> If you think the real solution is to change the way the world thinks about, and judges, everyone else then you're being remarkably naive.

This isn't a response, it's an insult. Two well educated, equally experienced people can come two two seperate conclusions, without one being "naive". Try and argue always assuming that the person your taking to is equally intelligent as you.

Regardless, treating the symptom (Search engines displaying old news stories) of the problem (people judging others irrationally), without treating the problem itself will only cause equally bad, if not worse, issues to pop up elsewhere. The vast majority of times a state censors information, it ends up being harmful far past what was initially intended (the red scare/McCarthyism, DMCA, FOSTA, SOPA/PIPA, etc).
And debit cards don't use chip and pin? What's the distinction here?

I recently got a new debit card which has the usual (European) chip and pin - but also annoyingly has contactless payment (aka "leech my money"). Sadly the only way to opt out might be to switch banks...
I used to think so, too. Over the winter, though, someone here on HN pointed me towards Beaker Browser and Dat. (For a completely unrelated problem. Turns out, it works pretty well as a solution to this problem, too.)

It seems likelier that a P2P web based on Dat (or something like it) will gain adoption in the large before getting embedded devices manufacturers (a) to willingly take on the role required here, and (b) to get it right, which are each big asks on their own. There's also the hidden third problem (c): getting the masses to actually go out and upgrade a piece of hardware that would actually support this kind of thing. It's a lot easier to just download a new browser (or an update for their current browser) and sign up for a service that will act as an always-on peer on your behalf—for exactly the same reason that the centralization of the Web happened in the first place.

In what way is this deceptive? When you delete emails do you expect it to disappear from the other person's inbox as well?
That's a bit disingenuous to say. A lot of policies are complex and a 10-second google search is unlikely to bring you anywhere near competence from willful ignorance.

Consider, for example, the science on minimum wage experiments performed in different cities and at different time intervals. The outcomes are conflicting in some cases and, perhaps, are not reproducible elsewhere.

How can we expect a layman to really understand the effect a policy may have, especially 20 years down the line? That's something even experts struggle with.

> Edit: Also, hopefully we as a society should be looking to reduce, not increase a trade where a human being has to sell themselves like a piece of meat.

That's basically the argument against capitalism and wage-labor, sure. But, strangely, many people cheering shuttering prostitution marketplaces are quite happy maintaining and exacerbating conditions in which the bulk of the population is economically coerced to sell themselves like a piece of meat, they just prefer making conditions worse for those who don't have much to sell that is valued by anyone with the means to buy other than sex.
They're not mutually exclusive. And anyways, given the option of improving a tool/legislation vs improving the nature of human judgement, I will always take the former.
I'd recommend not linking to that series of posts. The author is a hothead and generally disliked by the entire electronics community.

Well, it's also that human trafficking works under cover of these services hiding as legitimate sex work.

But yeah, it's made a LOT worse by the lack of empathy, compassion, and understanding (not to mention puritanical notions) people have towards sex work.
Backpage.com taken offline as part of an enforcement action, officials say
Maybe your sense of "much" is thrown off by not-to-scale visualizations. Space is big, even near-earth space is bigger than the entire surface Earth.

These 1500 satellites are probably, on average, the size of a van. Is 1500 vans distributed on surface of the earth "much"? These SpaceX / Starlink satellites are considerably smaller - about the size of an oven or washing machine. What does it mean for 4500 ovens spread out over the surface of the earth to be "much"?

Hm, that doesn't help. I guess that's their way of trying to avoid knock-offs of their kits but it definitely takes the fun out of trying to figure out how things work if that part is pushed into some kind of black box.

But it is also a sign of the times, rather than having a bunch of logic the quickest way to get some project off the ground is to tie the i/o to a microcontroller and solve the remainder of the problem in software.
The problem is, they passed a bunch of legal changes recently under the guise of "Well, it is because Backpage cannot be brought to Justice."

And now, well, "Oh yeah we had the power all along" which is what your comment is stating as your belief.

