"I have a standing bet that Kurzweil will die in my lifetime before he will be able to upload himself to a synthetic body with a friend of mine."

My response to all things Kurzweil has always been barely interested dismissal.

However, a few years ago I read an in-depth piece, with interview, wherein he pinned almost all of his motivation on his early, traumatic experience of his own (beloved) fathers death.

Now my response is a very deep sadness for him. What he wants is so simple and easiy achievable - to have a child of his own.

Literal immortality (at the species layer, not the (cancerous) individual layer) was there for him all along - and it included all of the love and care and devotion that he has spent his lifetime mourning.

I doubt that.

Friends or family can't read your mind, but they can steal your physical key.

People putting pins on their phones or password on their laptop are not afraid of being pirated. This is a vague, abstract threat to them. Becoming part of a botnet is really not important to them, and they getting their credit card stolen from the web is really not credible enough for non tech saavy user.

What they are afraid of is other people looking at their stuff. Internet history. Pictures. Their clear text personal document.

Beside, a key is annoying. Where do you think they will store it when they travel ? In the same bag than the laptop. So you steal the bag, you steal the password.
Mixing discussions between people makes it harder to respond to your comments. It's better to have one comment aimed at me and one aimed at tptacek.

As for the content of your comment, it's hard to distinguish what's aimed at me and what's aimed at him, so I'll assume everything aside from your first sentence is aimed at him.
Kind of amazing seeing this story right next to the Google Duplex story.
Very cool!

One small quibble: why is the /bright endpoint a GET? GET should never have side effects. :)
As a frequent user of ingress, I agree that portability isn't useful in practice and that requirement is a hindrance on ingress evolution. A lot of work has been put into CRDs, yet parts of the community push for a "portable" ingress. With all the one-off features/settings, users will inevitably make substantial changes to their ingress object - might as well use CRDs with clear specs. The alternative is annotation hell or associated configmaps.

I've heard some say they want to be able to list out all external addresses exposed from the cluster, but that can be solved with a new resource more akin to endpoints.
SamSung might be in a position to capture this market - their ASIC design chops are just as deep, they own the fabs/process engineering, AND they offer a one-stop shop with complementary DRAM, SSD, screens (however they're used in the enterprise), and other semiconductor offerings.
Almost everything rolls out to free consumers first. The consumer version is like a regular stable release channel, G Suite is like an enhanced product built on top of the latest LTS.
I'm the PM for this and the author of the article. Happy to answer any questions, with the exception that I can't comment on future roadmap.
Except that passwords at least protect you if your hardware key is stolen. Using just a hardware key seems similarly risky to just using a password.
Not that I support the OPs absolutist statement, but courts could and do handle quite a few of those (I mean fraud is handled almost entirely by the courts). Especially if the effort over the last century was put into strengthening the law and property rights, instead of creating endless agencies, government economic power brokers, and pre-emptive hoops for companies to jump through, which encourage state-backed oligopolies to flourish at the expense of competition and any firm small enough to not afford a team of lawyers. Not to mention measuring efficacy and ROI on each individual agency involved in market intervention is largely absent once the agencies are in place.

Unless you're conflating 'removing government actors' as completely removing the justice system and law enforcement? Which are two things which libertarians are very much in support of being government responsibility...Smaller government != no government.
Broadcast as in companies that are FCC licensees to use spectrum, so they're able to have more restrictions placed on them than the first amendment would usually allow.
When you are viewing the reviews, there is an option to filter displayed reviews to only the currently displayed "style" or subitem. Go down to the reviews and select "See all reviews" and a list of filter selectors will become visible at the top of the displayed results. Where it says "All formats" you can drop down and change this to "Show only reviews for <variation-type>: <variant> [| ...]" where the variant info is based on whatever product you were actually looking for.
Google launches the third version of its A.I. chips, an alternative to Nvidia's
I know. I'm pointing out why this is a bad thing, because most people who advocate for better mobile support on Hacker News don't see themselves as advocating for a reduction in the quality of discussion and a reduction in the depth and complexity of the articles being shared.
This is truly amazing work! Congrats Google for achieving this :)
Two things:

1) I generally don't want to do what everyone else in a given area is doing. I prefer the off-the-beaten-path stuff. Will Google know this?

