Nope. My personal preference is uMatrix, but that's an implementation detail. I rarely see an ad, and I didn't see any on this page. Also, I have more or less tuned out Facebook and similar sleaze, and I try to maintain some vigilance concerning anything which begins to unduly attract my attention.

And then I have to wonder: Am I living in a cleanroom? Am I letting my defenses rot? Am I setting myself up for a fall if some day I end up face to face with all the unfiltered gunk out there, presented in some new, insidious manner that I believe myself far too sophisticated to succumb to? Have I - or we - perhaps already succumbed, but do not know it?

If you continue to use a product then you are giving explicit consent according to multiple lawyers, including I think the very companies that ignores the DNT header. If it is considered by them as good enough to legally bind someone to a contract, surely they don't claim that the consent was given without a explicit decision by the user.

When it came to the cookie law those companies had one view in regard to defaults. With the DNT header, the opposite view.
Might not be that would-be miners are acquiring that know-how, might be that people with the know-how tend to get into mining.
It does. The bitcoin protocol adjusts its difficulty every 2 weeks by analysing the number of miners in the network. The adjustment is such that a block is discovered every ~10 minutes.

This is a money grab isn't it the South Korean goverment sees a lot of money moving about in crypto currency and they want to 'tax' it because why not?

The entire article sounded like excuses to me for why they need to be 'monitored' and of course if they are monitoring the might as well tax it right?

Not just genetics, but also our gut microbiome. The studies linking depression and other thinking to our gut bacteria raise some profound moral implications.

I've had really interesting conversations with some of the gay people I know where I've urged them to at least start thinking about what would happen if science found a biological or genetic basis for homosexuality. If human sexuality can be altered with a probiotic, targeted antibiotic or gene therapy, the LGBT community should be prepared for the renewed attack on their way of life that would bring. Just because they intuitively consider it part of their identity doesn't mean that it is biologically so. Science isn't going to avoid investigating or finding these kinds of things, no matter how much opinion shifts towards acceptance of non-majority sexual preferences.

I can also envision a world in which increased understanding of the mechanics of our sexuality poses some interesting moral questions and scenarios. What if all sexual preferences are governed by these mechanics, not just gender? Even straight people have a wide variety of preferences when it comes to race, body type and other physical characteristics. Could surreptitiously trying to alter someone's preferences be considered rape in much the same way that using GHB to bypass consent currently is? Could we have a world where gene therapies to increase compatibility become part of marital counseling? Might 23andme.com become the world's best online dating site? Might people in cultures with arranged marriages start forming the arrangements pre-birth and then selecting embryos for IVF based on the compatibility of their offspring?

This field of study offers so many really interesting /r/WritingPrompts for near-future science fiction writers. So many of our institutions, customs and culture revolve around the propagation of the species that demystifying it could really turn society on its head in some interesting ways.

> "there's no longer a dedicated Mac operating system team"

That took some time for me to sink in. I can fully understand the aversion towards dedicated teams á la Jobs, but we are talking about an OS that is used keenly by developers, an ecosystem essential to maintain. I was baffled by Apple not pushing ZFS further, the clear lack of interest in developers by not working on e.g. virtualisation, e.g. containers, a polished OpenSolaris or similar with tools we could make MacOS even greater. Like they couldn't afford it.
I'm not a Gnome 3 user or affiliated with Gnome. Personally I find it rather too bloated and sometimes buggy. I use i3, polybar and Rofi for my desktop. I think you are reading rather too much into my words, my point was only that, in general, Windows is not being copied by Linux desktops. And that only "some part" of the community want a Windows clone.

I take your point that Gnome 3 is criticised for many additional reasons other than deviating from Windows.

Gnome is basically controlled by RedHat, a billion dollar company and they absolutely do care about software patents, they are not like most projects. Linux Mint is what I had in mind as a "garage effort" providing, IMHO, a Windows clone.

That is because you don't actually observe the radioactive decay event; you observe it's byproducts. And the presence of an observer of those byproducts certainly changes their behavior (attenuation/scattering, energy, absorption depending on detection method) as opposed to if there were no observer looking at that byproduct.

This is why I think devolution is a bad idea. We already have an international race to the bottom on aspects such as tax rates and environmental impact, why compound it with devolution? In the UK, local authorities can set tax rates, but they can't carve out exceptions or change the tax schedule. Seems like a good system to me.
> In Kafka and NATS Streaming, reads (and writes) are only served by the leader. Similarly, Amazon Kinesis supports up to only five reads per second per shard (a shard is Kinesis’ equivalent of a partition). Thus, if we have five consumers reading from the same shard, we’ve already hit our fan-out limit.

Long live DistributedLog. One of the great aspects of DistributedLog is the read scaling. Start reading from any replica. Even read proxy node caches records for all consumers. Launch as many read proxies as you need, since read proxies are stateless.

So, good for OpenSSL for getting better. More better crypto libraries benefit everyone. Who benefits from OpenSSL remaining terrible?

I certainly don't think libressl deserves any sort of prize, but it does seem a little weird to give an award designated for advancement for something more like hitting par. If they'd been better to start, then no award? Most improved awards have strange incentives.

This award did feel a little different. I can't build anything on top of OpenSSL in quite the same way that I can take the signal protocol and build on it. (All the other winners did something that's useful to rust, too. :))
> law and order assumes the criminals are acting of free will

It doesn't really matter if there's no "free will", while a behavior of an individual can be approximated as a behavior of rational agent who properly reacts to an expectation of positive or negative consequences.

