It's the same problem. Sick people should not be laying in the streets or running around attacking people, they should be in places where they are getting help. The fact that it is not happening is the problem, and it's not a problem of "privilege" or anything like that - it's the problem of city management, because that's why city management exists in the first place - to make things like that not happen.
From their repos, it’s clear that this particular software community has a strong agenda; rape, incest, and anti-black racism.

I’m very glad that they pointed this out. FOSS code and FOSS communities are successful when their work is used, shared, promoted, and contributed to.

I’m all for freedom to be edgy, but this is a dangerous and expressly hateful community, openly devoted to radicalzing young men into hating their own species.

I distinctly remember watching the Amazon conference when they demonstrated their facial recognition software. It occurred to me that if this technology was around in Mao's China or Stalin's Russia the twentieth century might have been darker and bloodier than it already was. This technology certainly has a lot of potential for improving, but it also has a huge potential for violating human rights. Kudos to the author for talking about this.
It has to be fake news to call it fake news. Simple term, simple criterion. If you want to talk about other ways in which news can be inaccurate, you can use one of the many terms for that. It is not 'fair to say' that something that isn't actually fake news is fake news. That's a weird thing to insist on when complaining about inaccuracies.

> And if the USPS purchased a license to use a photograph, and Getty sold them the rights to use the photograph, wouldn't Getty bare some responsibility?

The USPS have to bear the responsibility first - the sculptor shouldn't have to dig into all of the USPS' business dealings before filing a lawsuit.

However the USPS have a contract with Getty in which either Getty misrepresented what they were selling, or the USPS did not read the contract correctly. In the former case USPS should be able to recover some of the loss from Getty, but it looks more like the latter.
Because they lost just 3.5m of 70m in pure profit?
No, it is a contract. There are prices on the menu, and you are agreeing to that price when you ask for the item. Not all contracts need to be signed, but they have to be somehow agreed to.

This whole system is headed for a major reckoning.

> It's already been established that numerous corruptible parties can break https (e.g. by hacking a cert).

* Scandal and investigation when they do, potentially leading to removal of trust from an associated CA.

* Easier and easier to detect (recently mandatory disclosure of all publicly-trusted certs https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/ct-po... and you can sign up to get alerts when a certificate is logged for a particular domain name).

* Onion sites also derive cryptographic security from the onion name itself. (I'm working on getting them to be allowed to have DV certs, but even without certs, the onion rendezvous protocol confirms that you've reached a party that controls a key specified in the name itself.)

(Someone else mentioned HPKP, which I've also touted in the past as improving HTTPS security, but it seems HPKP enforcement is going away, so we can't necessarily tout it for this purpose anymore...)
Yes, I loved this book! It’s compact enough that you can really get a flavor of things very quickly.
Then you'd have the speculation about if the spirit or the mechanics of the contract are to be upheld. Also if it's a spirit then who's evaluating that?

It's a rabbit hole that leads to a world of problems that are unfamiliar to those who live with 'western' contracts. Verbal/handshake agreements might be closer to what your proposing.
How to search for Open Amazon s3 Buckets and their contents
Really? Somehow that 'only' has included every LCD monitor I've used for more than a decade. Windows AA is more aggressive, but it is still a huge improvement over the jagged over-hinted font rendering you get without ClearType.

No AA makes sense for DPI greater than about 300, but for anything less, with visible pixels, which is probably most non-4K monitors, I would bet most people prefer AA on. In general, people always prefer AA for 3D and all sorts of other rendering, at lower DPI.

So, this is a typical Apple decision to abandon anyone who doesn't have the latest device from them.
Note that HPKP enforcement is being dropped as a mainstream browser feature, so we may not be able to rely on this particular argument much in the future. (Although an attacker might not know for sure whether some target might not still be enforcing a pin, presumably not many sites will keep announcing pins at some point.)

I think you're reading too much into the phrase "rattle off". By that I simply meant that the interviewee should know those things well enough to answer correctly and confidently.

And it still amazes me that this position seems to be controversial here on HN. There are people who have expressed unequivocal agreement, to be sure, but a significant number seem to see that stuff as obscure arcana that a developer would not typically need to know.
Churn at the top is the exact thing you want in a dynamic, robust economy. You don't want equality. You want movement. Sure, Russia and Athens had some churn. But it was incredibly low.

My impression is that SecureDrop is developed mainly by Americans and GlobaLeaks mainly by Europeans, and each might also have been deployed primarily on the continent where it was developed. If my impression is right, there might be an ongoing reason that particular groups of people are more familiar with one than the other.

It's kind of a funny definition of support.
Every website you visit has TOS. Facebook in particular has extremely clear TOS, written in plain English, that everyone consents to. In Europe, most websites explicitly ask for consent now. Doesn't seem very different to me.
> Anonymity doesn't stand on its own. The right to anonymity is only important because it protects other rights. If we're not trying to preserve people's ability to express ideas that the government dislikes, then who cares if their identity is public?

The same is true of speech. It is a right that exists to protect other rights. Speaking, in and of itself is nice, but the function that right serves is the circumscription of state power.

