I don't think members of the American underclass are genetically less intelligent. I think the implication that if we could just manipulate the genes of the poor then the wouldn't be poor anymore ignores a million non-biological reasons why poverty perpetuates itself along family lines.
It's not onetime CPU costs, at least for Google. Netflix and amazon don't process that much video (relatively), so they can afford slow encode times, but youtube gets tons of video uploaded every minute, they want fast and cheap encoding.

Fertility being affected in trans men and trans women isn't a surprise. I'm curious though -- do you, as a trans woman, still intend to "father" a child? Do trans men still intend to become pregnant when it is the most female thing a person could do?

Why might a loss of fertility particularly matter to a trans person?
"Bricked" is much too strong a word. Just pick the older kernel in the boot menu and you're fine. This is inaccurate blogspam for https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/meltdown-and-... which itself is a summary of several other threads.
Well, to be clear, this was done during the height of Microsoft's "Scroogled" campaign. This was an intended to be very visible way to claim to be better at respecting privacy than Google.

I would agree that Microsoft is much better at respecting privacy than Google, though this change was poorly considered and led to a bad result (i.e. DNT failing as a marker of explicit user intent).

I probably have a much more favorable view of Microsoft than the average here, and my comment history contains a storied history of me pointing out how Google has cast anticompetitive and profit-motivated decisions as "good for users". ;)

The trouble with most software patents is that they don't represent technology invented by companies with the purpose of selling that technology. They are made by companies doing some other business, and to put road-blocks in front of potential competitors.

Admittedly this is less true for encoding patents, some of which are held by research-oriented organisations that then charge royalties to the companies which deploy the tech.

I work in a IT department of Construction Company. Most people are project managers / directors / accountants / administrators. Since they dress formally, our IT department follows the formal dress code too. However, I'm not so keen on it and would love to wear something casual. What do you guys wear to work?

I agree that there won't always be new jobs for those that are lost. There is some hope that the truck drivers can become mechanics and robot repair persons even if they can't learn coding. There is also a hugely underfunded part of our society that a lot of jobs will have to become in the future (imo) around elder care. Basically, low skilled people whose job it is to help other people, likely paid for by the government.
What's your source on that? Apple's message¹ said

> Apple is reducing the price of an out-of-warranty iPhone battery replacement by $50 — from $79 to $29 — for anyone with an iPhone 6 or later whose battery needs to be replaced, available worldwide through December 2018.

The "whose battery needs to be replaced" sure implies they're still going to actually test it.

> Nobody is claiming the labor market will be destroyed.

Well, let me claim it then. The labor market will eventually be destroyed. That's the end goal of automation and it is an achievable goal. It's very likely decades away what makes it both too far to be an emergency and too near to ignore.
Not to mention that arguing for funding something by defunding an unrelated service only serves to complicate the debate. Modern US govt spending does not need to be balanced, the US govt has shown the ability to run insanely high deficits without US bonds being significantly downgraded.

If the argument was that the US can afford UBI because we can afford the military then that's more reasonable (although not quite correct as you pointed out).

Is this really news worthy of a top spot on Hacker News?
This is basically what happened to P3P, an earlier attempt to regulate privacy rules with a machine-readable policy. Microsoft set IE to reject cookies by default if a site didn't have 1) a P3P header that 2) met certain requirements. It wasn't very well thought out and, in practice, required a bunch of sites to create a bogus P3P header or core functionality like "logging in" was broken for many IE users.

Too many crypto miners?
Thanks for expanding. That's interesting. So they disabled http-01 over TLS [0]. Two questions:

1. Isn't the default virtual host practice still a problem even without TLS/SNI? Apache chooses a default virtual host on port 80 in the same way. Is that "acceptable" simply because it's more common for the default port 80 virtual host to be controlled by the hosting provider? That's not as robust as one would hope.

2. Wouldn't http-01 over TLS be made safe if the certificate was required to be valid for the domain being challenged? Granted, there's a TLS chicken and egg problem there, but that's beside the point.

The hackers still have their assets as Ethereum Classic. The fact that ETC lives on is a testament to how nobody could 'take away' what is listed as theirs on the blockchain.

But I don't buy this argument for video games. Most of the game code ought to live outside of the blockchain and that non-blockchain code/art would be difficult to reproduce let alone subject to copyright claims or closed source.

Another random video game thought: Would item storage on blockchain mean that every player could see the inventory of every other player?

Decrying the lack of education of laborers is a bit of a red herring. The Industrial Revolution led to both a rise in standard of living for commoners and education reform (ie expansion of education) .

Off the top of my head, the average education level for women in Lincoln's era was 2nd to 4th grade. They were destined to be homemakers. The world did not think that needed an education. Lincoln's wife had a 12th grade education. She was considered headstrong and difficult. Her own child had her committed to an asylum, iirc. My opinion is that basically her high education caused de facto aberrant behavior for a woman. She had crazy ideas like wanting to make decisions for herself and her era did not tolerate this well.

Now, a woman who drops out of high school is viewed as an uneducated loser who failed to do the minimum. Twelfth grade is considered bare minimum acceptable for a functioning adult in the US today. That expectation apparently grows out of the evils of automation of the Industrial Revolution "taking" jobs. Keep in mind the US school schedule provides spring break for a week and summers off because historically even children were expected -- aka needed -- for planting crops in the spring and tending crops during the summer.

