"least afford"??? As though these IoT devices weren't pure bored yuppie disposable income in the first place?

I would figure large service providers, and big companies with fleets of marginally protected devices, would be the ones to bear most of the damages coming from shoddy IoT devices being pwned and rolled into larger ddos/ransomware/etc attacks.

No, the advice in The Prince is directed at the fact that at political scales morals need to be reexamined.

For example: just the way our immune system would give up the antibodies in order to get rid of bacteria. We don’t ask the morality of it since we know our body is probably a higher being - and so is a society.

For all it is Machiavelianism is just a term having a very specific meaning; but which is not directly linked to what the author was writing about.

For example - we say “Platonic love” - but we rarely mean it in the same way Plato meant it, where he was speaking of divinity; rather than just the absence of sex.
They used to spam their email list with that offer every month or so. It got so annoying that I unsubscribed. It seemed like a bad sign.
Yes, I agree, lower prices are better except for wages. If most prices go down and wages stay the same, that's measured as an increase in productivity.

Technology hasn't stopped in agriculture. For example, there are automatic milking machines [1], and there's a well-funded startup that wants to grow lettuce in warehouses built near distribution centers [2].

I wouldn't expect the price of milk to change much in the short term. In the long run, who knows? Maybe biotech improvements will mean we don't need cows?

The initial conquest was extremely brutal, but there were few cases of forced conversion. Like many areas taken over by the early Arab caliphates, there was a strong incentive to not encourage conversions, as the Jizya taxes leined on Zoroastrians, Christians, and Jews were one of the more significant sources of state revenue. The first hereditary Muslim dynasty, the Ummayads, prohibited non-Arabs from converting for this reason. Many of the Ummayad Caliphs had deeply bigoted views towards non-Arabs, discriminating against both non-Muslims and Muslims of Non-Arab ethnicity and were extremely hostile to Iranian culture, in some cases executing Iranian subjects for being literate in Persian. Iranian fighters of Sunni, Shiite, and non-Muslim faiths were cruicial in the Abbasid Revolution[1] overthrowing the Ummayads, and afterwards, Iran regained its place as the cultural capital of the Achaemenid and Sassanid dynasties.

I already cashed out enough to pay for school, a new house, and a new car. My parents are farmers. Even if Bitcoin went to $0, the number of people who became wealthy vs broke would be skewed towards individuals becoming wealthy because the late money is primarily institutional.
Most of them run Xeon, so yes, but about 10% use either Opteron, SPARC64, Power, and Sunway.

Byzantine monks had the same neoplatonic ideas that were common in Western Europe, having been established around Constantine's reign. Aristotelian ideas lived on in the Arab world, and it is contact with their philosophical works that led to Aristotelian ideas in Christianity.

It's getting harder and harder to keep inflation on target. Universal income may become attractive from a monetary policy position at some point on top of the other reasons that have already been discussed.
Franz mentions Wirth's metric for compiler quality: Speed of self compilation.

I first heard this idea, in a slightly different form, from Vickie Markstein (part of IBM's 801 team) in early '88. She suggested using this idea as an acid test for optimizations. For example, if the compiler with value numbering compiled itself faster than the compiler without value numbering, then she'd say value numbering was worthwhile.

Given the organization of the 801 team, it's possible the idea was due to John Cocke or one of the other members. Doesn't matter much, I think.

I've never had the opportunity to test optimizations using this approach, but I think it would be a fun way to approach the question of adding optimizations to something fast & simple like the Oberon compiler, the Plan 9 compiler, or the Go compiler.

Indeed, for a _system_, like Oberon or Plan 9, where everything is compiled with the same compiler, we could go a step further and try adding the optimization, rebuilding everything, then timing the new compiler. That way any benefits the optimization brought to handling I/O and such would be properly credited and we'd (hopefully) see a steady improvement in the programmer's experience.

It’s an improvement ideologically, I suppose, but not a practical reduction in economic damage potential. In a very real sense it doesn’t matter it you have quit making something seriously damaging if you need to disable millions or hundreds of millions of devices—ie some automatic update functionality is in itself hugely more helpful than just opening it.

Ideally we would have this suggestion in addition to a stick to ensure people have an incentive to sell relatively secure hardware.
Just by reading the HN title I was 90% sure this had to be John Regehr. The man’s a monster!
This title is, while technically correct, highly misleading. Also needs a 2015.

>Don’t interfere with their liberties.

That's true for everything. Apple wouldn't have been apple without Woz, but I'd argue Jobs had a much bigger role in making apple what it is. Similarly, Linus is the one who has built and shaped Linux into what it is today. Other people have of course contributed, but they haven't influenced Linux in any way. If not for these specific people, some others could have contributed and we'd have the same result today. But you cannot replace Linus like that.
> The direction is monodirectional. Eighty six proposals can fail, but ...

This kind of thing is true in every domain of legislation and regulation. Indeed wherever officials have wielded power since the before the building of Babylon. And yet the world has not, in the large scale, been on a march towards ever more tyranny. How is that?

