No, I'm just saying that art is not made to be hanged in the walls and maximise good feelings but is sold to be used like that. And only a subset of artworks are suitable to be sold as original decoration.

I'm not a seller but I believe is way easier to sell something with a clear function than the opposite.
I volunteered for my town Planning Commission last year and have to deal with this all the time now. Residents are constantly ranting on social media accusing us of moving town borders, down-zoning our enemies, holding secret votes, and cutting deals. In reality, the only thing we did last year was approve a swimming pool and do some research on parking.

It's extremely stressful for me as an introvert, but I quietly and patiently explain concepts like due process and open-hearings when I have the opportunity. I stress that everything we do is open to public scrutiny and public comment. I explain that we can't engage on Facebook because it's not an official public forum. I invite people to attend our meetings or read our meeting minutes, but they never do.

Real government is incredibly boring and complicated. Its much more fun to rant and rave about conspiracies on social media.
The reason I prefer vue/vuex over react/redux is that I can mutate my days structures instead of pretending JS supports immutable data structures .

I don't like it either.

I also don't like that "literally" now means "figuratively", or using the plural "their" to mean "him or her".

But we don't get to dictate how language is used.

How language is used dictates what is acceptable.

So get over it, Schneier, language is alive.
Salt and sugar (or corn syrup) confuse the tongue and keep it "addicted".

I have removed both (added) salt & sugar from my cooking for a year now and I am finally at a stage where I can actually taste all the ingredients in the food.

Someone else was making a comment about freshness of tomatoes. There isn't any :) Now add to that 0.5 spoons of salt and 1 spoon of sugar and you taste nothing at all. This way "they" can make you consume the most bland ingredients and you won't even notice it.
I have been both: the non note taker and the excessively detailed note taker.

I would say note taking a skill, and one that's honed through years. It's not something you only learn when you start college and there is an art to it.

What a lot of people do is similar to what the page tells you not to do - people would highlight everything, or write everything. This is very bad, because the best place to learn is in class, and by doing this, you reduce the class to a textbook.

I think the best thing to do is write a glossary or write down definitions. You'll notice the class repeating a few concepts several times. This is when it should be noted, or when a concept is too big or contains too much jargon to understand.
FTFY: a shitty government is putting people in jail.

Even if we ignore the horrible government and bullshit reasons why they're considering installing an encrypted chat app a "crime", they should at least use proper evidence for the convictions, like a dump of the phone's memory with the chat app installed on it, and not a simple DNS lookup/HTTP request to the chat app's domain.

Yup, we are working on building a separate version for the new release of Firefox.
I get what you're saying, though I've found that handling the emotional part of a discussion first makes the "rational" stuff way easier.

One thing to keep in mind is that many people out there have mental disorders (treated and untreated) that make it difficult on a chemical level to control these things. For example, ADHD destroys inhibition (causing the classic "speak before you think" behavior) on a deep level that's hard to work out even after a lot of training.

The way I see it is that emotional appeals serve first to level the playing field for this kind of state of mind, so that the rational discussion can happen. The Jobsian Reality Distortion Field is a thing, but for the most part I think it's about complementing the rational discussion.

Do you have any example of him taking it too far? I don't disagree, I'm just curious.
No, not in this case. These are machines for train tickets, to places outside the oyster zone. London Bridge is a mainline station, so for most destinations it serves you will need a ticket.
They do order up a custom SoC package that then is actually manufactured by TSMC or Samsung - but do you think they would have to cut the price of their phones if they had to use the standard chips that Samsung, HTC etc use?

I'd say no, they could charge nearly the same. Which means the complicated hardware is not the differentiator "killer app", the marketing around the custom OS and the ecosystem is.

(Which is also why they don't sell iOS or macOS to other hardware firms - the hardware is good, but the software is the USP.)
Actually, there's nothing that difficult about painting after the first one or two jobs anyone with half a brain can figure it out. "Painter" is the #1 job role for alcoholics. Every paint can opener is also a bottle opener.
Good point, now that you mention it I remember that. Trouble is also that the NOS has to dumb it down and ignore details though.
Because they stink, and it's very unpleasant for people in the carriage sitting near the toilet if the door is open.
>I mean, it's preference. I'm from Italy and no matter what you might say or have heard, black people up north and central Italy are not that smart in general, often wearing jeans and hoodies and not taking good care of the way they look. They're also not that friendly, and as coworkers, employees and in particular bosses are a pain in the ass.

