Not sure if I am reading you correctly but to me you basically are saying "we have no idea but we believe that one day it will make sense".

Sounds more like religion and less like science to me.

I guess we could argue until the end of the world that no intelligence will emerge from more and more clever ways of brute-forcing your way out of problems in a finite space with perfect information. But that's what I think.
I don’t think they’ve made that clear at all. To me it seems they’ve made it clear they don’t want misuse of VPNs. The fact they provide APIs to do ad blocking across all web content says that they are very much ok with it.

I note from reading AdGuard’s App Store description that it seems to do as blocking with the content blocking APIs, and uses the VPN only for DNS changes.
Yep that works well for many use cases
I'm interested in which details OP can present - I'm somewhat surprised to be put in a position where I have to do a breakdown of Apple's security vs. Google's to address a claim that doesn't have anything backing it, and is specifically stated with uncertainty ("I'm pretty sure...")

I'm only _somewhat_ surprised because people have a high-level idea that Apple is the one manufacturer concerned with security, and I'm somewhat _surprised_ because tptacek is involved, and he's aware that it's highly unusual to request no proof from the original claim while asking people addressing it to provide proof.

This contradiction leads me to believe tptacek has info on this that could settle things, leading me to resent facing two generations of posts that don't attempt to flesh out a claim while I'm downvoted for not fleshing out a claim, and I'm requested to make a claim.

I'll keep eating downvotes instead, this is objectively unreasonable.

EDIT: ...and there's already a sibling post that addresses this. Not a great look folks. :/
Other commenters have noted that businesses don't have the governments monopoly on the use of force, but also worth noting is that if a business chooses to treat you poorly, you can (usually) select a competing business. Not so with the TSA. They have a monopoly on security at all US airports (I think. Perhaps smaller airports are different?)

Yup.

If only defaults matter, then it's already a dead horse, as the majority of users don't know what DNS even is, and are using their ISP's servers by default.
With full comment edit history that's no longer the case as much, although you can delete the diffs.
You might try a little empathy. You have it for those with poor health and bad or nor insurance; you might try having some for those who disagree with you.

You might try to see how some of them might (reasonably) feel that the individual mandate was removing choice from them, rather than adding it. You might try to see how some of them felt that the cost of the mandated insurance was breaking them financially. Then you might not be so quick to ascribe their motives to nothing but hate.

You could have that level of empathy and still disagree with them.

because they aren't there to help the poor. i really wish people would get it out of their heads that the Democratic party is the people, the poor, the downtrodden. They are very much at their core the same as the Republican party. they are party of specific people who have money who can use this money and influence to continue the careers of those who in turn dole out rewards.

when you pretty much have the press locked up you can turn any story good or bad to your favor. when you need to look like you care you can trot out look good but limited impact programs and check off the box in the list.

the problem is not easy to fix and there is a desire to not fix it because the problem is political currency. just like race strife is political currency. your question about SF can be applied to any large city which has had decades of Democratic control, why isn't problem X fixed?

because the feel good solution isn't what is needed and it only exist as a bullet point in a campaign. it isn't a matter of money, lord knows the promises to public employee pensions plans proves the states and cities had the money. it just went to reward those who keep them in power.

the best voter is one who votes out whomever doesn't deliver and flips the control party to party or faction within each cycle till control returns to the people. however politicians and the press are very adept at exploiting fears and hate of the people and know how to put one group against another. you fall for it every single time, do the honest look into your choices.
There's another, much darker side, that absolutely should be discussed when talking about security disclosures....

There's *.onion IRC servers that run illegal ops. I can hop on one right now (with no proxy goofiness using this document I made: https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/12985555550240/Linux%20DNS%20R... )

And on that IRC server, I can auction and sell various things, including 0day exploits. And I would potentially get paid in bitcoin or whatever I wish.

So here's the math, companies... If you're not willing to purchase them from me, there are other buyers. And they are far unfriendlier. And they pay better too.

Of course, that's if you have the "No Ethics" but don't want to get your hands dirty actually running the exploit code.
Feel free to reach out to me via email (jaisen@). I imagine you're hitting the same pain points that many of the customers I've talked to over the last few months are. Hopefully what we're working on will address them and it's not too late.

