Australian here. We didn't "ban firearms", we regulated them. I can get a license for a centrefire bolt-action rifle in about a month by filling in some paperwork and buying a safe, and unlicensed I'm allowed to shoot under the supervision of a license holder. There's a small-bore rifle range a 10 minute bike ride from my house and practically every farmer in the country owns a rifle or shotgun for pest control and a .22 for the kids.

It's important not to overstate what our actual laws are. We have provisions for agriculture, sport, hunting, security guards, etc. and these provisions are not very hard to navigate.
Shots fired at YouTube offices in California, casualties reported
So the US has a lower rate when you conveniently exclude a segment? Is that because you think suicide doesn't count because it's self inflicted? Would it surprise you to know many people who attempt suicide and survive later regret it, and many suicides could have been averted if a firearm wasn't readily available. I know a lot of people think someone who wants to kill them self can do so no matter what, but that simply isn't the case.
Thank you, it will be some comfort after this post has long been downvoted and dead.
> That's exactly the case. Just because numbers are going down doesn't make it any less of an epidemic.

'Epidemic' is usually used to refer to the rate of spread of something. This sort of hyperbole is exactly why it's hard to have honest or productive discussions about this topic.

> Suggesting people don't own assault rifles is not an "extreme reaction".

I would assert that it depends on whether or not you feel altering (or violating) the Bill of Rights is an "extreme reaction". Getting the USA constitution modified takes a lot of effort and is a big deal.
Numbers may agree, but the psychological factor also needs to be taken into account.

If you embed fear into peoples heart that their kids or family might get killed because of someone else when they are most vulnerable (schools, work place - places where we think we are safe) it is a different ball game.

If you see shootings in airports or malls, it ruins it for everyone.

SimplePay | Cape Town, South Africa | Ruby on Rails Developer | ONSITE VISA
https://www.simplepay.co.za

SimplePay is hiring mid-level to senior Ruby on Rails developers to help with our global expansion. We currently have clients in South Africa, Singapore and Ireland. We aim to delight customers with how simple we make payroll.

The role will be mostly back-end focused, with PostgreSQL as database. But some front-end skills will be a plus. Web development outside of Rails is also welcome, as long as you're happy to convert.

The most important part of the interview is an object oriented design exercise, which is also a test of problem-solving skills.

Visas: We can't point you in the right direction for getting a visa. You'll need 2 years of experience if you have a related qualification and more if you don't. The visa process does take at least 3 months, however.

Please mail careers@simplepay.co.za if you're interested, putting "Hacker News" in the subject line.
Yes, there are too many deaths from all of those things, except possibly the toothbrush thing.

Coming from a country where people don't have guns, I don't really see the problem with no guns. They're an awful public health risk. They have basically no advantages. Even for their use in suicide alone, they would be just as reasonable to ban as any commodity you could name - for instance, heroin, or dynamite, or crystal meth.
“I'm a female chef.  how my restaurant dealt with harassment from customers.”
I'm working with a team to create a consensus-based distributed alert system for emergencies [1], and as horrible as shootings are (having personally been stuck in the middle of mass panic due to a gun threat I can say it's insanely frightening), providing spatial and statistical tools to display, model, and alert dangerous events like shootings will be critical in helping reduce response times and increase assistance to victims, as well as figure out commonalities between events. It's interesting to see Google try to tackle that problem through augmenting emergencies over Google maps.

Our photogrammetry generation machine has 64GB of RAM and this is much MUCH lower than we want. Most of our models crash we try to generate them on 16- and 32-GB RAM machines; the workflow for our target quality/size models has 64GB as an absolute floor.

We'd also like a few TB of VRAM as well, but that's another order of magnitude expense...

Skeleton Rendezvous hashing Node.js module
It’s already happening, and it’s less of a problem than I thought it would be. Some of my playlists are 200+ tracks. A few songs go missing from time to time. I can never remember which tracks have gone, I just know something’s missing as the flow from song to song is off.

It’s extremely irritating, but not enough to make me go elsewhere as I can’t see any other service not having the same problem.
Those are per capita figures. What are you talking about?
I don't think you can do this safely without having a security person on board. And there's a chance they'll try to ship a real crypto library in the Electron app.

I'll give it a shot though, some things that come to mind:

* RFC6979 ECDSA or bust

* Have you considered off-curve attacks for that ECDH?

* How do you authenticate your symmetric ctexts?

Thanks for this.

Reusing already-prominent acronyms gets really confusing although I know often it's unintentional.

Many Americans won't know who the IRA were/are, but in the UK (and probably the rest of Europe) it's common knowledge and burnt in.
That would explain it. I do my photo browsing by time, not by search.

