> To add to your point, a fair amount of homeless people have mental illness, so no amount of job will help them if we don't care to their mental health.

Mental illness isn't always a 100% sort of thing. Most people I know have been diagnosed with some sort of mental illness at some point or another, most of them either temporary or minor. Most of these people are gainfully employed, most of the time. Some of these people have had some issues retaining employment due to a mental issue getting worse.

The more demand for your labor there is, the easier it is to get back on your feet after a temporary worsening of your condition is resolved, and that's super important, I think. Also, if you have chronic issues, the degree to which your employer will tolerate those chronic issues is determined largely by demand for your labor.

I mean, certainly, there are some who are completely disabled, and I imagine that if you took one of those people I know with minor issues that periodically got worse and better, they'd have a hell of a time trying to get better if they were homeless. Certainly, mental health treatment is important and would help a lot. I'm just saying that more demand for your labor is also something that helps a lot, even when you do have some other issues.
I was assuming contention but I guess I wasn't clear, sorry. I updated the post. But saying this "only" occurs when there is contention is very misleading since it makes it seem like the scenario of lock contention is a negligible concern. It's not.
> an organized group calling in a huge amount of swattings, so much so that it becomes a regular occurrence

> I certainly don't encourage it

Why not? This seems like a very reasonable, sober approach to testing this problem. If SWAT teams can't pass this test, they need to be put on pause until they can be repaired.

I mean, we do this sort of pentesting for things as trivial (at least by comparison) as bank accounts and health records. We're talking about people being murdered in cold blood here. I damn well think that a SWAT team needs to be able to demonstrate that it can survive a falsified report without murdering somebody.

I doubt it will help to combat poverty.

It will be used as a tool by the rich to extract more money and increase poverty.

Who will wield these AI tools that is supposed to be used to fight poverty?

Corporations are for-profit and a corporate sociopath cannot be concerned about limiting profit to help the poor. They'll want to use AI as a new tool to increase profits. This will come at the expense of the human populace at large.

My government in the United States of America is rapidly falling to greed. Corporations only act nominally concerned about the poor as a PR act to prevent the rage of the populace from using government against them. Since my government is even further down the slide into plutocracy than ever before, this government will neither stop the greed-based corporate use of AI nor will it use it to help the poor, because there's no money for their rich patrons in helping the poor.

Even you want this magic AI tech to help the poor, who will do it? Where will you get the data in the first place to feed into this A.I. and Big Data magic machine? I argue the two sources above will not be a help in so far as they might threaten the greed they exhibit.
It’s kind of a gray area, the whole performing/mechanical rights system was obviously invented before streaming. Radio stations pay for performing rights, so the question arises whether streaming is more like radio broadcast or manufacturing and distributing physical copies (e.g. CDs)? Without further legislation, ultimately only the courts can decide that.

My guess is that ultimately streaming rights will end up as their own category, separate from performance, mechanical or sync rights.
At a Christmas party about 12 years ago I ran into a woman that I had been on a couple of dates with. Because she and a her girlfriend at the party were drinking I offered to drive them home. On the way home her girlfriend got a call, learned of a swingers party, and invited us to go with her. It was quite surprising for me. We didn't stay or participate, but I had no idea that such well attended parties were going on under my nose and overlapped to such a large degree with my social circle. (This wasn't in SV.)
When an artistic pursuit is personal, it seems like it could maybe be passed on in a will or something similar. This might be a ridiculous idea, but I guess I find complaining about someone’s artistic endeavors not being free to be absurd in it’s own way.

Honest question: Short of root-level access to the entirety of their infrastructure, how would you verify it?

I work for an ISP and have toyed with the idea of offering a "private, no logs" VPN service. As someone running such a service, what would it take to convince you that I wasn't logging information that could be used to identify you?

(Obviously, there would be logs of some stuff -- just not the kind of things that would allow you to be individually or personally identified.)

That article is discussing several different legal actions. I understood Spotify's comments regarding the artists to be in reference to the class action lawsuite Wixen is (in their opinion) interfering in.

In general to have standing you need to show you have been directly harmed. The exclusive licensee of a song would be directly harmed if someone distributed it without paying for a license. So while Wixen may not have standing in a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of the original artisits, they would have standing in their own action which they have now filed.

1) Apple--who I assume made the decision to end the service abruptly--was not my client.

