Are kinder eggs actually a dangerous product, or are they just getting swept up by broader American legislation? It's my understanding the American law preventing the importation of kinder eggs is a law against inedible objects from being embedded inside edible objects, which seems generally reasonable. Generally. But are Kinder eggs actually dangerous? Are many European children dying because of Kinder eggs specifically?
It's not the eggs that are banned, the FDA bans the practice of putting inedible objects fully encased in edible things in general. I loved me my Kinder Surprise when I was a kid but I don't think that's an unreasonable restriction when it comes to products marketed towards children (I don't know if it applies across the board or only to things marketed at children). Kinder has introduced an American version now where the egg is split vertically into two halves - one half has the chocolate and the other half has the toy so that there's no risk of accidentally eating it. I'm not sure if they do the assembly required toys for the American version but I see the eggs everywhere now.
You can prop up an industry for longer than you think. Just look at corn.
That's public health, not energy policy. To the extent that green power is a public health policy question (let's not heat up the earth) then it should be addressed as such. The maxim is that your freedom to swing your fist ends where your neighbor's nose begins so if coal-burners are affecting public health then going after them on those grounds is appropriate (and I support that). But the article isn't about public health but energy policy.
I like the 10.5" more for most purposes although, as you say, every now and then the larger screen is useful. If it's just flowing text I'm reading, I actually prefer the Kindle Paperwhite but the iPad is sufficiently more versatile that that's what I almost always bring when traveling.
I vaguely recalled reading something like that before as well, this is where I read it initially: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/device-lets-blind...

As a person suffering from a disease which often causes blindness, I am particularly keen on the sensory-replacement science that we are dipping our toes into.

So is Google going to keep up this trend of self-criticism? Or have we finally found out how google defines "evil," and it's only things that involve literal killing?

In addition to people dis-engaging, it's interesting to see both in this paper and in other literature what factors can create feedback loops.

For instance a project which loses a few contributors could result in the other contributors getting overloaded/burnt-out, which could then repel new contributors, thus forming a negative feedback loop.

Usually when I see these sorts of papers come up I try to look at both the short term actionable items to-do/to-avoid as well as other notes which impact more long-term project/community health. There are a bunch of cool papers in this space and it's neat to see the slightly different views each one comes up with.
Fraud protection is not really “provided” by anyone, it is simply a reversal of the charge, leaving the affected merchant holding the bag.
Fascinating story. I was initially compelled to read it since I will soon be working in the "Robert Noyce" building, and now I know why the CEO has a cubicle like everyone else.
Without a doubt, stealing code like this is against policies at Microsoft.
The question is paradox, if wanting to do so is prerequisite to becoming able to do so. Secondly, the knowledge required to do so is prerequisite to determine some of the consequences. Third: other details outside of the specific field can only be understood by a larger group, so acting rogue would be flying blind. Specifically, I'm implying effects on the ecosystem, about which I at least have little idea.
No, we can't, because "more vs less government" is an almost purely synthetic wedge issue that is purpose-built to be an ambiguous and adaptable distraction. If you so much as implicitly acknowledge its legitimacy by using it to frame your discussion, you have already lost.
So, someone should be fired for violation of these (serious) policies?

Out of curiosity, were Speck to be known as vulnerable to key recovery attacks, would you still endorse it as better than no encryption?

Personally, I agree with his point - for applications where AES is unsuitable and no encryption is currently in use, it is better to wait for hardware to support AES (or an alternative to Speck to become available) rather than implement an algorithm that may lead to expanded vulnerability of the device via key recovery.
I operate a 150 person forum and I, too, am scared shitless of weaponized GPDR harassment.
Just to be clear, at the end of the day it will be rate payers who subsidize coal power producers if this goes through.

Ignoring any of the environmental problems, I'd rather just be taxed if we're going to be giving coal workers welfare.
Yes, and the ideal of "semantic HTML" might even point at a deep misunderstanding of what's required for a content-delivery standard. Consider how the MP3 standards were created: by specifying a decoder from bits and bytes to sound, so that we can have devices that "play" content many years from now. WHATWG's "Living Standard" thing and the ongoing sugaring of JavaScript syntax and other added complexity is completely antithetical to this.

If for nothing else, that's a valuable lesson learned in it's own right :)
Ditch Jenkins for Serverless DevOps
> On the contrary, I told you exactly how to change my mind (and that of others): Point to examples that we can read for ourselves and decide that yes, you really were treated badly in all these cases. That really would change minds.

Consider for a moment what you're asking me to do: name names. In several cases, for events over 5 years old. You're asking me to expose myself to more contention and argument to convince you that my feelings are not dirty lies that slander the OSS community.