2) Will Google monetize the inclusion in the "local hot spot tonight" recommendations?
Kurzweil's thesis is that technological change is exponential, but that our view of this change is linear, so we are extremely bad at predicting the future. He then tries to extrapolate this exponential change in, for example, processing power per cent, and tries to draw conclusions about what a society would look like where the processing power to simulate a human brain costs a dollar.

However, and this is why I side with GP, Kurzweils predictions are all veeeery conveniently made such that he himself will escape death, because he is absolutely obsessed and terrified by death, so I think he's succumbing to wishful thinking. He likes to publish future predictions, and his track record over the last decades is pretty meh.
Fake news used to refer to “Hillary Clinton has a body double” or stuff you’d find in the Enquirer.

And now the term has been hijacked to mean any new you disagree with.

Because you'd need a cross-platform, cross-machine, cross-device key management infrastructure and browser support that simply doesn't exist.

Even if you contrast it against something like e.g. LastPass or Keepass, you're still missing a ton of infrastructure.
It's not 7 days from when you last connect it to a computer. It's 7 days since the phone was last unlocked.
What do you say to the idea that your posting is underhanded and passive aggressive? People involved will recognize your business based on the description you give. Everyone else will take your side of the story for granted and crucify the picture you paint of your co-founder.

There are plenty of avenues you could take to seek the advice of other entrepreneurs for this without doing it on a public forum. It seems you’re looking to create an effect upon certain people in your situation who you expect to read HN.

You don’t come off well in this, IMHO.
Good. After all the roundabout bullshit of "factors" ("2FA") and password managers, people have finally come to their senses that physical tokens are a very natural evolution of analog keys and the only real security, and should have been used from the get-go.
Good points. Hopping trains and hitchhiking don't work so well these days. But buses don't cost too much. Also, I suspect that many homeless have smartphones. And that there are social-media networks for sharing "tricks and connections".
In the short/immediate term, it should probably be illegal to conduct a robocall without explicit opt-in of the destination caller. (Currently, if you get a non-telemarketed robocall, it is solicited, such as you scheduled an appointment and they are reminding you of it.)

Furthermore, if a robocall is permitted to be made to an unsolicited destination, a robocaller must clearly identify itself, presumably starting a declaration that it is a bot/automated agent from a given company on behalf of another company or individual.

And if the call is recorded in any way, shape, or form, the terms of service would need to be presented to the callee, giving them the chance to accept or deny said terms. (Note that if the example calls at I/O were not staged, and real calls, I suspect the recording of them would be illegal in many jurisdictions, including California.)
The human species hasn't changed much from the time where we carved word into clay tablets to the time where we type responses into web forums.

What you are discussing is the common dillusion that society or civilization has declined from some bygone era. Socrates despaired of the declining morals of youth compared to their forefathers thousands of years ago and you lament an imaginary decline in the integrity of our genes.

Back in reality selection in a species that takes 20-30 years to reproduce is really really slow and civilizations allowing the genetically weak to survive and gasp even breed hasn't done much to change us as a species in the last few hundred years.

What you are expressing is mostly seen in the lies of nazis and rascists who desire to promote the right kind of people breeding. If you will do more research you will discover that it lacks any scientific basis.
From the "Look Inside", it strangely pairs very "childish" pictures with small-font densely-packed pages high-school or college-level mathematical prose.
If Bitcoin is not better suited than alternatives, why is the CEO still using it despite their complaints?
Correct. The existing Notepad is top level Window and menu bar around the existing [edit control](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa3...). It has always had the same limitations - eg in way earlier versions of Windows it was limited to 64kb of text.