I don't fully understand the process by which freedom has increased in most countries through history but it does exist. So it makes sense for people of good will to think, and discuss and act so as to help it along.
Thanks, yeah I get that, but I think I'm having a lack of imagination about what to do with that in terms of how to build something useful and user friendly out of it.
I think this has more to do with the fact that cell-phone cameras got much better.

2010-era phone cameras were pretty crappy.

My own Holga never had light leaks, and most of the effects I got out of it were done via double-exposure or cross-processing the film (a very common Instagram look).
From what I can see anti-science, anti-technology attitude is endemic to modern English speaking western culture.

Elected and un-elected officials are just a symptom of the problem. They'd all flip-flop if they thought the political and media climate was shifting.

Agree. At all 3 of my previous companies, most hires we're often a buddy of the manager who usually wasn't very good or a fit for the role. There's usually no process. One thing you can do that's a low hanging fruit is just take a day with your interviewers and come up with 5-10 quality questions and a short way to make sure the same questions are asked to every candidate and nobody asks the same question. That alone will increase the quality of your interviews.
Let's hope this move helps with the transitioning to Python 3. I'm not a Python programmer myself, but I'm tired of things getting hairy on Linux dependencies written in Python. It almost seems like I always got to have a Python 2 and a Python 3 version of some packages so my system doesn't break.
You are pathetically capitalist. What if I believe that the best power in the world - is our society, and I would do anything in the world to make it a more powerful one? Even if that puts me in a less advantageous position?

Your “power dynamics” arument is now flawed - since I could argue both for the strengthening of my position or against (or even both, depending on the shape of the question).

What Machiavelly got right, on the other hand - was the fact that everyone is flawed. You could either take advantage of that or you could work with it.

He has nothing to do with the “winner takes it all” or “eat or be eaten” philosophy.
> People should have to authorise each device for each type of traffic

Nobody wants to do this. I'm a quarter way paranoid about electronic security and even I don't want to do this.
> They can't even detect fake and duplicate accounts, which would be trivial in comparison.

They almost certainly can, but due to capitalism, they have a business interest in not really removing these accounts.
The relevance is direct - while the argument may be about some specific case, the power given does not have any limitations to this case, except vague requirement to serve "collective interest" of consumers, whatever that could be. It also builds the legal framework for extrajudicial control over the content on the Internet, which means the government may now control speech in order to serve "collective interest" of the consumers, which will inevitably be defined by the government itself, in a self-serving manner. This opens wide potential for abuse, and a stepping stone for implementing other extra-judicial limits on speech - if it's ok to protect consumer from fake watches, why not from fake news? Why not from "bad" viewpoints and "harmful" information? Thus the government gets full control over the online speech, for your own good, of course.

An example of how that happens and why it is dangerous is the Catalan domains story. The Spanish government is obviously trying to limit speech which is not in its interests.
In the EU countries there are already blockades of some sites which allow people to access the links to the copyrighted content privately uploaded by some web users. Specifically, I know that providers get the court backed demands to block the sites, and they do that.

But if you consider, youtube is exactly the same kind of site, having the copyrighted content uploaded by some web users there since Youtube exists and -- nobody blocks Youtube. And Youtube even still profits from that content as it serves its own ads on it.

And do the biggest pay the taxes?

"Google will pay €306m (£259m) to settle a tax dispute in Italy and end a criminal investigation into whether it avoided paying the full amount on its revenues in the country for more than a decade."

Italy is just one of the EU lands.
There is no precise definition but I think everyone will agree your iPhone is not a supercomputer :)
> type safety

The text changes are type safety, but there are many more miscellaneous type safety improvements (like the default comparison between types (alphabetically by type name, except NoneType!) being removed, so now you can use set comparison operators with confidence) – plus support for type annotations.
Yeah, +1 for openly sharing challenging things. Working on that too.

It was working fine for me, right up to the point I wrote an article that contained "naïve", at which point my naïve string handling (SQLite->HTML) broke horribly. Moving to Python3/Unicode was the easiest solution.
Thomas Aquinas read Latin translations of Aristotle's works by Iacobus Veneticus Graecus (James of Venice) -- who studied in Constantinople and translated Greek works held in Constantinople.

The fact that Byzantine scholars were inclined to Platonism does not mean that they destroyed or completely ignored Aristotle's works.

The fact that scholars in Europe thought by the 12th century that maybe they should pay more attention to Aristotle does not mean that they had entirely forgotten who he was.

The fact that Pépin the Short (8th century) received a copy of Aristotle's works in Greek from pope Paul I does not mean that the West had completely lost --nor lost interest in-- the Aristotelian body of work.
This is called network segmentation and it's the direction that the network security industry is moving.

