> Is it not true? What did they do in response to an active shooter? They called the police and SWAT -- people with guns

Qualified people with guns (ideally).
Police descend on YouTube headquarters amid active shooter reports
You'd still need to hide if you happened to have a gun in the event that you don't, I don't know, want to get shot.

A gun is a weapon, not armor.
In my personal experience people of all races love cheese and brats from Wisconsin.
Maybe the decoy buses angered some folks?

Secret service? Might as well get the DoD to task some reapers for overwatch at all their corporate upstream collection facilities…
Professional people who are formally trained to use guns in situations involving other people who have guns.

It's both funny and sad that you think that being a SWAT member boils down to "here is a gun".
And if the assailant didn't have a gun, you also would not need to hide from an active shooter.
Absolutely. Someone's response to a high-stress work environment, an affair of the heart gone wrong, latent psychological issues... the "merely mundane" possibilities that could happen anywhere are still plenty realistic. Shit happens.
This list includes the base model CPU in the 2009, 2010, and 2012 Mac Pros, as well as some of the BTO upgrades. I'm disappointed, but not surprised.

The 2012 Mac Pros, in particular, were still being sold less than 5 years ago, so this means it's still officially supported by Apple. I wonder if there's some awkward conversations happening between the two companies about that.

Fortunately, it's possible to upgrade the CPU in a Mac Pro to a newer part which is still supported by Intel.
I've recently moved to wire after looking for a chat app capable of exactly this. It's quite good, sync is fast an effective and even group calling is acceptable.

Only problem is that it currently doesn't allow you to send yourself stuff, making it less useful than telegram was...
Try the Pieter Hintjens psycopath book. Overlook that he uses a non-clinical use of the word psycopath. Pretend he instead wrote vampire, and read for the content. He gives strategies that do not involve leaving, and that seek to build you to a position of strength so your antagonist has to bend. (I have not had cause to test any of it, so no annecdotal endorsements herr)
Ah, cool. Thanks.
People who are specifically trained in the use of guns as a group in responding to active shooter situations.

Not just "people with guns".

Is one of them Juno? https://github.com/kadena-io/juno. If so, I was lead eng on it so let me know if you have any questions.

FYI we're hiring haskell devs to work on our private consensus layer (based off of Juno), our public consensus protocol (http://kadena.io/docs/chainweb-v15.pdf) and our smart contract language https://github.com/kadena-io/pact + formal verification system. hiring+hn@kadena.io.
Yeah, even requiring users to _send_ messages probably isn't enough to prevent spam. But that's assuming something like the example I imagined, someone wanting to received encrypted messages from anonymous others.

If a user's address is private tho, then asking them to pay to receive messages should be as sensible as the degree to which they protect the distribution of their address.
Just use TLS.

To quote a little bit more from that 'cperciva article:

> If you're distributing client code which speaks to a server you operate, there is no need to use SSL; instead, you can distribute the server's public RSA key (or its hash) along with the client code, and "bootstrap" the security process that way. I do this in FreeBSD for the FreeBSD Update and Portsnap services, and I also do this in Tarsnap. It's simple; it works; and it's secure.

I'm sure cperciva knows how to start from a hardcoded RSA key and end with a secure wire protocol. The spirit of the document is damage control: prevent less broken software. There's a hell of a lot more in TLS than an RSA key. There are a lot of ways you get from "RSA" to "wire protocol" and not a lot of them are any good.

If you control both ends and you want to be fancy, use TLS with one secure ciphersuite and a hardcoded CA, that's fine.

More progressive campuses use "Active Harmer" because it may be a crazy person with a machete instead of a gun.

The rates for Danish MobilePay were easy to find [1], and are flat, under 30-75 ears [2] depending on volume. I'd guess that's around 0.5-1%, but I don't have much idea.

I'm reminded of the 'hybrot' experiments where rat brain cells in a nutrient solution are allowed to wire up their own neural network on top of electrodes that send and receive data wirelessly from a robot body [https://www.technologyreview.com/s/401756/rat-brained-robot/]

The question of doing something similar with a strata running a human brain doesn't seem impossible, just extremely technologically daunting when one considers the sheer number of connections into and out of the physical brain.

what determines the conductance of the synapse is mostly the number AMPA/NMDA receptors in the synapse for excitatory and GABAa/GABAb for inhibitory. Then there's neuromodulation, g-coupled receptors etc etc. it's clearly not straightforward.

It's an axiom of American political discourse that any argument to restrict guns is logically equivalent to an argument to proliferate guns.
> A law could be passed tomorrow requiring that all of our personal data be erased.

Such a law would be politically viable in only the most enlightened of governments and societies. Which goes back to the parent's point of "strong institutions, informed citizens, stable economies, and all the usual boring social reform stuff".
This is crazy and I hope everyone is OK. Its worth pointing out that Snapchat's heat map is pretty useful for getting insights in situations like these.

A website targeted at liberating your data from Facebook, and it's running on Google AMP... nice.

