I don't know, to me this sounds like a perfect scenario to let them know he's getting a good lawyer and justifiably suing them for damages if they intend to go through with it and delete his account. Sadly, in most cases abusers of power only stop when there's a steep price tag on it.
> Would eliminating the ID component of the proposal satisfy the critics?

I'm not a critic and I have no idea.

As to the rest, just about everything we do in interaction has an ID. This comment will have an ID. I as a hacker news user will have an ID. My cellphone and its sim card both have id's. My google account somewhere has an ID. These are just the requirements of data persistence.

As to this system for cars, in humans we call this object permanence. We track things with our eyes and maintain that a thing we were aware of has moved to a new location. Removing IDs seems to remove this fundamental notion of how we think. "Car x was here but now is here" seems like we have knowledge of the scene; there was 3400 pounds going 72 mph to the left of us earlier, now there's 3200 pounds going 71 mph in front of us. How many cars are in this scene? Did a care move in front of you and brake or have you encountered another car and lost track of the first one?

And from the proposal,
> Finally, the Temporary ID is a fourbyte
string array randomly-generated
number that allows a receiving device to
associate messages sent from the same
device together.

So its a random number generated every five minutes and that "[a]dditional research is being conducted to further investigate the ability or limitation of the five minute time period to mitigate the potential for tracking and protect privacy".
Web publishers have gotten lazy. Instead of becoming more dependant on Google and then complaining about being marginalized they should put more effort into marketing directly to their target audience and finding non-advertising revenue models.
At first I wanted to make an in-memory database. But I disliked libevent, libev and everything else I saw when I started it. Perhaps I would be more or less happy with libuv, but I was not aware of it back then. By the way redis also provides its own event handling machinery. I guess Salvatore did not like libevent too. But redis is single-threaded while my idea was to heavily rely on multi-threading and fibers (M:N threading model). Quite unexpectedly inventing a multi-threaded event handling framework with an added complexity of fibers took enormous time from me. Anyway now I have a cool framework for multi-threaded servers.

As for in-memory database functionality it only provides memcached compatible interface. As I'm done with the server framework stuff so I am going to add more features. Like persistance, basic redis protocol support, etc.
A large satellite may be falling apart in geostationary orbit
desktop application: the software is on your PC, the files are on your PC, you can use it forever, move it around and at least here in the EU your right to reverse-engineer it for compatibility is guaranteed

web application: cloud-service, eternally rented, may go out of service at any time (this has already been an an issue, remember zune drm?), does not interoperate with the native environment at all. you can't even read/write to files! p2p networks are impossible in browsers, everything is centralized.

People think that the "run applications in the browser" will bring us cross-platform goodness, but I think it will mostly make is more dependent on the ecosystem of cloud providers and lead to more vendor lockin since it is more difficult to get your stuff out of those silos.

And the indirect effect of marginalizing desktop applications ultimately means less control for the user. This is easily visible in the mobile sector but is slowly encroaching on the desktop too.
Car privacy has been dead for a decade or more between cashless toll systems, cellular carriers and LPR. It's not coming back.

Sticking your head in the sand and pushing back against a system that is necessary to protect the safety of the driving public as automated vehicles become a thing is shortsighted.

Image recognition technology is such that you likely have a dozen or more government and private entities noticing you. You can buy data from cell carriers to know the average income of travelers on a road at a given time for 45 minute drive in urban and suburban areas.

Hell, I built a parking gate system for somebody with a raspberry pi and an outdoor security camera sourced from EBay -- and I'm a dope with no unique skill in these areas.
As long as there is credible competition, market forces work. When Google (or MS, or Amazon, or...) successfully destroy all of their competition, that's when consumers suffer, and that's when it's too late for regulators to effectively solve the problem. See the cable/telco duopolies for an example of that problem in action.

So, sure. The fight to destroy all competitors is good for consumers while it lasts. Once it's over and there's a monopoly or cartel (as in the case of last-mile internet), the consumer is at the mercy of the monopolist. History indicates the monopolist will not be benevolent.

History also indicates the monopolist will leverage their increased power to manipulate the legal environment to prevent new competitors from springing up. In addition to the telcos, the fossil fuel industry is an example of that lately; despite renewables being cheaper and creating more jobs, more than half of our elected officials in the US are working hard to ensure another decade of fossil fuel energy dominance.
Maybe the car should emit some sort of electro magnetic radiation signal that can be detected with a sensor. It could be emitted when breaking. It could even be part of the visible spectrum so we could see it as light. Some sort of breaking light or maybe just break light. Too bad no one thought of this earlier.
This is pretty much a solved problem. If your ticketting system can’t handle this, take your vendor to task over it.

We send automated notifications from an address that’s manned by humans. Approximately 14000 a day. Rules for out-of-office in a large number of languages have been in place for years.

