For those who are unfamiliar with the Attorney General George Brandis, this is one of the people instrumental in implementing two year mandatory data retention.

This is a famous interview he gave which is shows how little he understands about the concept of metadata, and is mandatory viewing for all who are not familiar with him:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw1ryLGs2ws

His utter inability to understand the issues that he is legislating is distrubing.

"What people are viewing on the internet is not going to get caught ... What people are viewing on the internet while they surf is not going to get caught. What will get caught is the web address".

The legislation ended up retaining the IP address that you visit, but not the host or URL. I suspect this is the distinction he was trying to make, but nevertheless, it is still disturbing.
There is a rule of thumb for judging morality in wars:
If you are fighting in your country and the other side it's not, then, normally, you have the moral high ground.

As all rules of thumb, it not always work but it normally does.

A consequence of this rule is asymmetry, because you only go to another country if you have the upper hand and something to win;
And a consequence of force asymmetry is more suffering for one side than the other.

So, yes, suffering is, even if not a direct one, a good proxy for moral stance.

I wonder if Facebook/WhatsApp have already been testing this type of access under this current "feature" that's supposed to make it more "convenient" for users who switch phones:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jan/13/whatsapp-...

Most in the crypto community seem to have sided with WhatsApp at the time, but I wonder if they were taken for fools, too, by buying WhatsApp's argument.

If I were to implement a backdoor, then implementing it as a "feature" that "makes sense" is definitely the way I'd go, especially if my app were to get a lot of attention. That way I won't have to hide it (much) or worry about it getting discovered because I could just "explain away" the critiques.
Show HN: A new kind of search engine
Speaking of distorting reality, you say:

- 'journalist' while article says 'an enlisted man in the U.S. Army’s 173rd Airborne Brigade'

- 'just for the kicks' was sense I got from this paragraph of the article: 'Hensinger, sensing an opportunity, stuffed his Nikon camera, ...' and 'He timed his appearance for guard duty to make sure that he would be assigned to the watch tower with the widest view of the mountain and base.'

- Suffering is to some extent measure of morality. For example, recent US military operations heavily used drones. It is one thing to fly drone using XBox gamepad and kill for <insert noble cause here>, and another to shoot soldiers who invaded your country using some primitive gun. First is more similar to video game than to war. Second is more moral, and includes more suffering, no matter what mental acrobatics you use against it.
Computer science is a very rewarding field if you enjoy it.

We made a search engine (https://learn-anything.xyz/) that I think may be useful for choosing the path with which you can go to further study.
So the article basically says:

Since existence of rich Nigerians is a ridiculous idea, the only people who would fall for it are the most gullible and hence the scammers get free selection of the most vulnerable victims.

Several problems with that idea:

- For people to fall for rich Nigerian prince or merchant, they don't need to believe that there are many rich Nigerians in general. They just have to believe that ONE rich Nigerian exists... which is not very far fetched.

- Let's say that the scammers said they were from a rich family in Luxembourg even though they were from Nigeria. And lets say many people fell for it because there are many rich people in Luxembourg. So, how many of those who fell for it would then again fall for another story to justify why they have to wire money to a Nigerian bank account?

- How is it more work to reply to 5 victims vs 5000 when scammers could basically copy the same email to everyone who responds and narrow it down to personalize it only after they have received multiple replies?

The reason they say they are from Nigeria because they actually are.
I think it largely depends on context.

Then, clothing is a form of expression. It expresses an intention on how you want to be perceived (at a superficial level at least).

Regardless of style:

- Pick clothes that fit your size well.

- Some clothes may require some extensive ironing, especially shirts. If ironing is not for you, our you want to minimize your time ironing, have this in mind.

- Some clothes may not be able to be washed using home appliances and may require dry cleaning, etc.

- Colors and patterns matter can affect your perceived weight.
It's a bit of a mix. There is video and audio for some classes. The other material ranges in how detailed it is.

When OCW was originally introduced, it wasn't really intended as a "MOOC," as the term is used today. It was more intended as source material for other teachers to put together classes following the curriculum developed by MIT than as something that students would use directly.

This original purpose didn't really pan out and the material for some classes has morphed accordingly but it means that you have a fair bit of variety in the posted materials.

ADDED: If you want turnkey classes, MIT also has a fair bit of material on edX which it co-founded.

