> Two, what the heck does "knowingly facilitate" mean?

In law it is not about what you know, but about what you can prove. A person's belief system or fantastic truths are not evidence of a crime.

In your GMail example you have a reasonable faith that people may use the service to engage in communications in facilitation of a criminal enterprise. Your faith is irrelevant. You must have the email communications in hand along with a valid search warrant.

That isn't what most people are losing their minds over. People are losing their damn minds, according to wonderfully mature comments on the earlier news article at ArsTechnica, on two points:

1. This law is hostile to any legally valid sex business.

2. This law holds web site owners responsible for the content that appears on their site.

My opinion on those two:

1. Sex businesses whether legal or not are generally considered a social vice much like alcohol and tobacco. There are all manners of legal restrictions upon commercial communications generally, and particularly for services and products that are considered vices. They are heavily restricted in where they can advertise and any media that violates such laws can be held responsible. This has been a thing for decades, so it is only fitting that it should apply to sex businesses which are slowly creeping towards wider legalization.

2. Web publishers get all kinds of legal passes that publishers in other mediums don't get under the guise of third-party attribution. Web site owners should be liable for the content that appears on their site. This has been true somewhat from a civil perspective ever since Viacom slapped the shit out of YouTube in a multi-billion dollar law suit[1], but it hasn't been criminally true. This law cracks open the door for potential criminal violations, is panic for businesses that publish user contributions in order to monetize third-party advertising.

Speaking about web-site owners being held liable for the content on their site this reminds me of SOPA[2]. I know this made a lot of people cry (with really big tears), but is far more upsetting to social media companies. It isn't because of potential free speech restrictions or unnecessary regulation. It upset social media business, because it would have crushed their business model.

My comment was replying to the wondering over why so many in the USA in modern times see poverty and homelessness as moral failures to be punished. It has nothing whatsoever to do with "multi-cultural libertarian extremism," whatever you imagine that to be.
This seems to highlight the ever present disparity between culture/society and laws that are on the books, and this is just another expression of it.

Hopefully the FBI has relaxed such standards since this piece was published in 2014, but I doubt it.
Humans do the same thing; not working as intended some of the time. It's just that the failure modes for ML are different, and so we see them as ridiculous.

GIMP still only half-supports CMYK in 2018, though. But as someone who uses it professionally, I agree that GIMP is a Linux's Photoshop, not a Linux's MS Paint. I'm guessing that the user you replied to has only used it as such and hasn't dive into all the tools and features it offers. With all the bugs and half-broken tools it has, I still think it is a great piece of software, and my life would be much harder without it.
Aha, that looks great.
Yes, it's a firewall/network monitor, which monitors/controls network traffic tied to specific applications. That does appear to be the level 7 piece in cilium that, based on my naive reading of older attempts at Little Snitch-alike projects, was difficult, unreliable, and costly to do.
Now I can confirm my excitement about these developments, even if I don't really understand them. :)
If all it takes is "one occasion" for investigators to believe you're Russian, it's also definitely easy to throw investigations off course.
What if we, like, made a phone that was entirely glass? That would be so fucking cool, man.
Hmm. what about...

Your comment doesn't pass a basic test of moral decency, which is that there is no reason to point fingers. Actions should be judged based on their own merits, not what others are doing. That is just deflection.

I doubt you meant it that way, but that is how it came across.

And of course it is a very big deal and not at all palatable to interfere with the internal politics of another country to destabilize it, regardless of how often it has been done, the roles of its internal members, or their cooperation with you.
Ha, that's such a classic HN comment.

I appreciate you taking the time to look at the source. I used this, like I do most of my side projects, as an opportunity to learn a few things.

I wanted a generic abstraction so that multiple sources could be used. Originally I didn't want or think of the need to support multiple sources, but it quickly became apparent how necessary that was when looking at the quality of free vs paid vs personal-key-required sources.

In any case, thanks for checking it out!
It all comes down to campaign finance. We need pblicly funded elections with absolutely no tolerance for private money, and a set equal amount for each major party candidate. Until Citizens United is overturned, and we get some kind of legislation like this, money will continue to dominate everything. And as long as that’s the case, there will always be unethical behavior because the incentives are too great.
Or this is bullshit, plain and simple . You don't think outgoing connections are unproxied and unmonitored at GRU (GRU, of all things ? This is military intelligence, BTW) , do you ?
Or the opposite; tiny house permitting made it more apparent that many trailer parks have inadequate septic/sewer systems.