Yes, we need to design good policies that help effectively distribute this new wealth across the population. That kind of goes without saying in my eyes. It is an unprecedented level of wealth. Of course it means we are in new territory requiring new policies.

That does not mean it needs to be framed as a doomsday scenario. Hopefully folks will be proactive about this rather than reactive. Waiting until the peasants are revolting to conclude that maybe your policies are wrong, broken and stupid is the unnecessarily hard path forward.

Even if you could find them all and make automatic determinations as to whether or not they facilitate the vulnerability. (You really can't automate that as you need to be a customer of the host to really attempt to pull off the exploit.)

Even if... You would only know for the set of web hosts for the time period you checked each one.

None of that has anything to do with the failure of cryptocurrency in general.

> However, people tend to move towards communities of their same 'status'

This makes no sense. A smart but poor kid does not have the option to move to a rich suburb with excellent schools.

> so if you have a really smart kid you aren't nearly as likely to find that kid still in the trailer park when they are 30 as one of their more average peers.

1. But, you're just as likely to encounter that extra bright kid smoking pot in a trailer home in 20 years. Poverty is a hell of a burden and barrier. Intelligence can help you stay out of poverty, but it's far less powerful when you want to get out of poverty. And can even function as a disadvantage.

2. Furthermore, lots of dumb but rich kids will go on to six figure incomes for the rest of their lives.

Intelligence isn't as strong a determinant as you claim, in either direction.

This is fantastic. When I lived in one of the southern states of India—where water scarcity is a real problem—the government made it mandatory to have rainwater harvesting systems installed in all government and residential buildings. This happened in the year 2001. Since they didn't follow the incentive model like in Tuscon, there was some resistance initially. However, it took off—albeit grudgingly—and a plethora of 10 and 15 year studies proved that the scheme singularly altered the water table in most parts of the state avoiding potential droughts.

I don't understand why any region that faces water scarcity doesn't simply make it a necessity.
Ya I do periodically spend time in intellij when I work with scala, just because of the discovery and refactoring capabilities. Particularly very large/involved refactoring is helped by the tools. I did a core redesign to support an entirely new use case in a product I'm working on now. I tried to do it by hand and burnt a day, threw away everything, opened intellij, and applied a couple refactoring. In 40 minutes I had the tests passing for what was a very broad and wide refactor.

Well, yeah, that's why I would be pirating. All my music is currently in various formats, as they were bought from various outlets, my process would involve acquiring new files that don't have any restrictions on playback, hopefully all close to the same quality and bitrate.

As I'm certainly not going to repurchase it all in CD form and rip them, which is currently how the labels seem to think is the only way you should be allowed to keep such an archive, I'm just going to pirate it.
Yes, because we are all snickering about the irony.
Is that same level of tax levied on heating oil? If so, that bolsters the case that it's a carbon tax. If, as in the US, heating oil is untaxed or is taxed at a fractional rate of automotive fuels, that suggests that it's a road tax and not a carbon tax.

This chart suggests that it's the latter (substantially a road tax more than a carbon tax): https://www.gov.uk/guidance/fuel-duty#rates
People want Do Not Track, but also hate paywalls and irrelevant ads.
The difficulty is the comparative security posture.

The HTTP-01 and DNS-01 challenges really don't require the web hosts to get their $h1t together to improve security. (Technically, HTTP-01 could for some attack scenarios, but that would still be more difficult than this TLS-SNI-01 attack.) The TLS-SNI-01 mechanism does. Maybe it's the method that's deficient, rather than the web host.

(In truth both are, but one of those can be fixed timely, albeit with a bullet.)

The last time I used Ubuntu, they hadn't yet realized what vertical display synchronization is, and nobody had explained to them that you don't do your rendering on the framebuffer you're currently scanning out. So an occasional boot of the recovery kernel truly vanishes behind the plain broken display they expect you to put up with.

I don't have conda installed on my mac so I tried for a bit to get this working in a docker file based on continuumio/anaconda3.

Well, a labor strike is almost never entirely legal. They're always going to be breaking various civil infractions, if not actually trespassing. But also such things can be tinderboxes just waiting for the right spark to turn violent. A violent strike is certainly terrorism.
> implies anything that encompasses cars.

No, I believe that they're talking about the ubiquitous need of a car for any given task. It would be nice if areas were designed such that a vehicle wasn't required to do more or less anything, be it restaurants, entertainment, general shopping, etc.

I'm not really sure what you mean by "We shouldn't therefore apply some aspects of cars to the broad meaning of car culture." It sounds like simply semantics at this point, that is, you infer a different meaning of "car culture" than the OP presents, but I don't feel that detracts from the point about the constructed necessity of cars.

Fair point, the corruption and incompetence I'm that plagues public works in places like NY is truly astonishing. However I think you and OP are talking about a different kind of support.

I love it, a small project space manager.

But what does it use for storage? Do you have a backend or is it all browser storage? I assume backend since Firefox never prompted me about using browser storage.

If you consider it a "vanity project", you're done looking for a "driving force": a vanity project is, by definition, driven by a vain attempt to elevate one's attractiveness.

It also seems that your logic would allow attacking any project that is generally perceived positively: "Yes, they are doing something good. But they're motivated by the sinister motive to be liked, and therefore the project is bad".

That, quite obviously, follows the hollow logic of "virtue signalling", a cynical attempt to discount everyone publicly lobbying for something they perceive as a moral good, not by engaging with their argument, but by implicitly accepting it and going for the ad hominem instead.