2) I'm making objective statements. I'm not making a judgement of whether it was smart, foolish, fair, unfair, etc. Actually I was very happy for the FDB team and stay in touch with some of them.
Thank you for this! I was quite shocked that Spotify would just outright steal a bunch of songs and publish them without any kind of license. This makes a lot more sense.
It's simply nonsense to claim that sampling and mashups have been stifled by copyright law.

Ignoring a few ancient parody/satire acts like Negativland, samples are made, used, cleared, and paid for with no serious negative consequences. Likewise remixes.

There's some extra paperwork, money changes hands, and on the whole everyone is happy.

What's been far more damaging is Spotify's insanely exploitative model, which sees its officers making millions while the artists who provide the content get pocket change - if that.
By the way, indenting comments makes them frustrating to read on mobile.

The generally preferred method on HN is to begin the line with a > and optionally wrap the quote in * (asterisks) to make it italicized.

The syntax itself may be a big deal. With a unified syntax like the above LISP-like example, you can meta-program all content, structure and style with the same scripts, and manipulate them inside the same generic tools.

This could be used to reduce the number of entities in the system, in special those for logic expressions and control flow.
Glad to find others here who had a negative impression of the article. Wasn’t sure what comments to expect given its association with two influential organizations. My objections vary somewhat from others, but overall I felt it was at risk of drifting into Not Even Wrong territory.

The author suggests hard working middle class people are missing out on millions unfilled job openings ripe for the picking, because we don’t have good enough matching algorithms.

One insult is suggesting desperate out of work people may not already be taking the extraordinary measures necessary to find the best positions they can get. I question even the validity of the claim, that “matching” is alone is keeping any significant number people out of work. Another insult is not mentioning a lot of these jobs may not be filled simply because the salary and opportunity for career development are not that great.

Other topics like improving the educational system are grossly oversimplified given the competing interests of students, teachers, politics, and government. The biggest problem has been explained here on HN previously: Education doesn’t lack good ideas or innovation as much as it lacks funding to develop and implement the good ideas.

Other points about how AI will remove concerns of bias seem naive, or at least not in tune with recent work like that from Facebook, that has faced an uphill battle trying to convince people its easy to create objective policy systems.

I can see the benefit of articles that look at the current practical challenges of AI, and also more speculative articles that look at what the future may bring. This argument seems to be stuck in the middle, while not doing particularly well at either.
> the law has no spirit. The law having a spirit would mean we have to depend on ethical beliefs

The law is also not a set of boolean logic statements. The "spirit" is just a way of acknowledging that language is imprecise at best, and often laws are poorly written to begin with.
I think it is more complicated than that. And I doubt we would be able to have a good discussion on the matter. You seem to be driving towards "Women just don't want it bad enough." There is some truth to that. But there is also a higher cost to women to just do the will-to-power thing and, in the aggregate, it doesn't serve survival of the species.
Equifax should not exist because the credit system causes so much harm spread out over many individuals. That problem existed before the breach, and it is just as much a problem with Equifax's competitors as with Equifax. The breach only serves to highlight what malignant parasites the credit agencies are.

To take up the mantle of Devil's Advocate:

Neither of these are doing anything wrong on their own[1]. When you go to map something you want to be able to access the index sometimes. When you parse an int, you sometimes want to be able to specify a base. Maybe in a strongly typed language you might use an enum with valid bases instead of an int, but that doesn't make sense in a dynamically typed language[2]. Maybe you use different function names if you want to parse an int in decimal vs an arbitrary base, I can't argue with that, but overloaded functions/methods are the norm and not the exception in most languages I've used.

[1]: Except parseInt's default radix which is ambiguous and the cause of countless bugs. But this bug is because we ARE specifying it.

[2]: And no, being dynamically typed is not inherently bad design.
That trick costs a bunch of money in fees though. Volume is still a better measure than market cap. And If you don't like using the volume or market cap, what do you use?

Not a chance. There have been too many other breaches, I don't see how there would be any way to tie a particular instance of potential identity theft back to a particular breach. And besides, how many more breaches will the be in the next 6 months? 12 months? Take a look at this: https://www.identityforce.com/blog/2017-data-breaches. That was last year...you think 2018 will be any better?

> And if you insert dynamic checks instead, you're talking about turning each memory access into many (memory accesses that in a modern CPU are hidden by the TLB).