The most respectful thing I can do for all parties is relate my experiences. If you find them to be so outrageously implausible that you feel the need to call me an asshole, there's not much I am willing to do that will change that. You're right, I could link to examples of people behaving badly (and inevitably, cases where I have behaved badly because those exist). But there is very little upside in that for me.

Like I said, this demand predetermines the outcome. It asks me to shoulder more commentary like this for the dubious promise of your personal approval. That's not a very compelling value proposition. Add to that that your tone disinclines me to believe you're actually asking in good faith, and I have absolutely no reason at all to reopen these topics.
The copyright notice is what must be included. The license states this very clearly.
I doubt that. Card companies surely make good money on interest, but there is risk baked into that.

A customer paying off their full balance means little risk yet they still make the 1-3% processing fee.

The problem is, installing all these kinds of extensions breaks all kinds of things, some time in the future, when you've long forgotten everything you installed/configured;

In theory i'd rather use Firefox over Safari.
However in practise, a lot of stuff doesn't work properly in Firefox - because of some extension or some about:config setting i set after reading posts like this.

When that happens, i always revert to the trustworthy Safari which just always works (...and has proper pinch-to-zoom, which in my opinion is a very basic feature Firefox is lacking.)
The original analogy was good - the commenter diminishes it by trying to portray the NSA person responsible as a different actor. This is the same person who has burned the community before. That old adage about fooling someone once applies here, and for good reason.
They could be on topic in lots of places, assuming they relate to some interesting point under discussion and are not just a grudge against X.

You're right in part, but standards aren't binary, they involve messy interpretation. There's no law of the excluded middle—it's all middle and it's all included. So instead of asking 'what are the axioms to be universally applied on this site', you need to ask 'what in this context will make the site better or worse in the long run'. I know that's unsatisfying but we can't do better.

So the point is more like this: had we a way to allow only the replies to job ads which are true and fair, while filtering out the misleading or disgruntled ones, that might make the job board better overall. But we have no such way, and the damage caused by false or misleading replies is the bigger risk.

Job hunting and hiring both suck, but there are limits to what we can do about it here. Allowing Who Is Hiring threads to turn into a combination job-board-plus-Glassdoor-style pelting range would not benefit the community in the long run. Knowing HN's limits and respecting them is one of the secrets of keeping this place going well. Not that it's a secret.
And downloading a scientific paper is theft too.

Drone.ci is treating GDPR like any other law by steering well clear of the territory it regulates. The US also has stringent rules about online gambling, payment processing, pornography, copyrighted material, etc. Normal website operators don't become familiar with these rules or how to thread a business through them. They simply don't engage in regulated activity at all, unless making a deliberate and well-capitalized entrance with the help of lawyers and compliance professionals. (Obviously there are some high-profile counterexamples, but those are, well, high-profile).

If the GDPR were a law about data brokerage or advertising, then forum operators would be similarly far away from it. But it's a law about the handling and storage of data related to people, which you definitely do if you're running a forum. Ordinary websites have never been that close to the boundaries of legality before, so people are scared.
All of the MPI communication was happening in C code (the built-in distributed code in Julia exists, and sometimes works, but that's the nicest thing you can say about it - it has not been leaned on heavily at all, and is often awkward to use). Lots of low level bit twiddling was involved in Celeste. Without Keno that application would have been lucky to top 100-200 teraflops.

Could you please address and refute his reasoning (probided in the prior paragraph), so as to encourage discussion?
This is a very simple checklist I recommend to anyone who asks me this question:

Know PHP? Take Laravel.
Know Ruby? Take Rails.
Know JS? Take vanilla Express.
Know Python? Take Django.

Sprinkle some jquery on top for the frontend with bootstrap for quick UI. And if you plan to support only modern browsers (not IE), you might not even need jquery. A whole lot of the api is built straight into modern browsers.

Any such tomfoolery such as Single Page Application Frameworks, Server Side Rendering of said frameworks is never required. Not even facebook, which built react for its own use, has a fully React rendered page.

Deploy them on a regular servers/stacks. No unnecessary docker, kubernetes, etc., is required, unless you are making a project for google where you will get a million hits on the first day.

"We" just developed the most capable soap box yet - "social media". It's worsening the problem.

I expressly do not mean the computation box as a new version of soap box (ie general means for swaying opinion), but as a type of private meeting place where individuals may freely associate for their own mutually-beneficial purposes.

Guerilla warfare can only exist when there's a local consensus against an (outside) imposing military. This possibility is obviated by democracy, which guarantees that the non-military majority opinion will carry without having to shoot. It's a last defense against outside conquerors, but not domestically-grown totalitarianism.

