Was there actually help to be had?
both suck and both should change, and China is worse, is the conclusion here, I think you'll agree
Yes. Using loglevels/priorities, facilities and identities in a sane way, your logs would already be classified.

Let's say there's a service failure and I want to know what the service has done prior to the failure. I wouldn't want a classifier to filter the logs in that case, so that use case is out of the picture. What other use cases than filtering are there for this? Maybe as a way to provide feedback to developers to fix the log messages, as in "this thing that we log all the time can be determined to never affect the process of trouble-shooting our services, and the classifier thinks it's noise, so we'll remove it".

I mean, I don't think they're dumb enough to put unencrypted data out on busses that you can just probe. All the encryption is done inside the same package as the CPU; if you read the RAM or flash directly, you'll just get garbage because it's encrypted.

https://www.arm.com/products/security-on-arm/trustzone is the generic version of this, no idea what exactly Apple is doing.

Anyway, to break the encryption involves finding bugs in the software that runs in the secure zone (the same way you'd defeat a time delay in a networked application) or by opening up the CPU die and figuring it out with an electron microscope (perhaps while the CPU is running).

Ultimately, software is going to be the productive attack vector. While the TrustZone docs emphasize "small" for the amount of code that runs in the secure zone, no programmer can ever do "small" on a deadline and so I wouldn't trust it to provide any actual security. But the hardware infrastructure is there to be pretty secure against any adversary that doesn't have a lot of time or money, if the programmers do their job correctly. (I don't trust it because of the time schedules involved for these SoCs. One or two a year, with a lifetime of maybe a couple years. Nobody is going to spend the money to do the hard work like looking for bugs just so that someone can't rip Netflix video feeds. The engineering work would be more expensive than whatever their contract with the DRM vendors says they have to pay if they get hacked, which is the only incentive to be secure... and I doubt Apple would sign one of those.
Selling vulnerabilities is a shitty thing to do. Selling to American spies instead of Russian mobsters doesn't make it any worse.

That's even worse than California's three strikes laws.
Let's do some napkin math and put these assertions to the test.

Average rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in Seattle, WA is $1869 a month [1]. A PugetPass costs about $80 a month. Living in Seattle without a car costs $1949 a month, or $23.4k a year.

Average rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in St. Louis, MO is $817 a month [2]. A decent used car that will last at least four years before needing maintenance costs a total of $4000, or an average of $83 a month. The national average for car insurance is $815 a year [3] (Missouri's is even lower), coming out to $68 a month. Now let's assume your used car gets a modest 25MPG, gas costs $3.00 a gallon, and your work is 15 miles away, plus you drive 20 miles on weekends. That's $82 a month in gas. Living with a car in St. Louis costs $1050 a month, or $12.6k a year.

Living with a car in a driveable city is $900/month and $10.8k/year cheaper than living in a non-driveable city. By this metric, non-driveable cities have housing that is 85% more expensive.

It’s not uniquely Russian, it’s just that it was systematically used by Russia far back into Soviet days making them a very strong example of using it to change the subject and avoid dealing with an issue.
One of the points of having a secure enclave is that it can enforce things like time delays. I doubt that the time delay in question is only enforced by the UI outside the enclave.
Wow had no idea the Vietnam was this bad (bad as in how bad the Americans were). Almost makes the invasion of Iraq look noble. I went through the US educational system and while we know about the Vietnam war, the protesters, this is definitely not the picture of the war that we were given. It's basically propaganda and history rewriting what they are doing here, even though the US didn't even technically win the war. We were taught that the Vietnam war protesters were just pacifist hippies.

No wonder why China is fiercely anti-American (in terms of influence, policy, etc).