(And ‘does not work here anymore’ - we want those replies. If they’re getting mail notifications, they’re also getting sms and phonecalls. That’s an email worth handling before we phone the wrong person at 3am.)
It varies a bit by context; Linus's call is likely the right one in the context of the kernel, though to be sure it's not so big a deal that other approaches can't be made to work fine.

You call out one upside - decreased verbosity. The accompanying downside is usually - as in this case, for both structs and pointers - that potentially relevant information is made less visible. Whether it's a good idea depends on how likely that information is to be actually relevant, weighed against the upsides.

Where performance is relevant, you want to be aware of where you're potentially passing large structs around. Putting this info in the type name instead is an option (eg _s), and can reduce verbosity a bit. I don't know of any good reasons to call out structs that are sized like primitives.

The case against hiding pointers is much stronger. Level of indirection can be relevant to performance, and is often relevant to correctness, particularly where mutation is involved. You can put it in the type name, but it's not going to be any less verbose - a star is already one character. I allow a possible exception here for where an opaque type is allocated by a library and passed around as a handle and the client really doesn't need to ever know whether it's a pointer or an int index or what.
Except the driver of the car is liable for the ticket, not the car or its owner.
It matters, latency means buffering to start a video, plus rebuffering every time you move to a different point in the video.

> Also, latency probably doesn't matter for 99% of sites, which are already so bloated with JavaScript and other pointless content that processing time dwarfs the connection delay.

Indeed, but then CDNs also dramatically reduce the cost. It is far cheaper to serve an user in Jakarta from a server in Jakarta than from London. And even cheaper if the server is sitting in the ISP's core network in Jakarta.

The Internet as we know today couldn't exist without CDNs.
I can't tell whether you're being sarcastic? Several car companies operating today were founded after 1920.
I completely agree. I shared these links hoping we can borrow some concepts from here to evolve the .net webasm project.
It's most disappointing that when this comes up in the news they don't mention these facts. A lot of people don't know they can pay for a domain and email service and not have to worry about this kind of crap.

It's not particularly hard to explain to lay people and a story like this is the perfect opportunity.
There's a reason Evan Smith, who, despite this bizarre attack, is manifestly not some kind of anti-white race warrior, used the word Anglo. Texas is very much a melting pot, and even more so between Northern European settlers, Spanish settlers, and Mexican Americans. Anglo is used because more than a few people who are spanish-speaking descendent identify as white. I know this is shouting in the hurricane, but it might do you good to actually check out who it is your complaining about before you lob something like this out there.
I'm also curious what your opinion is on "the causes of this rapid demographic shift" that are "barely hinted at"?

Another point worth saying is that, its not the "urban elites" (wtf does that even mean) who are trumpeting the decline of "the anglos". Its the Daily Stormer. Its Breitbart. Its The Blaze. And, of course, its Fox News. I've stated elsewhere in the thread, I'm Texas born and bred. I've watched the descent into the maelstrom of Texas politics. Pieces sneering at Texas are a dime a dozen, this isn't one of them.

I'm also curious about this line:

"And yet at the same time, the causes of this rapid demographic change are just barely hinted at, and mainly to not-so-subtly suggest anyone who opposes the demographic change or wants to enact policy measures to try to stop the trend is simply backwards, bigoted and naive to political realities."

What exactly are you trying to say here? Because, yeah, any attempt to some how shore up a white demographic majority is, yeah, racist.

I can't say as I've paid much attention and I'm sure the majority of ice cream is made from artificial vanilla, but:

Additionally, Haagen-Dazs, a mass-market brand, offers ice cream with real vanilla:

I sincerely doubt that it's "highly unlikely" that most people have tasted real vanilla in their lifetimes.
I should have said looking at whether it is harming consumers now isn't the point. It's how it harms consumers over time. The chilling effect on innovation, the monoculture/fragility, the lock-in will hurt consumers in the long run.

Honestly, not having a steady semiannual or annual release cadence—even if each release is a small increment over the last—has probably held Haiku back more than anything else.

Many people don't want to even try nightly builds, so they try the last many-yeas-old release, see issues many of which are already fixed, and write it off.

Were I them, I'd only block a new release on the ability to do manual and automatic updates from the UI. From there everything else is gravy.
>It can be illegal to use your market dominance in one area (search) to reinforce or create market dominance in other areas

I think it's a stretch to say that searching for HVAC business listings and searching for HVAC business reviews are really different markets. If google had an HVAC subsidiary and they suppressed all search results and ads for competing HVAC companies, that would be abusing their dominant position in the search market to create dominance in another market. But is it really monopolistic behaviour to use their web search dominance to succeed in a slightly more specific sector of the web search market? You can use google to find reviews of products and services. They advertise alongside those search results. That is their core business. Yelp is a straight-up competitor. "Google is better than us in the market we compete in" isn't a valid anti-trust complaint.
It seems as anonymous as current highway usage and vision. You can see a car while they are within eye-sight. In this proposal, your car can receive data about the other car while they are within about 300m. Once gone they are gone. I'm not seeing the leap to tracking and the loss of anonymity.
"Artificial Retina LSI"... beautiful. :D
SSH is only relevant in that it might provide an additional motivation for operating in the terminal, in some cases.