Our modern conundrum is that opinion is being defined by mass media, and now interactive-personalized mass media (the Inception effect is powerful). The same process that has anointed this succession of hopechange-actor presidents also assures those ammo boxen are mutedly waiting for the bogeyman.
But that's just it: I simply don't think Yudkowsky or any of the sort of people who would be enthusiastic about the sci-fi theories on SL4, or host extropy.org, or believe in Roko's Basilisk, or read Harry Potter fanfic and find it philosophically insightful, have a decent understanding of the AI domain. Everything about him and his followers smacks of fringe cultists completely outside mainstream research.

I don't think the chosen participants have a particularly deep understanding of the domain, they just think they do (because that's what defines Singularity believers, LessWrong readers, and people who believe they are hyper "rational" and that this is some kind of superpower). I think they understand AI no more than a Star Wars fan understands space travel.

> Then why not use those tools rather than the Web?

I think the author of the article writes from the app developer perspective - his users are on the web and due to it's reach he's stuck there. He does appear to be cheering on the web as the application platform, but that might be the most reasonable way forward just because of it's momentum. And it is somewhat decent app development platform.

All of this comes at the cost of large amount of complexity, there I agree.

Except that won't help you? Usually, payment processors are ordered to redirect funds as that is usually the easiest way, but if that is not an option, your customers will be ordered directly to redirect payments. As long as you have customers within the jurisdiction, they will find a way to make you not earn any money from them until your fine is paid.
If they ended in high paying profession and are reasonably happy then maybe their decision to follow advice given to them was right.

How odd, my experience is completely different.

I browse all the time in Firefox and Chrome with uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole. Not much is broken. In the rare case something is broken I flip DNSCrypt on and use Safari/Edge which don't have uBlock Origin installed. That happens like, what, once a year?

Seems like you could answer that question by wearing a blindfold and using the device for a few months. But, I doubt you are going to find a volunteer.

That said, if you use a tool for long enough it seems to gain a sense of touch. Your brain is just interpreting what you feel in your hands, but from the brain's perspective it's just signals either way and the shortcut is useful.

Given that malaron can actually cure Malaria (and not just prevent it as most people think) by killing the plasmodium directly in the liver, I think all the money for all the projects against malaria would be better invested in creating a dedicated african run factory to make those locally and cheap.

Or planting a lot of Artemisia annua, since both the CNRS and the Gates foundation now recognize this plant is a good alternative.

Ending malaria may take decades. We can prevent millions of people from dying now.
Completely agree. jQuery gave us a level playing field when manipulating DOM and even CSS from one browser to another was different: jQuery was effectively a DOM abstraction that allowed us to UI manipulation code once. Between that time and now the browser vendors have been hard at work actually making their rendering engines compliant with standards like HTML5, CSS3, and ECMAScript.now which is a huge boon to writers of libraries for making user interfaces, of which React is one.

My hope for the future is that web components will reach a point where the same component can be dropped into any front-end framework (Angular, Aurelia, Ember, React, Vue, etc) such that UI composition and layout libraries, components, and client-side application logic are self-contained and the libraries in which they are implemented can be swapped out with minimal effort.

Show HN: Verdaccio – Open-Source Lightweight private NPM proxy registry
I guess I’m old fashioned, but I highly recommend getting an x86 netbook and putting linux on it. They still exist, and are basically chromebooks with the crazy google bios removed.

For instance the acer 11” cloudbooks run linux well.

You can disable secure boot. However, if you want chromebook style security without google or the centralized PKI, you can purge the ms keys and enroll the bootloader of your choice without special signing from the distro.

You can also manually enroll the distribution’s keys, I think, but I don’t see any practical reason to do that.
Good points. So what's wrong with seperation of powers? As you said, when too much power is concentrated, people will suffet.

The commerce clause was obviously never intended to allow the federal government the powers it has today. At least in the case where state A is pointing a gun to your head and sending you to jail for growing medicinal marijuana for only personal use, when your state allows medicinal marijuana anyways, at least you can move with your feet to state B. As it is now this is not possible, because SCOTUS says that this falls under regulating commerce between states, somehow[1].

The only thing which the federal government should be allowed to do here is regulate the pollution externalities and commerce which literally crosses state boundaries.

It is hard to say, since we diagnose more then before. Anecdotally, some say that yes there is such rise. Then again, teenagers are now less violent then before, commit less serious crime, get pregnant less often and take drugs less.

It is hard to weight those against each other.

Wouldn't the social media "like" buttons still transmit back your IP address as the images are loaded?
I'd like to second this suggestion. You will find, or have likely already found, that a lot of the writing you do (class assignments, papers, thesis, etc) will focus primarily on the successes and be written in that expert POV. Documenting the journey is useful for your own records and is a great service if made publicly available. It's also an opportunity to reflect not just the technical topic at hand, but on your personal experience with it.
I thought that was just for first order systems?
