I'm sorry, but my rights are not up for your disagreement or discussion.

Wait sanctuary cities ? What does that have to do with anything? Conspiracy theories? The alt right...?

What?

This isn't even an argument, it's a bunch of links and assertions which have no theme other than "look bad", the same way a caveman would point at a furnace and a campfire and say "look fire".

There's a specific narrow import and meaning to my sentence, and it is the specific and narrow context of how they have seen and value privacy because of the historical context they came out of.

It's not a statement that they are magically perfect in all context.

By symmetry if you expand the remit to include every ounce of stupidity committed by people in the west, we in India will crush them outright.

Just a few days ago the govt effectively outlawed cattle slaughter, including buffaloes as part of the prevention of cruelty to animals, but they left out pigs, goats, and chickens. Not to mention fish.

And this is the a very pro development government. Forget the shenanigans of the people.

If you open the field to bringing up superstition and bad governance in the west, the saying "people in glass houses should not throw stones" comes to mind.
Would anyone here have resources on writing similar highly-responsive GUI frameworks?

I agree with you, I also try to avoid flying. But somehow more people are flying now than ever, and it's because of price and convenience.
Blockchains are forgotten just as easily as any other data if the last backup is lost.

Proof-of-work, however, makes it expensive to modify history. But it doesn't change the fact that, in order to prevent data loss, the only solution is backups at multiple, independent locations.

> What's wrong with just making those tests the actual regulatory ones?

Nothing. But Germany has a strong position in the EU and to a large degree does what VW/BMW/Mercedes want and they wanted to avoid stronger or better tests. This topic is quite often in the news here and it's clear that there is no political will to establish real word tests.

There are also a lot of other cheats in this firmware:

I had a rather long argument with someone who can't stand vim and his points were mostly salient. Vim comes with a lot of baggage (or features, depending on how you look at it) from having been designed before Windows and the assorted userland became the dominant platform. Because of that, its shortcuts aren't CUA-compliant [1]. And that is just scratching the surface. Vim and Emacs are written by people who expect them to behave like Vim and Emacs, not like Sublime or any other "standard" application with a "standard" interface and shortcuts. You can definitely fight their design and rebind your keys to work as you expect, but through it all you're fighting decades of entrenched design. Those editors aren't maintained by people who think like you, so you'll always be a second citizen. Micro isn't for people who like Vim, micro is for people who want their editor to work in the expected mainstream fashion.

I think GNU nano should probably also have a commandline switch to behave like a normal CUA-compliant editor and distros should have that enabled by default. It isn't compatible with anything but pico and someone who grew up with today's machines would have never seen pico.

Those policies will just have to change.

If this interested you, you might want to check out SafeCurves[1]. I didn't see it mentioned in these slides (likely because it approaches the material at a higher/theoretical level), but ECDLP is not the only determining factor in elliptic curve safety; there are also implementation difficulties that can make ECC unsafe even though attackers cannot solve the ECDLP.

DJ Bernstein maintains the SafeCurves website and explains the foregoing in greater detail; the site also tracks security assessments on specific curves. Some are actively used and others are either not well-studied or are just toy examples.

I just watched the 1974 movie "The Parallax View". There's a scene aboard a 707, and I was amused how flying is just the same as today. Except that the aisles were wide enough that someone could squeeze by the drink cart.
> Python uses many dictionaries in the background: among other things, local variables

Just a minor correction, Python doesn't use dicts for local variables, `locals()` is a lie, it creates a dict from scratch. Internally each frame has an array of locals whose values correspond to the names in the code object's co_locals.

Sounds like you're conflating the value of the coins with the corporate value being invested. Corporations are dedicating a desk or a lab or a few staff to Crypto. There may be a decrease in the value of coins but there's no bubble to pop on the organisational side.
Hopefully the fact that deception is now obvious will cause people to re-evaluate the way they use their trust networks. I hope in the future that people use trust graphs as a way to estimate the reliability of a claim they see from an unknown party.
Ask HN: Could Copyright/Trademark Law Limit the Effects of Automation?
Okay, this is probably a really crazy thought. So if I come across as a tad insane, I apologise for that.

