It drives me crazy how much this clutters search results. For years I would almost always sort by >20mins/upload date for whatever I was looking for (usually lectures/talks, hence the >20mins) but over the past few years where I used to get the most recent talk from $person, now I get a full page of reuploaded content from 1994, half of which is from the same spam user. Now my search of choice tends to be viewcount/<1month.

I now prefer mps-youtube for the majority of my youtube interaction. It's a gplv3 cli client, and then I just have VLC open up the video. No ads, no popups, no links.

You know, a long time ago when google bought youtube I remember thinking to myself that it meant it was never going to be the same. After things like the google+ name fiasco, etc (Jawed Karim's first comment on youtube was: "why the fuck do i need a google+ account to comment on a video?"), and many other scandals, and not seeing hardly a dent in their userbase, I wonder what it would take to get the users to another platform?
I'm disappointed and appalled how this headline is in gross violation of Adobe®'s General trademark guidelines (http://www.adobe.com/legal/permissions/trademarks.html). It should read "Is her image enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software? [...]"

Maybe that's the next thing that should be legally enforced somewhere in this world.

The subtext of the article seems to be that anorexia is a worse public health problem than obesity.

I'm trying to get the company I work for used to the idea of ML in general, and one thing I get push back on is that we don't understand what such system are doing. Beyond showing them the math, I also point out to some of our bug reports that end up spanning thousands of lines, with input by our best, most experienced people, and that how often the bug "fix" is of the "well, it works now" type, and that we actually don't really understand what our system is doing. Of course the most common response back is a bunch of "yeah, but"s :) I'm making progress, but it is slow going.

I've been steeped in code for nearly 40 years now, I'm ok with the fact that ML lets me step back a bit from tabs, semicolons, and objects!
Oh man thank you very much I' just starting to get into hardware/embedded systems coming from web and this is so cool.

I don't know if this is uncool to ask I'm also late a few days to respond.

With regard to connection to the web generally (to my knowledge) you need some way to communicate say send a POST request to some API and I'm not sure if this means that you need an OS which when I think of an OS you need to keep it on or even with sleep... I don't know. I don't know if you can design hardware/firmware meant to interface with the web, still be programmable and simple/light on resource without a full blown OS like raspberry pi.

Anyway thanks much to learn.
Grab the blade and flick it while holding the blade. The weight of the handle will pull it open (at least partially). That is enough to qualify under this law unfortunately.
Just to be clear, the quote is my interpretation. The SEC's official position is the DAO guidance and the Howey Test.

However, throwing any possible ICO idea at Mr. Vilardo, he was able to cite previous successful SEC lawsuits that the SEC could use as presedence.

The only token I could conceive that he thought there SEC would not be able to go after is a token that can only be bought and sold at a fixed price and only from the issuer (non-transferable).

He also reminded me that the SEC is one entity. States have their own securities law and you could easily be sued in state court under a different set of securities rules than the federal government has.

EDIT: Also, to be clear ICOs and securities are not illegal. Selling an unregistered security is illegal. If you want to sell a security you can register it with the SEC and be fine. That will of course be pretty expensive.
Google said they were going to go after those ads on AdSense with misleading "download" and "install" buttons.

New York (State and City) has an obsession with blaming weapons (and potential weapons) for crime, they have a web of arcane and nonsensical laws which tend to penalize common people who want to believe that the laws are reasonable, and are surprised to find out just how unreasonable they are. The officials of course love these laws. They've made the public so wary of "weapons" that it's valuable for them to invent as many "weapons offenses" as possible.

I wonder if New York's approach to weapons laws has roots in their switch from slave state to free state (which was late for the region) like so many laws in other states. Texas took until the '90s to manage to annul their prohibitions on the concealed carry of handguns (they were no-issue up until 1995) which were clearly initially intended to be enforced selectively against the emancipated.

So it's a compliance issue. Then the law is fine. A person should be responsible for keeping their property legally compliant, be it automobile, knife or propane tank.

That said this is a silly law.
> My only point is that having a substantial amount of faith in anyone, when the stakes are high, is folly.

Because he has credibility due to his track record. That's the basis of how networking works. The authors of software such as TLS, Whonix, Tor, Tails, Debian, all have a certain amount of credibility within their peers as well as the general public.

We stand on the shoulders of giants.

Yes, credibility can be abused; as a matter of fact, he did abuse his credibility. Snowden broke his credibility to the NSA (and US government), but for a greater good of both the people of the USA as well as the international community. The price he paid? He lost his well paid job, he lost seeing his family and friends, he lost the luxury life in the USA, his house and any and all of his assets, and a substantial part of the USA hates him (tho a more vast, significant part in the world, is thankful). Ie. his credibility with the rest of the world has substantially increased.

Now, you may think he may abuse his credibility, and it'd be a great plot for a movie, but that doesn't make it realistic. And why? Isn't the same true for any programmer on Zcash, Bitcoin, Etherium, and anything else? If you claim you cannot trust anyone, how can you live with yourself? Are you sure that's air you're breathing? Are you sure the color white is white? You'll end up with a full blown paranoid psychosis if you go with that line of reasoning (speaking from personal experience as well here). My point is that, at the very basic level, we need to trust and take some basics for granted (and, all of us do).

