You are still arguing against human nature.

Give yourself a scenario - you have two equal candidates:

a) background check clean, no google results
b) background check lists sealed conviction, no google results

you'll choose?

now another:

a) background check clean, no google results
b) background check lists sealed conviction, google results says he stole some cookies

you'll choose?

Probably (a) both times. Unless in scenario B you can ask about his previous cookie conviction and pay him less and/or able to fire at any time.

By denying all potential information you sow distrust between a mutually consensual relationship. Do you think more or less convicts will be hired when you can't trust background checks to get all the relevant information.

In such a world gossip will replace google. "Did you hear about mark? Oh don't hire him I heard he murdered someone over a batch of cookies!"
Yes possible with anything. Instead of sending the content of the message they send an expiring link which is transparent when viewed in GMail.

You can save the message contents with effort, that's not really the threat model this is feature is addressing. But neither POP nor OfflineIMAP will help you by default.
It's still pretty cool! I am sure I saw ListenNotes on HN earlier, but am yet to check the archives. Thanks for sharing! You have some cool tools as well.
China just passed pretty strict rules on data, particularly on state secrets and personal information. Would be curious to hear why this counts as nonexistent?
Funny that capitalism and profit motive have such an evil reputation when, historically, bees were revered by several very civilized nations, such as Persia and Greece, for being a symbol of mutually beneficial interaction and how business should be done as a civilizing force.

There are inherent challenges in monetizing healthcare. It isn't better to expect it by default to be "free" as the solution to that. But I don't think that means we can't keep our eyes on the prize. Ultimately, healthcare should primarily improve health and welfare.

I once read a witty piece that I only poorly remember that used the expression the bottom line to make the point that while a business does need to be profitable, profit should be its lowest priority. Accomplishing something useful and beneficial should be the main goal. Money is a necessity to keep the doors open, but you shouldn't actually be in the business of milking your customers for every penny, especially if that means doing other questionable things to get there.

To my mind, that should go double for healthcare.

Hi shpongled, we make it clear on the site that all the data is from CMC. In fact, there are several links on each coin page pointing to CMC for more detailed info :)
> Is it true that the encrytion algorithms still aren't the weakest link for highly sensitive classified information (e.g. in the government)? (Or in similar high-secrecy situations, not the ones that an everyday person takes part in)

Yes. The weak link for cryptography is implementation. Implementation is insidious because it's easy to implement an existing cryptographic specification in a way that looks safe but which is completely broken. It's also an attractive exercise for people who know how to write software. In contrast, designing novel cryptography (especially public key cryptography) requires a very advanced understanding of mathematics and complexity theory before you can even get to the "seems convincing, but is actually horribly broken" stage. If you want to compromise a cryptosystem you attack the individual implementation, not the design specification that has withstood a generation of careful scrutiny by well-funded mathematicians and computer scientists.

> Also, if current methods aren't backed by rigorous mathematics, isn't that a risk in it of itself?

I think Schneier probably shouldn't have written his point this way; in context he's referring to provable security. Provable security is a separate, complexity theoretic study. The mathematics underlying our cryptosystems is very well understood in the sense that we generally have a mature understanding of how difficult various intractable problems are. The difficult part is mapping that intractability to specific cryptographic properties in an adversarial model, such as existential unforgeability. For example, NTRU is a well studied, currently safe cryptosystem which didn't have any provable security metrics for at least a decade after it was invented.

Provable security does represent a risk, which is why it's always an active research topic. But importantly, provable security exists within a computational framework - it is not solved by proposals for quantum cryptography.
Like, if you invented a digital camera and successfully patented it.
In fact, this is a really common thing we see in the market/government dichotomy: the market doesn't, and shouldn't, have a stomach for long term, high risk plays that could possibly benefit all of society. That's not the point. The government handles those levels of investments on a much longer time scale, allowing the market to exploit the technological platforms made by our government. We see this pattern with the space race, the internet etc.: government does the big heavy lifting in the 20-40 year time frame, then VC and the market comes along and "digests" those changes for the marketplace.

