Looks like it can all be done offline + OSS except for Speech-To-Text. But I think the key idea is even if it's using cloud for processing, you can at least trust it isn't listening when it shouldn't be (as long as always-on, wake word detection is offline).
Setting up Charles requires two explicit authorization steps (each requiring passcode/fingerprint/face verification): First, network interception requires adding a VPN config (the dialog warns that "All network activity on this iPhone may be filtered or monitored when using VPN"). Second, SSL MITM requires installing and trusting a root CA certificate (the relevant prompts in iOS are less clear -- they say that the cert will not be trusted until you enable it, but don't explain the implications if you do enable it).

Quebec Blogger Slams Government to Detach on Cryptocurrency Mining
>>(Most) cryptocurrencies don't have privacy (quite the opposite). The reason why the government couldn't stop cryptocurrency transactions is that they were decentralised.

They can be used in ways that give the user privacy. They're pseudonymous. But yes, a big part of why they can't be stopped is that they're decentralized.

But that decentralization only works if users have some degree of privacy. If governments knew every participant's address, that decentralization would effectively vanish.

>>Yes, they may be able to try to punish the mint for permitting such transactions, but this would be the same as punishing Coinbase for allowing people to send those transactions as well.

Coinbase would not allow transactions to Wikileaks if the financial blockade were reimposed on it.

GNU Taler states that it is designed to prevent illegal use, and if it is accurate in its claim, then it will prevent Wikileaks from using it during a financial blockade.

A technology's susceptibility to government control doesn't discriminate based on the moral justification for the government wanting to exert that control.

That's why one has to acknowledge that there's a trade off to be made, and decide which trade off is more conducive to a functional society.

I personally think empowering individuals rather the surveillance state is the better trade-off.

>>This does not apply to GNU Taler, because no encryption or privacy guarantee is being bypassed.

The Clipper chip did not give any privacy guarantee against government monitoring, yet this channel for monitoring was commonly called a backdoor.
MATRIX with Google iNaturalist 2018 Challenge Advances Better ML
While we're asking for features, I would like the opposite of that: a way to see only flagged domains, but ideally filtering out the spam/junk in some way.
This is the main reason I am ambivalent about the typical school (even the best ones I know about, and from first grade up through the undergraduate level). Compared to the amount of time spent, relatively little is focused on mastering all of the metacognitive skills required for expert problem solving in any domain. Almost all work is done at the shallowest surface level with shallow delayed feedback and an overemphasis on punishing minor errors or non-standard output formatting, and on judging/ranking the students. There is a parade of 'content' to get through, but little chance for students to work on problems which are truly difficult (for the student at their current level, e.g. taking more than a few hours to figure out a single problem) or larger-scale projects of personal interest. Very seldom is the work revisited or iterated. Ideas and methods from one discipline are seldom applied to another. Students are systematically discouraged from taking any kind of risk. (This is not primarily the fault of individual educators: scaling close personal attention from experts is just uneconomical given current societal resources available for education, and schools have many difficult constraints on pedagogy.)

> It's always the same f*ing people that break it though!

Sometimes that's just the people who change things the most and work the hardest. It's harder to break anything when you don't actually change anything.
So... the NHTSA started an investigation in 2010, and Toyota 'provided to the American public, NHTSA and the United States Congress an inaccurate timeline of events that made it appear as if TOYOTA had learned of the sticky pedal in the United States in “October 2009,”', when "In fact, TOYOTA had begun its investigation of sticky pedal in the United States no later than August 2009, had already reproduced the problem in a U.S. pedal by no later than September 2009, and had taken active steps in the months following that testing to hide the problem from NHTSA and the public."

But the NHTSA's 10-month investigation beginning in 2010 when Toyota had already informed them of the sticky pedals came to the conclusion that zero of the reported cases of unintended acceleration involved sticky pedals.

That's a case for lying to the government, and we see a judgment against Toyota for lying to the government. How is it a case for unintended acceleration?
Here's a blog post where the original LIRC component in Home Assistant was developed along with some info about how to use it [1]. In here an A/C unit, a TV, and a stereo are all controlled with one little IR LED.

With a little z-wave door sensor (just a magnetic reed switch), you could have Home Assistant run an automation that says "If gate is open at 9:30am, close it." so then you don't even have to log in to click it.

> I struggle to produce things that are both powerful yet also easy to use.

The problem is really hard. I can build such tools, but it takes me 2-4 times longer than making an equally powerful tool with rudimentary UX barely enough for me only.