> Anonymity is a tool to shield people from otherwise unpreventable consequences. Separating them is like saying, "you have a right to privacy, not a right to encryption." One of these things allows you to get the other thing.

I totally agree. That doesn't make it equivalent to the right to speak, however. The fact that anonymity augments the right to speak is great. That may be an argument for having a right to anonymity. It does not make the right to anonymity equal to the right to speak.

> Think about why voting is usually anonymous. Most countries recognize that even with the general restrictions on government retaliating against speech, it is fundamentally impossible for us to block all of the many avenues it has to punish citizens. The only way to block that is to not allow it to know who specifically to target.

Again, totally agree. We don't disagree that attribution has a chilling effect on speech. You're preaching to the choir here. We disagree that the right to speak is inalienable from the right to have your speech unattributed.

> People aren't conflating anonymity with free speech because it makes the argument stronger, or because they're trying to sneak it in on the side. I couldn't care less about anonymity, in except that it is the only strategy that anyone has ever come up with that allows me to have a large number of other fundamental rights that I do care about.

Your argument seems to be that "anonymity makes the right to free speech stronger, therefore the right to speak and the right to speak anonymously are equivalent". Which, to my reading, does not follow.

I think there are great arguments for the right to speak anonymously. I think you have articulated several of them nicely. I personally believe in the right to speak anonymously. But it should not be discussed as if it is the same right as the right to speech, because it is not.

Anonymous speech has costs and it has benefits. One of those costs is president. I still think it's worth it on balance, but if you say that anonymity and speech are the same, you're saying that arguments against anonymity apply to speech, and that's a dangerous game that I, and I don't think even you, really want to play in this political climate.
you are probably taking this stuff too serious.

There's even more interesting research indicating that context of support is crucial. (Gable, et al, Safely Testing the Alarm: Close Others’ Responses to Personal Positive Events, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2012, Vol. 103, No. 6, 963–981)

This interesting study provides strong evidence, it's much easier to support a partner in context of a positive event than in context of a negative event. Context appears to play an even more important role than responsiveness or sensitivity of the person giving support. In fact, even if a partner recognizes that he or she received helpful support for a negative event shortly after the event occurred, by several weeks later the support is not generally remembered as positive.

If you want to support your partner in a helpful way, make sure you're supporting them when good things happen, and don't count on rescuing someone when things go wrong.

> My point is that nobody would nor should take that project any more seriously than the drawing of a teenager who is trying to be "edgy".

Like I said in response to 'ehsankia, it would be unreasonable for me to want to police the language of edgy teenagers everywhere.

The original question was "why I gave a damn," and I think I answered it: I find myself concerned when I see projects and products hosts on venues that are aggressively receptive of bigoted language (if not bigotry itself, and that's a big if).

> that you are making accusations about someone based on something they didn't do.

I stated my observation based on something they did do: choose to host on a service that appears (on principle) to be happy to host epithets. That makes me question their character and state of mind; it's neither hard evidence nor an accusation.

> It is your code, but to me that sounds like "you are either with us or you are against us"

> but their top recommendation is a Chinese laptop with a design ripped-off of the MacBook Pro

Well, 'ripped-off' is too strong for this very case, as laptops now days looks more or less the same (Just like smartphones).

As a Chinese, I don't think I'll ever buy this Matebook thing (big Dell and ThinkPad fan here), but what I interested is how Apple would respond to all these 'ripped-off' products. Will they finally decide to design something that I don't resist to buy?

For example, the soldered SSD, that's a big NO NO for me. Especially when I realized that few drops of coffee can send me to the deep depression for a long while.

And also, the keyboard. I'm 100% admire those who can type on it all days and still managed to keep all their fingers at full length.

About the 'ripped-off' thing, I think it's fundamentally because one simple reason: It's not very hard to build laptops similar to Macbook anymore. Samsung, LG, ASUS etc, all started to make their own version of 'Macbook's (they call that Ultrabook).

To me, when you saw everyone is rolling out similar products, it's a sign of everybody is hitting a global glass ceiling. Only wonder is who can penetrate it first.

I think you misread. It's 2.6 and 6.2 (in millions of USD)

You might also find that it's not so weird in that this valuation is not general but specific to road improvements.

It could be explained by the relative prevalance of road fatalities, which would skew the relative political importance:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-r...

Note that traffic fatalities per 100k of population are 2.9 for the UK and 10.6 for the US.

The cat who left the bag is probably dead by now, but i'd like most of the commercial aspect of the web to simply go away with the exception of paid services that i actually seek myself (e.g. i'm fine with the web allowing me to go to an eshop or egrocery to buy stuff, to a hosting provider to rent a server, to a game developer/publisher to buy games, etc). I'd also be fine with buying "magazines" in the form of ebooks (no annoying DRM though), be it per-issue or a subscription, assuming of course the content quality is better than what people would put out for free on their own time (but TBH i expect people would put out quality content for free anyway). I know some would say that this has been tried and it doesn't work, but this isn't really the case because it hasn't been tried in an Internet without alternatives so we don't really know how it'd pan out.

I do not expect any of this to ever happen.
