You see that in most things different + good; or something just plain great, even if it's not unusual. Apple, Lego, Ferrari, Zelda. You see it frequently in clothing, from bras to shoes, and in makeup. Lifestyle brands often develop cultish circles around them, as with Harley or Airstream, or Lululemon and Starbucks in the early days. Even in more plain/simple products like Lodge's iron cookware.

Sometimes they go more mainstream culturally like Zelda or Lego. Other times exclusion keeps the cult smaller, as with Ferrari.

It's rare for something to be great without developing a bit of a cult around it.

> They can't just take control of the traffic in the middle, which absolutely can be done in Tor with enough gov controlled guard nodes, as the arms race of patching has proven.

I think you're misunderstanding something here, with onion services traffic is e2e encrypted and self-authenticated, as Matt explains:

> When you connect to an onion service, how do you know no one is MitM'ing you? Easy. It's impossible. The bad guy would have to be in your browser (more accurately: between the browser part of Tor Browser and the Tor process it runs in the background) or between the Tor process the onion service operator is running and the webserver it's pointing at. If you assume your Tor Browser hasn't been compromised, and you assume the onion service is being run intelligently, then a MitM attack is impossible. (And if the onion service isn't being run intelligently, can you really trust its operator to do HTTPS intelligently?)

I don't know MA law but I'm skeptical that a bike passing on the shoulder of the outside lane has right-away over a car making a legal right turn. If the car wasn't in the outside through traffic lane then that would be an illegal right anywhere.

The biggest conflict with cars & bikes I see is spacing; either bikes move to the side and let cars pull up or (more likely) bikes swim up through traffic to the front. The biker is always the loser.

Speed differential is the other conflict, with bike &cars, bikes & pedestrians, fast bikes & slow bikes. Either the vehicles have an inherent diff, or the terrain is too fast/slow for one of the parties. Your best bet is too assume the worst of everyone else and try and keep the interaction in perspective of the bigger picture.

I left because I got tired of getting into meaningless spats with my conservative friends. Particularly when the same conversation in person would almost always provide to be terrifically interesting. Pre-election, a lot of what they posted was garbage content. Post-election, everyone appears to be posting garbage.

TL; DR Terrible easy-to-share content on Facebook motivated my friends and I to switch to iMessage groups.

The reason we (Cloudflare) don't share ECS info is to protect the privacy of the querying user by not exposing their full IP address to the authoritative resolver. We are exploring ways we can pass a subset of this information such that the user can be roughly geolocated without exposing their identity.

Cloudflare runs an Anycast network, we do geographic load balancing by terminating the user's connection at our closest point of presence (as determined by BGP) and then routing their traffic to the origin of the customer's choice from there. As we're not doing geo load balancing using DNS, I'm not sure what the information provided by 1.1.1.1 would do for us.
There should be a market for devices that sit between your wi-fi modem and the ethernet cable that fulfill these firewalling needs.

For security + convenience, they could be set up so that the internet can't update or configure it -- rather, you have to insert SD cards to upgrade or change rules. (Maybe the device already comes with "Full paranoia", "Dissident blogger", "All-family", etc. cards in different colors; updates are downloaded from the internet otherwise).

(1) Yes. (2) Yes. (3) Yes.

The main point is that Waymo had a 4-6 year head start over virtually everyone else in this industry. So it's not surprising that their technology seems significantly better! Obviously we don't yet know how much better, or if it's good enough to improve on the average human driver. But they seem to be pretty close.

Given they have the weight of Google behind them it wouldn’t surprise me if they are better at figuring this stuff out.

But they’ve certainly been much more cautious and mature. I imagine they recorded street view driving for years and used that as additional training data. It seems pretty clear they’re not pushing the envelope of their own abilities nearly as far as Uber, sticking to what they’re confident they can do as they keep trying to learn more.

> A Segway wasn't a road vehicle, but it also wasn't legal on sidewalks either (in many places) leaving it in a legal grey area.

Correct. How are these scooters getting away with this though -- riding on the sidewalks that is.

Nearly half the scooters in San Francisco are being ridden on the sidewalks. I know cos I routinely get 'nearly run-over' by a hipster riding these on the sidewalk almost daily.
Ever seen Psycho-Pass? It explores some of these notions in greater depth.
Rule of thumb:

6 months of living expenses in liquid cash (savings accounts, rotating CD ladder, money-market funds, etc.).

Any money that you'll need in the next 5 years in low-risk, non-volatile investments (eg. bonds, T-bills). This usually applies to retirees, but also to folks like entrepreneurs or commission salespeople that have unsteady incomes.

Only invest in real-estate, individual stocks, crypto, precious metals, foreign currencies, collectibles, etc. if you know what you're doing. If it's not your full-time job (eg. a venture capitalist or real estate developer), no more than 10% of your net worth in these investments.

Put the rest into broad-based stock index funds.

The whole point is a paradigm shift where sustainability is rewarded instead of uncontrolled growth. The reward can probably be political clout, to drive the direction of things moving forward. Essentially that is what we reward uncontrolled growth with currently.

The whole point is that I am assuming there isn't enough incentive on a large scale to deal with environment problem BEFORE they occur. With global warming, once we go past the point of no return, it won't be a quick fix. We will throw the equilibrium out of whack. If we were to pragmatically balance things now/going back a few decades, we could avoid the big swing that will occur.

So basically, the population may fall from 8 billion to 3 billion because of famine/war, etc. Immensely painful things... Or we could just have pragmatic restraint through rewarding sustainability, and it would naturally level out to 5/6 billion or whatever that number is... but without the immense pain of billion fighting/dying.