Also I’m from Windows world, here “easy to use” == “rich GUI”. Also shell scripts + text streams is rarely a good way to compose stuff here, people are used to APIs/libraries/COM interfaces.
but if I don't want that feature then my need of disabling is superficial
Sure, but aren't they already if you look at the accident per total miles driven ratio?
Of course, there will be accidents and people will die. People die every day in car accidents.
Yes, to me these problem with laser weapons seem fundamental.

The thing which makes light interesting and useful is that it interacts so strongly with matter. So strongly in fact that they can be hugely affected by such things are air-density variations, fine particles in the air etc. So it seems the makers of anti-laser defences will always have options.

Bullets and bombs on the other hand have the "nice" property that they interact strongly with solid matter but fairly weakly with gasses. (Yes, it's more complicated than that).
This reminds me of all I could think about watching the new star wars films. Why don’t all the storm troopers get to have the shiny mirrored suits. Those pesky rebels and their lasers blasters would just bounce off. check mate empire.

Lowering the activation energy required to do cardio by getting my own treadmill in the living room really helped me get into the habit of doing cardio more regularly.

Now instead of paying every month for a gym membership I rarely used, I end up doing a good 3-4 hours of light cardio every week, opportunistically, because it's so easy to get started, and I can play music and watch shows while exercising without worrying about disturbing others, making it a much more enjoyable experience overall.

Show HN: Egg Gradients – Gradient color inspirations
When you say that you like nicotene, can you at least agree with the general idea that you like the ability to end the general stress that comes from not being able to smoke when its on your mind?

Here's another thought experiment from the book: The author says that when he meets people for the purposes of doing seminars and speaking events, He asks smokers if they would pay $1000 up front, for a lifetime supply of cigarettes. He said that he has never once gotten anyone to take him up on the offer, and he did this for over 25 years before he died.

But if you offered a smoker that deal for things like food, or gasoline, or anything else they see themselves using forever, and $1000 is significantly less than the a la carte price for the lifetime supply, of course they would take the deal, assuming they could be sure it was legitimate, and assuming the $1000 could be secured.

The author uses this thought experiment to show that all addicted smokers wish they could quit, even if they can't admit it to themselves. Hes saying that the very fact you are unwilling to pay ahead of time is proof that you're making a calculation in your head that you envision your self quitting before you spend another $1000 on tobacco, or whatever the vice.

D.C. is usually counted as a state in discussion of Presidential elections since it was alotted electors under the 23rd Amendment. (This actually comports with a common practice in federal statute law where any of the federal territories that are treated equal to a state in the particular law are simply lumped into the law’s particular definition of “state”, which is then used to refer to actual stated plus the equivalent-to-state territories in the context of that law.)
Its the same thing, but its exempt from insurer regulations.

That means they are not obligated to cover your medical expense and you are not allowed to sue them. Repayment is always up to their discretion, and they can spend the money however they want.

They generally reimburse you after you've paid out of pocket, and normally have a lower cap on how much they'll reimbourse, something like up to 250k max.

Its Christian based, they normally only allow Christians to join, and won't pay for injuries caused by activities they don't believe follow their values. Such as STDs from sexual relations outside of marriage, drugs, alchool, fighting, etc.

So what is regulation replaced by? Trust in other Christians. If you trust Christians to be less corrupt and more fair in distributing the pool of money contributed in a fair way to members who most need it. And if you trust other members to be willing to suddenly give extra in case the pool runs out and people still need money for their medical expenses.

In contrast, with normal insurance you have to trust government audit to make sure insurers follow regulations, and trust that they won't wait for you to take them to court to pay up.

Generally, because real insurers have those regulation, they'll want to be very sure they can cover people even in the worst case, which means boosting premiums and deductibles, etc. Also, most normal insurers are for profit and might also want to charge more simply to boost their profit, while health sharing ministries are non for profit, though some of them have been criticised for their founders and employees to pay themselves too big a salary and give themselves too many bonuses.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the example in the readme create a circular dependency?
There are two ways to see this. One is, your tool is too difficult to use to get the 1x value from it. The other is, your coworkers lack the necessary knowledge to extract 10x value from it.

I know that stuff shouldn't be complex for complexity's sake, but I also frequently notice an anti-intellectual attitude in our profession. I see people learning just about enough of programming to land a job, and then refusing to learn any further. This is a pretty weird behaviour, IMO, but sadly not uncommon.

I can totally see Dara Khosrowshahi shutting down the self-driving program, given the reports that he already considered this possibility right after he was hired.
That's true with regard to this incident. But there are the incidents by other developers of the technologies where the systems have proven at fault.

