In Matrix, E2EE isn't enabled by default[1], and the option to enable it is in fact marked with a warning that it comes with potentially unwanted side-effects. This isn't the same, and the arguments that call recommending Telegram for E2EE encryption disingenuous apply to Matrix/Riot recommendations too.

One other issue I have with Matrix is the fact that they're in the process of completely rewriting their reference implementation in Go despite the fact that - as far as I remember - the first one, in Python, isn't entirely complete[2]. Combined with the app-bridge song and dance[3] there's too much in flux for me to recommend in good conscience.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly (speaking as a "regular" user - the type needed to achieve mass adoption), the client is horrendous. This is especially apparent when compared with Wire, but I'd go as far as saying it's apparent even when compared with some IRC clients. At least Signal's UI/UX is passable. Encryption didn't catapult Telegram to 200 million monthly users. A slick UI, a half-decent UX, and some good marketing did.

> I don't know how Genetic Algorithms/programming could be made 'explainable' as to why they achieved an optimal solution other than hand-waving to how evolution works in nature.

With either GA or ANN, you don't know that the algorithm has achieved the optimal solution and I would be surprised if you could ever prove that in the general case.

What you can know is that your algorithm performs well, e.g. by testing how well it plays go or drives a car or recognises faces, or whatever.

Heh, I didn't have a Facebook account until several years ago. At some point I heard some coworkers discussing about something posted on Facebook, a post was about me. So I decided I'd make an account.

One of the first screens was that list of suggestions for people to add as friends.

Guess what? Even though they had almost no info on me, from me, the list had almost everyone I knew, even neatly sorted by level of interactions across the time.

I had just activated the "shadow" profile they had on me from everyone else...
Ask HN: Why does Slack App on macOS drain 3GB of memory?
Can somebody explain to me why the Slack app drains >3.5GBs of memory.

I am using the version 3.1.0 on 10.10.5 OSX.

Am I the only "lucky" user getting such a poor memory performance?
Yep. I agree - it's pretty easy to slip up and public IPs are fairly easy to monitor.

It reminds me of this project https://github.com/edsu/anon which "lets you tweet about anonymous Wikipedia edits from particular IP address ranges"

You'd get along great with the Australian government. /grr
Yes, I really think that the majority of workers feel that going home earlier will decrease their happiness at work rather than increase it. Therefore they requested an exemption. Would they like the system to be improved so that they don't have to work late? Yes, I think they want that.

My issue is with the characterisation that it is management that is forcing them to stay late. At least in my experience (in Japan) it just isn't true. It's just the work culture and everybody plays into it. That's why the government has to (and does) get involved.

I'll stop posting about this because it's one of the things that frustrates me to no end. It's super easy to to jump to the conclusion that Asian companies and managers are just these monsters that chew up their employees without remorse, but I really think it is a widespread misunderstanding of cultural differences.
Last paragraph...

This introduces a unique ethical issue. We must consider the impact on victims before taking down ransomware infrastructure.

...if every victim did not pay or was prevented from paying, the scale of the problem would likely decrease; however this would mean that some individuals would incur additional harm by not being able to recover their files.

Well, no. You take it down immediately so new victims aren't added.

It would be nice if you could provide the uncrypt key for the current victims, but explain to the hospital that's shut down by these assholes how you could have prevented it but we're waiting for current victims bitcoins to clear the exchange.

Oh, and go full ISIS on the people running the ransomware.
It might, or it might not. And even if it did, then so what? I think the attitude you expressed is equivalent to: well since there is no way to actually stop the slave trade from using some platform, US companies might as well profit from it.
> (How much faith to put in an anonymously sourced claim about what was in the logs of an unnamed social network is a separate question, of course.)

Parent already addressed this. Unless you have evidence to the contrary the "what if" game does not take us very far.
Not surprised. Facebook/Messenger Android App can read phone call log.

Somewhere in their Messenger Android app indicates they might be planning to provide a dialer and support voice calling. It makes the excuse of reading call log more justifiable /s
That paragraph is opinion of the author of the article which is my complaint. And, again, your second paragraph is an issue I also have. That people are stating that Uber is a car manufacturer.
What makes this better for building CLIs than using something like Thor with Ruby or Click with Python?

I mean, from the 1 minute video that's posted on the page, it just looks like it's a basic Node library to help tackle some common CLI requirements and it happens to have generators.
Your profile has no links, it there any page to follow what you're doing, or are you developing it offline? Anyways, I'd love to be able to follow news about what you're on to, it sounds really exciting!

Definitely, it usually boils down to reducing the intake of inflammation-causing food:

* soda, snack bars, candy, baked sweets

* mayonnaise, most salad dressings, barbecue sauces, most crackers, most breads, most potato chips

* fried foods (fries, fried chicken, fish sticks, chicken tendies, onion rings)

* refined white flour foods (pizza, white bread, most pasta, pretzels, flour tortillas, breakfast cereals, bagels)

* most milks and milk-based products (soft cheeses, butter)

* grain-fed meats, processed meats (bacon, hot dogs, bologna, sausage, jerky)

* chronic intake of alcoholic beverages

* doughnuts, cookies, muffins, frosting

While this list might seem excessive and it is by no means exhaustive or applicable or every person suffering from chronic inflammation, I'm sure you can speak from personal experience that several items on these lists have caused you some manner of discomfort.