Stray dog is an accurate description. Groups has not received the updates needed for use in enterprises but it's a current focus area for us (for reasons you mentioned).
> If it was easy to profit from this sort of information, we'd be awash with asset managers beating the market.

Unless it's a Moneyball-like situation, where managers theoretically have access to all the same metrics, but actually use inferior squishy human judgement instead of hard data.

Due to the amount of data across the entire industry, it's totally conceivable that "human readers can't replicate the process".

That said, I'm a bit of a pessimist, and concur with your suspicion.
Did I say borders are equivalent to slavery? Why stop there with this interpretation? Maybe I was saying all world leaders should rename themselves Harriet Tubman?

Borders cause suffering when people are trapped in war, violence, poverty. World leaders can ease crossing of borders to give immigrants better opportunities to live. The only reason they don't is because they need to be reelected and have careers after office, at best, and maybe they aspire to favor of the rich and white.

> sales is a case where it's trivial to measure results and align incentives

It's anything but. Good sales usually are driven by how much they make, and if there's any misalignment between your commission plan and what's good for the company they'll optimize their own revenue in a heart beat. It can be very hard to align your commission plan with what the company actually needs if the business you're into is non-trivial. (Think optimizing the use of existing work capacity, selling high profit products rather than easier to sell low profits ones, keeping sales more or less aligned with the company's capacity to hire staff that can deliver, etc. Selling too much too fast is not always a good thing.)
Ask HN: Why is there no real programming community?
Note: Here, when I say "community," I really mean "online community."

To me, the most puzzling thing about programming is that there is no real place to actually discuss programming.

As weird/absurd as that sounds, it seems like three major avenues where most discussion occurs are:

1. Reddit. Subreddits are nice and very effectively organize discussion of different topics. On the other hand, Reddit is virtually anonymous, and it's generally frowned upon to share anything of your own creation, in order to not be flagged as spam/self-promotion.

2. Hacker News. It's more than acceptable to submit your own content, or other people's content you found interesting. The downside is that it's very difficult to get to the frontpage, and most posts not on the frontpage are forgotten. There's also the fact that this site is far more anonymous than Reddit, and that features like downvoting are blocked off for most users.

3. Twitter. I like Twitter because it's very personal, and you can actually put faces to names (unheard of elsewhere). The downside here is that for anyone to hear anything you're saying, you truly have to have tens of thousands of followers. I have 4,000, but most of those people are not programmers, and thus there's less than a smidgeon of opportunity for any sort of programming discussion there.

So, I've always wondered.

Is the reason that there is no real online community, the fact that maybe we just don't need one?

Thoughts? Just wanted to discuss...
I still shoot black and white medium format, and spend about 10 hours a week in a darkroom.

It’s hard to compare spending 2 hours on a print vs 2 hours on a shot in Lightroom - they’re very different processes. That being said, the reason why I enjoy it so much is because I’m working with a physical process that - once fully understood - is reliable, coherent, and predictable (to your comment about it being hard getting the exposure and contrast right - split filter processing changed my life. It removes a lot of the guesswork and basically turns it into a binary search). Working with software is anything but - I can’t count the number of times where something didn’t work quite the way it used to because of a software update, or I had to restart Lightroom to get it to behave, or some fairly direct manipulation I wanted to do was hidden under unnecessary layers of UI.

Not to mention that the final output of the darkroom process is a print - whereas the final output of software is a file. Since I care about making large prints, if I worked in software, I’d still have to deal with a printer and all the mess that comes with that to get an object.

The one thing that digital excels at is obviously back ups/instant duplication/being able to navigate through history/etc.

But they really are 2 utterly different approaches to making photographs, and I wish there were an embodied system (à la Dynamicland) that brought to the digital photography process the wonderful things from the darkroom process.
DNSCrypt is also the fastest and most secure.

It doesn't require sessions (uses UDP by default, like regular DNS, but prevents amplification), enforces safe cryptography and pinned certificates, is trivial to implement, doesn't need OpenSSL, implements padding without inventing yet another DNS extension, and can use unique keys for each question (so that DNS providers can't fingerprint clients, unlike other options due to TCP sessions and TLS tickets).
Do you have any plans to offer male fertility testing as well? As the OP noted, male fertility is also a factor in pregnancy and in our patriarchal society we often place the burden and blame on women for issues with conceiving. I’m sure there is a great feminist marketing campaign waiting to be done for a product for males.

