Sounds like a great idea for a startup!

Imagine a group of young people, trying to raise capital to start a data haven in a remote Sultanate or Principality. Who knew that could be an important competitive advantage?

You could call the startup "Epiphyte Corporation" :-D
> Or take the other case, I am high on drugs and crash a car with several of my kids in it. At the same time I clearly didn't mean to harm them - you wouldn't have problem with me having the kids if I wasn't on drugs. Assume further (because this is often the case) that I skip out of rehab. What would you do with me?

Everything has to be done in the children's best interest. In this situation hypothetical_tomjen3 has put their children in danger.

This means any approach covers several points:

1) Firm reminder that continued use of drugs while you're supposed to be in control of the children means the state is left with little option but to remove the children from you

2) Removal of the children can be avoided if you comply with rehab

3) Provide good quality, evidence based rehab

4) Provide access to the children (with supervision if needed)

5) Remove driving licence for a year as a punishment. The driving licence can only be regained after successfully completing rehab with clean tests for some time.

This particular example you've given is a public health problem, not a criminal justice problem.

It's only a matter of time before people get priced out of the web. It will either need to be re-hauled and classified as basic utility - or a new alternative will have to be introduced.

> There is a difference between slavery as an institution of unjust forced submission and "slavery" as just punishment for crimes committed.

The difference is solely the standing law. During the nazi regimen (godwin's law, but really) many of the appalling things they did were legal. It was legal to execute, and it was legal to do forced labor.

Slavery was always legal, that was the problem all along! A slave could not physically escape without the fear of unpunished retribution.

I believe you're missing the GP's point, which is the unwelcome connotations of power relations that attach in the words 'management' and 'customer' (from CRM). Generally a manager exerts authority over those managed, although it's true that managers in the showbiz world are the employees of performers rather than the other way around.

For at least 10 years it's been known that alzheimer's victims show deposits of aluminum in their brains. There was no conclusive cause-effect shown though. But I've been avoiding aluminum for ten years now - to be on the safe side. It's also easy enough to avoid aluminum.
I remember a HN thread years ago on these yellow dots watermarks, where an employee at a printer manufacturer said there was no indication this was ever used by law enforcement to track who printed what because, for one, the team who implemented the watermarking never documented or taught anyone how to decode these watermarks.

Well, here we are today with this NSA story.

I think it's possible that US-based printer manufacturers implemented watermarking on special request from the NSA. That would also explain why the printer manufacturer employees never needed to teach anyone how to decode them. It wasn't their specs in the first place.

Interesting - never realized there would be multiple CAN buses in a car. That probably makes it a lot easier to not screw things up - if you know that the medium speed bus is only connected to non-safety-critical systems, then it's easier to trust that when you send out your hand-crafted CAN packets, you're not going to cause anything too drastic to happen.

"It's a fallacy that being in San Fran or NYC actually matters."

If you want money, which let's be honest, is one of the most important things in this context, it highly does. All of the major VCs are in SF or NYC, and have shown very little desire to branch out from there. While we occasionally hear stories of a startup outside of those places doing well, it's generally the exception, not the rule.

It's not that I hate Zuckerberg that I find it hard to use Facebook, but that I trust them less than the other super-presences outs there (justified or not), and I dislike how it changes my perceptions of some of my friends. The constant posting of inane shit starts to look less like keeping in touch and more like an addiction to my eyes. I still like those people, and enjoy their company, but being constantly exposed to their posts feels like being in their living room as they crack open that 8 AM beer after waking up. It gets uncomfortable, but it's also not something I'm sure it's my place to butt into, since to this point it appears mostly harmless.

It is the best tool to keep in contact we currently have though, so I do pop in every week or two to check on notifications. The times I go longer I end up missing events friends have put together and not notified in other ways about, so I try to remember to check in fairly regularly.

I only hope they don't swing their attention towards those of us that shun the feed any time soon, and try to find a way to tweak our reward response for that as well (or at least in a more effective way. I'm sure they've put at least some attention to it).

Man can we be a little nicer here. He said "no gain time for time spent in jail"
I am not familiar with the term "gain time" but as he uses it above seems to me additional time taken off of your sentence for playing nice. Working dancing to entertain the warden etc.