What I'm saying is that given that the technology has not yet proven itself in demanding scenarios, we may ask for more rigorous requirements if this is to become the default navigation mode of the future (no human intervention).

Do we have data on how many times people have had to avert an incident that wasn't reported (my autonav almost crashed me, but I took over)? If we had public data, we could make some kind of assessment but even then, if they proved good, we could make them even better yet with the additional support/failsafe systems.
iPhone Apps Development Company – iOS App Developers – Mobiloitte
Why would there be a massive increase in these kinds of accidents?
You can still patch statically linked libraries. Either statically in an editor and resign or dynamically by changing page protection to rwx, and writing a jump to the alternative implementation. Latter requires entitlements, or jailbreak on iOS.
"In addition, there are no attributable deaths to either accident among the general population. Radiation doses in both cases were very low in the context of the general population surrounding these plants."

I think you need to spend more time reading about chernobyl.

Many, many of the cleanup workers at chernobyl in the weeks and months following the disaster were normal people who were essentially gang-pressed into service and handed a shovel.

All of those people wrapping tree trunks in plastic and burying them were not all soldiers or paid, professional firefighters. These people were worked until they literally fell over and died in hospital shortly thereafter. I would characterize these people as part of the "general population".

I recommend _All that is Solid Melts Into Air_ and _Voices from Chernobyl.

Hire Web Developer – Hire Dedicated Web Programmer
I have never seen any picture editor, free or non-free that I (not a graphics professional, just a webmaster) would enjoy using nearly as much as I enjoy using Paint.NET. Photoshop looks notably more stylish (Paint.NET looks great too, GIMP looks mediocre from the aesthetical point of view) and feels a little bit more intuitive than GIMP yet still very hard to use until you spend days-weeks-months studying it and gaining experience. Paint.NET is 100% intuitive, no need to study, you just use it, looks great, feels convenient and does almost (for some things I actually use GIMP occasionally) everything I ever need quick-and-easy. The fact it is free is an amazing bonus to such a great product.
Same for me. I tested a Windows 7 x64 system which has all security patches, but caf's "really simple test" above still runs, which seems to indicate that the bug still exists. Same as you, I applied KB4088881, which was the only pending update, but it made no difference.

Also, I tried the command from the orginal article:

pcileech.exe dump -out memorydump.raw -device totalmeltdown -v -force

This creates 5GB file which does look like a raw memory dump. I'm not sure how to interpret this; I don't know what the behavior should be with or without the bug.

As a follower, it seems like TypeScripts typing system is quite a bit more popular... I know there's a typescript preset for babel, and am passively interested in seeing where that goes.

TBH though, I don't really see that TypeScript has many advantages over JS. Though some of this generic syntax seems easier than duck type testing in JS.
I wonder if perhaps the elephant simply finds the outburst of smoke entertaining?
Wow, this guy is being shockingly immature. He honestly writes like my friends and I did when we were young teenagers. This is disappointing for HN.
Yes, and the normal way you do this is by having some people (who can be tainted) write a bunch of documentation. Then the documentation gets passed to the people working in the 'clean room' who then implement based on that documentation.

The problem I'm describing is that in this case the kind of thing you'd typically want to write in that documentation is exactly the signatures of methods, which would amount to copying the copyrighted material and would taint the whole clean room. I'm trying to think of a way you could even do clean room engineering if the signatures of methods are copyright information. The reimplement from usage examples is the only thing I can come up with.
I'm a somewhat technical marketer who enjoys building lots of fun tools in spreadsheets for a chunk of what I do.

While the raw functionality is often very complex and met with blank stares, I've realized I find new excitement in refining and building pretty "front-ends" in the spreadsheet that simplify things for end-users.

Finding interest in the challenges of simplifying and polishing for others is one path forward with your struggle. It was a definite shift as before my focus was on making them as powerful as possible. Only when I realized that the most powerful tool in the world is useless unless people adopt it was I able to break free of my old mental model.
Hazard perception is actually a part of the driving test in the UK. They make candidates sit in front of a computer, watch clips of situations and click the mouse when they think there's a dangerous situation developing.

I only work 20-30 hours per week as I see fit and can choose who I report to and when I take time off.

The problem is that the general public will not accept deaths caused by machines even if they are statistically safer. As an example, the German government gave in to public pressure after Fukushima and decided to shut down all nuclear power plants even though total death rate of coal power is A LOT higher and this event did not even happen in their own continent.

If stuff like this continues to happen, i can see some government banning self driving tech for the foreseeable future.