That is why your claims about spin are problematic to me. You are ignoring the background of the situation to make a very narrow claim about "spin" when the claims of "spin" are about the laws they passed citing Backpage.
The "right to be forgotten" applies to all search engines, and possibly other types of business as well. Google just happens to be the first company to get into trouble about it.
> the legislation that was recently passed that apparently is empowering this seizure

The legislation that recently passed both Houses of Congress hadn't been signed or gone into effect yet, and had no bearing on the seizure (except to the extent that the seizure may have been delayed to advance the propaganda that the law was needed to deal with actors like Backpage.)
Backpage.com and affiliated websites have been seized
Yes sir, it certainly does.
The recent 700 series drive from Intel—the 760p—is pretty good in terms of power consumption. The older 750 was, like the Optane 900P, a large power-hungry card based on their enterprise SSDs and never intended to be used in mobile systems. Intel has on many occasions re-purposed their enterprise SSD tech to make a premium SSD for the consumer market, but that strategy has some downsides.

It's good in theory but in practice you'd need to spend a lot of time and money doing deep audits yourself, both hardware and software. That just really isn't a worthwhile investment for the vast, vast, majority of people.

At the end of the day it all still boils down to trust based on reputation, incentives and oversight. Openness is important but no panacea.
That's not the case for some of the people being advertised in Backpage.

No they don't. They explicitly don't apply to journalism. That's the entire point of this. Right to be forgotten laws don't allow you to censor the intercept (a publication), but do allow you to force aggregators to remove the publication.

That's why people try to get things delisted from Google, because they can't get the original publisher to remove them.

Its proponents will tell you this doesn't have any tracking in it. Fully anonymous. Only the advert's ID gets passed along to track conversion.

Who knows who could have clicked this advert, with the ID "Advert-presented-to-ugh123"? Could have been anyone. We've successfully masked out any tracking, hooray for Apple.

Also I don't know enough about in-app and app-to-app advertising, but I'm surprised if the mechanisms described are sufficient to keep everybody honest.

This is a data point of one, and I am certainly not implying that there is only one kind diet that works for everyone, but:

Every time I've lost a significant amount of weight (currently at -70 lbs from my peak) it's because I have drastically reduced sugar/carbohydrate content---while continuing to guzzle aspartame-based diet soda like water.

So either:
1.) I'm an outlier,
2.) These results are only relevant to saccharine sweeteners, and not aspartame,
3.) These results are bunk, like so many other nutritional studies,
or,
4.) Low carbohydrate intake offsets any negative effects
> The truth is, your modern "no porn" movement isn't coming from the religious right anymore.

Former NoFap people frequently claim it's a literal cult.

A quick Google search brings up a lot of NoFap posts about church and God, with anti-masturbation rhetoric that looks exactly like the religious movements that have been around for decades.

It would be very, very surprising if they weren't actively encouraging and manipulating the NoFap people for their own selfish reasons.

In any case, what does that have to do with the government blatantly targeting and harassing people exercising their right to free speech? That seems to be what you're suggesting you're OK with.

Or are you somehow convinced that Jeff Sessions & friends would selectively target parts of the porn industry with actual ties to sex trafficking, and leave some segment of the porn industry alone? No chance, their motivations have absolutely nothing to do with fighting sex trafficking.
Visual Studio Roadmap (April – Sept 2018)
I saw downthread a link to someone talking about how you can already treat the standard collections as values. Has a good argument for how it can be beneficial to keep the same interface regardless. Has a good concession that there are definitely use cases where persistent collections make sense. I'd imagine they are not as common as one could expect. (I grant they are also likely more common than I expect. :) )

The context is obviously shared concurrency (hence the library using Arc period), so you can cheaply get a shared immutable structure and manipulate it on your side (without sharing it back), and if necessary share/swap it in at some point, they provide cheap read/copy/update cycles.

With regular collections Rust would preclude misuses but that would still require either deep copies upfront or fairly large exclusive critical sections.

Well, look at cat’s eyes (sometimes called Botts’ dots in the US, I think?)