I took that to mean that while you are in jail you burn down one to one days which is not as fast as the bonus or "gain time" you would get in actual prison.

He may or may not be correct and my guess is it depends on where you at since state and local laws will be applied but...
As for knowing what he is talking about my guess is many prisoners are experts in the system of trying to reduce their stays in prison.

This is just not true at all. In most of the world, looking after one's parents is not seen as a chore or a hardship, but basic empathy for one's parents.

When you grow old, would you rather live in a multigenerational household - vs being alone or in some kind of facility?

I disagree, if the Intercept values leaking things the public deserves to know (their whole raison d'être), they need to do better.

Bear in mind, The Intercept is likely more aware of anti-leaker strategies than most of the people they are hoping will leak them data. If they're going to encourage the act, they should do everything possible to help their sources protect themselves, and do diligence on anonymizing everything they get even further.
While I'm not certain that society doesn't have the authority to force people to work (though, if it is ambiguous/uncertain, I would advise "don't", and I am not confident it does, so I advise "don't"), but I do agree that it doesn't really seem to follow, at least not without assuming some other premises.

> The methods presented in this paper have many applications in law enforcement such as tracking, counterfeiting, and child pornography. The downside is that they provide a mechanism for a simple device, a printer or a digital camera, to spy on its user. A typical user cannot turn off these signatures, particularly the intrinsic signature, without very detailed knowledge of how the device operates. This could have dire consequences for many important uses of these devices in our society. For example a whistleblower who would like to share documents with a regulatory agency could be in danger in that their printer could be identified as the one that produced the documents. [1]

Prophetic words from a 2008 paper (PDF) [1].

This paper may be duplicate information, but reading this paper impressed upon me how many more ways there may be to spy on people than I could imagine (and I know about some existing things like side-channel attacks... how do I spy on thee? Let me count the ways.)

So don't register your printer with the manufacturer, folks; the serial number may be on every page it prints. Ditto for digital cameras.

Then again, is fighting for digital privacy a losing battle when at every turn, there are deliberately hidden bits of PII? Pun intended.

Main question - how do you profit from being a super-connector? Or do you never directly profit from it?
It would be interesting to have a language with first-class(ish) support for "tagged" aliases, where an IDE could then expand to short/long versions as configured. To some extent you could already do it in a lot of languages which support annotations/decorations, but it might be nice to have it more built into the language for "standardization" if nothing else.
I honestly find it a bit crazy that we have webasm before viable multitasking in JavaScript. webworkers being multi-process not multi-threading, and also extremely slow, limited, and needlessly RAM intensive. Multi-process could have worked if they would have at least had fast messaging (~1ms communication overhead is absurd), some form of shared data (at least let me share immutable ArrayBuffers! it's immutable! that's safe!), and some form of move operation instead of copy to allow for cheap handoffs of data structures. That'd still all be safe, no risk of memory corruption, etc...

But no, let's port assembly to the browser instead! Then you get that extra bit out of that one already-overloaded core instead of tapping in to the potentially 15+ other cores on the device!

I'd put forth that that's a far bigger issue to web app performance than HTML/CSS/DOM is. It is for the very heavy web app I've worked on, anyway.

WebAsm's most intriguing aspect as a result is that it has plans to actually add threading along with things like SharedArrayBuffer. That would make locally-intensive & offline webapps vastly more viable.

In this case, my guess would be fear that people would start distrusting these voting machines and, eventually, the election as a whole. Elections only work when everyone agrees the results are fair.

That said, I think that's an important story here. The infrastructure around these machines seems sloppy. The fact that there's no source code to read means they are black boxes we have to trust.
> Do you know if trucks running at 44 (such as in the UK) use special trailers like those Cozad trailers?

They'd probably not look like that, but they would be different from the standard 53 foot, 8-tire, 2-axle trailer. Maybe the same box dimensions and height, but with 3 axles. Possibly double chained 20ft trailers with 2 axles each. Once you go over container shipping weight thresholds (which might be 44T like you say), you stop seeing box trucks.