But I've been thinking about automation, AI and what jobs might be safe from it. And do you know what?

I think IP laws may be a way to safeguard artists from robot competition. Think about it. If you're the creator of a webcomic that's got a few hundred thousand regular readers, they likely don't care if your comic is objectively the 'best' comic possible.

They care about the brand and universe it creates. So AI can never replace you there. You don't give it the rights to use your work, so assuming your brand doesn't lose all its popularity, you're never out of a job.

And in theory, the same could go for a lot of other creative jobs too. If a large IP's owner doesn't want to use AI to create it (and keeps on the artists, writers, voice actors, etc) then they're probably not going to lose their jobs to automation. Even if a robot can create the best art ever, it cannot use say, the Star Wars or Harry Potter or James Bond license to do so.

So it'll likely just get flattened at the box office/on distribution platforms. Same goes in the gaming world, where something like Mario or Halo or Pokemon or Call of Duty is probably going to beat the crap out of the less well known AI created brand regardless of how good it is.

So what do you think?

SWA hasn't offered lower fares from SFO, SJC, or OAK in many years now, as far as I've noticed. And good luck finding a direct flight that's both from and to your preferred airports. YairMMV...
Society needs to be more inclusive. People aren't problems that need to be treated. They need to feel a part of a large, functioning whole.
-One problem with that approach is that it would make testing for compliance much, much more expensive.

One thing would be all the equipment and manpower every test facility would need to invest in (as DonHopkins points out below) - but also, in order to gain initial approval, you couldn't just rely on one or even a few random drives - in order for the numbers to make any sense, you'd need a large sample size - lots of different drivers, driving the cars under different conditions - until you had enough data points to come up with a meaningful figure.
True. But I was young, stupid and had just completed a course on assembler on that processor. Money well spent.
I've enjoyed LWN articles in the past, but found this particular writeup very tedious to follow, compared to watching the video.

There has always been misleading information, but that's not a good thing. Growing up, I think the promise of the internet was that with a more decentralized source of information we'd be better equipped to see and understand what's really going on in the world. What the spread of this kind of fake news shows is that it was never really the fault of the TV news and big corporations that there was misleading information. We want to be lied to.
Ask HN: How do TCP/IP packets work?
Just imagine how Facebook must have (initially) pushed the datr cookie on its engineers: "We only need to track everyone like this to check against DDoS attacks."

Still, even such an excuse should have raised alarm bells, but I assume most developers would just shrug their shoulders and develop the feature anyway, as they would've liked to keep their nice-paying job and juicy stock options.

In reality, Facebook only recently used the DDoS protection excuse for its datr cookie, well after it announced that the cookie would be used for advertising purposes, which also happened a few years after the cookie was introduced.

I imagine whatever Facebook told developers then was even less subtle than "using it for security purposes", and that most of the developers figured it out right then that the datr cookie would be one day used to track users across the web for advertising purposes.
Well part of it is that there's an oligopoly in the airline industry that prevents competition.

First, it's a hard market to get into for new carriers (regulation, high capital costs for planes, etc.). Airports also only have a certain number of gates, and until expansion of the airport, it can be hard to accommodate new flights. This is how we get to the 'hub and spoke' model of airline carriers, where it can be cheaper to fly through their hub city on a longer flight with 2 planes, than to fly direct.

And if you're not competing with another airline, you're competing with yourself. This means lowering costs and trying to increase your margin, knowing it's a race to the bottom and people will have to fly anyway, no matter how bad it is.

Basically, you may or may not be on a route that has competition between two cities. Or another way to put it, if Southwest does great (and I do love Southwest), why aren't they in every airport and on every route stealing market share by doing it better?
Wow, this is great! Maybe i'll shelf my efforts a bit , if your online photo editor is this good... I did Google around and find some of these GraphCut-esque refinement techniques, but have yet to find an easily usable one that gave you a good crop with just an outline or tap (or both) - kudos for making one!