I’d certainly use it.
This isn't true :/

Easiest way to address the claims, let me know if you need a more detailed breakdown:
Note Facebook's VPN is still available - they're just not allowed to advertise it blocks ads, which they never did in the first place.
I am rent controlled. It is the only reason I still live in SF. I would love for more housing to be built that I could afford to buy. In the meantime, I would also love to be able to move into a rent controlled single family home, even if that raised rent prices %5 (estimate of effect of rent control on rent prices from other poster). It's the stability I crave. I know too many people who rented a single family home and then their rent tripled over night.
they're just using cookiebot.com. It's a paid service so might be out of reach for some sites, but it seems affordable and is quite slick. Love that every cookie gets its own explanation.
This should be at the top of HN for half of the weekend :)
Great product! Are you talking to companies who might want to offer this as a benefit to their employees?
Exactly. To my not-very-well-informed self, even AlphaGo Zero is just a more clever way to brute-force board games.

Side observers are taking joy in the risker plays that it did -- reminded them of certain grand-masters I suppose -- but that still doesn't mean AGZ is close to any form of intelligence at all. Those "riskier moves" are probably just a way to more quickly reduce the problem space anyway.

It seriously reminds me more and more of religion, the AI area these days.
I went to Swiss by bike and I can't shake the feeling the whole country had this graphical idea throughout. Felt quite unreal though enjoyable.

I don't think it implies anything like that. Apple has way too much to lose given Cooks stance on privacy.

There is a lot of scientific support for pre-employment screening (selection). The most conclusive evidence comes from a series of absolutely enormous studies conducted by the US military in the 80's known as project A.

That being said, there is a great deal of pseudo science being gobbled up by organizations because this is a mostly unregulated industry.
> If you're actually worried or concerned about how you're communicating, you're probably fine or at least acceptable.

I think I've finally realized how to articulate what my frustration with statements of the form "If you're worried about X, you're fine" is. The person presenting the worry has a prior of [I am worried about this]. They then go seeking a solution that will let them alleviate the worry by taking concrete steps to address it. When they run into the advice "If you're worried, you're fine", they have two problems:

1) If being worried is the only reason why they are at least acceptable, then to continue to be acceptable, they need to continue to be worried.

2) They haven't actually gotten a concrete action to take or thought exercise to go through. That means if the commenter is wrong and they actually do have a habit to work on, the only thing they might be doing differently is telling their intuition (system 1 for the Khanemann fans) "Hey, you know that alarm? turn it off." Their intuition probably doesn't listen very well and probably keeps them worried, but it is also no longer acting as a useful signal whatsoever of the problem.

----

The approach I would take is to come up with a list of actually-answerable questions to ask myself, to have faith in my intuitions on those questions unless I get concrete evidence that they are wrong, and then to work to make peace with the remaining discomfort. For example, when driving a car:

- Buy a wide-angle rear-view mirror so you have better spatial awareness.

- When opening any car door from the insite, habitually practice doing the Dutch reach.

- When you are aware of a cyclist, know the reference points on the car that you should keep them at so you are a safe passing distance.

- Don't do anything else besides perhaps converse with another human in the car while I'm driving.

- Practice scanning my environment while driving and other generally-safe driving habits.

- Having practiced your duty of care -- Accept the reality that at some point I might end up crushing another person's ribcage and snuffing out the life of someone's father/brother/aunt/teacher -- a fellow human.
That's not wholly surprising. Newfoundland was colonized by the English in 1610, right in the middle of Shakespeare's life.
Get a job as Junior Developer. You can self-taught a lot but nothing substitute experience. As an alternative, you can contribute to open source projects.
I remember the footnotes in one Shakespeare play I read at school saying something like "[2] this is a humourous reference to Christopher Marlowe's contemporaneous play..." which I sort of rolled my eyes at and remarked how that was a bit of a stretch and was anyone really supposed to notice that.