My point is that, whenever you want to use a brand name like "Nutella" in a specific context and you're unsure about the gender, you can just use a compound word with a clearly defined gender instead.

I think that at least gmail usually flags these kind of spoofed addresses. But in this case, being sent by valid servers, gmail or others would just acknowledge it as the valid email address that it is. Thus leading to a possible misunderstanding for the receiver.
Bin the image from a raspberry pi camera by a factor of.. 8 or so (maybe 16 if you need smaller)? Load the image as grayscale and divide the counts by 64 to get 2-bit values.

Kinda difficult to buy crappy low resolution detectors these days because nobody makes them and you'd need to build the readout electronics yourself. You might as well just use a decent detector and make it look bad.

Yes, but they can be trivially blocked or discarded. My main point is that no advanced fingerprinting tactics can be used so the simple means work in the case of most site-breaking things. Privacy Badger eats CDN cookies - that's actually one of its main features, so it will prevent this kind of thing quite nicely without breaking websites.
Interesting idea. Ulf Love to see titles and primary subject to make listed.
The VIN isn't transmitted wirelessly though. The article mentions that it is possible to build antennas that can extend the reception range by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude, so 300m (the proposed design range) may be stalked from as far away as 30km (2 orders of magnitude) or even more.

Place strategically a few of these antennas and you can monitor a huge area.

There's nothing wrong with economics.

We haven't eradicated them, we have bred with them. Most of us are the decendents of both the sub-Saharan people and Neanderthal people and some of us are the descendants of sub-Saharan people, Neanderthal people, and the Denosovan people (three different species). If we are all human now then why is only one ancient population from Africa called human.

What everybody should do is register their own domain and create their own email addresses. Then an ISP is merely a forwarding service to some ISP email address you keep private.
This appears to be billed as a stand alone thing but it uses a standard Raspberry Pi and Z-Wave / Zigbe USB sticks. What is potentially novel here is being able to get up and running just by using their SD card vs doing the work to install drivers and a UI typically needed to get the protocols working.

I've been running my own Linux based hub just fine without this but it does seem like a good entry level device for cheap.
True. It's a bad habit I guess.

top comment from the same page: so, I found the Yelp page, and there are 26 reviews filtered out. Of those, the reviewers have a combined 27 friends, and they all come from just 5 people. None of them has more than 15 reviews, and the majority have less than 3. If you have almost no friends and almost no reviews, your reviews are probably going to get filtered out. Also, a lot of her 5-star reviews happened in a 3-day period, which reeks of fake-reviews,

>> The company believes that email may lead some to "believe that information coming from this address is from Eastlink."

The problem with their argument is that any email ending in @eastlink.ca will lead some to believe that information is from Eastlink.

Are you saying scientists (or rather, the institutions that fund their research and publish their data) are immune to politicization?

Are you saying that climatology is immune to bunk being published despite peer review?

Your post is a lot of whataboutism that doesn't answer the questions posed.
Flirting is always an exercise in plausible deniability. You do something legitimately (or plausibly) platonic, while working out what the other person wants. If you forbid anything that might look flirty, by definition you forbid a bunch of legit platonic behaviour. This is not a reasonable demand. This is why people push back so hard against such demands, using terms like "victim-blaming".

The problem with both of these points is the same:

> Most date rape or college campus rapes involve alcohol. But ... People act like advocating sobriety is some sort of evil impingement on a college girl's right to have fun.

If your college's social life is based heavily around alcohol, then yes, this drastically impacts your life. You are asking people (let's be clear: women) to self-ostracise if they want to be safe. (Is this a healthy culture? No. You should be able to socialise without drinking. But if you come from a healthier culture, it's easy to miss how much you're asking. "Just say sober" might be low-cost advice for you; not so much for the typical college kid who wants to fit in.)

And:

> Regardless of your gender, if you want to keep it clear that this is a business relationship, drinks alone in a private setting with a member of the opposite sex is a bad policy.

Again, you're asking someone to voluntarily abandon a form of networking, in an industry that is critically dependent on networks.

(Is this a healthy culture? Ehh...maybe? I'd be very sad if you told me I couldn't have a drink with my workmates/friends-from-work - but that's part of how we build our networks.)

Earlier, I had asked him if he was afraid to die. He shook his head. “Nah, I don’t think so,” he said. He told me his grandfather had died in the woods (of a heart attack while hunting), his father had died in the woods (of a chainsaw accident while gathering firewood), and he was “working on it”.
That's what I'd expect it to do too. Obviously it doesn't (it does nothing at all) but I guess I sort of expected nothing more.