You only have to check that the memory address is not negative (kernel pointers are negative on x86-64). No extra memory access needed.

True, but we mainly need a better way to validate identities than information that is easily stolen.
I'm glad you brought this up, because I think it's important to emphasize just how different and disconnected these scenes are, so that one doesn't get swept up in coverage of the other. Especially as the elites making up the one described in the linked article are contributing toward pushing out the existing queer/kink scene (eg. through loss of venues to gentrification). And the latter culture, as I know it, is far, far more concerned with consent and equity than you'll generally find in straight/vanilla spaces, tying back into decades-long histories of actual liberatory struggle.
In germany the better term and profession (for the tax office) is "system software consultant". Because this is a free profession, in contrast to other consultants who are non-free trade "gewerbe" with additional mandatory taxes and what else. E.g. application SW consultant, strategy consultant or just consultant is non-free.
How exactly would an entity that makes such a claim, as in this case of "we don't log access", be able to allow external parties to verify this without handing over access to their infrastructure for manual inspection?

I've read a little about zero knowledge proofs, but don't really know much about the subject to know if it could be used to verify these sorts of claims.

Is it so far fetched that perhaps the existence of so much poverty is intentional, or at least caused by human action and inaction? The power structures have a lot directly and indirectly invested in keeping the common man down. With current technology and productivity, humans should be capable of lifting even 20 billion people out of poverty but market inefficiencies caused by corporate greed and border controls reduce that capability by orders of magnitude.

The problem with ">"-style quoting, is that the markup doesn't recognize them. Nor does it preserve the preceding newline. So if you are quoting anything more than a one-liner, you get a mess.

I think the key part of the outrage against Equifax, and part of why it is more outrageous than most breaches, is not only was customer data revealed, but also data about people who want nothing to do with Equifax. There is no action victims could have taken to avoid this breach.

In most serious breaches, there is a certain amount of "well, you have to be careful who you give your information to..." even though it's not the victims fault. This factor is not present in the Equifax situation. Equifax is allowed to hold and market a product based on data of individuals who never gave consent, but has no responsibility to protect that data or repercussions when they fail.

Arguably this breach has put the final nail in the coffin for using SSN's as secure identifiers. Granted, it was a horrible and mostly-already-broken system to begin with. But I think that this flawed system was still worth in excess of $14B - and Equifax's negligence effectively destroyed that value. I agree bankrupting Equifax would be heavy-handed, but it would be nice to at least see some punitive action that would discourage such negligence in the future and provide an economic disincentive to possessing vast quantities of private data.
Curses User Interface?
>That's not how impulse propagates. The force carries through the plate, into the person, and does its damage as a compressive wave.

That would be true if the plate was pressed hard against the body. A force requires a carrier - a field or a matter. This is why there is padding behind armor. The padding air-gaps the body from the plate. Nothing crosses the air gap during the 0.02ms that the huge force you're talking about is acting between the plate and the bullet. The body isn't aware that something that violent is happening just a few millimeters away. At t=0.02ms the interaction between the bullet and the plate has finished and the plate is flying toward the body with the speed ~16m/s. At that t=0.02ms the plate has so far traveled only for less than 1mm and it will take it ~0.5 milisecond to cross the air gap and to slam into the body at about the same speed of 16m/s. Such slamming is like being hit by a frying pan. Can be pretty damaging if hits a joint or the head. May break a rib. Yet nothing close to being subjected to the force of being stepped on by an elephant or 30 of them.

>Why then does a shotgun slug, with considerably less momentum than the .50 cal and even a frying pan, crack ribs through armor?

The slug momentum (0.03kg at 540m/s) is 2.5 times less than that of .50 cal (0.045kg at 900m/s), so nothing surprising here, especially if it is through a flexible (i.e. different mode of action) kevlar armor. The steel plate armor we're discussing is much heavier.

>Why can I put a piece of AR500 steel in front of a watermellow, hit the steel with a .308, and have the watermellon explode despite nothing getting through?

Even if the watermelon is air-gapped from the steel, the watermelon still can't sustain being hit with a frying pan ( even with less than a full swing of it). If the steel isn't air-gapped from the watermellon - in this case the watermelon do get the force applied if the steel isn't fixed, or a compression wave by the steel plate vibration if the steel is fixed in place.