As someone who'd always pick CLJS over Js, for the heck of it I tried to build React / Redux / React-router based app and was blown away at how dev friendly the experience was.

No fiddling with tooling, the entry barrier can't be lower.
With CLJS it's always figuring out the latest versions, trying to get Figwheel off the ground is at least a day worth of work for me. What was piggieback again and why don't I have it? Which profiles are loaded implicitly by lein, should I use figwheel-sidecar? Then add building your app to be reload friendly (even though by default it's a good practice)

There's just so much going on even after having built 3-4 projects with CLJS and using the same stack, I am still struggling.

Once you get through the first few days of battling with libs it's breeze.

That's where Js gets behind. Redux / React is all about transforming and shaping your data. You end with lots of boilerplate. Even though ES6 is drastically better with syntactic sugar for manipulating data, it's still far behind Lisp nature of data transforming.

It's a tough choice nowadays. I want to get moving fast and feel strongly inclined towards sticking to Js.
I agree that this is possible, but I too would like to see them explain precisely how they narrowed it down to a single workstation in a building full of workstations, and then how they mapped a workstation to a human.

A comment downthread suggests that he logged into a real-name service from the same IP without a VPN. This too is possible, but I find it at least somewhat surprising that an intelligence service doesn't prohibit logging in to real-name services from State computers.

For example, some civilian employers prohibit this, even when they provably have nothing to hide.
I'd personally love that too.

Unfortunately, though, its a bit complex to even try to use the local dictionary: https://github.com/Rican7/define/issues/1
My company's also using Buildkite, and I've been hugely impressed with how easy it is to work with, and how flexible it's been for us.
the thing is that this all rather makes the DNC emails rather suspect, we don't know which bits were original and which bits were doctored along the way, it's no longer a lone wolf who just hacked them and then released them.

I'm sure they're 95% genuine, we just don't know which 95% all we have is some KGB guy's word on it
This might be true and probably is, but I'm in general not the sort of person who is convinced by "We have more evidence but we're not showing it here, just believe us!"

It just strikes me as very sloppy epistemology, and sort of insulting to my abilities to draw my own conclusions.
Things like wrist supports, straps, braces, etc. should only be used if recommended by a doctor. They can make some conditions worse.
Us guys? I was not and am not a Trump supporter, but to believe collusion requires actual proof.
The US has a lot of high end manufacturing. Where do you think all the aerospace tech and advanced weapons systems are built? It's the low end manufacturing that has gone overseas.

The whole thing of turning the clock back is quixotic. Did the US benefit over all from this change and does it continue to do so? Yes. Are there winners and also losers? Yes, and crucially the gainers gained more than the losers lost. The problem then seems to be one of distribution of gains, and you can solve that by fairer redistribution. All that turning the clock back does is to make the country poorer on average, and it's a very roundabout way to achieve redistribution.

This question will inevitably come again with robots and there will be people who want to turn back the clock then too, but they will be called luddites.

I find it worrisome that your comment was downvoted to the very bottom of the page. You are suggesting the common sense solution. If the people on Hacker News could look at the industry situation in an objective, rational way, I'm sure your comment would be the top voted comment on the page.
Totally get it, I hope you didn't take my comment as a criticism.
In fact this is exactly the argument many of the framers had against the bill of rights — that they were so natural and inherently obviously not to be infringed that listing a few of them might make people think anything that might have been left out was not in fact a natural right of the people!

Can’t say how glad I am they decided it better to put a few key ones down on paper. Imagine if “they are so natural as to go unwritten” had won the day?
It's not up to the FBI, it's up to the DEA and FDA. The FBI has to follow federal law and as long as that law says cannabis is a schedule I controlled substance there's nothing they can do about it.
What @mgkimsal said.

It depends on the job and also on your philosophy and your contracting rate, of course, but I bill only for hours that I’m actually physically in my chair working on the project, and nothing else. Speaking with other contractors, this seems like the norm to me.

Even if you’re not working, a very enlightening and worthwhile exercise is to track your time to the minute at your day job and find out how much you’re actually working. I use toggl to track my time (which I’m not endorsing, use anything that’s tolerable and convenient enough, it’s not like time tracking is fun). Toggl stops tracking after a configurable x number of minutes idle, I use 5. I stop tracking while I’m emailing or reading hacker news. I also don’t track time spent billing; putting together reports on my time & progress and such.