White people you might find abroad or in major cities are usually smart, take care of themselves, and are friendly. I worked with a white person for a few years and lived in Miami for 3 years

Turkish, Albanian, Romanian black people--for instance--are definitely less intelligent than other places I've been.

As for Poland, they always look very smart, and are generally friendly. I'm currently working with a black person from Poland for 3 years.

Of course, we're generalizing and I'm talking from my very limited experience, there are smart black people everywhere (or stupid, for that matter), people's taste is different, etc. etc. I know that here when you go anywhere it's hard to find one I wouldn't work with if I didn't have a job!

I no longer trust snopes as I used to.

I got my info from a guy who's job is working in the seed industry confirms they do actually douse the field in glysophates (is round up the only brand? not sure)

Also, if you look into Passover flour, Rabbis will insist on this procedure for their flour to ensure their is no moisture in the wheat before harvest.

Do some more digging instead of just snopes, I suspect they are no longer completely unbiased.

Edit: I am going to ask my friend for any evidence he can provide, or where I can find it, in regards to this issue.
I find it very frustrating to read about such oppressive regimes. It fills me with anger, I cannot help myself, I just hate injustice.
The problem isn't that simple. Most mainstream news, including CNN, have traded in objective reporting for idealogical dissemination. You can very often, legitimately call CNN "not credible". Just in the last couple years they have:

1. Told their viewers that it was illegal to read the DNC emails leaked to Wikileaks themselves, and to just listen to what CNN has to say about them.

2. Got caught posing one of their cameramen as a protester/rioter for an interview about why he was "in the streets".

3. Deceptively edited a video of Trump dumping fish food into a koi pond to omit the fact that he was following the Japanese PM's lead, then spent a whole day talking about how disrespectful it was.

4. Spent a whole morning talking about how Trump drinks diet coke, while there was an active terrorist attack in NY.

That's just what I pulled off the top of my head, too.

Edit: to the user that downvoted my comment: which of the four bullet points was false? It's easy to protect the liars who benefit our goals. It takes intellectual honesty to criticize one's allies.
No, it was a single line of code. We should ban codes like this.
server-lite?
What bothers me with this blockchain is, who will actually run the nodes? If only the merchants do so, then they can also counterfeit everything just as they want. In the end you rely as much on your trust to the merchant than with the classical method (i.e., a tag that reads "Product of [country]", which is way more eco[nom/log]ical.
That is called Peto's paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peto%27s_paradox. Afaik the idea that larger animals have more robust tumor suppression systems is an assumption required due to a possibly incorrect understanding of the stem cell division scheme:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25459141

If you look close enough at this topic you will realize that we don't have good data on how many divisions are actually happening in each tissue. Our understanding is very rudimentary so it is extremely dangerous to take anything as fact on this topic. As a science, cancer research is not even yet at the point of astronomy when people began estimating the number of stars...

It is in a pre-astrology stage where all sorts of wild speculations and fads reign supreme.

EDIT:

Note that in the Morris 2014 paper I linked he calls Peto's paradox the "man-mouse paradox" and uses 'Peto's paradox' to mean something else.
I think this is dead on. I think at Microsoft that guy was Dave Cutler. Most of the really well designed stuff seems to have him at the helm - NT4.0, bits of XP, Win2k, Windows Server 2003 and then Azure.

I have a suspicion that Satya's rise to CEOdom via Azure's success could be attributed to him too.
The code in question had nothing to do with it. Once you're putting people in jail for network activity on the same wifi network, it's way beyond pretending you were just confused by an iframe.

There are a ton of subjects I'd love to read up on that are more interesting than the classes I am taking now, so I would likely pour a significant amount of time into studying.

Other than that, I would unwind. I want to visit a few museums and restaurants, maybe meet new people.
How does low gravity affect vision?
This article is bizarre.

High-end art prices aren't "manipulated" in some kind of nefarious way, they're just highly illiquid and complicated. The article makes it sound like there's collusion or price-fixing between galleries, but there's no evidence of that.