Here is an excellent book that describes this relationship in far greater detail:

You're confusing the issue. The issue here isn't a bunch of stations being aligned; the issue is the parent company mandating a word-for-word reading of a script that furthers the parent company's interest.
There is no value in it because it is a false promise. If you give someone access to data, you have lost control over it, especially if it is by email - because not everyone uses Gmail. Many of those who do do not use the web client, and email clients are ultimately controlled by end users, even web based ones.

Only if you have complete end-to-end control over all the devices that everyone uses, including their brain, can you stop people from copying data.

If I have a file that I want to limit access to, I would never dream of sending it via e-mail. Some hosted document service which only shows parts of the file would be far preferable.
Whats the point of this? Looks like a mirror of cmc.
I just searched around and there is a fair chance the number might be legit. In the first paragraph of this article [1], it says that the amount in VND is converted from 650MM in USD, taken from the ICO organized by the Modern Tech company.

I think a comparison to the wealth is fairer than to the GDP. There are quite a lot of under-reported revenue streams in Vietnam. It's definitely still a sizable chunk though and any dollar amount assigned to cryptocurrencies should be taken with a big grain of salt but I can definitely see it happening.

Healthcare was one of the things I've counted as important for the elderly people, I don't understand why you deemed necessary to repeat me on this. If it was to put the proportion in prospective, then whatever amount is necessary, the government already pays A LOT of it. When it's the government who pays, it doesn't make much difference for the patients if they begin to need more of it.

"Elderly people need the same things as all other people"

Like what? This is where it would have been actually interesting to have something meaningful from you, but here you're just glossing over. From what I noticed (and heard directly from elders around me) it's the other way around.
I don't have irrational hate. And I wish SpaceX the best on their endeavors and look forward to seeing what they accomplish. Why the irrational fanboyism? Why are you taking a realistic discussion of the company like a shot across the bow?

Well, shit, I thought _that_ was functional programming. Back to the drawing board for me, I guess.

Where do you see any indication that this man was claiming to use genuine Apple components? I see nothing of the sort on his website[1]. The article specifically says that he made no claims of being authorized by Apple or using genuine Apple components and the court agreed with him. There was an Apple logo, on an internal component, which was covered up, because (at least according to the seller) they actually are Apple parts that had been refurbished. Now maybe they actually are counterfeit parts and the seller was lying, but there is zero evidence of this and the repairman certainly wasn't intentionally selling counterfeits or lying about anything.

I can't help but observe that substantial movement of pressure and criticism in the US around biased journalism, and fake news is shifting the narrative (or preparing it) for state-controlled media. We thought it was bad before, and social media and independent journalism was supposed to be the underdog here to help usurp those big-corp biases.. but it turned out to be the exact opposite. So whats left? big government to step in and defend us helpless civilians, and make sure we only recieve official state truth. I hope I am wrong.
> Why hasn't US achieved the level of digital payment smoothness that China has been able to?

This isn't unusual. Because of legacy issues, latecomers often enjoy superior infrastructure. For example, US is still on 110V despite all the disadvantages.

I'd like to see more discussion about different strategies for how to manage and live with your "idea faucet".

When day after day, you frequently notice people's "pain points", and low-hanging opportunities for reducing system dysfunction, you quickly accumulate a backlog. Which makes it a triage problem. With the associated burdens of "I think I see how I might make this better... and instead I'm going to walk away".

As health professional, you get advice and support on dealing with your limits with respect to people's often unhappy outcomes.

We don't seem to do that much.

There's some around a consultant's limits of professional responsibility. There's hierarchical workplace subordination - "above my pay grade", "not my call". And professional craftsmanship. There's a lot of entrepreneurial mission focus - find one viable/important idea to pursue, and focus narrowly on that. And the seemingly common "it's just a job, to support things like family, that actually matter".

Around here, there's a lot of upbeat use of status quo as baseline. If my product helps people, it's a win. If it doesn't, a null. Anyone else's problems... they're not my market, not my problem.

Market opportunity root cause analysis sometimes turns up a happy "A just hasn't talked to B yet". But sometimes turns up noisome tangles of "I'd be fine with not having seen this" ugliness.

I've seen a great many posts on finding your first viable idea. But I've seen very few posts on remaining ok with leaving the idea faucet running, once it gets going.
> OpenGraph tags would never have been necessary.