Addressing the "bug" is not simple - the edit controls behaviour could be changed in which case it could cause existing programs to behave differently, or extra code would have to be written for notepad to do its own text editing. Microsoft takes backwards compatibility very seriously.

Anyone curious about the Microsoft side of this should find Raymond Chen's Old New Thing blog interesting (about 5 posts a week). For example here is content tagged history: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/tag/history and here is how there are actually two copies of Notepad on each system: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20090312-00/?p=...
What I'd find interesting is using U2F (or FIDO2, which seems to be an evolution of this) as a second factor for SSH logins. But that doesn't seem possible without changes to SSH itself.

And I hope that this might trigger more widespread support for U2F and similar mechanisms in browsers and websites.
What you need is a mechanism to detect loss of contact with the human and revoke. One way is to require several hardware tokens to combine their entropy to authenticate. Again, don't make a password be a part of this, use another token.
Honestly, would you need free monads if you already had (the feeling of) candy inside your heart?

Maybe we need to look at our priorities.

Qt 5.11 Release Candidate Arrives, Final Release May Come Early
Can I ask a question? I personally have never been in a relationship with remote workers that has been more than 70-80% as effective as having everyone co-located.

What are some examples of companies that have been successful using primarily remote workers? I don't mean companies that Hacker News considers do remote work "correctly". I mean companies who have grown to around the nine figure mark without a co-located team?
Ask HN: What are you using Rust for?
I had asked the same question some time earlier here about Golang and D. Got some interesting answers (might be findable via hn.algolia.com). Thought it would be interesting to ask the same about Rust. Thanks in advance to all who reply.
Anyone in the world could crack your password. (Well, any of 2.5 billion people with an internet connection.) Requiring a physical key instead cuts the attack surface down quite a bit. If you can secure your car and house keys, you can secure this.

Citizenry will do what they always have: accept the narrative that benefits them the most or that they've been indoctrinated to accept without questioning. The Internet isn't going to magically change human nature.

That doesn't mean that we need a Ministry of Truth a la Brazil or 1984, but this isn't an either-or issue. The Fairness Doctrine[0] was a fairly nice compromise. We have long required advertisers to be truthful, even using the extremely broad standard of "truth" set by the FTC. Why shouldn't news organizations be held to a similar ethical or moral standard? Does it benefit society if the only opinions broadcast as fact are filtered by corporate interests? That may be better than being filtered by government interests, but it's still not in the best interests of the public, is it?

Awesome stuff. I'm working with JSON-LD in both C# and JavaScript and loving the freedom that the linked data concepts (constraints) bring to developing APIs.
I personally have the nano version.

> but I assume it lacks the "touch" protection against remote attacks

It has the touch protection. There is a small strip of metal that protrudes beyond the USB port that you touch.

> what its durability

I've used it daily for about a year. Granted this is not "years" but so far it still feels very solid.
Exactly - It's similar reason to the crypto keys use passphrases.
And without some indicator of attribution, this is just doubling down on the problem of Caller ID spoofing.

> Sorry if these questions are asinine. It's just that the article bemoans the fact that this hasn't hit mainstream web development yet, to my mind, does nothing to encourage its use.

They are not, those are good questions. The fact that you've been able to make and deliver successful products for years without knowing or worrying about RDF or JSON-LD should make you suspicious of JSON-LD and it's value proposition.

I've been hearing about for years and yet the development world is pretty happy moving ahead without it. I've looked at RDF and JSON-LD some years back when designing a web API shrugged and ignored it.

Now sure, it's nice. It's like having a car with chrome plated rims instead of regular rims. It's better, shinier, prettier but not enough for me to bother to spend time (money) to get it.
I suspect it's more that our intuition is that everything is meaningful, or at least something is, so when the solution to is to ignore the only thing you have at hand, it's hidden in plain sight.
The outsider who found her purpose in the wilderness
I agree with many of these sentiments. We live in an era where the "mainstream" has all but abandoned truth as a value and truth-seeking as a process. The great irony of relativism is that it is a rigid a framework which cannot accommodate thinking outside its bounds. That causes it to fail abjectly when people attempt to apply it to real questions. And to boot, it is inherently incapable of resolving issues of competing relativist interests.
> As you can see, Notepad is incorrectly displaying the file’s contents, making the file look garbled.