I assume they’re more expensive to install than just painting a few lines, but they’re very robust and long-lasting, and they’re fantastic for human drivers. It’s not a stretch to imagine something similarly useful for computerized cars, that links to a standard road database.

Hacking is a risk, sure. I envisage you’d lock it down by having a cryptographically signed master map; if the observed beacons diverge from the map, the autopilot system would refuse to proceed. (OK, I guess that allows a DoS attack at least.)

There are already laws against sex trafficking, associating it with porn is a fallacious analogy and weakens the effort preventing sex trafficking immensely.

The same type of people that use that logic also want to surveil everything you do like you are a criminal 'for the children' or 'for your safety'.

It is a trojan horse that is falsely tarnishing one thing by associating it with a truly bad thing.

False analogies are bad like all people with guns are part of school shootings and it is their fault, or people that look at porn are supporting sex trafficking, or people that don't want to be surveilled are hiding something. You probably do some things that someone used for bad somewhere, should you stop doing it because they did something bad with it?

Civil rights and protections are important because of this attitude by authoritarian people.

Eventually there will be no freedoms left if somewhere somebody uses something for bad rather than good so everyone loses that right.
Such an effort is not necessary, because countless studies have shown a clear link between prostitution and the modern slave trade. There is a reason that most modern abolitionist groups target sex trafficking - it’s all too common. It’s inevitable that where you find sex workers in any number, you will find sex slaves.

A year or two ago I built dropbear on Power MachTen, worked great and just needed a couple fixes to bring it back into compatibility with GCC 2.x.

Playing around with Professional MachTen (for 68k) is a real trip though. 4.3BSD, an even older GCC, and it implements virtual memory and protection by taking over the system memory manager. (You actually have to restart when quitting it)

It would be so cool to have something like MachTen on iOS, some people have tried but the restrictions on executable pages really restricts things.

I built a product with an embedded rpi and dealt with this same problem. The solution was to purchase "industrial" SD cards. I ended up using ATP micro SD cards. You can find them on Digikey. They are almost double the price, but I have not had a single SD corruption since switching to them.

In my experience the samsung SD cards would be corrupted when the power was pulled around 30% of the time.

Depends on what you mean by "doing this." Having them in a lower orbit means smaller equipment required to connect, lower latency compared to connecting to satellites in GEO, and smaller lower power satellites. To get those benefits they have to be close which means more satellites for full coverage.

Also it's not like even this particular orbit will be full when SpaceX is done at 1150 km orbit the 4425 satellites would each have a bit over 80,000 km^2 to themselves on average if they're spread out evenly.

Haven't RTFA, but my judging that the link is Andrew Desantis's fork I'd guess there's interest by the submitter in gauging interest in his Deos project which leverages the darwin kernel.

I feel like one may have to understand his preferences towards bitcoin, libertarianism, etc. though to truly get the deos vision to discern whether it's actually a better solution or a sleight of hand. I don't follow desantis or the bitcoin community closely enough to know.
> Backpage is being targetted because it actively facilitated the kidnapping, drugging, and raping of children.

It's being accused of that, but it was probably targeted merely because it facilitated prostitution; MyRedbook.com was previously seized by the Justice Department, without any accusation of knowingly facilitate anything other than adult consensual sex trade (there were claims to the media by incestigators that “massage parlors” pimping minors used the site, but not that the site operators were knowingly facilitating that.)

Some thoughts from someone who recently became an "old" person. Around turning 50 I suddenly realized that my life will probably be always somewhat similar to what it is now. The big ambitions and dreams are gone so I don't feel that much pressure to achieve anymore. Also at that age the options to change one's life are pretty limited compared to being in your 20s. Which makes me much more content compared to when I was younger. I have also accepted that I will die some day.

I don't think younger people should adopt that mindset necessarily. It's good to have ambition while you are young but maybe you shouldn't listen too much to other people. In the end being young is hard. There are so many options for living your life but there is no way to tell which one will be right for you. So there is a lot of luck involved. Some people pick the right path. Many don't.