It will be more complicated than just 2 networks and it should be based on behavior and trust rather than device type. Consumers don't yet have the tools to monitor/categorize devices based on behavior, but some corporations (like mine) offer platforms that automatically move risky devices to network segments to mitigate risk.
We use Appengine, which only supports python 2.7. As well as being a reason for us to stick with 2.7, I imagine Google prefers what is effectively a LTS release. If (hopefully "when") they provide 3.x, they will need significantly more support resources to keep up with continual releases.
Yeah it does, you just need to take a 5 year horizon and not a 1 year one.
Python would have lost popularity and would have eventually died without Python 3. Being a scripting language with a relatively low barrier to entry has always been among its selling points. Text processing is a very common use-case for such languages. In a Unicode world, you can't really have a language that is supposed to be easy to use yet requires contortions and has major pitfalls in simply handling text.

One common way to attribute multiple authors in a commit is to add a `Co-authored-by` commit message trailer. You can read more about git commit trailers at https://git-scm.com/docs/git-interpret-trailers.

As an example, if this was a commit message, the trailer adding my attribution would be like this:

`Co-authored-by: FirstName LastName <myemail@domain.com>`
I'm sorry I think you are confused. When you buy stock, you are providing capital to the company issuing that stock. Yes, even in the secondary market, although indirectly. The company then invests that money productively and the economy grows.
For true lab notebooks pencil is unacceptable because of their erasability, not longetivity. A formal lab notebook is used in such a way to provide a nearly immutable record. That's why corrections are done with a single line, blank space is blocked out, the notebook is bound with numbered pages and used chronologically, etc.
Alphabet and others invest $70M in artist-friendly, tech-driven music label
You make it sound like they're holding out of some weird sense of spite. It's more reasonable to assume most large or small companies still using 2.x have not prioritized upgrading over, I don't know, staying in business?

As large libraries drop 2.x support over time they'll have to prioritize upgrading.
> There is limited rational or ethical reason for one human being to accumulate so much centralized wealth

First: yes, there are ethical reasons to accumulate so many resources: because some problems are incredibly hard to solve and need a lot of resources to even start to solve.

Second, it is not on the people who have earned something to prove why they should be "permitted" to keep it; it's on the people who believe it should be taken away from them to justify that. Saying "it's a shame that there are billionaires" is a complaint that some people are wildly successful and shouldn't be, or that they shouldn't be permitted to keep what they earn. There is justifiable resentment and offense to a conversation that starts with a thinly veiled demand for justification, rather than a presentation of justification. The burden of proof is approached the wrong way, and nobody seems to discuss that.

(I'm not interested in quibbles over the word "earn" here.)

It's not a shame that there exist billionaires. It's a shame that there exist people with nothing. The former doesn't need fixing; the latter absolutely does.
As a 2.7 user, I drool over f strings.
What are interviewers looking for in the demo project?
Ideologies and violence caused so many disasters in history. At least money does not directly terrify us like that. Billionaires usually became victims of such disasters. In the end, money is not the ultimate power. It's violence that matters most on this planet.

> The Chinese people see 5[0] mao bots from 10 miles away
> The very nature of the internet makes humanity question truth and authority

The short answer would be, these aren't really targeting people who can tell the difference and/or ask questions. Instead, the tech-illiterate, senior citizens (largely regardless of education level), rural "guest workers", etc..

It's the Nigerian scam game. Maximize # people affected per $.
How do you deal with insurance fraud if the manufacturer is the one paying for the insurance?
Is this something that be automated by a sufficiently advanced smart contract? It seems strange that energy is directed towards creating yet another market with yet another moat to capture money when such a service should be forced as close as possible to commodity pricing.
It's not the EU that benefits out of this, it's the US. The US owns all the copyrights.

In 10/20 years time if the US falls off its number 1 perch, this will law will be quietly dismantled and it'll be open season on our collective cultural heritage instead of pandering to the US's crazy protectionist copyright laws. It'll probably result in a golden age of culture in the EU instead of being ruthlessly oppressed by the US.

The irony being a lot of US "copyright" is based on EU folk tales and music they took with them and copied.

I'm one of the absent-minded crowd.

I think it's hard for the orderly types to relate to the absent-minded. For them, remembering things comes naturally. They project this onto absent minded types which leaves only one explanation for them being inconsiderate or forgetful -- that they're lazy or uncaring of others. As if they thought "Yes, I remember I'm supposed to do X, but whatever... it's not important."

As someone who's very absent minded I can say that there's never any dominance tactics or purposeful lack of consideration for others. I just forget things or don't think about them.

If, in the shower, I think "hey I need to remember to buy shampoo as soon as I get out of the shower", I will literally forget about it within the 2 minutes it takes me to get out of the shower and dry off. I'll be standing out of the shower trying to remember the thing I was supposed to remember. Oh well, I just move on with my day.

It's not an occasional thing. This happens to me 9 times out of 10.

So it's no surprise that when I tell someone "yeah I'll bring X the next time we meet" I never remember to bring it.

Luckily in my life I've got friends and family that understand that it's just the way I am and that it's ok. I get the fuddy-duddy professor treatment. I've had more than a few friends tell me I'm the dumbest smart person they know.