So the intended behavior was to incorrectly display the file contents?

Also, I don't know why you quoted "An issue (as perceived by a user)", since I can't find that in the article anywhere.

1440p vs. 2160p
I was optimistic about my Dell S2718D, it had great reviews and was usb-c compatible. Until now I never owned a 1440p display. I’ve been on a retina MacBook Pro since they came out. I currently own a 2018 15” MacBook Pro...

I spend 60% of my time working in Affinity Designer, %40 actually writing code. So I needed a good monitor to support my workflow. The consensus on the internet seems to suggest the difference between 1440p and 2160p is minor.

This wasn’t my experience and maybe it’s due to prolong retina use? However 1440p is unbearable all it took was opening one Designer file to say fk this sh!t. The only other monitor I had was the 1st gen LG 27” usb-c ips display. The monitor was excellent until I had 4 die out on me in a row... Needless to say I’m very skeptical of LG at this point.

LG gripes aside I think you would have to be close to legally blind to assert 1440p is within arms reach of 2160p! It’s just not even remotely close. The best advice I can give anyone looking for a new monitor is to always go 4K or better, you can thank me later.
I love my Galaxy S7 but my next phone will definitely not be a Samsung based on the direction they seem to be heading.

I wonder if there is a list of buzzwords you can send to the autoreply that will get it in front of an actual human. Like:

"Hey, seems like your bot is broken and I need to talk to a human, so I've copy pasted the following terms to attempt to elevate the issue and reach a human:

emergency fraud lawsuit hacked liability jeff bezoz better business bureau fuck shit escalate critical severe engineer SLA reliability false positive PARSE ERROR..."
Bill Gates said something like that. You always over estimate what you can do in a year. But you’re always shocked at how much happened in seven.
I agree it's a problem. The probably means of mitigation is for restaurants to take your credit card number when you book. Many already do this. I expect it to expand if false bookings become a problem.
Not sure, because I've never used Google's Android image on it. I'd take continued security updates over a slight difference in image quality any day though.

The entire premise behind buy-and-hold investing is that you expect your investments to grow by ~7-11% per year, over the long run. If you're expecting your investments to stay flat over the long run, there's no reason to invest in the first place.

Given that you expect some growth every year on average, it makes sense to take into account the opportunity-costs of delaying your investments.

Or to put it in more obvious terms: Investing $18k today, is better than investing $18.2k in 2019, which is better than investing $20k in 2028.

You’re only ever talking to the IRS over the phone if you initiate the call. Ideally the phone system gets fixed but that’s likely to not happen any time soon. Now you need to deal with current reality. Nobody should trust that any incoming call, purportedly from a business or government, is from who they say it’s from either verbally or through caller ID.
Don't analyze too much, just let it pour off. Ask if there's anything to be learned, if no, then don't bother.
In fight or flight it helps to control your breath to get back brain control. Good advice about walking away, leave the battle before you get more injuries. It might be awkward to walk out of a meeting, but at least the other party will recognizing they did something wrong.

Also, they recorded this call and are using it for their internal dataset and also sharing it publicly with hundreds of thousands of people. Should the recipient be informed of this data collection, much less have a say in it?

I worry that this will make people have an AI make phone calls for them regularly when they wouldn't have in the past. At some point, the restaurants will need to have their own AI to respond to the call volume. You end up with 2 AIs attempting to have a conversation.

FWIW, "rectangles" is a visually/geometrically natural way to express "buckets of equal size".

And "1xN doesn't count" can be expressed nicely as "it can't just be a line", or "the line must be folded up into a shorter rectangle [because more compact shapes are nicer]"