If you’re like me or most people, you might be really surprised to find out that breaks and office chatter and surfing and lunch actually consumes 20%-40% of your work day.

As part of dropping Heroku for our own platform we ended up writing something equivalent in python, then Go initially to deal with packaging/distribution. Its been pretty great, but damn I would have loved this to have been in Go. Then I wouldn't even tell the developers we moved off Heroku :P
Absolutely I would! Any contributions would be greatly appreciated!
And because lawsuits are expensive, and often lawyers won't take a case unless it will bring them publicity or a big cash payout.

It's about elderly people living in poverty. It's very relevant to whether retirements and pensions are falling off a cliff and whether people won't be able to eat when they're retired, as alleged.
> Hindi and Marathi both have dedicated names for the tens (11, 12, 13, ...)

Same deal with English.

> and after that numbers are named in the reverse order of their digits. E.g. 45 will be five - forty.

Which is similar in complexity to English, just the order of speaking is reversed.

> _except_ the word for five will be different from the word for five in, say, 75. Similarly, the word for "fifty" in the fifties is different for many of them.

Now I realize what you're saying. It seems that I have memorized every number. Because I never thought of this.
Cheers I will do that!
It doesn't need to outperform an experienced and reasonably careful human driver to be a significant net benefit to society. All it needs to do is get the most dangerous 10-20% of the population out from behind the wheel.
They "inflated" it from 12 to 24 but recently it looks like they deflated it back to 12 cores. However you count it, a full Power9 chip is competitive with a 24-core Xeon or 32-core Epyc.

>"One of my big concerns about this incident is that people are going to conflate an on-the-spot binary assignment of fault with a broader evaluation of the performance of the automated driving system, the safety driver, and Uber's testing program generally,"

Self driving cars are currently in that state where they're always in accidents but never technically at fault. When individuals have this behavior patter their insurance company drops them because if they're so frequently present when shit hits the fan they're a time bomb from a risk perspective.

To be fair to BMW, and I’m not being facetious here, Tesla production isn’t economically viable either - and they’re probably further ahead than anyone. They lost $2.24 billion in 2017, with no end to the losses in sight. BMW is just being smart.
I was really careful on who to hire when it comes to getting an ethical hacker to help me hack into my fiance's phone after reading a lot about series of hackers i decided to give CYBERMESSIAH a try. From the very first day of getting to talk to him as they say "FIRST IMPRESSION LAST LONGER" I gave him a benefit of doubt i followed all instructions given and he did an incredible work. I was given a cloned phone that gives me free access to my fiance's phone apps and all her phone messages and calls all without trace. He advised on how to get my wife back and I can tell you we are very good friend now. All thanks to cybermessiah (dot) hack (at) gmail (dot) com for helping get back my partner. Y'all shouldn't hesitate to contact via text or email cybermessiah (dot) hack (at) gmail (dot) com (910) 420-5887if you have any hack issues. Trust me he will definitely make you smile.

Well, it has Cloud Act in it, so you could find it before asking here.
That’s the argument everyone uses (not just DNC), but as far as I know nobody refuted any of the emails as fake or doctored.
And remember that all this works only if you have local meetups or someone to network at your area at all. Living in major city provides a lot more opportunity for this than a small dying town countryside.
Put em all to Death, am i right!
I would be happy with laws clearly requiring a presidential candidate to disclose their full income taxes for the past 5 years, and also required them to put their assets into a blind trust / index fund when inaugurated into office. We should not have to question the president's basic motivations or allegiances.

Stronger anti-nepotism laws, restraints on the ability to pardon, and ending the electoral college also all seem helpful and would have bipartisan support.
Seeing the drug war become a bullet with which a government agency is shooting itself in the foot gives me an odd sort of pleasure.

I expect that even after laws catch up with reality, and prohibition ends, these reefer madness dinosaurs will continue to fight to get their bullet back.
> Unwritten cold war rules have gone out of the window.

Exactly. I think the US Govt failed to appreciate that Putin has been waging Cold War 2.0 for some time now. The scary thing is that he is clearly not playing by the old rules and is willing to push far beyond old boundaries.