Two main reasons:

* Genetic drift vs fixation. As bacteria reproduce and die, the relative frequency of genes tends to remain fixed in the absence of selection. In layman's terms: if 0.0000001% of bacteria in a population have antibiotic resistance, they will likely all die before passing it on. If 10% have resistance, there's a much better chance of it sticking around. The more antibiotics prescribed, the more you enrich the population for resistance, the greater chance it sticks.

* Many antibiotic resistance genes put bacteria at a disadvantage relative to the same bacteria without resistance. If antibiotics are not present, then resistance will eventually be selected against and disappear. Overprescription of antibiotics ensures that this doesn't happen.

Google AMP:

1. Obscures the web page's URL.

2. Makes manual zoom in/out impossible.

3. Sometimes hides content mentioned in the article, with no ability to scroll horizontally to see it.

4. Confuses Chrome on Amdroid into over-hiding its top address/menu bar (forcing two swipes down all the way to the top to show) or forces it to show (won't hide on scroll down).

This is just coming from a user's perspective, fortunately it doesn't impact my work, but may in future websites I build due to it being almost 100% of the news articles I read.
Storing Cryptographic Keys in Persistent Browser Storage

Another downside is that you will mostly buy the most expensive clothes in the shop.

Yet another one is that you will often buy clothes very specific to that year's collection and will look outdated soon.

Mannequins rarely are with the cheaper and/or classic clothes.
Yes, LXC is similar to OpenVZ and other containerization platforms that are oriented toward "thin" VMs; things that function just like VMs, but don't require the same resource commitment.

I think this is what many people think that Docker is, and what most people actually want, v. the application-centric approach offered by Docker.

I can't think of another search engine alternative - a truly objective one. It used to be Google. Then they gained a tremendous amount of market share. Even an English language verb - googled. Now it's them. And I ask, now what?
Proxmox and Virtuozzo both primarily operate on containers; Proxmox uses LXC and Virtuozzo uses OpenVZ.

With things like kernel same-page merging, LVM thin storage pools, and memory ballooning, the difference between "containers" and "VMs" is reducing to the point where the main difference is whether there's a software layer emulating the hardware or not.

Docker is the new kid on the block, and a bonfire of billions of VC dollars can create a lot of smoke.

I'm not sure they would have been ignored, perhaps they may have had enough influence to stop it becoming such a big issue.

I rarely started abrasive discussions, but I would jump on the abrasive statements of others pretty quickly to call out bullshit.

A little off topic, but an example: Someone declared that if you ever doubt any woman's claim about being raped or assaulted, you are the worst kind of person, and you're sexist.

Well, I was assaulted once, and then the girl turned around and told all of my friends that I attacked her.

I lost a LOT of friends over this and it had a pretty negative impact on my life. I shared this experience, and next thing I know dozens of women I'd never met are telling me I'm likely to be a rapist when I grow up and I should just kill myself and I was probably lying about not attacking her. I was just a white male who has no experience with abuse and should keep my mouth shut. Nevermind that I was physically abused for 15 years until I left home.

The complete irony of the situation, what with the victim-blaming and being called sexist while being told my opinion as a white male was invalid, was not lost on me. That was the first big sign that Facebook had become a cesspool.

This is exactly the kind of harmful backwards thinking I want to eradicate. However it seems that some rich and powerful have decided it is in their best interest to manufacture this kind of thought and impress it into the masses. I want to find out how technology can create a level playing field.

The app's just a thought experiment but I wonder if group moderation could be done in a way that doesn't produce social bubbles or echo chambers.

He did. He said the children in Newtown's kindergarden and Columbine School were not killed with encryption. It is a pretty big difference. For a non-American this is a pretty good argument, IMO.
From the linked article: "The goal of the email is not so much
to attract viable users as to repel the non-viable ones,
who greatly outnumber them."

My one useful insight in life is realizing that this is how street catcallers work as well. By crudely whistling and making loud vulgar remarks, they efficiently weed out all but the most self-disrespecting and compliant of potential partners, with little effort.

It's also the reason why a certain species of scam email almost always has typos. Absurdly incompetent spelling and grammar instantly weeds out the non-idiots, leaving only the easy marks.

Can you actually back this statement up? Because what you write about drones is just a description of one particular example, which still doesn't explain the exact link between suffering and ethics.

- Start with the philosophy of having a few clothes of high quality rather than a lot of clothes of low quality.

- Fit is the most important thing. Get a few shirts and a basic suit made to measure. You can do this fairly inexpensively via sites like https://www.indochino.com/. I charcoal grey suit, a white shirt, and a light blue shirt are a great way to start.

