You'd have teams in "pits" monitoring their vehicles live. Those reactions will be raw and humanistic.

When the vehicle comes in for a "pit stop," the team--in addition to doing mechanical maintenance--could be allowed to tweak the code, e.g. based on strategic observations of other cars' behaviours. To keep it interesting, one could mandate--to make up for the electronics in the car--all "pit stop" labor be completely manual. (Any code changes could be taken onto the track on an unpowered drive.)
But the jogging routes were shared beyond any circle of "friends." It got shared with potential adversaries. Clear privacy fail by Strava.

I don't get the justification for labeling the initial block as organic growth, unless they're claiming that only the horizontal stratification is signs of bot activity. The vertical stratification should also be signs of bot activity, and as they point out, many of the supposed bots were in the vertical stratification groups.

For those not familiar with the graphs, the graph shows date followed on x and date created on y. Where there's horizontal stratification, NYT noticed it means the follower accounts that all began following the account at the same time were also created around the same time, indicating a strain of bots. However, when there's vertical stratification, there's a shift in the rate at which accounts are following the account. When the vertical stratification is followed by horizontal stratification, it's an indication that both sets are bots - for example, one scenario is that instead of providing a mix of bots created at different time, someone got lazy and just grabbed a list of bots all created at the same time. However, vertical stratification could also just indicate that the person did something good or bad to change the rate of acquiring new followers so it isn't clear cut. That being said, I'm not sure that justifies labeling the initial section which lacks horizontal stratification as organic.
I guess you meant "staff", not "stuff".

Browser based access is absolutely possible. Not only that it exists.

It has 2 forms:
If you want a read-only version of the network there are a couple servers that do that. It's useful for showing people who aren't on ssb interesting conversations.

If you want to actually interact with the network that's possible too but there are... limitations / issues.

There are 2 aspects to this.

1) it's a distributed network. So, either you need to stick a client in the cloud with a web interface (Patchfoo [1] is just such a client, but the interface is.... meh) OR you need to run the entire client in your browser, and the problem with that is where do you store the data? You're going to quickly exceed the max of local store (i forget what that is but if you start following lots of people and they post photos you're going to exceed it).

2) You can't afford to loose your private key. SSB uses Public Key Encryption and as such if you loose your key you can no longer prove that you're you so you become disconnected from all your prior posts and people following the old you no longer get updates from "you" because "you" can't post as the old you anymore.

If you use multiple browsers then how would you sync the keys between them?

Also, SSB uses a blockchain for each user. If you have the same keys on multiple computers and one computer posts before it's synced up with the last post from the other computer then you've just forked your chain and it screws up everyone who's following you because you don't know which version of the chain each follower has ended up on.

In certain places it can be hard to find bike parking, especially if there are few to no racks and you have to lock to fences, parking meters, signs etc. However, if the bike shares are frequently being used then I don't see a reason why they can't use the same locking infrastructure as private bikes. If they are largely sitting unused and occupying the space semi-permanently then I would have an issue.

However, most cars sit idle much of the time occupying much more limited car parking space on the sides of roads and rarely does anyone complain. In fact, they insist it is a right to use up the public space to park their private car.

I just went through the pain of switching to a new IP for my mail server a few months ago.

All major providers except Google were putting my messages in the spam folder by default despite me getting myself whitelisted in DNSWL and having proper FcRDNS, SPF, DKIM and DMARC configuration.

The IP was not in any reputable public blacklists, and the domain had been in use for many years.
The not for profit part and the fact that this entity won't be owned by any of the companies outright provides an interesting path to a single-payer system.

1. Amazon, Berksire, JP Morgan and others create a large "payer" of healthcare.

2. There are no shareholders or other parties interested in making a profit off of this payer because it is a cost center for the big (or small) companies using it.

3. Wait for the current iteration of the Republican party to lose influence and single-payer to gain more traction politically.

4. When politicians are looking for a way to create a single-payer system, Amazon and friends offer to hand over their large payer to join Medicare, Medicaid and VA systems to form one large government payer, effectively nationalizing the healthcare for Amazon and co.

Oh, nice, finally someone implemented something like Mercurial revsets for git:

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/help/revsets

I've been hoping that even if nobody ever uses Mercurial, I was hoping at least they would manage to implement some of its better ideas for git.
There is no universal metric for security.

What I will say is that Edge and Firefox are doing an excellent job - I'm really impressed. Chrome is still the safest browser today, in my opinion.

Site isolation, which was released recently, is a really great example of how far ahead they are - site isolation is at least 3, maybe 4 years in the making. That's serious work.

They have had an excellent bounty program. They have project 0 doing advanced offensive research, much of which has been relevant to browsers.

They fuzz a ton and have managed to solicit others to do the same (not that other browsers don't/ haven't).

