Good thoughts and perspective, thanks for sharing!

This touches on why I have really come around to the view that diversity programs and affirmative action are merely perpetuating the negative stereotypes that we want to eliminate. By lowering standards in the name of diversity, we are essentially reinforcing to everyone that those benefiting from the reduction of standards are in fact less qualified, even when they aren't in reality. Pardon the crude expression, but at the end of the day you can't pee on someone's leg and tell them it's raining. They may smile and talk about the rain to be politically correct to your face, but the truth is easy to see.

This bothers me greatly. Some of the best and brightest engineers I work with are women, and they are not there due to lax standards. But until we stop with the "diversity program" stuff and the mentality that woman > man because of gender, we aren't going to move the football forward. We're simply perpetuating and even ingraining the perceptions that women are in fact inferior, hence the need to give them an advantage to "level the playing field."
I've always assumed that once Tor was sufficiently popular that the majority of nodes would end up being attackers. NSA gets whatever money it wants, there must be entire server farms running Tor nodes for them.

What has always surprised me is that someone hasn't tried to install Tor nodes into compromised IoT devices, etc. If a virus is installing millions of nodes in the wild, that might be enough to keep the network majority non-attacker. As it stands, NSA or China, or whoever just ends up buying the whole network.
This was predictable, no? I mean, all those damn preteen cam whores! And wannabe cam whores. And kids, having fun.

So what, in a decade or so, an appreciable percentage of young people will be labeled as child pornographers?
I cannot understand why Americans say "we" in statements like this. I'm not out of mine (at least not with respect to this issue) and you're quite likely not out of yours.

It's not noble to take responsibility for things when you have no control over them and thus won't be able to fix them.
It's not the act of taking the photo. It's the act of distributing the photo that's being discussed.

There needs to be a distinction between Freud the clinician, whose theories have all but been entirely surpassed in the treatment of mental illness, and Freud the philosopher, who is still a major reference point in discussions of philosophy and cultural theory. Marx is still an active force in those conversations too. These discourse discuss methods of interpreting literature, art, history and culture.

The great structural thinkers of the last century, Hegel, Marx, Freud, Darwin, Nietzsche were the last philosophers that attempted schemas to describe all of history and culture as a single synthesized whole governed by definable mechanisms . Their flawed tools (the world spirit, the economy, the unconscious, biological evolution, and the will to power) are all somewhat rusty but there have been no real contenders to replace them.
Ok well what about countries where the age of consent is and has been much lower than ours (Italy at 14, France 15, etc)? They don't seem to be suffering any negative effects although I haven't done much research into it.

Yes, but the elephant in the room is that a credit bureau possesses that information in usable form. This can be taken care of by key management, where the individual owns the key and only one key is able to exist per individual at a time. Then, only those credit grantors who have been authorized by the individual are able to update or view the data.

This is what I mean by not meeting business goals. It is clearly a bad idea to give Grandma an irreplaceable key. But that's what this proposal is.

Looking at your previous comments, you always have a lot to say with none of it having any substance. Fascist sympathizer.
Why should a anyone have to have the occasion to make such a reply? What workplaces have you worked in where you could literally ignore other employees, especially authority roles, without repercussions? In what world do you suppose women are not subject to this sort of sexual harassment regularly?

I think that you mean "prosecuting" ;)

And yes, that's already common. Or at least, it was, when people still used film cameras.
That's not the mindset of enterprise IT though. The mindset of enterprise IT is "if it works, don't touch it." This mindset developed because of decades of dealing with arcane, complicated software that was at the same time critical to business operations. I'm aware of a major university that still has a three-week "change freeze" at the start of every semester because of this attiude and I'm sure they are not the only one.
Yeah no, since there is always some amount of loss, the energy gained back from moving downhill is always lesser than the energy spent going uphill.
>We have talked before about the shifting balance of power between entrepreneurs and capital providers. I have argued that the rise of founder-friendliness in startup funding is not just an idiosyncratic matter of philosophy, but a structural matter of negotiating power: If good ideas are rare and valuable, and capital is cheap and plentiful, then people with ideas will be able to extract whatever terms they want from people with capital.