My teacher drew the analogy to Scary Movie (which was relatively new at the time) and how we could all enjoy it just fine without footnotes explaining "this is a humourous reference to contemporaneous horror film Scream..." etc. It suddenly struck me the difference between studying culture historically and actually experiencing it "live". This analogy has only gotten better with time because I probably would need footnotes to get half the jokes in Scary Movie nowadays.
> The millions of desktops riddled with adware and viruses running to this day is pretty good evidence that most people cannot effectively manage software on a desktop OS.

Is this an actual fact-based observation or just personal memories rooted in a time that Windows 98 was the best that many people got?

It often seems like people who hold your position are arguing against a caricature. As in, you can't do it this way because people used to have problems, or people might...

Thanks for digging in! We share exactly where the science is and what these tests can and cannot tell you. We can't count the exact number of eggs, and we do report in buckets which are impactful and have clinical utility. One of the hormones we measure is AMH which is a well validated proxy of ovarian reserve. There is a lot of literature on AMH but Hansen et.al.2011 is one of my favorites- they counted the number of eggs (primordial follicles to be specific) in the ovaries of women who were already having their ovaries removed for other medical reasons and found the their AMH levels strongly correlated with follicle count.
I've never boarded a plane in Germany, but in every other country I have (a few in Europe, several in Asia, and the US for sure), you have to show ID and boarding pass to airport security, and some countries also required it when going through passport control.
Good question. I think you mean "Why is there no online programming discussion forum"?
I read somewhere that the problem with scooters is that homeless people poop on them. The article was blaming scooters' startups - not even mentioning that the real problem is that homeless people are pooping on the street and sidewalks.

I do not think the city administration is the only guilty here. We are in such a strange bubble here ...
crossbar.io now have full featured authentification system, end to end encryption, and permissions isolated in realms. It's work, but yeah, you can secure things.

Securing a website is a lot of work too if you have to do it manually. I just don't do it much anymore, Django takes care of most of the issues for me, and barring some very bad decisions, I have little to actually worry about.

But crossbar doesn't have a django like framework. It's more like flask, express, sinatra...

I've been actually doodling the API of a high level framework on top of crossbar.io for 2 years now. But barring winning the lottery or starting a successful kickstarter, it's unlikely I will find the money to work on it for a year without interruption. It's crazy the amount of work that needs to be done to catch up with frameworks created a decades ago and improved by hundred of dev while field testing it :)
Anti-cartelling usually works by trying to prevent agreements, associations etc. from forming, it is taken as a given given that the players have some incentive to do that. You can't do this for towns, because the association already exists in the form of the local government.

That doesn't you are wrong to look at it from a incentive point point-of-view. It's just that thinking in terms of cartels might not help you much.
It's neither a labor shortage nor an abundance of jobs because there's no correct amount of labor to compare against. All it is is a price for labor which sometimes goes up and sometimes goes down, but there's no correct price at which there's neither a shortage nor an oversupply.

If it's ridiculous to say there's a shortage of thing-carriers, how is the different from saying there's a shortage of truck drivers? What's the difference? If you just dismiss it as ridiculous, then you probably don't know what you're talking about.
I will be harsh. This looks more like "hey, watch us force some math onto this topic and look cool".

This is a great option if your audience has very high need, but it will not make it available to the average non-tech savvy person who needs it.
Agreed.

I was struggling to find a way to state this as well but choose to shut up when words eluded me. Is the phrase "virtue signaling" sometimes deployed by people with shitty intent? Yes.

That doesn't mean the phrase has no value at all and I think in the context used its usage above was perfectly apt. If one thinks otherwise they ought to articulate a counterpoint instead of expecting all discussion on the point to stop because of their own personal hangups with bad actors.

I've all ways found the premise that "targeted ads make your life better" utter BS. It is predicated on the premise that the advertised products would improve the consumer's life more than if they had not been exposed to the ad and more than the cost of the product. Increasing the efficiency of your money extracting engine does not make the world a better place, it just means you are more efficient at finding victims.
Every large ethnic group is at least slightly below replacement rate in the USA. Some more than others but it's not a good sign suggesting that people are generally struggling.

PS: Male:Female gender imbalance at birth + early deaths is why the replacement rate is over 2.0 lifetime births per woman.
I remember that exact moment in class. Ms. Zank smirked just a bit because she knew how the student was going to read that line. Then we had a nice class discussion about how it was more similar to a cry of "land ho!" or some such.