- Understand the differences between style and fashion. Fashion is a never ending treadmill of mindless consumerism, constantly prompting you to buy new clothes. Style is about dressing timelessly.

- It's hard or go wrong with a nice pair of brown, leather soles shoes. I like Allen Edmunds: http://www.allenedmonds.com/.

Hi, as a Travel Agent, What website you visit the most beside HN? curious to know.
There are 2 ways of working with Bootstrap. 1: the one that you specified where you change the variables directly in LESS/SASS (BS4). You need to know LESS/SASS for those changes. And 2: the one where you don't know LESS/SASS/CSS and you just want a different design for the default bootstrap. You download a UI Kit that has a new design and it is also containing new elements/example pages. Using the UI Kit/Theme/Template, you don't have to dig deeper into the variables if you don't want or you don't know how to do that. You just start to work with the backend and you are covered on the front end. Now the reason for us, here I'm talking just about our company, don't know why other do it in this way or another way, we want to overwrite the bootstrap and keep bootstrap as a separate file so we can easily migrate from v3.3.0 to v3.3.5 or from v3.3.5 to v4 alpha 4,5,6 etc, without doing major changes in our UI Kit. Makes sense?
They're using doublespeak. They just want the same thing but they're trying to pretend they're asking for something different.

They think we're stupid like criminals too.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to look into this specific approach, and I've been away from nanoparticle biology for about 5 years now, but...

In almost all cases where nanoparticles have shown promise to treat various conditions, there remains one huge hurdle: how do you get them into the patient? i.e. Swallow a pill full of nanoparticles, and later that day you'll end up taking a nanoparticle-filled dump. Oral bioavailability is almost nonexistent. The only practical delivery mechanism is IV. For treating cancer, that's fine. Most advanced chemotherapy drugs already are delivered via IV. For an antibiotic, which will see greatest demand in locations with poor health facilities, i.e. with no real means of safely delivering IV drugs to large numbers of people, that's pretty much a deal breaker.
How about a crackdown on misuse of (new and old) antibiotics in places like the USA?

What nonsense. It's obvious what the parent comment meant. Law abiding gun owners by definition do not kill innocent children, just like law abiding people do not use encryption nefariously. Encryption and guns are both tools, with nothing intrinsically good or evil about them.

Yet law abiding gun owners were punished and had their rights stripped throughout most of the world on the pretense that it would somehow help stop crime, despite the quite glaringly obvious fact that criminals by definition do not care about following laws. Thus, only law abiding people are hindered. Criminals will still use encryption and guns, while law abiding citizens will be rendered unable to defend themselves, either electronically or physically.

I find it amazing that I need to spell this out for you.
We will fix that, it seems the issue is from flexbox on iPhone.

Not at all. Science isn't just about observation, it's also about predictive power.

Once you run the experiment, whatever happens, happens, and you observe it and register it. But you don't want to do that. You want to come up with an answer beforehand -- I think this will happen because it lines up with what that model suggests should happen. Once you run the experiment, you know which direction it should go, but you still don't know why. Post-hoc explanations of why it rotated the way it did rob you of the chance of trying to come up with the answer yourself, so you can then find out if you were right.
Oh, that's really interesting! What were you looking to find out, and what did they say?

Probably. Most people fighting the gender wars need to sit down, stop talking, and start listening to the other side.

MRAs/feminists are people who are in pain and each one's specific pain needs to be heard. I'm not referring to their grievances toward their gender...that's a separate ordeal. Before we can talk about those things productively, the pain bringing them to the table needs to be empathized with by whoever sits opposite them.
Nah just because he uses it, doesn't mean he understands the extent to which his proposed stupidity would comprise our security.
The original PSD/Sketch version of the UI Kit was built having the Orange as the primary background image: https://www.invisionapp.com/now Since that is not the most usable case for a website, we made also the white background version. We just wanted to show to the users that it is very easy to go between the states and all the elements are working fine on white/orange background. Makes sense now?
As the author of said post I disagree. Given that the original post to which I commented refers to Amazon, Google and others — entities born in mid to late 90s operating to this day — any analisys of state action vs these corporations must be done within the context of this timeframe and not before.

In regards to "moving goal posts", I have not, and will not ever do such a thing, as to me a debate is not about winning anything, but clarifying points of view. If I wanted to move your own "goal posts" I would point you back 200-100 years, and talk about the Industrial Revolution, Railroad construction in the US, Telegraphs and Phones, invention of flight, among many others all but initially driven, built and financed by private money.