There are so many substitutions available in every large grocery store and substituting fractions of every meal can go a long way. It's tough to get into the habit of regularly purchasing (for example) a variety of fruits and vegetables but it is definitely worth it.

For many of the items in the lists above, there are plenty of low-inflammatory options (eg: switching to whole grain breads instead of refined white flour breads, having dark leafy greens instead of Caesar salad, adding almonds, swapping in skim milk and yogurt from regular full-fat milk, any of the berries).

EDIT: removed coffee
People, in general, are terrible at effectively evaluating risks.

It's my impression that those that DO understand Maxwell's equations (or any other similar field-specific factors) often overlook just how fundamentally bad others are at factoring risks. The stupidity of those assuming "it won't happen to me" is likely nearly as great as the field experts expectations that "it most definitely WILL happen to YOU".

Hmmmm, wonder if there's a maxim or law for that?

Hopefully at least some of those dabbling at the fringes will at least become better educated about the risks when reading a wider range of perspectives on it.

Anyway, quite often the idiots double-down on their beliefs and the experts fail to realize they're beating a dead horse. Welcome to human discourse.
Back in my day it used to be "chinese hackers" but I guess we have always been at war with Eurasia.
Here's how: Facebook requested those permissions on Android and scrapped them. Users (includes technical people like OP) just blindly click "Yes" on every pop up.

Even if you're super careful with your permission, Facebook can still construct a good profile of you via the people you're communicating with.
Oh yeah because it’s been totally stagnant! Right guys? Oh because it reports all the telemetry by default back to Microsoft, oh shit that’s edge. Because it’s been breaking web standards and trying to make the world chrome rather than being a world player. Ah got it.
>Driverless cars are also being tested in relatively nice driving conditions. People, on the other hand, drive in all sorts of conditions.

I would add that people represent (as a whole) various kind of drivers, including the non-expert/fresh licensed, the elderly, the too sure of themselves, those speeding or not respecting road signals (or driving in connection with a crime), the emotionally fragile, those under the effect of alcohol or drugs, those tired by not having had enough sleep, etc., etc.

The "model" for an autonomous vehicle should be instead a particular "perfect" subset, ideally it should replicate the behaviour of an hypothetical extremely prudent, healthy 30-something with some experience with safe driving, very familiar with the way his/her car handles, having had a nice night sleep, no use of alcohol or drugs, without any external pressure (to arrive in time, to do other chores apart driving) without a cellphone or tablet distracting him/her.

If we could find this latter kind of drivers (should they actually exist) and isolate from the statistics the amount of incidents they caused, that would be the reference benchmark.
Ooooohh, alright guys, wrap it up, finally someone came up with a solution.

And here I was, thinking it's not so simple as to just tell people what to do and everything will fall into place...
So it somehow linked that to your account, and they slipped up on showing it to you. I'm sure if they exported they'd find that they also have more calls.
There does not seem to be an option to link a WhatsApp account to a Facebook account (other than associating phone numbers). So it does not seem to be the case
This is true, unfortunately, of many public interest groups. They’re staffed by true believers, often people who have been strongly affacted by whatever cause they’re fighting for. Dealing with sex abuse victims all day destroys your objectivity.

I trust Mozilla has done the diligence to handle the data correctly. If I didn't trust Mozilla I wouldn't use Nightly or even Firefox. I use Nightly because I want to help Mozilla test and make Firefox better. For me that includes opting-in to studies, reporting bugs, and helping test about:config flags they mention in their Nightly blog.
An option to hide/expand comment trees might help, as you could easily hide the first comment (and everything that hangs off it) and check out the next ones (without having to manually scan indentation).
It all depends on how do you agree upon this. I've been married, and I've been in open and polyamorous relationships, and difference is enormous.
What I have read you can basically make a trade off with IGF-1.

You can live more years by lowering IGF-1 but you are going to feel older with lower IGF-1.

I would much rather have a longer period of high IGF-1 than a longer overall total lifespan.
Well, I'm glad I use Firefox now
I'd say PornHub, and porn in general, is more liberal than left-wing, so i doubt they'll have anything against guns. Still, they could deem the content inapropriate for the site. Though, given the kind of seemingly random videos people upload there, and get aroused by, it's not at all definite.
> I’ve noticed that everything Pinker writes bears the scars of the hostile mistranslation tactic. Scarcely does he say anything before he turns around and says, “and here’s what I’m not saying”—and then proceeds to ward off five different misreadings so wild they wouldn’t have occurred to me, but then if you read Leon Wieseltier or John Gray or his other critics, there the misreadings are, trotted out triumphantly; it doesn’t even matter how much time Pinker spent trying to prevent them.

That number is pretending to be accurate the error bars are rediculus to have 3 digits.
Implying that there is some uptick in people who are "allowed to treat the prostitutes disrespectfully" in well-regulated societies is intellectually disingenuous. To quote @Illniyar: "Legalization is far from perfect but abuse in Nevada brothels is much lower than as street walkers."