As to the lack of precision of ObjectCropBot, I think a lot of that is due to it running based on DeepMask and not SharpMask; Facebook's insight to run the final low-res features back through increasingly less downsized images with sort of skip connections is a good one, and I'd bet the resolution of the results would be a lot better if I just hacked it to use that instead of DeepMask (I think the thing I linked just uses that, pretty much).
People review my papers for me and don't ask for any extra money for it. So I review their papers for them and don't ask for any extra money for it.

Neither me nor my employer have never had to pay to publish any of my papers, but my employer does pay a few dollars a year for access to a papers repository run by a non-profit who just help the community come together - web hosting isn't free. I imagine it's one of the cheaper of the web services we pay for and a trivial cost of running a business.

I really don't see any problem.
Sure, but the price differential is crazy. I will frequently pay extra for an exit row, at $50-$75. But an upgrade to business class is often three times the price of economy. And it's just not worth that much.

This is how Southwest Airlines differentiates itself from other airlines. Since Southwest exists already, other airlines can't differentiate themselves anymore in the market by doing this.
I've admittedly not done extensive research, this is mostly from memory, so if someone else remembers differently please correct me.

BUT - the reason Southwest was the "low fare" leader was because they locked in fuel prices back before we had the massive spike in prices in the early 2000s. That gave them a tremendous advantage over the other airlines given fuel is such a massive part of their overall costs. That combined with standardizing on a single plane (less impactful but still helpful) allowed them to both claim and honor the "low-cost leader" title.

Now that fuel prices have returned to a more "normal" state, their prices had to revert to the mean. They may be cheaper on some legs, but it's not universal anymore.
First users also have the risk of their investment becoming worthless.
I don't think there's any accessible to the software. They are used for airbags, but I think that's not on the CAN bus. If one were, it might be too dead a giveaway to poll it, since you already have speed via rotational sensors.
I'm quite sure this isn't correct. You can always take extra courses and go to university. However,
there is no point in everyone doing that.

How low will the software development world stoop to?
I recently read an Interview with the CEO of one of Germany's biggest travelling agencies, TUI[1]. In it, he described selling the "hotelbeds" database service for 1.19bn€ because in the future information about hotelbed vacancies would be stored in a public blockchain, not in centralised closed data silos. He described this as a democratization of data, a counter model compared to how Facebook and Google currently hoard data without giving anyone else access to it.

To me it didn't make sense, because who would participate in such a blockchain? Who is the miner? Why? Where is the trustless concensus feature needed? Maybe someone more knowledgeable can explain what he meant.

So this is going to happen once they've built the car + engine, and started selling it? Is 'car tester' going to become a side-hustle?

I agree that a degree of randomness is likely a good idea to avoid defeat devices, but one also has to consider that it could have two unintended consequences: 1) more expensive cars, due to more stringent QA procedures 2) relaxing of standards to ensure that companies can still practically make cars that conform to 'standards.'

As ever, it's important to consider that a layman's "seems reasonable to me" is another experts "that's not how things work."
Only a click - if you can pay it. You make it sound as if everyone can pay the prices that companies want for a first class flight.
Is "with" a keyword, or is it just convention - I haven't been able to find it documented anywhere. It seems like it's just doing a function with receiver under the hood.
The decentralisation process and these affects has been going on forever.

First we had the really old days, where few books were printed at all and at great cost. Less misleading information in print, but not very democratic.

Then the printing press and more people could express themselves. So misleading books and documents became more common.

Later the media grew, and with it the amount of sources went up even further. Niche publications that spread 'unpopular' opinions appeared and misleading info spread further.

And with every medium since, the effects grew. Radio, TV, the internet in general, social media sites. Really, it's just an inevitable consequence of less gatekeepers and more people being able to publish their thoughts.
It was hard to get past the grammar and other minor problems listed below.