Can GreyKey or anything else really bypass the unlock attempt counter of an iPhone set to erase itself after 10 unsuccessful attempts? Have they found a way to replace the firmware that executes that erase procedure? In that case, only password complexity can save you. But no evidence is shown that proves they can accomplish this.
It's not about you in reality, just trying to save users some headaches. On the contrary you have no idea what I have tried and more importantly what rigorous comparisons my company has done to select the basis for our products. There are lots of choices, most of them have better trade offs. The ones I listed are also free software. It's no different than comparing/contrasting RDBMS.
The most important part of this article is the way that Gelman derives the value. He writes a simple R script to simulate the outcomes. Many, many introductory stats classes will teach you a variety of formulas to estimate the "statistical power" of various experiments, and it's easy to get intimidated and worry if you know the right one to use. But if you know how to program, and you have a reasonable set of assumptions you'd like to test, then you can do a similar analysis in about 10 minutes.
These analyses can often save you months of work when you figure out that your exciting study idea has no hope of detecting a difference or that you actually don't need 10000 subjects to detect a 10% lift in conversion rate.
Thank you, Professor Gelman!
Names like brelse, bread, namei and so on have a long history in Unix kernels and file systems. That history forms people's expectations. If you provide a namei operation in your code, you better call it namei and not make up some other, ostensibly more clear, identifier for it.
FB would have to not give personally identifying info (PII) to the app in the first place. The main reason apps (from a user's perspective) need PII are 1) Display it to you or someone else in the app, or 2) perform a calculation or action on it (e.g. send a text to a phone number, or display an add to women age 20-28). If all I have is a user ID, FB can make it possible to do both without ever access PII.

For #1: PII could be embedded using an iframe and a url. You could even pass data (such as templates) in with url params

For #2: FB would expose endpoints that allow actions (such as send this email to the user). They could make it as generic as they needed, up to running arbitrary code on a VM, minus networking calls.

You do know the Federal Reserve is not actually federal and is owned by private banks right? Perhaps there is some definition of US government sector I'm not aware of.
Given that both are in the sleazy data business and FB is the dominant incumbent CA has a good anti-monopoly case and it will be pleasurable to watch them fight it out. Whoever loses, we all win.
We'll certainly never know. We never knew, we never will.

You are living out a simulation right now, as is everyone else - the human experience simulation they call it. That's your reality, mine is my human experience reality.

The dread you feel is a more mature version of suspecting the Santa Clause is not real. It feels nice to believe in someone who brings presents for no reason, once a year, but the reality is much nicer - your parents care about you enough to bring you that wonderful experience :)

So it is with 'truth' - outgrowing the simplistic notion of truth can be very gratifying indeed, but the process can feel dreadful at times.

I think the word "provide" should not be there.

Anyway, I think this is a brilliant idea. I don't mind the yellow background but I think the main text font could be darker for better visual contrast. A favicon won't hurt too.
If you order through a service like Postmates, be generous with your workers. We scraped together only about $9.00 per hr for our eight hours of work, even before accounting for the cost of gas and the time we saved by working as a group. If you’re make a request, your worker might be operating well under minimum wage — be patient, and consider leaving a decent tip if you can.

Oooor you could get your legal system to make the company the minimum wage (after expenses).

I like it because you run your own nation and see if you can do better.
Ah yes, nobody is doing anything, they're just following the rules of nature. And you yourself are not doing anything either, you're just stating how it objectively is. As usual when sociopaths and those obedient to them are discussed.

Yeah, right. Not at all a troll.
Here in Poland it's very risky to connect with your colleagues. I think it's the case for all countries with low social trust rating. In theory, you're working together for common gain, because if your company is better off you should earn more and work should be easier and quality better, right? Yet in Poland people are very eager to get advantage of one another. It's got to the point where I don't trust coworkers by default. I'm helpful, but careful.

To everyone scared: go on, keep being misinformed about everything China does. It’s a common but useless consolation trap to fall into.

Until you actually can see them clearly how can you start learning from their successes?
Except of course there wasn’t actually any direct equivalency. The Russian, or Chinese state explicitly and systematically oppressing people as official state policy is not equivalent to illegal oppression by a minority of a minority in another country that it’s government is slowly but successfully fighting.

Were the people trying to hold Russia to account for its knowing, deliberate policies themselves personally oppressing black people? Accusations of double standards were completely unwarranted, which is the whole point of whataboutism. Now we’re talking about America’s largely successful, if incomplete struggle against racism instead of the systematic oppression of people in other countries as official state policy. Thanks for that.
The end of the article touches on the computer game’s complicated relationship to the board game.
I don't make that assumption now that I personally know Westerners (work colleagues and such) who are apparently quite happy to make these arguments in in-person discussions.
In case any of you have questions about V6, I'll keep an eye on this thread to answer them today.