Their sandbox is incredible and constantly evolving. They basically invented seccomp v2 just to improve their sandboxing stature on linux. They implemented 'forceaslr' before EMET was even a thing to help prevent info leaks from third party libs.

Their new kernel32.dll unloading mitigation is awesome, and as far as I know the first instance of such a thing.

I could really go on and on, I'm sure - they have taken incredible proactive measures and they're just getting better at it.

We can see similar growth in Edge, which has had a sandbox for years. Firefox has more recently gotten a sandbox and the move to rust is encouraging.

But... yeah, in my opinion, Chrome takes the cake.

That is basically what the bike docks are, most of them (at least in the East Bay) have replaced a few adjacent spots. You could simply distribute more frequent smaller racks. People believe parking is a right and anything that removes it is the end of the world so there is constant pushback.

It seems like nobody at Facebook is allowed to play the long game.

In the long game, quality wins. In the long game, an organization that puts quality of information at top priority persists and becomes a long-lived resource for civilization.

Like Google has become a persistent Web search resource, setting aside its short-lived ancillary forays into more clickable, trivial services.

So long as Facebook prioritizes viral clickbait, so long will it be in danger of collapse, irrelevance, and extinction. That's ok with me.
I agree that the euphemism treadmill is incredibly annoying, and I wish people in general would abstain from making outrage their default response, but... look, something like "idiotic" would have worked just as well in your original comment, and I doubt anyone would have complained. Even if "retarded" doesn't personally offend you (or me, to be honest), it does offend a bunch of people, and even if just for the sake of having a discussion in public about the actual article without having this useless OT digression, why not just use a less controversial word? If you honestly weren't aware that "retarded" is considered offensive now, ok, that's fine, but just accept it and please remember for next time.

To dive more down this rabbit hole, the distinction is that we associate something like "idiot" with an incompetent person who has arrived at their incompetence through their own actions. "Retarded" refers to someone who is developmentally disabled, usually through no fault of their own. So using "retarded" in a derogatory sense -- even when not talking about a person -- is viewed as effectively pushing the idea that developmentally disabled people are to be looked down on. But we, as a culture, are fine with looking down on "idiots", at least for now, so there's no problem using "idiot" in that way.

I'm not looking for an argument here about the merits of all of this. I don't particularly care about the merits or your (or my!) opinion of them. That's just how these words are viewed today by enough people to influence social norms. If you don't care about offending people, that's your prerogative, but for the sake of community discussion here on HN, it's better if we try to avoid these sorts of things. Let's try to keep the SN ratio high.
I travel to China frequently. You don’t think too much about how often you use various Google services until you land in a place where they just don’t work. For me, it’s like the internet is completely broken. For the locals, no big deal because they haven’t had the ability to become reliant on Google. Instead they are hooked on services such as WeChat which is much, much more than chat.

PnP doesn't make sense for a hobbyist though, that's the problem. A PnP is a tool for someone making a hundred or more of the exact same design, not something you usually do unless you're selling something. It's not worth the considerable time required to set up feed reels and all the other stuff required for a PnP if you're only making a few boards.

There are open source PnP designs though:

I'd read this article for irony only. It's written by Rob Enderle, the Area 51 of Tech Reporting.

I want as much as anybody to believe that the DPRK and its people deserve what is being considered for it, because it will ease my conscience a little bit that I tolerated the people who seem to want to help agentically propagate the same old half-baked self-inconsistent nation-caricatures that carry with them the implicit justifications for yet another war with a country from the warmonger's wishlist to be inflicted by a state that has the world's largest prison population (the second largest per capita), a criminal justice system where your income determines your survival and a truly appalling human rights record.

I will restate my points and elaborate upon them for clarity, because they seem to have been missed.

1. Most DPR Koreans have not defected (I count ~4 the past year)

2. Defectors are self-selected.

3. It is likely that the vast majority of attempted defections fail, resulting in repercussions from the state. Even if this were the case, we have an upper bound of 200,000. Approaching this upper bound assumes nobody is imprisoned for anything other than defection, which would be absurd.

4. It is highly unlikely that the successful defectors are representative of the general population of that country.

Many of the comments on this article seem to accept the people are brainwashed, indoctrinated, completely controlled by propaganda. It seems unlikely that the same people are also consumed by a desire to be free and to defect and living in misery as a result.

So my point is this: even if we could extract the memories and experiences directly from these defectors heads and watch them on a projector, they are likely to be so unrepresentative of the experience that you would have living there, having been brought up with the norms and customs of that country, as to be worthless.

The fact that many have been paid for their testimonies, and those testimonies have failed to be consistent with other testimonies is really a tool to help those who still see merit in statistically meaningless testimonies to recognise that they are also likely to be influenced by the monetary offers for a satisfactory testimony.