The cosad trailers are amazing for their weight capacity, but typically used for heavy machinery and are designed with low floors which heavily constrains how they distribute the weight (and thus the tiered chains of 9-tire per axle bogies). There are other designs out there, but that trailer was just what I searched for because they're from my hometown and I used to be a truck driver.
That article contains the following "evidence" claiming this is how the leaker was unmasked:

> Armed with this evidence, the NSA was able to quickly determine who had printed the document by checking audit logs.

So no I see exactly _zero_ evidence in that article that this was the method used. If you have any other article that has such evidence, I'm all ears.

Of course you're correct that The Intercept should have taken more care in this matter, but that doesn't mean that this was the reason why the leaker was found. The leaker should also have been a bit less amateur (e.g. not communicating with The Intercept on a _work_ computer).
They might have their cause and effect backwards there.

"... which requires at least three syscalls..."

As does every program that reads from a config file.

One does not have to use files to set the variables of course. This just works well for long-running-programs, e.g. daemons.

"... unless you're putting files in a tmpfs)"

Always files are in mfs.

As for strongly typed data and passing data instead of text, I prefer k to Powershell. There is also a uniformity to APL built-in functions. The number of arguments is limited. PS is quite slow on startup and too verbose.

As for "free-form" sometimes rearranging arguments (as glibc is capable of) can cause more complexity than is warranted.

Consider a program like signify. Then consider gpg.

The best command line program "interfaces" IMO are the ones the fewest options and least possible variability in arguments. Best interface is no interface, etc.

One of the obvious benefits for UNIX programs of this nature is portability.

There is/was a whitening toothpaste called Rembrandt. In a competitor's ad they made the claim, "Even Rembrandt can't beat it!". They wanted you to hear that it was better than Rembrandt, but they were actually saying it was equivalent.
(author here), It wasn't available when I started this project. butteraugli was (which guetzli uses internally), but in my opinion they're relatively new and need a bit more rigorous review than I can provide. I ultimately chose SSIM not because it was the most accurate metric in all cases, there have been plenty of advancements since it was published. But I linked a paper comparing several alternatives and saw that SSIM works fine for this use case (all things equal except number of JPEG artifacts), while being much faster, and that was enough proof for me to keep it simple.

In a batch scenario today, one of these could make sense instead of SSIM and/or mozjpeg, but definitely do your own comparisons at equivalent file sizes, required reading: https://kornel.ski/en/faircomparison

We do set a pretty high lower bound to avoid the edge cases inherent in the algorithm and as a result, out of the 30% savings, dynamic quality was only a small portion of that. I wouldn't be surprised that with an offline workload, a more CPU-intensive algorithm can do much better with a lower lower bound.

I found that SSIM scores for images were relatively stable across resolution (same general graph shape, just translated down on the Y-axis). This is mentioned at line 36 of the example dynamic quality code. So we actually generate, compute and compare the SSIMs on much lower resolution candidate images than the final image for speed as well. I'm not sure if this would hold true for something like butteraugli to help open up the possibility for more real-time workloads.

I don't think so. California's non-compete attitude is part of what helped Shockley Semiconductor get started, and that same attitude is what allowed the "traitorous eight" to leave there and start Fairchild Semiconductor. And it's also what helped Andy Grove et. al. leave Fairchild and start Intel.

Had these companies been located elsewhere, it's entirely possible their former employers would have gone after them, preventing those companies from going on to have the influence they did.

The problem with your comments in this thread (along with several other users' comments) is that they take the discussion in a generic direction, which makes it less interesting. The topic is about women because the question was about women, and there's a lot to discuss about that. The best parts of this thread have clearly been the answers from women about their concrete experience. Perhaps the most interesting thing is the wide range of experiences and perspectives they show.

Subtly changing the subject by negating that bit—the one bit that makes the topic specific—worsens the thread, first by genericizing it, which always lowers discussion quality, and then by provoking other users who care about the original topic, resulting in yet another flamewar that we can all do well to avoid. Think about it this way: you basically changed the subject to yourself when the question wasn't about you (and you were far from the only user who did this).