Assumptions are...well, you know the saying.
Indeed. The car industry seems to be committing to it but it's unclear the market will swallow it.
> Epic fail. Always be honest and direct with people. If there is some policy preventing the most direct and appropriate answer then don't respond at all. People are generally good at discerning when you are tap-dancing or spinning your wheels (cowardly bullshit).

I'm doing that in my current company and I feel it will get me fired (which I don't mind that much). When asked why my development tasks are taking so long, I'm honestly pointing out the myriad of architecture/design and infrastructure/CI/CD fuckups I have to spend time dealing with every day (I work in a major bank). Of course, people responsible for setting up things this way are still running things, and don't want to hear about consequences of their previous decisions.
I think that statement asks that you let the parent have final say over how you interact with their children, not that you cater to their every whim because their child is disabled.

You're not getting it, the parent comment realized something I realized. Like Chrome adding API's that are unofficial or not supported whatsoever. There's also sites that "only work on Chrome" just like they once "only worked on IE".
Maybe i'm too old for the communities now. I gave up playing Arena games due to the toxic communities and now stick to arranged teams in Rocket League.

A far more enjoyable experience even if i do meet a shockingly large number of my moms sexual partners.
I am equally confused as well. It's been a while since I studied CS, but when stuff was to be handed in on paper we even had multiple names on it (which was allowed, but like only up to 4) and when it was switched to digital handin, why wouldn't you submit the same thing twice, with both names on it.

i deleted my facebook acc years ago, but people keep using my gmail when registring for facebook, i dont know how is facebook allowing that.
i though after some time without verifying the email facebook would disable the account, so i filtered those to not go to my inbox. but facebook never did that. so i had to contact them to disable the account and verify that this is my email address and not from the person that registered it. they removed then my email for that account. after half a year somebody else registered the email again, and im getting again emails from fb and now im filtering it to go to spam directly. it makes me angry.

Which is the more likely of the two?

1. The hacker actually worked for GRU, which was already known to engage in such activities, and slipped up once?

2. Somebody hacked into a GRU office so they could connect from there one time and hope somebody would notice?
Stop being such a goddamned quitter. Go to r/pua or r/seduction, r/fitness and r/malefashionadvice and follow the advice in the sidebar. If all you want to do is get laid even with a repulsive personality it’s a numbers game and the highest value is in the PUA stuff. Having a body that works like it’s supposed to will both help you with getting some and your mental health. Dressing well is the least important. If you just don’t care about that go all Steve Jobs about it and wear the same outfit all the time, whether it’s a suit like Vonneuman or a tracksuit that fits.

And don’t put yourself down. Other people are happy to do it for you.
The WTO uses bound tariffs, not the actual applied tariffs, as far as I know. The applied tariffs adjusted by real trade shows that US is not the least protectionist country, Japan and Singapore are less protectionist. Anyway, the adjusted tariff is lower than the China tariff. https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2018/03/08/1520526203000/America...
Have you worked with the US Gov't in any capacity?

They are just regular people. It's not a world of super spies. I am sure GRU is not that much different. Even the top folks eat corn flakes like everyone else.

People make mistakes all the time.

This might be bullshit but just saying so is hardly a compelling argument. I will wait for more evidence one way or another myself, with the obvious disclaimer that anything could be bullshit.
On the contrary, I do consider the work and can't help but wonder : why do you do this ? Is it pleasurable ? Is it out of hope ?
Because not all parents of disabled children/people go that path, and I can't imagine blaming someone that decides that giving up everything in life for a lost cause isn't worth it.
But your argument is also applicable to judges. There's nothing in legal training that makes people magically superior to "normies", incapable of error and so on.

Meanwhile someone forced to do jury duty is gonna spend the time there whether they like it or not, so there's also no motivation to _not_ try to make good decisions. It won't save any time.

I wonder if within 1,000 years they don’t develop nano robots that actually mine our current trash for the minerals? We toss out gold, silver, rare earth metals, petroleum, every day... the trick is it’s so very hard right now to extract those minerals, but perhaps our current landfills and garbage patches will become the “gold mines” of the future. It would be super easy to reach — landfills have trash just feet below the surface. No dangerous digging.

Just thinking optimistically here. I personally do what I can now to keep the earth clean. No sense peeing in your own pool.

The UK has made all appearances of going forward with GDPR principles independently of the EU, and as with almost everything in terms of EU regulations, we will likely have to comply with GDPR whether we stay inside or outside of the EU formal structures especially given its extra-territorial enforcement. The UK already has a lot of data protection legislation (more so than the US), and is making no indication of wishing to repeal.

GDPR will be a pain for a lot of businesses, but seems to be well designed to protect citizens by to reducing abuses of surveillance by private companies like those in the news right now with Facebook.

GDPR is the appropriate response to decades of giving industry an opportunity to self regulate its data collection practices (the "cookie law" was a warning shot ignored by industry), which has evidently spectacularly failed should you open any broadsheet newspaper this morning.