This is very, very true, especially if you compare current funding terms with what was prevalent in the 80's.

Just to clarify, Singer believes that you should be allowed to kill babies for years after birth.
These are the easiest laws...namely because they are strict liability laws[1], if pictures exist there is guilt notwithstanding intent which is the common standard in US criminal law.

Take a dead body, that could be murder( 1st degree, 2nd, 3rd), manslaughter or even a lawful killing (self defense). But as you will see in the link below even receiving a text can lead to conviction even if you receive it in error and report it.

[1]https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/news/congressio...
I'm definitely leery of any law that attributes strict liability to mere possession, rather than requiring the authorities to prove that something was obtained with intent or knowingly stored in an unsafe way. It might as well be engineered to enable busting "inconvenient" people by planting evidence.
Because I think that Google is a big user of, and contributor to Linux, and the fact that they are developing their own kernel probably means their participation will decline on both counts.
> Everybody else looks like Equifax.

I don't doubt that there are other Equifaxes out there, nor do I doubt that there will be more leaks. But this wasn't a simple matter of a horrible code base. Heck, the leak wasn't even due to Equifax code, it was due to third party code. Other companies of Equifax's size apparently do better. Equifax should have done better, and I'll bet if the penalties for losing this data were more severe, would have done better.

Why is there always so much hate for amp on HN? I'm on a PC and I vastly prefer these pages to the huge/bloated default pages offered by so many publishers. Using the TC page linked in the original post as an example, if I turn on Ghostery it blocks 22 trackers! https://imgur.com/a/iTnlT

I agree that it's possible that annoying ads do work for advertisers. Just like super-expensive Super Bowl ads bring in a good return on investment even if I think I already like Coca-Cola enough to not need to see another commercial. But the ads could be both beneficial for one party (the advertiser, and/or the brand) while being hugely terrible for the host. I'm a news junkie but I actively do not go to CNN.com. Not just I don't visit its front page, but will just ignore any content that's being shared from that domain because I know the ad/video-junk consistently ruins my ability to consume (and enjoy) the content, no matter how great or important it might be.

Well done sir. You won comment of the day!!
While I don't know what pricing AWS has for high bandwidth customers since it's not public, I do know that the public prices are really high.

The thing is, even for smaller companies it's easy to get way better deals on bandwidth. I'm currently using a provider that runs openstack and I'm paying less than $0.009/GB, from the first byte(no commitment). I'd say that is very cheap compared to AWS pricing at $0.05/GB above 350 TB.

With colocation or renting dedicated servers and IP-transit you can get way lower prices. A dedicated 1 Gbps is about 300 USD/month with my provider, and the prices drops hard for dedicated 10, 40 and 100 Gbps uplinks.

Never used OVH myself, but they are providing 2 Gbps at £340/month for their highest quality bandwidth, and £64/month for bandwidth they think would be good for downloads.

I think using cloud providers for somewhat high bandwidth services are basically throwing money out the window. Until prices really drops(if they ever will) I'll continue thinking that clouds are for temporary workloads or prototyping with the ability to easily scale at a high cost.
It's not hard to form definitions, it's hard to form ones that people will agree upon because there are many different interests in play and many different values. And it's not really that difficult to know whether a proverbial 'clump of cells' is developing into what everyone normally agrees to be 'human' or not.

The hard part is in forming the laws and deciding whether they should value undeveloped members of the homo sapiens genus for their species, for being intelligent, their capacity to suffer, or other reasons, then balancing whatever rights are assigned against the rights of others.

