This is happening in the UK. Small children learn Scratch, which, of all the decades of attempts at beginner's languages for kids, turns out to be the one that works:

Apparently it's not just the academically bright kids, the middling ones get it catching their attention too.

Later they get taught "textual languages", which I'm pretty sure will be Python.

They also get taught to use the office apps - but they are introduced early to the concept that these machines that civilisation runs on are things they could tell what to do.
Unfortunately if there is a "default" whitelist, it will become a "whoever pays $x money gets on the defaulted list." (I'm not referring to only Apple but if Chrome, Firefox, etc come out with the feature).

I think that your point of view is both :
- totally acceptable :-)
- not really answering the OP question !

The way I understand it, the question could be phrased : "What costs are we willing to pay to reduce the collective social costs of ultradependence on private companies". You clearly states what are the costs you're not willing to pay, but don't really answer the question which is : what costs would you actually be ready to pay ? (Maybe the answer is none, but I don't feel like you actually state that ?)
Self promotion: https://github.com/zevv/zForth

zForth is yet another Forth, but with some special features not found in most other forths. Note that zForth was written for engineers, not for language purists or Forth aficionados. Its main intention is to be a lightweight scripting language for extending embedded applications on small microprocessors. It is not particularly fast, but should be easy to integrate on any platform with a few kB's of ROM and RAM.

> And if you can get them to run your install script

If your script is obviously malicious then you're reducing your chances. Such a change could seem innocuous[0], then, cloning a repo containing a so file in the middle of a long list and cd'ing would trigger payload execution. Distributing the maliciousness by chaining innocuously looking actions is both effective at bypassing human logical analysis and plausibly deniable (up to a point).

I'm working on freedomlayer.org.
It is a research project for finding out solutions to various questions:

- Distributed and secure routing, specifically in mesh networks.

- Creation of scalable economy of digital goods (Storage, computation power and networking) between computers.

I believe that these will provide a foundation to build things like distributed email.

Currently freedomlayer contains mostly research documents, though I plan to implement some of it in the near future.

Yes, the overflow either segfaults your program, or doesn't. It's not undefined. Computers don't perform random operations. Just say "it will produce buffer overflow" - that is absolutely a defined operation: the CPU will execute a load from an address that hasn't been defined at that place in code and will either contain leftover data, or refer to an unmapped page, triggering a segfault. This isn't quantum mechanics where the underlying physical reality is inherently undefined until you measure it (caveat: as far as we know, at least), this is just insufficient knowledge of hidden variables. I understand that the compiler might emit instructions under various assumptions, which is what we mean by "undefined behaviour" when those assumptions don't hold, but once there's actual machine code running on the actual CPU, everything is absolutely perfectly defined.

All the solutions and problems in computing stem from the fact that we're programming completely deterministic Turing machines that do exactly what they're told.
Humanoid robots can fit into existing environments without extensive adaption. And humans have legs.

Irrelevant in a factory, where you can adapt things as much as you like - but crucial if you envisage people sending robots to environments they don't own - like a robot carer helping Grandma go to the store.

Needless to say, the profitable applications for this aren't especially short-term, so the ROI for this research is hard to predict.
I don't think many people were celebrating it. The vast majority of people saw it as a grubby power grab and a hit to the fairness of the internet.
>You don't feel that skews your perspective just a little bit?

Not anymore than it skews yours. Except I spent the majority of my life there. I know people in the pulp and paper mill of my hometown, in the mines of Greater Sudbury, doing construction. Personal friends. We had one high school, with 400 students; it's not like I grew up privileged.

It's a bit surreal to even be participating in a discussion about Northern Ontario on HackerNews. There are very few things I'm an "expert" on on this site; life in Northern Ontario might be the only one, ever.

But I say that they're not "abusing" the system as long as the company is offering "unlimited" service. They're actually not offering "unlimited" service, so it's the companies that are abusing the buyers, not the other way around. If companies offered like you said, a "large enough" package with some limit, instead of "unlimited", then I would absolutely agree that they're abusing the system.

> But the point remains that most people are voluntarily, enthusiastically, giving up personal data in exchange for features that they find valuable

No, that's demonstrably false. Most people have no idea how exactly they are tracked and what information is being collected about them. How would they? It's not always as simple as "Uhh, so I guess if I write an email in Gmail Google can see my email?!" And even then, I think the majority don't actually think that Google does that. "I mean, email is private is it not?!" - is what some people likely think.

Do you actually think that most people know that Facebook and Google track them across the web and know most of the sites they visit when they aren't even on Google or Facebook's websites, through Google Analytics code and the Like button (without having to press on it)?

How long before the technology and bandwidth becomes advanced enough that it's actually possible to capture all conversations from mics 24/7 of the people around a device, and store it for analysis in the cloud? Do you think people expect that to happen right now, or are "enthusiastic" about it? No, they don't and aren't.

In fact some call this idea a "conspiracy theory." But ten years from now we'll probably discover Facebook or Amazon has already been doing it for a few years, and a few more years later the privacy invasion apoligists will start saying "well yeah, of course they listen to your microphone, that's why it's there! To analyze your context and give you even more targeted products and ads!"