I know they're not equivalent in any way, but some consideration for the audience might be expected given the general topic of the day.
The author seems to be entirely ignorant about the reasons why this style of argumentation is required in court cases — it's because, by presenting all the arguments at the beginning, we can prevent legal cases from dragging on over decades or centuries, resolving them in mere years, or even less in some cases. As several commenters have pointed out, if you do not raise an argument when you are initially presenting your arguments, you cannot then introduce it when the judge or jury rules against you, essentially necessitating a new trial.

Also, they seem to want to take not just trichloroethylene but also formaldehyde and styrene off the market entirely, because they are toxic. Formaldehyde, aside from its direct uses for things like glues and tissue preservation, is one of the most basic chemicals in the chemical industry, and although it's undeniably toxic, its lethal dose is around 100 mg/kg, so you need several grams of it to kill someone. If we outlawed the sale of all substances with this level of toxicity (or greater), not only would we no longer have a chemical or drug industry, we would also be outlawing most spices.

In view of the catastrophic effects their favored policies would have, the dangerous level of ignorance behind this article should be a call to attention for us. How can we ensure that the voices of people like this are excluded completely from the process of policymaking? Clearly it would be disastrous for this person to have any influence over regulatory regimes that affect other people, and indeed they may even be a danger to themself — like the woman who decided to surgically remove her own silicone breast implants.
Holy cow, dask looks useful
The trouble with cashless is when someone in power decides they don't like you, they can just turn it off for you.

I've had accounts and credit cards frozen before. It's pretty alarming when you're traveling, for example. With cashless, what are you going to do?

It's like getting stuck on the "no-fly" list, but infinitely worse.

Active Shooter at YouTube Building in California
Wouldn't be surprised if it's because of the recent idiotic rules YouTube has started to impose on any gun content.

Of course it doesn't help sway opinion but I can see how it could have triggered someone to act.
> Resources that are wasted on stuff that we don't need is directly taken from other better places that those resources could have been spent on.

The vast majority of people have skills and are employed in areas other than housing, food, transportation, healthcare, clothing, and education. What would they all do in a world where nobody bought massages or luxury vehicles or hair dye or designer clothes or airplanes or tasting menus?

Would you have all the artists and marketers retrain as farmers and green energy researchers? Would people really be happier in this hypothetical ultra-efficient future of such limited career choices?
Definitely. Nearly all lone shootings have reports of multiple gunmen because it is just so chaotic.
Backblaze has two facilities, one in California and one in Arizona. They're limited to anyone who can reach their network edge through a network port in their datacenters, but theoretically, you could ride fiber to their network ports from other facilities.

I would expect that as this grows (and it will, cheap, reliable storage and all), their network footprint would extend into more facilities (scale is required for this to be cost effective though).

Latency is not an issue until you're pushing GB/sec and crossing an ocean, and even that is feasible (lots of resources at https://es.net/ for that use case).
It is likely an iteration on cadaver plastination, wherein tissues are infused with plastic to preserve their structure. This is what enables those "Bodies" exhibitions that show actual human cadavers that have been plastinated, posed, and dissected to show anatomical details.

If you preserve the structure of the brain well enough, you can scrape it down in micrometer-thick layers and progressively photograph the visible surfaces in sufficient detail to reconstruct a map of all neural connections. Combine this with a working model of a neuron, a physics model for chemical diffusion, and knowledge of how living neurons respond to certain chemicals typically found in the brain or those that can cross the blood-brain barrier, and you can simulate a human consciousness inside a computer.

It won't be you, but it will think it was you. That's almost the same thing as what happens every time you wake up in the morning.

Also, in order to avoid frequently resetting the simulation due to insanity, you probably also need a virtual world that simulates realistic inputs through the sensory nerves.

The technology is plausible, particularly if you are a Kurzweilian or transhumanist. Some may feel more comfortable with "Ship of Theseus"-style gradual migration of an organic brain into digital computer via implantation of technology devices with neuron-computer interfaces. But since we aren't as close to that, injecting your dead brain with epoxy is the closest you can get now to not being dead and gone forevermore.

Note that the necessary knowledge for digitizing a preserved brain is likely centuries away, but that doesn't matter if you can preserve your brain to remain unchanged for centuries. To the new entity that can remember being you and likes all the same things you like, it will be like waking up in the future. And hopefully, you left some money for AI civil rights in your will, so it won't be a digitized slave toiling away on the pattern recognition plantations.

Yup -- that's exactly what the end solution was. Unfortunately reaching out to those 20 users and saying "hey, could you be judicious about which federated rooms you join? otherwise you're gonna hose us all" kinda sucks.

You seem to know an awful lot about this specific case, and I'll defer to you on that. I know about the general case, technically speaking (though merely a DNS hobbyist).

However, having a business relationship with another organization is not a right. Hate speakers are not a protected class.

DNS does not operate in the same manner nor with the same assumptions. One can obviously run their own DNS resolver as has been pointed out repeatedly in this thread.

Please list the, "pro-pedophilia and ISIS web sites." hosted by Cloudflare?

Edit: There's probably a business opportunity for a registrar/DNS provider/host that operates under 'free speech purism,' though it's hard to say it won't go the way of usenet in that regard.
Enveloppe encryption (what you are describing) is absolutely the way to go, but the caveats described in the document for key generation and symmetric encryption apply.