>It is literally being used every second of every day to project power and maintain stability around the globe (not to mention daily active engagements over Syria/Iraq/Afganistan etc.).

Yes, Syria, Iraq, and Afganistan are good examples of the exact opposite of that.

You're not wrong, _in theory_. A military is necessary. Maybe even a military as large as the current one is necessary. Maybe even a _larger_ military is necessary.

All of those things can be true, but these drones are not being built to dissuade China from breaking their policy of isolationism and attacking. The growth of the US military is not happening to "maintain stability".

The theory is sound, and the propaganda paints a good picture, but the reason why adding more power to that system is evil is not just because it's a military and militaries are somehow intrinsically wrong. It's because that military is being _used_ in evil ways.

Again, to make it super clear: The US needs a military, and it needs a big one. The idea that humanity could achieve peace by just losing all the militaries is nice, but unfounded. It is possible for all of these facts to be true, and yet for it not to be true that literally anything a military does is thus moral and just, yeah?

Howdoo: Perfect mingling of decentralization with social interaction
Almost every existing platform made for socializing is centralized and somehow steals the data privacy of its user. When network providers are themselves breaching the privacy so how can they ensure no cyber bullying and crimes in the networks? To address this issue “Howdoo” comes in the marketplace with complete decentralization.
Howdoo runs on the principles of Blockchain and smart contract, is a messaging forum and ensures complete scalability and security. It not only protects its user’s privacy but also incentivize them for creating/ sharing data/content and for meaningful participation. Apart from being incentivized for content generation, viewing advertisements will also be compensated by rewarding the viewers in similar manner (i.e. rewarding crypto uDoo) unlike Facebook and YouTube which do not have fair compensation system for its customers. You will have full control over your own data with best monetization and moderation of the data. It has faster and less expensive transactions and payments methods. The owned/ rewarded uDoo token can also be exchanged for fiat currency later.
If you wish to join this innovative and versatile network you have to purchase the uDoo crypto token. Last sale of ICO (token pre-sale) is 12-June-2018 with price setting of 0.10 US dollar per uDoo. Come join the future of social interaction and say “how’re you doing?” via “Howdoo”.

This would be amazing. The main reason I've never used Tor is the fear that it would make me look like I had something to hide (instead of just a general desire for privacy). If it were built into Firefox, I'd probably switch over from Chrome.

The thing that drove me away from Facebook is not fake news, but that there is news (and other viral content) at all, fake or not. 90% of my feed is content about people and events I have no connection to or care for. I thought to whole point of FB was to connect with people you know.

It's useless according to your metric of usefulness, not according to someone else's.

I think it is 100% a valid moral stance to care about your community or your nation, and not feel any moral obligation to help people outside of that. The world is too big and chaotic for every human to feel the same degree of moral obligation for every other human.

Moreover, maybe Make-A-Wish's main positive outcome is not that one kid gets a wish, but that everyone gets to 'live in a society where Make-A-Wish exists', thus kindling optimism and community and reminding us that the world is still kind in big ways. It is not hard to see that the net result on one's society of Make-a-Wish could, for some systems of evaluating morality of actions, be far higher than well-intentioned throwing money at some faraway place where you would never see any result, either if you care much more about local effects, or if you think signaling effects can be comparable in magnitude to actual 'good'.

Anyway, the crux of it is that your way of accounting for the morality of actions is actually pretty particular and you're demanding everyone else follow it and then shaming them if they don't. Not your morality, your system of accounting, which is far less 'obviously' right.

That is the same stupid quote that jumped out at me.

The friend may have suggested investing it because of the false technology claim.

The vague insight percolating through the grapevine may have been initially triggered by the false technology claim.

So even if the individual investor did not know about the specific false technology claim, they were still harmed by the lie.

This sentence is so aggressively stupid, it makes me wonder about this judge's impartiality.

Outrageous? No, just the mere cost that really happens.

Say, the data can only be accessed by the CEO personally. For privacy reasons, okay? Very reasonable, and totally in the spirit of the GDPR.

It can only be accessed in a very secure server location in Norway. Also commendable.

Our CEO needs to travel (first-class air travel) to Norway. He stays in a first-class hotel. Oh, and his time as value, too. So let's say three days business trip, that adds 1 percent of his salary to the bill.

Of course, this is an hypothetical, not-really-serious exaggeration. But it demonstrates the effect that would certainly happen on a much smaller scale.

Bay Area, Silicon Valley boom will continue, housing woes will worsen: economist
From "TRAINING A 3-NODE NEURAL NETWORK IS NP-COMPLETE":

We consider a 2-layer, 3-node, n-input neural network whose nodes compute linear threshold functions of their inputs. We show that it is NP-complete to decide whether there exist weights and thresholds for the three nodes of this network so that it will produce output consistent with a given set of training examples.

A wide range of political opinion is sometimes useful (e.g. in one of the houses of a legislative body). Moderate candidates are also useful. Rather than choose one voting system to use for everything, it might be appropriate to use a couple voting systems that have different strengths and weaknesses. So you might imagine one house of a legislature elected with approval voting, and a different house elected with a proportional method.
SimX | Oakland, CA | Remote Software Engineer, Unity VR

We're a high-powered team consisting of about half physicians and half engineers, all of whom have dedicated their time to achieving our mission. As an early startup, we're looking for new team members who are excited about our mission and have the drive to thrive in the startup environment.

Our company is based in the Bay Area, but we're interested in applicants from around the country - remote work is encouraged.