Companies first abuse new ways to track people (I guess they would call that "innovation"), and maybe 10 years later, regulators catch-up to it and force them to pull-back their tracking a little bit, after the information has long been stored and used in their databases.
C# 7.2 and 8.0 Roadmap
Capitalism has own set of problems like unfair distribution of income, unequal opportunities, patent system that prevents spreading innovation. I think it is used only because we don't have a better system at the moment and because people who benefit from it want to keep the status quo.

For example, in a capitalist economy two people that contribute equal amount of time to work can get different rewards for it. And those who get bigger reward would oppose to changes.
If, we were to create a clean x86-64 without all the old baggage, how much complexity could we get rid of? Surely with many CPU in server / non PC and closed environment recompiling should be much easier.

Yeah thats the big black box titled "magic happens here" in their diagram. Maybe something like HBM2?
In my view, algorithms that deal with user data (our social data) should be designed by universities and perhaps government agencies, like in the old days of the internet.

The role that big companies can play (we still need them) is supply hardware, and perhaps subordinate software libraries, also like in the old days.
I'm genuinely surprised anyone would take a place completely unseen. Even if you remove the possibility of being scammed like this and assume the place does indeed exist, there's so much potential for creative photography to hide problems. Not to mention noise, bedbugs, broken appliances etc.

Did people do this before the internet? It's amazing how a "corporate" looking website can convince rational people to be incredibly trusting.

So yeah, never do that.
Indeed, and this is likely to be a major sticking point with May. You can't really tell any kind of anti-immigrant story with a fully open border, but a fully open border is what peace in Ireland needs, and the DUP fully recognize that.

It's important to understand that support for moderate parties in Northern Ireland has only collapsed because both Sinn Fein and the DUP are seen as being fully committed to the peace.

Tensorflow for Deep Learning Research
That's a very narrow view of the problem. There are so many moving parts in a program that overwriting an arbitrary chunk of stack is effectively random. Do you object to the term "random number generator" too?

Just saying "or doesn't" is not a useful description. The vast majority of horrible broken behaviors fit inside of that bucket, where it doesn't segfault but then goes on to do the wrong thing at an unexpected place.

And because we're using an optimizing compiler, you can't give a simple description like "overflows a buffer". When the compiler assumes your code is correct, it might output instructions that behave in 'impossible' ways when fed invalid data. For example an if/else that takes neither branch, or both branches, or code that verifies a number has a certain value yet outputs a completely different value. You can only make assertions about what a particular compile will do, and that's obsolete information immediately.

In my country (Germany) I don't get the impression that the official news sources (state sponsored media and established newspapers) are impartial. At the same time massive efforts to censor social networks are underway, camouflaged as "fighting hate speech". Hate speech is conveniently vague and boils down to "disagreeing with the official party line". There are no courses to appeal against this censorship, in fact, no real accountability for the people doing the censoring.

To me therefore such articles are merely a smear campaign in support of impeding censorship.

I really don't see how the public is supposed to be better informed without social media. In some countries it is even worse, when the people who get elected for government also happen to be the owners of the major media outlets (like Berlusconi in Italy).

I think I also saw a paper debunking the filter bubble thesis (as in people still get so see other viewpoints), but I am too lazy to Google it.

Even without social media, people create their own filter bubbles by only consuming media that aligns with their views. I suspect in the US, Democrats rarely watch Fox News?

The conservatives have a serious problem right now: pragmatism is seen as being ideologically unsound. Look at the amount of briefing against Philip Hammond there's been. We're talking about a fairly competent, pro-Leave chancellor who has merely argued that potential downsides should be evaluated properly before charging ahead. And he's treated like a Traitor To The Cause.

The problem being that Conservative MPs can be competent, moral and a true believer in Brexit. But it seems to be impossible to be all three.

(The last sounds like a joke, but the exception may prove the rule: Stephen Phillips is definitely a true believer, and demonstrated his integrity by quitting his seat due to his horror at the way Brexit was being handled. Boris Johnson, on the other hand, is none of the above.)
My experience with fake news on social media so far was that somebody always stepped up to point out it is fake.

No such mechanism in traditional media. In my country sometimes news outlets can be forced (by law) to publish a correction of a false story, but it is usually done in small print and gets hushed over.
How you can comfort your kids after pet death
I have no official position and no inside information. Here are my observations.

There are a number of things that happen that people are not always aware of. There is, for example, a "flame-war" detector, that works on the heuristic that if there are more comments than points then it's probably a smaller number of people having a back'n'forth, so it's likely to be unproductive/unenlightening. It's a heuristic, but it works well enough to be a good first approximation.

But these things are watched and reviewed by the mods. They can remove that penalty if it seems to be a false positive. They can also apply a boost to items they think are good material for HN, but which haven't got the attention they deserve.

Looking at the traces[0][1] I suspect that this item has had a boost, and the other has had the flame-war penalty.

That is sort of the Zen of meditating, achieving quiet while the brain is still making noise. I have seen it put like this -- the brain and its inner dialogue is a raging river, swim against it and you will drown. Stop resisting, float along the river, relax, and join the river.

That is how intrusive thoughts are, especially when learning to meditate. It is very hard for most people to silence them directly. It seems to work a lot better to acknowledge you had a thought, and return to meditating.