Isn’t this actually a great idea?

If you don’t like it stop doing bad things and getting bad credit. If you behave you’ll have more privileges and be permitted to interact with others in more ways. It’s the basic social contract but implemented more efficiently. I can only imagine scofflaws is complaining.

If you complain it’s open to abuse well every human system not run by an uncrackable artificial intelligence is open to abuse. Don’t unfairly fear a Chinese system over a Western system when how do you know how clear your ideas are?

If you live under this system and really cannot stand or tolerate then just move to another country and cry out that you’re a fake victim and you can seek asylum from some generous Western nation wanting to pretend it’s morally supremacist.

Indeed. I knew this kind of comment would come up, which is why I tried to address it at the beginning.

The point I really want to make is that for all that people talk about how fantastic he was and how he should have been canonized etc. -- he was just a guy who decided to do that. There's nothing stopping anyone else from doing that, from being nice and going the extra mile for other people.

There isn't some intrinsic quality that prevents anyone from being like that other than the decision to, well, do that.
Is there a correlation between Prostitution and Poverty
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_statistics_by_cou...
This gets off to a bad start:

> There are three different types of inheritance going on.

> 1. Ontological inheritance is about specialisation: this thing is a specific variety of that thing (a [soccer ball] is a sphere and it has this radius)

> 2. Abstract data type inheritance is about substitution: this thing behaves in all the ways that thing does and has this behaviour (this is the Liskov substitution principle)

> A common counterexample to OO inheritance is the relationship between a square and a rectangle. Geometrically, a square is a specialisation of a rectangle: every square is a rectangle, not every rectangle is a square. For all s in Squares, s is a Rectangle and width of s is equal to height of s. As a type, this relationship is reversed: you can use a rectangle everywhere you can use a square (by having a rectangle with the same width and height), but you cannot use a square everywhere you can use a rectangle (for example, you can’t give it a different width and height).

> Notice that this is incompatibility between the inheritance directions of the geometric properties and the abstract data type properties of squares and rectangles; two dimensions which are completely unrelated to each other

By the definitions given at the beginning, where the "abstract data type properties" of an object are its properties as considered by the Liskov substitution principle, this is nonsense.

Compare the definition stated in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liskov_substitution_principle . Type S is substitutable for type T when, if f(x) is true of all objects x of type T, then f(y) is true of all objects y of type S.

Obviously, according to this definition, any subtype S of type T which satisfies the article's definition 1 will also be Liskov substitutable for T and therefore satisfy the article's definition 2 as well. This is as far from being "unrelated concepts" as you can get; the one requires the other.

The example with Squares and Rectangles doesn't make sense either. If you have code that is set up to handle Rectangles, and you give that code a Square, then the code will handle the Square correctly. This is because Squares are Liskov substitutable for Rectangles... which is because Squares are, platonically, a kind of Rectangle.

It looks like the author wants to ask "if I encounter an interface that processes Rectangles, and I can only construct Squares, can I achieve everything, by using Squares, that someone else could have achieved by using Rectangles?" But that is not the Liskov substitution principle, or any sort of type theory principle. That would be a principle of computational equivalence.

> but not the 100,000s murdered in Iraq because of the US invasion? I

Maybe not by the mainstream media, as they were getting pretty reluctant to point out things like Obama, the Nobel Prize recipient, dropping over 20k bombs in countries we were not even at war with in just 2016. Some did report though ex: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/09/americ.... Was there someone's mom or baby killed by those bombs? Was that more humane than landing a helicopter and shooting them in the head?

As for general Iraq war criticism, you can still follow Democracy Now, Amy Goodman and others did a good job there. There was a video they did with drone operators who describe how they did the killing. They also currently have retrospective on My Lai as well https://www.democracynow.org/2018/3/16/50_years_after_my_lai... (it' s a shorter interview not a full piece like the article we are discussing).
Ok so you should take care of the data you posses now, but if you have shared the data with third party then I guess this is now their business to obey the law? I just don't see how you could possibly be forced to go and police everyone you have ever shared the data with.
So, just finished reading the article... I guess everyone should, just for the sense of thoughtfulness it should provoke.