So what we need from you, is some kind of facts (not theory) as to why we cannot trust Snowden. The fact, as far as I can tell, contradict what you wrote: Snowden hasn't acted in the past based on financial gains. For example, he didn't sell NSA information to media or foreign agencies. Instead, his actions were solely based on moral grounds plus personal survival (hence he ended up in Russia).

I'd like to end my post that, yes, people who are psychopaths would very well end up doing something you described. I have no indication Snowden is a psychopath; tho I'm not sure about those he worked for at the CIA and NSA.
Sure, but if you sign into your Google account on any browser it does the same thing.

It's not unique to Chrome. There are additional sync options that are available to Chrome, but those are all opt in.
From my conversation, I understood "an expectation of profits" to mean from a reasonable investor. In fact no one even has to complain if the SEC thinks someone could have expected profits then it satisfies that bullet in the test.
The article's point is not very strong, from personal experience (Finland, experience in Nordic startup "ecosystem").

Like you said, working at a Startup in the Nordics is considered risky, which doesn't make sense at all. Like the article underlines, Nordics countries have a insane social safety net, that even if your company fails, you're no where near as fucked as if the same thing happened in the US for example.

Yet, comparatively a very small amount of startups come out from the Nordics. Yes, Sweden has some, but if welfare = more startups were true, Denmark, Norway, Finland should all be top startup countries.

What I actually believe happens, and this is backed by personal experience, is that this safety net actual promotes doing nothing. Nearly all the gains/positives outsiders see of the system are wasted on the actual habitants. Nobody here thinks for a second longer about healthcare being free. It's taken for granted. So no, I don't think this is the reason for Sweden's success.

(Sorry for going on a tangent! Just wanted to write some of my thoughts)

A number of ES6 additions were initially Firefox extensions (though some standard-track features like comprehensions also got removed).

Umm, not sure this is universal but partial. Depression seems evolutionary psych for multiple, overlapping purposes:

- Reducing aggression (and hence conflict) in larger groups.

- Focusing on existential re/purpose by turning inward (ie find a new job/hobby/outlook/philosophy). Lots of reading, writing and ideation. Hopefully rebuild confidence/positivity with completing something.

- Retreating for terminal resource consumption minimization. Leave more for the young.

Also, anecdotally, I did everything “right” (ie CBT, frequent vigorous exercise, solid career, friends, sleep hygiene, address sleep apnea) and still couldn’t escape depression’s “mind pain” and depressive state. Only medication worked, like parting the clouds, waking up refreshed and organized thinking instead of a jumble.
Yes, many companies do it from the 10 person to the 10,000. It’s more important at 10-50 person range to ensure you don’t have disrupters. It’s entirely unneeded at larger scale but you still see it.
The mascara thing you mention is about avoiding false representation of the effects of the product.

This is very different, it is specifically about thinness, I believe that anorexia (or if not anorexia at least the psychological troubles that can lead to it) are becoming very common among teens, so it is more than anything else a "public health" campaign to remove the (false, or retouched) images of impossibly thin models from becoming the "reference model" of the youngers.

There was already something similar in a few EU countries, where Laws or Codes of Conduct were made prohibiting to hire fashion models with a BMI lower than 18 for the catwalk:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index#Legislation

The debate was at the time (and still is) whether the BMI in itself is a good metrics.
It's essentially the same technique as git.
This is a good point. Especially with Sweden being pretty easy on the taxes on acquisitions, compared to other Nordic countries.
Would love to hear Bitcoin proponents solution to this.

Can somebody here recommend any books on developing safety-critical systems? I've read some part of Kleidermacher's "Embedded Systems Security" book and found it very helpful.
Those same things apply to other Nordic countries, yet they are not as succesful.
Are you referring to Lebanon? In my experience, making oblique references to Judaism and the Jews often indicates that a person has opinions about them that he or she is ashamed to admit.
Absolutely! https://web.stanford.edu/group/maan/cgi-bin/?page_id=305

With Stanford's definition, consent can be considered null and void because they were drunk at the time, opening up the potential for retroactive revocation of consensual drunk sex.
It may not be popular in Hacker News but people still use Ruby for lots of different things. And even in the web development camp there's life outside Rails. Hanami has been getting a lot of traction lately.

Rails is still moving forward, though. I think it's the first major web framework (outside of the Node.js ecosystem) to offer official webpack support.
Maybe a lot of posts about Ruby now go to www.rubyflow.com...? I think this is a _really bad_ thing because by segregating all things Ruby, people on the outside perceive that Ruby is no longer relevant.

Some people say that Ruby is more popular now than ever. But if we don't see anyone talking about it on HN, it gives the impression that no thought-leaders are interested in it and that it's not worth learning.

I love Ruby, its community, and the community's values. I want to keep using Ruby for new projects, and not just for web apps. I've used SciRuby's dataframes, and I've also used Ruby to control LED lighting for side projects. But I also wish more people were doing more things with it.
Just the other day, I was commenting about how VLC is pretty much the embodiment of perfect settings/preferences/options. While many folks have reduced settings to just selecting a theme, VLC has settings for preferences that I don't even understand.