I've _tried_ searching in Google Photos before, it just didn't work reliably enough for me try it more frequently (usually searching for more specific stuff than something like "pets with children," though I can't recall any exact examples right now). Searching for location works well, but that's not very hard.
You're comparing two different numbers. The parent is referring to net firearm crimes while the data you cited is "mass shooting deaths".

If you check CDC data through 2016 (https://wonder.cdc.gov), the non-suicide firearm-related death rate is effectively flat for the date range they have data for, varying at most by about 0.1%.
> First off, the term assault rifle probably isn’t what you think you’re referring to.

It probably doesn't mean what I think, either, yet we're all still perfectly capable of understanding GP's point.

> Second, the reason effective conversations can’t be had on gun control is because of how emotional and out of touch the anti-gun crowd gets. A lot of this is due to activists and the media riling people up.

I don't think it's intellectually honest to blame it all on "anti-gun crowd", especially since we're talking about a highly heterogeneous group. It would be equally dishonest to just blame it all on "pro-gun crowd" being overly emotional and riled up by NRA.

> Gun owners are all about safety and personal responsibility, and many do support sensible gun control laws.

I'm sure all gun owners are all about safety and personal responsibility, just as much as every gun-control activist is for banning all guns.

Here's an interesting question: if so many gun owners really do support sensible gun control laws, how come this country hasn't had sensible gun control laws put in place to deal with this problem? And let's not pretend it's not a problem, either.

> Nothing can be done unless people start taking a rational, sober approach to these issues.

I completely agree. A rational, sober approach to these issues does not go down the path of laying blame exclusively on one side of the debate, no matter which side that is.
>I would assert that it depends on whether or not you feel altering (or violating) the Bill of Rights is an "extreme reaction". Getting the USA constitution modified takes a lot of effort and is a big deal.

No, it doesn't mean that at all. It just means that we interpret the 2nd amendment differently. There is clear precedence for limits on arms ownership. It's just a question of where they should be.
I don't see which 512 bit MAC you're referring to. I'm referring to the chunked encryption scheme 'dchest mentioned.
"I think Microsoft is so many years behind Google in search that they have little hope of catching up"

I can think of more examples.

I agree, and Microsoft is a good example, that a paradigm shift can totally change the playing field. A desktop software oriented company like Microsoft couldn't or wouldn't take their dominance into an internet oriented market.

However Google has managed to transition to mobile and demonstrated they can manage such changes.

From what I've seen of fuchsia they're thinking ahead again.
Come spend some time with gun owners here in the states, and you won’t see a problem with people owning guns either.

If you have a modern version of Python, you can do:

import secrets
secrets.token_bytes() # returns a randomized token

You can pass in the number of bytes you want, but I would think it would be better to rely on the default (presently 256 bit). This module is intended for cryptographic purposes. There are also helper functions to get a hex string or a URL safe string back.

Is this statistic different other statistics about homicides and other forms of death?

- domestic violence that results in homicide
- homicides in prison
- automobile related deaths
- drug overdoses
- suicides

I think most people would agree that life is precious and should be preserved. I'm not sure most people would agree that we could get any of the above statistics to zero.
The article you linked seems to make reference only to school shootings, while the article posted in response to you doesn’t limit itself in such a way.

But even the mass shootings aren't making the news. There are loads of "4 or more people shot" that get almost no coverage.

And the fact that "2 people killed" doesn't count as a mass shooting is weird.

Undoubtedly true, though good luck passing this by an IRB. The goals of preserving brain state at time of death and learning about the brain from a science perspective are not fully aligned. There's a dot product there, but enough orthogonality that it's duplicitous to sell people a brain preservation service if the true goal is science.

The UK and parts of Europe have suffered mass killings and terrorism with higher casualty rates per capita than mass killings in the US. Still, they are statistically tiny and do not automatically imply that it is not worth living in the UK or EU.
I've not nearly as much experience developing these systems, so getting started without types was a bit daunting. I wrapped my Lambda functions in protobufs and used a shared common definition repository. Then the lambda services support either the JSON rep of the protos or full-on binary protos, and the type checking happens on both ends. Curious what y'all think of this as a solution.

>but the academic world has perhaps gone too far in focusing on this aspect and too little on making sure that the created knowledge is applied.

Okay, now I understand the point. But why is it necessarily the responsibility of a researcher to find industry applications? The industry has to figure out which portions of these ideas can be realistically turned into applications or products based on market criteria. Of course industry can and often does contribute papers to further our knowledge. And when they do invest in doing research they're probably going to be motivated to find applications.

> It's the current academic world that is in crisis. With the H-index as its ultimate false god. The H-index exists only since 2005. Why should I not be allowed to criticize that? If the system is still good, it will survive the criticism.