The thing is, the perpetrators started out as ordinary young American men. What tipped the balance, to turn them into stone-cold killers? It's not unique to this situation: this is what soldiers eventually tend to do. The ultimate modern example of pure, large scale monstrosity is the Red Army, at the close of WWII. But - make no mistake - many (most?) males are capable of such acts.

Some serious psychological tools need to be thrown at this problem.
Robinhood is amazing. The app turned me into a saver. I stopped visiting Starbucks because I realised that I could simply buy a CLDT stock every-time I spent $20. I remember countless times when I stepped in a store and bought a stock on robinhood instead of spending money on some object.

Last year I did around 4300 transactions on Robinhood. This is unimaginable with something like Fidelity or E-Trade.
Relatively equal opportunities for the sexes, child benefits for all, generous parental leave (of which a portion has to be taken by the man, otherwise forfeit) inexpensive child care, free schooling including university, seem to have solved this in Sweden.

CPC. Not interested in progress? Hahaha. Ok. Keep living under that rock. Compared to other nations Chinese are much more interested in progress. And hence it developed in the last seven decades. And I think you should consider that every state is interested in maintaining power. That is the nature of state.
this is actually known in most of the world; that the US just cleanly won with raw superiority purely driven by what is good and right and no complex motives (including omitting the use of nukes to avoid having to do a proper invasion with their related losses and that they didn't want to join the party in europe, then were late to the party after things were already decided and THEN went home claiming they defeated the Nazis) is just the US-internal narrative. The other countries sadly didn't simply forget the political discussions that happened during the war period.
Every nation will try to hide the atrocities its own forces inflict on the 'enemy'. There's nothing unique about America in this regard; China is just as guilty.
I was more like a by product for me. I started rowing 3 years ago and was really surprised how flexible I got by now. I always struggled doing the asian squat ... but not anymore.
I don't really understand you. I want to know why Americans on both political wings aggressively support their soldiers. I can understand if it's a country being attacked and their own soldiers defend it. But nobody is attacking America. What good did its soldiers do by fighting wars instead of just waiting to defend?

AFAIK it's significantly more nuanced. Actually China did support Vietnam in the war - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War#People's_Republic_... - but invaded Vietnam shortly thereafter, as China was annoyed Vietnam de-throned their darling regime the Khmer Rouge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War (Meanwhile, the US bombed the shit out of Laos, who barely had any literacy and were essentially bystanders). Vietnam kicked their ass (the Chinese made basically zero progress in taking land, though later declared themselves "victorious", having "taught the Vietnamese a lesson"), but at a cost: many deaths and a legacy of landmines along the remote and mountainous border. The border was only fully demarcated about ten years ago. These days it is better known for people smuggling (mostly young women from Vietnam to China) and drug smuggling (heroin and meth). Factories are moving from China to Vietnam to obtain cheaper labour, and Vietnam's infrastructure has developed substantially, though it is still behind China.

In the 1940s the US and Nationalist China were allies - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hump ... later, the Nationalists fled and and AFAIK Communist China's only major military engagement with the US was in Korea, where US agents descended from McCarthyism tortured Communists on what is now conveniently remade as a holidaying destination. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War#Chinese_POWs

Then there's the French being kicked out, the fact that Ho Chi Minh was French educated himself, evolution in US-French relations and the US takeover of France's former most favoured foreign nation status in Thailand, which was used as a strategic regional base for US military supply.

Possible conclusion: It's all a mess, things are never simple in war, humans are sick greedy bastards, and getting over old hatreds stemming from nationalism and past events could be the best thing for the world.

I'd have thought the Chinese passport and National ID would be linked into a single system: given a passport they could find the corresponding National ID (or lack or) or vice versa. Then why would they care whether you use one or the other in any particular situation?
Combined with an api to transfer funds, it would serve as a virtual currency.

Why not just skip all that nonsense and build a token? It's an easier abstraction and does not involve asking permission or trusting a third party.