Yes. The one in particular I heard about was one of their ambient playlists, where an artist called "Deep Watch" (whom nobody had heard of previously) was supposedly placed into the playlist to avoid having to pay the artists that would otherwise take that place.
I don't know about Sweden, but in Copenhagen the only times I've seen a queue at a cash machine is the one nearest Christiania, i.e. where cannabis (and more) is sold.

And the cream on top: the white collar worker living in a shoebox is paying 40% income taxes while the estate owner has no taxable income, despite buying a few new $100k+ cars per year. And the government "doesn't see" any of this happening.
Reports of “guy in full body armor”. Keep this in mind later to see if it’s true.

Usually it isn’t.
Yep, but depends on your use case.

E.g. "I have an API key and I want it encryptedly available to some servers, and engineers to be able to roll but not read the cred", KMS directly with a CMK is great. Otherwise: that's what the rest of the bulk encryption and key generation recommendations are for; get a DEK, use NaCl's secretbox or whatever.

DEK sharding strategies depend on your data model so that gets a little tricky to provide good advice for in this document but that's something we help clients with, sure :)
Dude no, this isn't cool. Rethink how you react to this kind of stuff.

Concur. I found Gradle to be to far removed from the truth so to speak. I like Maven's declarative xml and its promulgation of the build life-cycle. This makes a complex build easier to maintain in the long run imo.
If Intel doesn't come through consistently across the board, regardless of "contractual obligations", people are going to be looking at Apple's rumored transition away from Intel all the more favorably.

And yes, by saying this, in part I'm hoping to put it into people's minds. And, if there's enough of that, into pressure on Intel.

P.S. My concern extends to what may happen to coverage if/when succeeding rounds of fixes are needed. In general, we don't appear to be done with this class of problem in extant products.

Not that Apple's "the solution". But lack of support will prompt people to consider alternatives.

A lot of submissions have overlap with the politics of the moment, but that doesn't mean the discussion should cross straight into that. On the contrary, we should mostly resist doing so.

On HN, the idea is to focus on the diffs, not rush into the shallow hotness that makes all discussions the same. Repetition isn't interesting.
Police respond to “active shooter situation” at YouTube's headquarters
Maybe more importantly, uniformed people with guns. In an active shooter situation, people in plain clothes are all suspects and suspects holding guns get shot.
I use Chromium, not Chrome, but it doesn't matter. Software vendors should not be allowed to do this.

Imagine if you hired an electrician but he would secretly go across your house and searched everything to get rid of bugs (at least that's what he said). Would you like that?

If you advertise your app as a browser then it should not secretly scan files.

I certainly don't mean to throw any shade on the project -- if anything, the RAM utilization was less of a surprise for me than being bound to single-core performance by default. Sure, it's possible to split Synapse up into workers, but it definitely feels like there's some voodoo involved (my first attempt at setting just a Synchroton worker failed miserably this week)
Spark is slow though. On the other hand, Pandas is also extraordinarily slow :D
I own an AR15 and a shotgun. Law enforcement is the right call for rapid response versus someone like myself with limited range time.

I don't care about your credentials; if you have actual training, that's what matters. Your average civilian has almost no training, therefore law enforcement is the preferred response. Can you prove training without credentials? Certainly, but we're not all going to the range together to see who we are and aren't going to trust to respond to active shooters.
But that's just the thing, you aren't limited so much by time and cost. The time is proportional to the size of what you're printing, and the cost to the amount of materials and time involved. None of which says much about what the design must look like. You design it on the computer, look at in 3D on the screen as much as you like, and print a scaled model, if you must.

You don't need to print up a full-scale prototype anymore than you would do that with a traditional design and construction technique.
This wouldn't make much of an impact because the statistical distribution of music listening time has an extremely long tail, i.e. the most popular songs are far more popular than even other very popular songs. In a given market, something like 90% of listening time will come from the top few hundred tracks, and 99% will come from the first couple thousand. Those top couple thousands tracks are already well-served by alternative distribution channels (youtube, "indie" labels, etc), so there isn't much room for disruption there. Starting a service to fight for that 1% of listening time will not move the needle.

source: I used to work in the data side of the music industry.
I think heavier taxes and more limits would be a better approach rather than a ban. Similar to smoking. In America we used to have to go to special stores only open certain hours. Alcohol is everywhere now, grocery stores, commercials, etc. Ideally there is a middle ground between prohibition and ubiquitous.

America has a pretty big obsession with thinking that they would be the hero in this situation if only they were there and had a gun.

The average gun owner (hell, the average police officer probably) is in no way prepared for an active shooting situation. It's a fantasy to think you'd be the one to stop it.

At some point as as community need to recognize that we're grossly out of touch with how people outside our bubble use computers. Browsers are the #1 consumer attack target and have been plagued with all forms of malware since before IE6 -- malicious plugins, extensions, DLL hacks, history harvesting, apps that override settings to push adware.

It's not that surprising that browsers are trying to go on the defensive, Firefox shipped extension signing and Google is trying an active scanner.

It sucks for our bubble but that's ignoring the huge number of people with horribly infected browsers that are about to be cleaned of malware.