If a person can react rationally, then it is rational to disincentivize them. If they can't, then it is rational to move them to a psychiatric hospital, where they'll have better chances at fixing the problem knowing exact genetical causes.

The same as now.

It is a common misconception that Chaos theory and Quantum Mechanics show that universe is random. Chaos theory is a perfectly deterministic theory that basically means fragility to initial conditions. Quantum Mechanics, at least in Copenhagen interpretation does imply that the universe is random. But there at least 2 more, perfectly deterministic interpretations that make exactly the same predictions as the non-deterministic one. These are Many Worlds Interpretation and Bohmian Mechanics.

The attack is real but I’m not impressed by the way they paper over the notifications you’d get that they consider ‘easy to miss’. The messages you get when someone gets a new phone/key are even easier to miss and they’re off by default.

The point is that the server doesn’t know if they’re off and if you’re paying attention so if it’s cheating it runs the chance of being detected.

I can anecdotally confirm this. I took MDMA under pretty normal party circumstances and honestly it was life changing. I've found it easier to be friendly, talkative, relaxed, and positive, even weeks later. I'm interested to see how long these effects last. My intrusive thoughts have been lowered and my overall outlook is more positive.

I don't have PTSD, but I do have depression, anxiety, and unofficially, I probably lie on the autism spectrum.

Can I prove anything with my sample size of one with plenty of confounding variables? Of course not. But does it make me personally believe the studies that have indicated it can be a good treatment for mental disorders are valuable and true? Absolutely.

I strongly believe that safe, controlled administration of pure, clean MDMA is something every adult should have the opportunity to legally try, especially in cases where evidence supports benefit to a psychological condition. And more research should happen. The mindset of "all drugs are heroin" has got to go.

I'm not advocating people taking pills they bought on the street, but I do support legalising of drugs that, when pure and controlled in dose like pharmaceutical medicine, don't cause a significant number of deaths or violence - such as MDMA and marijuana.

I strongly support destigmatization of drugs and more research, and the breakdown of the black and white border of "the government decides which drugs are good and which drugs are evil and everything else is for violent crackheads."

Small perturbations in the velocity field are totally fine even if they are not divergence-free.

Polymer is one of the worst offenders when it comes to treating backwards compat seriously, worse than Angular even. We're testing frameworks on projects internally to get an idea, Polymer is going through the third full rewrite.

That also speaks volumes about its approach, it just doesn't know what it wants. It's again based on weak, string-typed templates and is designed imperatively. After React, there's no time for this stuff anymore.

Since their heyday the 1980s, distributed operating systems---spanning multiple autonomous machines, yet appearing to the user as a single machine---have seen only moderate academic interest. This is a little surprising, since modern data centers might present an appealing environment for their deployment. In this position paper, we discuss what has changed since the community lost interest in them, and why, nonetheless, distributed OSes have yet to be considered for data centers. Finally, we argue that the distributed OS concept is worth a revisit, and outline the benefits to be had from it in the context of the modern data center.
People are scared. A few companies have the power to censor and promote what we see and do not see. This is a tremendous power and we all want the companies entrusted with this power to do so morally and consistently. Pointing out that other social networks are behaving badly as well does not address the fear that people feel.

One gets the sense that many people working at places like YouTube really are living in a bubble and are totally oblivious to the intensity of the fear that people feel about their power to censor and promote. I sincerely hope that this changes. It would be horrible for everyone if government had to step in to regulate this medium.

In some situations some may bounce back but their predators not, creating wild imbalances. As a nearby example, red deer, roe deer and wild boar populations grow uncontrolled and they thoroughly destroy everything that's below 1.5-2m, provoking cascading ecosystem effects that endangers some local forests.

Poachers kill protected predators such as L. Lynx purely out of pride†, and as soon as wolves come anywhere near possibly even remotely like rumoured to be coming around people go up in arms OMG-please-people-think-of-the-children-and-sheep-we-have-to-obliterate-the-thing-out-of-existence.

† Lynx can kill comparatively sizeable prey (up to 5x their weight!), so they typically leave the carcass in place and come back some days later, so all the poachers have to do is spot a carcass in the woods, stay downwind, gun down the poor unsuspecting fella from a distance, and brag about their awsum top-of-the-food-chain I'm-a-super-predator-killing-a-definitely-terrifying-predator†† leet skillz.

> Why has Hacker News become such a hotbed for cynicism, ridicule and snark by which almost none comes constructive ideas?

Why would you build a text editor on top of a web browser engine? Who would think that is a good idea?. Of course it is not going to be performant, it is being used for something it was not designed for. On top of that, cross-platform apps built using the one stack are horrible. They never feel exactly like native apps.

If this was 20 years ago, atom would be built with java using swing. It would be just as slow and just as un-native. Java apps on the desktop are ridiculed for a reason. The only difference is that now they are using 'trendy' things.

I think blind Freddy could tell you that, yes you can build a text editor on top of a web browser, but performance, and usability will suck. That is why everyone is so cynical, because it is so obvious.
> Let's try to flip the perspectives. Let's say you created a game. Let's pretend you want to make money off of it

I wouldn't have gone that far because I'm smart enough to tell that making money with a game is pretty damn hard (and it has nothing to do with piracy).

But if I had done stupid anyway, I would blame myself.

I could "want to make money" off of my turd too, and put hard effort into it, that doesn't mean I'm entitled to success.
Whenever you can, use cash instead of credit card. Records of who buy what are more widely spread than I’m comfortable with. Also, there is a large risk that cash will be removed in the next one or two decades and then all semblance of privacy re what we buy will be gone.