And that is perfect.

You've now been added to my regular donation cycle. I'd rather provide for longevity than a lump sum where I forget to keep contributing.

VLC should be the goal for most every application's settings menu. It is not just a menu to change settings, it's a menu that leads to discovery and learning. It's pretty much perfection.
I agree, the expectation has to be objectively reasonable.

If the coin has a mechanism where it can always be bought for $1 forever it's reasonable that you can't expect a profit.

But ICOs don't do this. They limit quantity to drive demand of people hoping their limited resource will be worth more in the future.
> Depression has to be about something more than just beliefs; it has to be something fundamental to the nervous system.

Is he saying thoughts and beliefs aren't fundamental to the nervous system/CNS/brain?

What if people get depressed because their lives suck and they had a shitty childhood?

Also, why are women twice as likely to get depressed than men?[0] If "happiness is the derivative of neural confidence"... then do men have more neural confidence?

> Depression to take a few weeks to reverse if you just get enough stimulation?

On average it will reverse regardless since the half-life of depression is only a few weeks, unless you take antidepressants in which case it's perhaps less severe but is also less likely to go away.
Yes: smart contracts are extremely short programs, usually doing very simple things. A thousand lines is a fairly large contract. It's feasible to spend a lot of time refactoring to make them as simple and clear as possible, to unit test extensively, and then pay several expert parties to review them in detail.

We're not quite at the point of being able to do formal proofs of their properties, but that's on the way, and also relatively practical given how short the contracts are.

We can see whether contract authors have done these things because unlike Win95, smart contract source code is always published, since everyone knows a closed-source contract could trivially steal their money.
The trick with mirrors (pure optics, rather than image enhancement) is that photos are not "edited" or "retouched" ;)
it's quite sad. Turkey was pushed way ahead of where it might have otherwise been through Ataturk and his western vision. Now, they are taking backwards step after backwards step. It will be interesting to see what happens once Erdogan is gone, though - will he have destroyed too much to repair it?
That's no failing, that's working as intended. It's far more beneficial for us (and more importantly, our successful ancestors) to be extremely wary of potential threats at the level of near-reflex. It's also important not to waste a bunch of energy running from phantoms. So you did something no computer today could; you had an instinctive reaction, which was then moderated by increasingly higher levels of reasoning. I'm guessing the whole process of panic->resolution took less than a few seconds.

That's no failure mode.

If you invest money and the money is used by the taco company to grow their business and your taco futures are transferrable and the value of a taco future can go up through the efforts of the company (their tacos becoming more delicious and therefore going up in price), then I think so.

> It's no secret that images of models are often retouched

Well it's not a secret, but it's not obvious for most teenagers. And may be not either for people without high degrees education.

A lot of people, and I suppose not only in France, are not at peace with their body shape, even if they're not obese nor anorexic. Been exposed to not really existing bodies images can be painful for self esteem.

Of course, computer modified photos are recent, but fashion already used lightning and tricking exposure when producing photos from film since, well, the fashion press exists I guess.

Locally someone recently got charged with possession of burglary tools for the hammer and pry bar they used to pull a small safe out of a home.

It seems to me that the motivation for such a law to apply to such a common tool is for prosecutors to have a tool to leverage during prosecution.
The current answer is we don’t yet have full functional pathologies of types of depression, noninvasive, specific mood disorders classified down to exact neurological dysfunctions, accurate and precise knowledge of how existing antidepressants work and evidenced-based application of particular therapies based on such scientifically-identified presentations. Clinical psychiatry has been mostly a scattergun, guesswork that lacks scientific rigor.

For example, I just tapered-off mirtazepene as it stopped working after 9 years and, so far, bupropion isn’t helping. I’d really like to try S32212 if it proves safe enough in human models because it likely lacks the GI and weight-gain issues.

> Ethereum could bill contracts based on the actual cycle count they take to execute on the CPU

No, you can't, because (1) you need consensus on the results, so you can't just have everybody measure CPU cycles on their own machines, and (2) you also can't trust miners to correctly report cycles on their own machines.

Which is fine because gas is an abstraction. The price per unit of gas is market based.
> That Business Source License that MariaDB put forward for new code at one point

As I said, I just made a clarification on that “new code” means other products and not MariaDB server.

Just for the record I am not a MySQL-based DB user, so I don’t really care at all about MariaDB or BSL. My license of choice for releasing my code is AGPL.
In my experience, "professionals" are incredibly bad at treating depression. They can treat some of the symptoms with an efficacy rate slightly higher than placebo, and with high remission rates, but are pretty much completely useless outside of that.

If I had to guess why, it's because we don't have a good model for what depression really is and why it happens.

The King of the Corona was far from an absolute monarchy, and there limits to what the monarchy could do. The Fueros were a kind of primitive Constitution pacted between the king and the kingdom (mostly the nobility), and nobody was above it.

Of course this put severe conatrains to the royal power, and the Habsburg had been trying for a long time to get rid of the Fueros and it was the first thing the Borbons did when they took over the Corona.