Small correction: XHTML2 had the Metainformation Attributes Module [1]. That then became RDFa in (X)HTML, practically the same syntax and processing model.

Facebooks Open Graph stuff is claimed to be RDFa. When I tested it then their Parser did not really do RDFa processing - other CURIE prefixes for the same URI weren't recognized, if I remember correctly.

But in effect Open Graph meta information would have looked the same in XHTML2 as in todays WHATTF HTML.

For your other argument I agree. WHATWG (and dumb modern style of development) reduced the democratising aspect of the web. But of course the people of WHATWG word for billion dollar companies, which want to have a moat to centralize behind.

Part of the cost is that the editors have to read through everything to filter what goes to the peer reviewers. If you keep sending junk to the reviewers, they drop out of reviewing.
«you know SYN was dropped»

But you don't know who dropped it: the ISP or the remote server. In order to show it's the network between the client and server dropping it, you need a server that behaves in a known way, hence open.zorinaq.com I used to work in the InfoSec industry, running port scans from various locations, and open.zorinaq.com was incredibly useful to ensure there was no random firewall preventing us from finding certain open ports. That was the primary motivation why I built the service.

> Buffered channels are able to express semantics impossible to express with unbuffered channels.

You can build a buffered channel from a pair of unbuffered channels with an actor/goroutine containing a buffer connected to the output of the one channel and the input of the other. Therefore, anything that can be expressed in terms of buffered channels and actors/goroutines can be expressed in terms of buffered channels and actors/goroutines.

I'll grant that somethings are very tedious to express, and it's a bit of o Turing tarpit argument.

Not good at all. This should happen only if one of your servers has been compromised and spits out spam that gets logged by Google.
Does unmarking your email as spam by the recipient work? If not that would be an indication it's intentional.
It could mean

* one of your servers is unhealthy, remove it from the pool.

* reject some requests to make the rest faster.
Another comparatively difficult-to-block option is a bookmarklet that runs some JS to retrieve the latest IP address from some server somewhere.

I don't really want to switch to somebody's random DNS servers to use SciHub, but dragging a bookmarklet to your browser toolbar is pretty easy.
Well, heres hoping it doesn't get canned.

>This is my biggest complaint with the "Right to Repair" movement. They're constantly conflating what Apple is fighting against (counterfeit parts and being compelled to provide documentation and manuals without oversight) with the valid complaint of users not being legally allowed to repair their own devices

Your complaint seems rather imagined to me. Where are they "constantly conflating"? I don't see that here.

To call the /. system more primitive seems weird.

After all, you don't simply up or down vote, you are given a small number of votes, and you can pick between various terms (with attached values) to use on each vote.

But the big deal is that:

A) the most used term is attached to the comment.

B) it caps out at a +5 upvote.

The caps in particular makes vote brigading (/r/shitredditsays anyone?) harder, though not impossible.
Not really. That's not how the world works. Otherwise we'd have jumped from stone age straight to nuclear energy.

The way this works: space exploration presents a set of compelling engineering challenges that extend our capabilities. People solve those challenges, and then other people find more mundane uses for resulting solution. But without the initial compelling challenge, those inventions would likely either took much longer, or would not have been made at all, because ones on the market were good enough.

And that's just talking about trickle-down benefits. Then there's the whole lot of direct benefits from satellites - from the most obvious, like navigation and communication, to the less obvious, like weather monitoring, agriculture management, emergency response, national security, climate science, etc.
True - 100% true. If I had a checkered past with no references I would expect to get denied for every job I applied to.

To combat this prejudice I would fully expect to have to lower my expectations in the form of lower wage or other restriction. If I offer to work for half the normal pay not only will I definitely get hired but I'll get a good reference providing I prove myself capable and trustworthy.
Hi folks. I'll be talking to Duolingo next week about your criticisms and concerns. Feel free to ping me directly with any suggestions to ask them about. seanjcaptain@gmail.com
If that's the case:

1a) Why would it matter that Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, and/or Apple object to W3C DOM 4.1 if they don't implement it?

1b) Why would Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, and/or Apple care enough to object to W3C DOM 4.1 if they aren't implementing it? Why would they even give any effort to a competing specification and just allow it to die from inactivity?