I was using 'don't get to' as a rhetorical device. In my view it was like walking up to Usain Bolt and telling him how to fix the problems with his form cause hes doing it all wrong. Sure, you can do that, but most people won't take you seriously. Or in other words, simply being able to identify surface level problems, doesn't mean much without a ton of analysis, explanations, etc, etc. But yeah, obviously you can opine on any subject you like, and people too have the freedom to respond.
Even conceding that point, so what? There are probably fewer cases of workplace sexual harassment than there were 20 years ago. That doesn't mean people shouldn't be vehement about ending them altogether.
That seem plausible to me, but aren't memory pretty tightly integrated into the design in a modern processor? How would you be able to take advantage of the additional RAM?

Second question, do modems exist that could handle the bandwidth of existing designs?

It seems like something that would be extraordinarily expensive, and there wouldn't be much of a benefit considering Intel doesn't have competition on this front.
Agree - would love to connect some data warehouse services. (Seems Spark & Drill are not hosted, but a customer could run those in a compute provider.)

SlicingDice worked for me. Are you still getting an offline page?
True but cryptocurrency is not particularly anonymous once you're buying physical goods that need to be shipped to an individual. Imagine how useful the blockchain would be to Amazon if they knew the addresses of all their customers wallets (which they would surely collect) and the addresses of all their competitors wallets. They could see where their customers shop and micro-target deals.

I like the GNU Taler model mentioned in the article where the payer decides whether they want to be identified, but the payee is always identifiable. Combine this with a crypto-signed receipt from the payee and you have a system that better respects privacy.
Most of my money is spent on rent or online shopping.

Do people really have that much opportunity to spend cash? And for those opportunities, isn't the 2% tax a fairly reasonable price to pay for the safety of never needing to carry cash around and the convenience of never needing to go to an ATM or run out of cash?

I imagine petty theft crime has dropped significantly in large part because people stopped carrying cash.

I've never tried Sails, but I'll note that it has a very bad reputation in the node community for many years, with particular scorn heaped on its poor documentation, many bugs, slow development pace, and (especially) its truly bad ORM.

Representative criticism: https://kev.inburke.com/kevin/dont-use-sails-or-waterline/

Or see the comments here: https://github.com/balderdashy/sails/issues/3429

Now admittedly that was three years ago, much may have changed, and this release may be amazing, but I'd suggest doing some due diligence. I've run across 6+ different projects regretting their use of Sails; I've yet to run across someone celebrating their decision. The project is troubled and probably on no one's list of "top 3 node js frameworks".

That's surprisingly good considering the number of guns in circulation and ease of obtaining them in general.
I'm sure there are many nice, reasonable gun owners. If I lived in the states, I'd probably buy a gun myself - I think they're cool.

On the other hand, as a reasonable, intelligent adult who reads and understands statistics, I can say without any doubt they are awful for the USA as a whole. So, just like I'd ban leaded gas, selling alcohol to ten year-olds, and driving drunk, I'd ban guns. There are many, many less harmful things to go full-libertarian on than machines designed to kill people.

You're right it's part of a huge conspiracy by the media to inform us that people are dying. Why newspapers and cable news would seek to inform people of current events remains a mystery, but it seems awfully suspicious.
Some users, sure. Maybe 10% of all people that look at Youtube videos about new phones will care enough to make it part of their decision. But they're a small minority of everyone that buys phones.

There's even an implementation for high-assurance systems like INTEGRITY-178B supplied by Objective Interface:

There are many responses to the various arguments that the article employs, some more reasonable than others, but really the thing that stuck with me was that this is the worst plot I have seen used unironically in 2018:

Here is what the EFF says: "[Stringrays] can also intercept metadata (such as information about calls made and the amount of time on each call), the content of unencrypted phone calls and text messages and data usage (such as websites visited). Additionally, marketing material indicates that they can be configured to divert calls and text messages, edit messages, and even spoof the identity of a caller in text messages and calls." [1]

This is what the FBI and NSA love. They never try to protect the American public from such weaknesses in the country's infrastructure, although that is what they are supposed to be doing. All so they can spy on everybody, feed illegal parallel-construction activities, and generally nurture the growth of a police state; it is also clear by now that these agencies have been interfering with national politics. These are not friends of our freedoms.

The big edge the SWAT guys have is armor and shields, and sometimes armored vehicles, along with enough tactical training to use them. This lets them survive getting close enough to do something. Regular cops have guns too, but that's not enough. The Parkland shooting had an armed sheriff's deputy in the school, but he wasn't armored up to take on someone with an assault rifle.
