: Autopilot isn't where Tesla wants it, and they are trying hard to get it up to snuff, since so much has been made about how far ahead of everyone else Tesla is.

Option 2: In the opinion of a Tesla analyst who works for a bank that underwrote Tesla capital raises, it's a strategic move because the Autopilot is so awesome that it will eat away at Model S sales, though the mechanism by which that happens is unclear. And of course, Elon Musk is known for keeping things close to the chest.

I mean, it could be option 2, but I know where I'd put my money.

So... a three-character capture list is ugly, but that extra impl clause is... fine? Obviously we shouldn't be getting into a Rust vs. C++ flame war in a clang thread, but would you at least agree that (relative to python) both language have significantly more verbose syntax owing to the interaction between closures and the languages data models?

Edit to clarify (to the extent of my rust understanding anyway): C++ didn't want to implicitly suck in external variables by reference and makes the programmer explicitly flag them as references. Rust has a borrow checker, so it can skip this part and simplify the syntax. But Rust's type system has no good way to implicitly figure out the full type of a lambda by its signature, so if you want to pass one around you need to specify its whole type signature twice, once in the expression itself and then again in the signature of the function that will receive or return it.

You pays your money and you makes your choice. Neither language is really a good fit for anonymous functions in the sense that Lisp was.
It's like deadlock. It will just make apps waiting forever. If an app/driver/etc doesn't handle that well, then you can get a blue screen.

Our team has become more and more focused on supporting two platforms with our App Development effort, Apple and Samsung. 75% of our users have an iPhone 5S or newer. The remaining 25% is a mix of Android, other iOS devices and older iPhones. Of the Android users, 80% are using some Samsung device.
If I'm being completely honest I think this depends a bit on disposable income. The guy I knew who bought a Davidson way, way back, knew a guy who let him borrow one. He had a family and coughing up that much money took some thinking.

Comcast is a portmanteau of communication and broadcast. So:

So yes "communications broadcast Corp" would be mentioned in a site about communication broadcasting corporations BUT to assume that just because they are the most user-hostile, anti-competitive and vile of the ComC's doesn't give them some sort of claim over Communication Companies Astroturfing. It's just a portmanteau of the above 3 words; only 1 of which is found in that other company ;)

Something with a vibrant community built up around it is most impressive to me. It shows a degree of communication and management, not to mention marketing.

Otherwise, most github repos are not that impressive as I have no idea how long it took to write (did it take a few months to write something most devs could write in a few days?), or if the candidate even wrote it at all.
> plausible deniability that's gained from a shared VPN

Browser and device fingerprinting have become very powerful making VPNs not a very solid solution.
There are some petitions on change.org which I, as a citizen, would like to petition against (rather than for). A petition may have huge support but it also may have huge opposition... that opposition is not shown on change.org. Not showing the opposition to an issue paints a skewed image that I hope politicians can recognise.

For example, if the evangelicals made a petition to ban abortions in USA, it could potentially get a lot of support but yet there is no way for others to show their strong opposition against that as well.

> our current technology (neural networks, genetic algorithms, etc.) is fundamentally different from how the human brain works.

I don't see that. Software neural networks explicitly mimic the neural networks of the human brain. Not saying there aren't functional differences, but the basic structure is there.

> It does not have a capacity for abstract thought

But 'it' does have capacity for unsupervised cluster recognition, and can use the identified clusters to influence processing results. More is likely required, but this seems to be the basic mechanism required for "abstraction."

> that will not come just by investing more in our current technology

I think you are saying that some fundamentals are still missing. I don't disagree, but we seem to have some important building blocks in hand. However, it may be the case that all the fundamentals are now in hand, and it is exactly a process of evolutionary change to yield true AI.

> general intelligence, it will look very different from what we have now

I think this is just the traditional dismissal of "whatever has actually been achieved, that is not AI." At some point this becomes an "AI of the gaps" argument, where the gaps are ever shrinking.

It would be more helpful to ditch the 'myth' that age-segregated classrooms are an improvement over the one-room school house.

It used to be that education was something people did for themselves. Parents or a teacher would help children learn what they wanted to learn, when they were ready to learn it. Modern schooling forces children to learn on the teacher's schedule.

John Taylor Gatto wrote extensively of the corrupt nature of institutionalized schooling 15-20 years ago. I guess it's not polite to point out that the system is rigged against children, so Mr. Gatto's insights into more effective teaching have been successfully ignored in recent years.

C++ actually has the same problem; you can't specify the return value of an unboxed lambda. The differences there are that C++ lets you deduce function return types since C++14, something Rust doesn't want to support, and that boxing is done through a special std::function type, rather than a normal heap pointer.
Ask HN: Develop skills, or “dive in” and start a startup?
There seems to be evidence (https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/179616/a-good-programmer-can-be-as-10x-times-more-productive-than-a-mediocre-one) that programmer productivity varies by at least an order of magnitude. My subjective sense is that I can become a lot more productive than I currently am.

Conventional wisdom says that it's important to build and iterate quickly. Technical skills (amongst other things) are necessary if you want to build and iterate quickly. So then, it seems worthwhile to develop your technical skills before pursuing a startup. To what extent is this true?

Furthermore, domain expertise seems to be important:

- http://www.paulgraham.com/startupideas.html

> The second counterintuitive point is that it's not that important to know a lot about startups. The way to succeed in a startup is not to be an expert on startups, but to be an expert on your users and the problem you're solving for them.

> So one guaranteed way to turn your mind into the type that has good startup ideas is to get yourself to the leading edge of some technology—to cause yourself, as Paul Buchheit put it, to "live in the future."

- http://www.paulgraham.com/before.html

So then, if your goal is to start a successful startup, how much time should you spend developing some sort of domain expertise before diving in?
I agree overall, but PIA has may not be the best example, as they have been shown to not keep any data that could be subpoenaed[1]. One nice thing about running your own (if your client machine is on Linux) is being able to use Wireguard[2], which is quite a bit faster than OpenVPN, for example.

It's interesting to note that Jacque, while definitely a little out there on execution, has been warning us about the effects of automation for 50 years. His proposed solution of a planned economy will not work, but his vision of what the future will look like when we have robotics and automation as the main future forces of economy are spot on.

He also envisioned centralized (and distributed) computing and governmental computing systems, something that will have widespread implementation within the next half century.

Tesla is facing a potential big problem. New buyers are holding off and are waiting to see the final specs and price of the Model 3. This could harm a lot Tesla sales until Elon Musk reveals to the public the Model 3.

I also believe Tesla did a mistake by naming the Model with a number. In the mind of many people, 3 is what comes after 1 and 2 (S & X). People are used to this because of the iPhone naming convention.

Tesla is reaffirming that the Model 3, despite its name, is not a version 3. It will be the entry level of the brand and if people want to buy the best performing car that Tesla can produce, they should buy a S or a X now.