2) Why does what is in W3C DOM 4.1 matter if the high 90s percentage of users are served by a browser in the WHATWG DOM camp? This could probably be condensed down to "Why do W3C's specifications matter at all" really.
This is a creative and approachable solution for developers who don't want to fall down a back-end rabbit hole. No pun intended.
Here is the full judgment: https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/nt1-...
I would take anything Rossman says with a grain of salt, he clearly has a personal vendetta against Apple. Further, Apple products are almost entirely recyclable, up to and including the packaging. As long as they are properly disposed of, you wouldn't be producing additional waste.

And you are assuming that "flash" and "sexy" serve a single, vapid purpose. The designs of their products are as compact and space efficient as possible because weight, battery size, and thermals all play a factor in the quality of a product.

You can shit on them all you want but no company comes close to Apple in quality, and I don't see anyone complaining about the right to repair ultrabooks, or pixelbooks.
The edge cases are already excluded. I think that murder and sexual crimes are discluded from someone's right to be forgotten.

That does not mean that it is a good thing to put all bells and whistles from different browser vendors under the same umbrella.

Let's say you are a) owning and b) managing a project that three competing teams are working on in parallel.

If you will not curate the project you will have one team adding <marquee> and another team adding <blink>...

In real world you would invite dedicated architect or team of architects to define the spec that all 3 teams will implement.

All that WHATWG vs W3C flame is about bazaar vs cathedral management style I think.

Origins of the mess: W3C itself has no architects on board - they are just trying to moderate votes of others. Where each vote has an obvious weight (weight(Google) > weight(JohnButSmart)).

In contrary WHATWG has professional architect on top of the construct - Ian Hickson. In fact WHATWG was created by him. But Ian is associated with Google and that makes WHATWG legitimacy a bit questionable.
Archived link since the site has been, ahem, brutalized:

https://archive.fo/3W7yY

There isn't really an argument for brutalism except laziness and the usual contempt the design community has for its end users. Minimalism has its place, as does maximalism, depending on the context within the application. But that requires actual thinking and then both taste and skill, respectively. Much easier to just wallow in contempt with occasional outbursts of sarcastic novelty, as architecture has done for the last sixty years.
Which games? To my knowledge this is at best exceptionally rare because there are only ~114 CPU cycles in a scan line. The reports I've heard are that if you do any OAM changes mid-frame, you get something like four lines of glitches. More common is to just do a full OAM DMA during vertical blank, at least from the ROMs I've seen.

As for "exposed structures", I'd include the prominence of the box model underlying the rendered HTML, emphasized by visible borders and/or distinct backgrounds.

As others are mentioning, the border-heavy http://www.zku-berlin.org (included in the article's examples) qualifies, and so do 1990s-style websites that appear to be authored with tables and don't try to cloak the inner workings of the layout.
What is your proposed definition and how would you apply the test in practice?
If your field is narrow, and the participants are collegial, then the peer reviewed journals are mostly there to formalize the banter your colleagues put out on mailing lists. Easy to do for cheap.

I agree.

There is no point in having your service try to speculate what happened when that isn't its job.

As long as your service doesn't need to ensure things happen only once or you build in that recovery mechanism (identifying unique events and throwing them out if your system has already seen them), being able to toss work to another instance is great in my mind.
Interesting example of PL progress. I would have said that free-style templates were part of the "C++ way", in fact fairly close to its essence.

One feature which seems to lie along the axis of forward progress is lambdas (even Java got them) and one that appears to lie in its past is unstructured control flow (IMO this is somewhat regrettable). One thing I wish languages would all evolve is an expression-language syntax but there was and is a surprising amount of kvetching about Rust's "implicit returns" so perhaps I'll be waiting a while longer for that.

OTOH, the idea of forward evolution is also deceptive. The imperative world had tagged unions many decades ago, but they were abandoned in the OOP craze in favor of forms of subtyping (the Modula-3 designers at least gave this justification as a form of pure progress) and it's only fairly recently that they have percolated back over from the functional world and OOP-style subtyping has fallen from grace.
Ooh, I like that. That's a very useful interpretation! Thanks!