* Ugly typesetting (words hanging out into the margin). Typesetting widows and orphans are not handled well. Odd capitalization is used, for example 'BlockChain'.

* A brazen claim that "Paper contracts could be replaced by Ethereum contracts." I'm an Ethereum proponent, yet I'm much more cautious about the application of smart contracts to legal contracts.
This is how modern companies break the rules. Management doesn't break the rules, either overtly or covertly. Management scrupulously follows the rules, while placing requirements on their workers that can only be met by breaking the rules.

Want your workers to work more, but you don't want to pay overtime, or you run into trouble with regulations about consecutive hours on the job? Just bump up how much work they have to get done, threaten to fire low performers, and make it clear that under no circumstances is anyone allowed to work overtime. Your workers will start working off the clock, and better yet they'll hide it from you, so you can legitimately plead ignorance if the law comes after you.

Want to cut corners on safety to save money? Tell your people that safety is the top priority but you need to see an X% reduction in costs, and it works itself out. They may fudge or falsify metrics, but if you're really lucky they'll find loopholes in the metrics instead.

(I have a friend who worked at a warehouse and fell victim to this. They were officially big on safety, which included bonuses for everyone if they went a certain period of time without any safety incidents. Unofficially, this meant that incidents wouldn't be reported unless it was unavoidable. The one way to ensure that an incident had to be reported was to see a doctor for your injury, so people were heavily encouraged to wait to see if they got better on their own before they got medical attention, which often made things much worse. I'm sure upper management's metrics looked great, though.)

As an added bonus, this sort of thing gives you a lot more control over workers. If you want to get rid of a troublemaker, do a little digging and you'll surely discover that they're violating safety rules or working off the clock or whatever. Everybody is, but selective enforcement is a wonderful thing.
I try to think of crypto-currencies, and their collectors as a class not unlike POG collectibles and POG collectors. The age bracket associated with each probably experiences significant overlap too, so the idea seems fitting.

Taken to extremes, if any given POG collector suddenly went bankrupt, due to a crash in values in the POG collector's price guide, how many people are associated with a particular POG collector? Would they notice, when that POG collector's business failed, because of an inability to meet obligations, now that all POG collections are worthless?

If banks and businesses accept The POG as legal tender, how many transactions disappear with the POG craze, leaving them unpaid, or stuck holding worthless assets?

"J. R. McNeill, an environmental historian, opined that Midgley "had more impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley_Jr.
For example: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exportweltmeister

https://unstats.un.org/unsd/trade/imts/Historical%20data%201...

Percentage of world exports in 1960:

United States 16%

West Germany 9%

UK 7.8%

France 5.4%

https://www.wto.org/english/res_e/booksp_e/wtr13-2b_e.pdf

Percentage of world merchandize exports in 1980:

USA 11%

West Germany 9.5%

Japan 6.4%

China 0.9%

Thus the claim that Germany is a leading exporter because of Euro currency manipulation fails to explain why Germany was one of the leading exporters in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s and 2010s. In all those years it was in the top three.
I suppose you could do that and then wait for the C&D notice?

I can't imagine you'd get sued for putting online a copy of this if you comply with C&D notices, then again I'm very narrow-minded.

Regarding Name Authorities, this article should clarify it somewhat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authority_control

It's basically an authentication provider maintained by the Library of Congress, which serves to define cannonical identifiers for library-catalogued entities, like books and public figures.

The Library of Congress uses the MARC standard (developed internally) and that is the format of the Name Authorities files: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MARC_standards
That's my whole point. People say they want these things, but the reality is that they don't want to pay what these things cost.

Of course I want bigger seats and great food while still paying the rock-bottom prices we currently have for cattle-class tickets. But that's not realistic.

If you say you want X, but always choose Y because it's cheaper, then you have no room to complain about how bad Y is.
Does it cost only 25% more though?

I don't fly US domestic routes but for a transoceanic flight it'll typically cost you twice the price of standard economy (and in turn business is about 2x eco+, and first 2x business).