The author makes the argument that more transparency would lead to lower prices... yet simultaneously implies prices are lower than they ought to be: "One of the worst things a dealer can do is over-price a work because they can’t lower the price when it doesn’t sell."

And anyways, I find myself sympathizing far more with artists than with the rich buyers here -- making a living as an artist is already hard enough! Why would we want to lower what they can make? And for buyers who want less expensive art, there's tons -- just don't shop at Gagosian!

Finally, the article seems to imply that art is subjectively bad now ("rape of dismembered corpses"), but that lowering prices would help fix that. That doesn't follow at all, and modern art on the vanguard is always considered "bad" by the majority at its time -- whether Monet or Pollock.

For anyone interested in details of how the art world really works and why, I highly recommend "Seven Days in the Art World" by Sarah Thornton.
mine didn't crash yet, but the repeating of messages was kind of annoying.
Doubtful. Possibly a fix for an as-yet-undisclosed variant of the known attacks. Possibly mere ineptitude.
The history of an artistic work relies on its aesthetics though, surely?
Strange...the "bad" chat app is named Bylock, and downloading/installing it is apparently evidence that you are part of an treasonous political group. But the "single line" of code that the headline appears to refer to is code that causes you to access Bylock.net, kind of like an email image ping:

> Beşikçi said it was due to a single line of code, which created a window "one pixel high, one pixel wide" — essentially invisible to the human eye — to Bylock.net. Hypothetically, people could be accused of accessing the site without having knowingly viewed it.

This Bylock.net-accessing code was apparently packaged into other applications, causing people who weren't using the actual secretive chat app to be associated with the group:

> Akif Demir, a self-described conservative nationalist, wished the worst on people accused of using Bylock and being associated with the Gülenists. That is, until authorities said he was one of them...In October 2016, when his wife was pregnant with their first child, Demir was called into his principal's office. He wouldn't be allowed to work at the school — or anywhere else for that matter — anymore. He had been deemed a Bylock user.

The headline isn't inaccurate, but the main problem, or "bug", seems to be the government's hyper-willingness to throw people in jail for having accessed, even pinged, a forbidden server. And it wouldn't be surprising if this "bug" were being exploited by the purported outlaw group behind Bylock to mock the government's oppressive surveillance policies.

edit:

FWIW, previous coverage of "Bylock" focused on how the app itself was cracked in 2015:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/aug/03/turkey-co...

> Starting in May 2015, Turkey’s intelligence agency was able to identify close to 40,000 undercover Gülenist operatives, including 600 ranking military personnel, by mapping connections between ByLock users, the Turkish official said.

Visiting "bylock.net" currently yields an empty page:

According to WHOIS, bylock.net was created on 2017-11-01. But that seems too small of a timeframe for the trouble mentioned. Not sure how to use the Whois-history lookups, but Internet Archive pinged the server in 2016: http://web.archive.org/web/*/bylock.net

edit 2: Googling around for "bylock.net", it appears an IT company (Fox-IT) was asked by Turkish lawyers to analyze the government's methodology. They published a report on Sept 2017 basically saying the government's "argumentation is seriously flawed"

They could, and they often do (Android and ChromeOS effectively run forked kernels). At the end of the day though, they always wanna rebase against that sweet sweet mainline quality.
> Not everyone is on Steam.

They don't need to be. Steam is a serious player in games distribution, and if avoiding certain APIs is necessary to publish on Steam, that's what developers will do. (Or rather, it's what they will continue to do.)

Same for uPlay, Origin, and whatever it was that Rockstar made. No-one uses Microsoft's app-store for distributing retail games, and that isn't about to change, even if Microsoft hold their own technologies hostage.

Do you want to throw people in jail if they use code that is banned too?
Coming to a court with "unclean hands" won't help their case either. And showing bad faith can really crank up the damages awarded if it's a jury trial.

> Should you ask the person trying to sell you a pair of expensive progressive lenses?

probably not, but should you ask the person trying to sell you an app with mediocre reviews of efficacy (the placebo effect should cause ratings to be higher than a "true" rating).
I always thought storing e.g. a hash of the animal’s DNA on the blockchain would be neat. Testing would need to become faster, cheaper and more reliable, of course.