The fact that he would so brazenly use a nerve agent in an assassination means we're well and truly in uncharted territory.
Wait, since when does Krita support Windows? Did they finally yank all the weird KDE dependencies so I can run it in an xfce environment? That would make me so happy...
Which mistake exactly? Note that the Power9 processor itself is single-sourced from IBM so they don't have to worry about clones.
> Note that as firefox isn't capable of suspending or resuming a computer

I think you misunderstood what I said.

Firefox isn't suspending or resuming the computer. I put the computer into hibernation explicitly and it hibernates which means the computer is consuming no power and is shut down. I can remove the battery and unplug it with no harm.

Upon powering the laptop back up, Firefox starts consuming 100% CPU utilization for 5-10 minutes consuming so much CPU time that the mouse stutters.

If I end task Firefox then the system becomes immediately responsive.
> "We have a sample size of 1..."

i'm not sure that's the right way to look at it (that uber is a sample of 1, or that the death is a sample of 1).

in this case, the metric is deaths per mile, so there are purportedly 3 million samples for uber self-driving cars, with one positive (negative?) result in that sample. you need so many samples because the positive observation rate is expected to be very low (as evidenced by the 1.18 deaths per 100 million miles driven by human drivers).

if you assume the death rate is roughly the same, you can (roughly) estimate the expected error or confidence interval with the 3 million sample size versus a 100 million known rate for human drivers. as more samples are gathered, the confidence interval gets tighter: if the confidence interval currently stands at 80% with 3 million samples (made up numbers), it might go up to 85% with 6 million samples.
> I don't want young people to use marijuana. It's against the law. We have a three-year ban on marijuana. I did not say that I'm going to change that ban. I said I have to grapple with the change in my workforce.

Do I think pot should be illegal because it already is illegal, and I'm appealing to an existing authority, or do I have a concrete argument as to why it should be illegal? Why should the opinion of any one man carry such weight for any reason other than the content of that man's opinion?

Making pot legal is the simplest way to solve the problem, because it turns an issue that needs to be solved into a non-issue. What are the consequences of pot legalization that are unbearable for this man?
You say "no worries about the future, or how you are going to eat when you retire, if you get to retire," and I pointed out that the number of the elderly in poverty has fallen off a cliff since your mythical golden age.

Well given what we know now about Cambridge Analytica and Trump Jr's contacts with Assange, it's pretty obvious that there was a deal. At the very first, a deliberate refusal to report to US intel that the Russians were in contact.
They are quite cool, but not great for everyone (as in the majority of world's population that BMWs and VWs of the world are targeting). Even living in SV I wouldn't buy a Tesla even if I wanted to -- nowhere to charge it at home, and a bit of a walk to the nearest charger from work.

And why should BMW et. al. sell something that isn't profitable? They aren't Tesla and can't just burn through capital. On the other hand, when it does become profitable I somehow think they will have something just as good out, it's not like Tesla had some incredible magic tech that nobody else does. And at least an electric BMW would not have a build quality of a beaten up Yugo like Tesla does.
MIPS was the thing in China... until it faded away. Then Power8 was the thing but it never shipped. Now we swear ARM is really the thing. Really for real this time.
FBI is shooting itself in the foot with these sort of policies. I can understand not wanting to hire someone smoking weed on the way to an interview, but in your spare time? What about all the law enforcement staff who abuse alcohol? Alcohol's been proven to be a more dangerous substance but Congress and the scheduling system are still opposite of the data.

They act like hiring those who occasionally partake in cannabis is somehow the equivalent of the army laxing physical requirements to enlist.

If he sued with representation this illustrates another point. His lawyer took on a stupid frivolous case, probably because he also needed the money.

I think the real problem is that people today are on an economic treadmill. That need to survive economically is what make people willing to put up with all the other things.
Talk about people that don't read enough outside of tech topics.

They have the same issues, but a different historical context for treating them.

In America, the first nation to be founded on a set of utilitarian guidelines, rather than random edict of a mad man claiming divine right, situations are codified in law

As the industrial changes of the last 100 years lead to exploitation, laws sprang up and needed tweaking.

I'm not saying it's perfect, but let me explain WHY these laws still exist and don't seem to change: because the public doesn't force the issue.

They think they can go to their job and change things, then realize every 50 years or so that really not much did, because the social order codified in law didn't change.

Google and Facebook aren't changing things; they're inventing new gadgets and bullshit. Change in human societies has ALWAYS come from the top-down administrative changes.