I'm not saying that atrocities are not happening. I suspect they are, as they are in many countries. But I also know that some of the more ridiculous stories that have been pumped out by propagandists are being regurgitated by reputable news sources. We've seen this before. The truth doesn't come out, it gets buried in the chaos.
That's not IP spoofing, which actually has a well-defined meaning (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address_spoofing). Using a VPN for this purpose is merely proxying your traffic through a third party who has promised not to tell the server on the other end who or where you are.

Well, stdout isn't a debug channel; you might want to debug a program that actually uses stdout for its output, not for debug chatter.

Never mind that though, we can take some other descriptor, like 3, and bind it to, say /dev/null.

What are the gdb commands to have whatever is going to file descriptor 3 be shown inside gdb?

I really do not care how it's implemented. However, "tightly integrated" is better than "flimsy hack"; "consumes breakpoints" is better than "doesn't consume breakpoints".

Huh, you must have different experience with jobs. In my experience it's more like "do this" and you say "ok".
Agreed. This is certainly something, maybe even something interesting. But it's not beating the "game". Hell, it's not even playing the game.
Yes, actually I've looked over all the shells on that wiki page. I think most of them haven't taken off because they either their host language has been poor or unpopular, their design or implementation wasn't great, or they haven't really solved the right problem. I think the idea of embedding a shell into a general-purpose language still has a lot of merit. Most of those projects trying to embed a shell DSL into a general-purpose language, scsh included, are basically for programming and not interactive use. Shells that are only interactive or only for programming end up fulfilling less than half of the purpose of shell, in my view, because the interaction and scripting feed back into each other in a virtuous cycle. The only ones on that list aside from Rash that try to be embedded in a general-purpose language while being good at both interactions and programming are Xonsh and eshell. Xonsh is pretty new (I wasn't aware of it until after I had made Rash), and eshell is in Emacs Lisp (which is not a very good programming language or platform to build on for anything except extending the emacs editor).

Rash also tries to be better than the competition by adding object pipelines (much like Powershell, it makes it much more reasonable to make system administration commands in the host language, and have rich interaction and inspection of command results), user-defineable pipeline operators, and generally tighter integration with the host language while still having a light syntax for basic commands.

I would like to be able to have my command language tightly integrated with my programming language, and be able to define my system administration commands (and interactive shell plugins and completion) as functions in the host language (while still being able to naturally use external programs). And I would like my shell scripts to be able to grow and potentially even turn into full-fledged programs, or modules of some larger program. I think there are a lot of benefits to the approach I'm using (which would be too long for a comment here).

That said, I'm not holding my breath for it to catch on widely any more than I'm holding my breath for Racket to take off as a popular programming language (although I frankly wouldn't mind either one). I think a better Posix shell is certainly a noble effort, because whatever better shell does become popular, we certainly need one. And an automatic upgrade path for existing scripts sounds great. So I salute you and wish you good luck with it. Also, as someone looking at shells and their features to copy the best ones, your wiki is a great resource. So thanks.

'But Mr. Krug, at Pantera Capital, said that if Tether were really being used by investors, they would probably also want to buy new Tether when the markets were going up, which has not been the case. Also, they would not always want it in exact increments of $100 million, as has been the case.

“After you see this enough times, you just start to wonder what’s really going on here,” Mr. Krug said.'

I'd listen to the folks at Pantera, they are pretty sharp.
As a hobbyist, I'd like one. You could do projects using hundreds or thousands of devices that are -at the moment- out of reach not for reasons of price, but rather because it would take too long to assemble the devices in question. For instance, tagging and tracking wild animals, or getting really granular local climate data. Electronics just gets more interesting the more it moves away from the monolithic device approach, for me.

Let me do away with the word "strawman"--perhaps I have misused the word here.

My point is that noobermin suggests that there are only two "bundles of rights" that we may give to organisms: those that we have traditionally given to humans and to non-human animals. Noobermin says that we must "draw a line" between organisms that we may exploit and organisms that we must regard as human-like. (That traditionally we have indeed used nothing more nuanced than a binary distinction is not important: we are talking about possible, not actual, ethical frameworks.)

This is wrong in principle because you can choose to assign individual rights on an individual basis. E.g., in one system of animal rights, I might say that everything with at least as much capacity to feel pain as a crustacean must be put under anesthesia before any surgical operations are performed on it, but I might also say that any animal with the ability to use tools may not be raised and killed for food. What's important here is not the particulars of my hypothetical animal rights framework. It's just that different animals would have different rights: chimpanzees and pigs would both not be permitted to be operated on without anesthesia, but pigs (and not chimpanzees) would be allowed to be eaten. Thus if we accept that you can make graded decisions in how you assign animals rights, you are not put on the slippery slope that ultimately claims you are committing genocide every time you use soap.