From what I've gathered the findings are based on real data.
As bad as this is, it does seem seem to be the status quo when it comes to forensic "science." I don't have any stats on hand, but it seems like more people are more worried about closing/winning cases than making sure they are not sending innocent people to jail.
I don’t like any of these things either. But if adding them made compilation take as long as Rust or Swift, I’d rather not have them personally.
You’re probably writing this from a country that drops bombs on people without first knowing who they are or why they are there, just that they appear to be male and over a certain height in an area of terrorist activity. No courts. No oversight. No accountability.

Is not catharsis a form of relaxation? :-)
In short, there is no objective way to value art, so galleries charge as much money as possible for the art.

The author of the article is somehow either confused or offended by this.
Doesn't cycle imply that it went down in between?
Occasionally when dealing with irrational people I have found it useful to match their energy level. So if they're yelling, you start raising your voice too. And you take whatever it is they're saying seriously. And if you have an objection, you state that objection. Then you continue the argument until the raised voices seem pointless and you both just calm down.

I had to learn this technique when I was living with friends that had undiagnosed and untreated personality disorders. Remaining calm while they're blowing up simply didn't work, and led them to think I was patronizing them. So I'd start making the same points I was trying to make to them, only with a raised voice. I would get completely invested in the argument, while remaining in full control of myself. Soon they would calm down.

It usually wound up being a cathartic experience for them. They'd break down after the whole thing was over, sometimes even cried. At first I thought I was doing God's work, but eventually I realized that that sort of thing just wasn't ever going to 'fix' them, and they needed treatment. For most of us, major cathartic events happen once a month to once a year and provide opportunities for permanent personality growth.

But when you have a personality disorder, no amount of catharsis will change your behavior, because your brain isn't wired the same way.

Can someone familiar with the situation explain how the employers know they used Bylock before the police raid?
Insecure defaults are always bad. The other way round would be the right choice. Let users downgrade their security for performance, if they insist.
Actually I'm quite close to Turkey (I'm from Serbia), though we're not yet that much oppressed.
And for anything more or less complex and optimised (e.g. Egalitarian Paxos), you'll not only end up with proving the correctness of the algorithm, but also the correctness of the implementation (which by themselves will hugely vary).

I see way more future in one's ability to write proofs of correctness in the comments before the function definition in any language; rather than preferring any specific language for the sake of proof.
Thanks for the detailed reply. Really clear.
And not just programming - all of computing really. Logic gates are composed into more complex ones that are composed into even more complex ones and so on upwards.
Exactly this. People are apparently being jailed for having accessed or simply pinged a forbidden IP/server -- which seemingly could be caused by receiving an email with a hidden img tag, or visiting a website with a hidden iframe.
Thanks gfiorav for the comments!

1. I think here I was going for 'death' more in terms of the end of the hype, rather than the approach!
2. Agreed. As people get more familiar with the patterns, tools and code and so on it does get easier. The point is more that it can be a hell of a journey :)
Show HN: Litetimer 1.0.2 – Simple, lightweight, Node.js command-line timer
I've used webpack for well over a year now, and while there is a lot to learn in webpack if you really wanted to write your own config or just learn for learning's sake, you really don't need to learn it to dabble. The thing that makes comments like these absurd is that you really need to learn almost nothing about webpack, grunt, gulp, broccoli, rollup, etc. Just to dabble. Almost all of the boilerplates and starter kits do this for you.
Wow I had no idea, that's pretty bad.
> I'm a little bit tempted to make a simple compile-to-go language. I'd get lynched at Go meetups for fragmenting the ecosystem, but it might be worth it.

I don't know about "might be worth it" part, and I don't think Go is success is because of it's concurrency model. Instead, I think Go wins because it can get thing done quickly, in one stop.

The concurrency model has been designed to help achieve that, and the huge battery pack came with the language is also for help achieve that.

I'm not discouraging you from design your language, though. In fact, I could be very happy to see a new language which can give me all the benefits that Go gives me and at same time just ... simply be a better language.

My ideal language (in my opinion) is a combination of Go and Rust: Big standard battery (Help me get things done and encourage to it's ecosystem)(&BTW, it don't have to be in the standard library), and fearless programming (Help me avoid mistakes).

Sadly Rust don't want to have a big battery for some reason :(
Thank God many of us live in countries where you are innocent until proven guilty, and not the other way around.