It's "we" as in "we the people". "We" are doing this because our elected representatives appointed the people who made the decision. "We" collectively bear the responsibility for what our government does. But there's a difference between responsibility and guilt. Unless we voted for someone and knew this would be the consequence, we shouldn't feel guilty.
You can bet all you want. Your head will roll next, after Equifax and everyone else you decide to demonize. Once the avalanche starts, it won't stop.

Know what happens when you demonize something? People stop reporting it.

Look at the actual damage to actual people. You are arguing for prison time for the execs, if I remember correctly. Yet it's unclear that a single person has yet been materially damaged by these leaks. If you want to suck away N years of someone's life, you have a higher bar to clear.
I am reading it from a desktop and I had to do a double take when I instantly noticed how it was techcruch but didn't have the epically annoying fixed sidebars and delayed loading ads messing with my scroll bar. I came here to suggest we add /amp to the end of all techcrunch submissions. Title, content and a single static ad at the end, if all news sites were like this I would not complain.
Sadly enough.

How to Remove AMP Pages from Google SERPs Without Error 404

They do. That's what a modern file system is. The on disk data structures and related code is usually less complex than the higher level software features. It's just that unfortunately these layers aren't often exposed for use (ZFS is the exception).

If I were writing a file system from scratch, and I have thought about this, I would make a base layer that did nothing more than provide a hardware independent interface to block devices plus B-tree and PATRICIA index implementation that includes block-level features such as RAID, snapshots, log structured updates, etc.

Then on top of that you can either write a fast DBMS for a BeOS like experience, or a POSIX compatibility layer that makes a more traditional hierarchical interface.
Not on average. But since this is HN, there's a good chance you are a software engineer. Assuming solid ability and a few years experience, yes.

Also BeOS was wooing Apple to be the replacement for the pre-X macOS. It would have been too, if Jobs hadn't returned and decided on NeXT instead.
Why "prosecution" and not "investigation." There's a difference. It depends upon an audience. What about self portraits? That's how photographers learn. I had a Canonet and black and white film as a kid. I loved it. Asking questions doesn't have threaten kids. Good kids will answer good questions. Have I missed something?
I've been a happy recipient of their growth as my readers pin thousands of images to their boards each month netting millions of impressions on Pinterest each month, in addition to a solid amount of referral traffic coming my way.

Strangely, my site was recently blocked and have been frustrated that I have yet to receive a non-automated response.

While I guess I can't really complain as it was free traffic, they have basically vacuumed up a significant amount of my content, and are now noting my site as spam.

Frustrating to say the least.

I'd rather live on my 20 acres with propane power and the batteries powered by the sun.

I like that we dug a pump well for fresh water.

I like that I can go outside with my daughter and watch wildlife walk by. I don't need to get a streaming service that puts an image of wild things on a 40" screen. My daughter is going to have memories for a lifetime of her and dad naming the pretty cougars and foxes that walked in her backyard. She'll always remember and be able to come back to her own woods with trails and chirping, the stream by the house, and her very own lake Elizabeth with little jumping fishies.

I already get things delivered to my door same day from Amazon, so I don't need drop off locations at town central, where I would need to get my packages. But, I can go into town, whenever I want. It's not far.

If people want to keep building ever more expensive housing that is constantly more and more interdependent with other systems and people, then go right ahead. Meanwhile, life is waiting to be lived right now.
The cake made for a gay couple doesn't have the stamp of the cake maker on it. And nobody is forcing the cake maker to advertise/display/host the fact that they make cakes for gay weddings. Also, more importantly, the courts aren't making the cake maker put on violent propaganda on the fondant :/.

I'm hoping the courts can see the difference when judging "free association" and just throw this out.

Everyone can walk to anything they need. I've never been to a city in this country that didn't have a grocery store, a radio shack, or any store of items I might need. So again that's great you enjoy walking. I don't feel like walking 7 days to Colorado. I would rather drive the 8 hrs. Anything else I can walk/bike/or drive to get what I want near me.
Not really. It is more complex than that. Keep reading.
Not sure. I've been using separate "Work" and "Personal" profiles at my workplace, and can beautifully have two Firefox sync accounts syncing their own stuff. This limitation of the new Container extension prevents me from using it as I'd never want my personal and work set of extensions, bookmarks, and history to mingle with each other. Big oversight.

It isn't necessary DevOps or system admin not capable. You've vendor software not up-to-date that is beyond your control, and often users do not know until vendor sends a notification or a hack headline comes online then "oh fuck" moment.

Just to be fair too: I have seen a number of enterprises run their "legacy" infrastructure (mostly refereing to on-premise servers and old applications) doing a good job keeping up with updates such as Microsoft and whatever Linux flavor they use. But the new system/DevOps havr trouble getting through the gate, mostly IMO because we adding too many layers to the stack.
Yup. The airfare, hotels, restaurants, and souvenirs cost an absolute fortune. You can do alright with their budget friendly resorts but still. It's so much fun though.
MBT usually means Main Battle Tank.

I agree, I have no idea how it relates. Plenty of MBT's have very high top speeds under ideal conditions. The actual top speed is usually to something lower to prevent damage to the tanks tracks however.
Yes, but computer vision has moved forward by leaps and bounds since 2014, and so have GPUs.

AD pipelines uses object-detection for traffic-sign detection. RCNN was state of the art for this back then and ran at what 0.2 fps and ~40 mAP ? SSD came out in 2016 and ran at 60+ fps at ~80 mAP. Google's mobilenets implementation probably runs atleast twice as fast and apparently has no noticeable loss in accuracy.
It's not an acronym, it's an enthusiastic misspelling.

I don't see sillysaurus3 defending Equifax. I see him talking about the elephant in the living room. No system is invulnerable yet the fortune and well being of half (or more) of the population of our planet depends on those systems being safe. We need a new paradigm. The basic principles of security, no matter how skillfully and deeply applied are inadequate to defend against a determined attacker. We need a new paradigm. I'm not sure what that is, and as long time Microsoft detractor, I'm loathe to say maybe Azure's just-announced secure enclave architecture just might be that new paradigm. Of course, I'm sure they'll fuck it up some way or another.
The point of not having a steering wheel was to experiment with a platform where it is assume disengagements where user intervention is needed in an emergency won't happen, because Google's own research indicates that relying on disengagements is dangerous.

Level 2-3 cars are frankly, too dangerous for the road IMHO, and the rush by automakers to ship these out to the public is, I predict, going to lead to some serious disasters, class action lawsuits, and regulation, that imperils the whole enterprise.

If there's anything that you don't ship "until it's ready", it's a device that's lethal to human life when something goes wrong. Tesla already killed someone, and while you could argue he violated the beta test agreement, shipping cars which requirement drivers to be attentive and keep their hands on the wheel while self driving -- ready to be aware and take control at a moment's notice -- effectively are engaging in bullshit marketing, because we all know that people who use self driving don't want to sit there "engaged" but want to be free to do somethings like check their phone.

Public data on disengagements shows Waymo is far far ahead. Are disengagements important? Yes. Every disengagement is a failure of the car's automation to handle road conditions that would require emergency intervention by the driver. But keep in mind, Waymo drives off the highway as well, whereas many of the competitors with worse disengagement figures are triggering them on mostly highway driving.

Taking time to do this right might be frustrating to those who want products shipped immediately, but the first time a level 2-3 car runs over a schoolyard, people's minds will change very fast.
"the Court found the prohibition of images that appear to be, but are not actually, minors improper; any harm stemming from those false images “does not necessarily follow from the speech, but depends upon some unquantified potential for subsequent criminal acts.”"

Washington SC: "He claims any potential harm in his case is just as attenuated and vague as Free Speech Coalition. Because no harm was done, he should have the same right as any adult to take voluntary photographs of his own body. We do not find this argument persuasive."

Am I correct in reading this as the court basically saying "The defendant presents a solid argument. We don't care." ??
