> So I would hope that when presented with an automated report that the car was involved in an accident along with the exact coordinates, that they would come investigate to see if the driver was injured in the accident and unable to call for help.

Exactly this. Also, I have some family members working for the police in Dutch rural areas, at 3 am they'd happy to head out, because they're usually just waiting for something to happen.
No, even if 100% of cars and trucks were electrified, light sweet crude would still be the feedstock for fuel for aircraft, ships, boats, trains, small engines (gas-powered tools, etc.), portable generators, and so on.
Pay people fair for the overtime and I see no big problem with this? All depends on how you define fair though.
I'm open to simply acknowledging the Internet is no place for free speech. My point is that ISPs are just as vulnerable to brigading as Facebook or Microsoft, so arguing that it's not a big problem because they're still free to host content on their own hardware is missing the point.

It just seems odd how rabidly pro-Net Neutrality places like this were only to make cases like yours a few months later when free speech on the net actually arrives on the chopping block. How long will it take before my ISP blocks Netflix ostensibly because of complaints of offensive content?

But besides that, it's easy to draw a pretty clear distinction between allowing someone's web site to be accessible as compared to being actively compelled to send whatever outgoing transmissions a group likes. Packets are packets, but just as we don't allow screaming "fire" in a crowded theatre, freedom of speech is still incredibly important even if not absolute.
Ask HN: Where's the downvote button?
I've been wondering for awhile now how some comments on HN become greyed out. Is there a downvote or report button?

I'm also having a suspicion that the [-] button on the right, which I've been using to collapse threads, might be the one. Either way, I find HN's UX confusing.
Incredible, was there ctv footage?

Reading things like this makes me realise how easy it is to steal things still. Much like the old days when people could exchange fake cheques at banks for cash... Most of the world is still built on trust.
It would've worked better if more people were doing it. I for one am disappointed the World Cup hasn't suffered any interruptions that would allow to showcase Russia's issues on the world stage.
Well, since we are talking about a common resource and public law that applies to everybody, the subjectivity of value is not really much help. A flat congestion tax is proposed, so I was clearly referring to the monetary value one places on his own time, the amount of money they are willing to give up to reclaim that time.

Cost vs. speed is a fundamental trade-off in transportation, nothing groundbreaking here. It allows an economic discussion and market allocation of various individual preferences. Otherwise we are stuck into positions like "my time with my family has infinite subjective value, so I should clearly be allowed to race my Formula 1 car down 5th avenue back from work" - and there is really no way for me to prove that you don't really love your family to that degree.

What we can all agree is that time wasted in traffic is net social cost that affects everybody, and that it takes very little extra vehicles on the road to go from peak road efficiency to gridlock. The public resource of road infrastructure is badly mismanaged by leaving it in a a congested, unproductive state.
An army of conscripts has a similar effect. When not only the "expendables" of society are sent to fight and die, politicians and voters will think differently about sending the army.

Not just that, because of tourists misbehaving everywhere, there are also just way more crimes/disturbances than in normal city/town.
What would "winning" these wars even look like? There is no answer to that because these are not wars that are meant to be won. How can you win something when you don't even know what winning means? These are simulacra wars unlike a war like WW2. Every war America has fought after WW2 has been a simulacra war, not intended to be won but intended to advance random political goals at the expense of our soldiers lives. It's as if America is stuck in a loop, relieving WW2 over and over again but without any actual enemies or wars to fight. Thus we create simulacra wars, wars that shouldn't exist, wars for profit and politics. No one in their right mind could possibly believe these wars are making us safer or whatever the propaganda du jour is. A lot of people just simply can't grasp the idea that they are being duped and lied to by their government, sent to die for nothing. I hope that tuition money is worth the ptsd or the lost limbs because people fighting these wars sure as hell aren't doing anything good for the rest of us Americans. That's why we have the constant "support the troops" bullshit at football games and everywhere else. If there was really a threat, if there was a real necessary war, that bullshit would be unnecessary. Men willingly volunteered to fight in WW2. Today, you couldn't have a draft without mass upheaval, protests, and resistance. I'd rather go to prison, my ultimate nightmare, than fight in these simulacra wars for others' profit. If there was a draft, I'd rather protest by shooting my commanding officers and die than fight in a bullshit war. Clearly though, there won't be a draft but about 1% of the US population is either so desperate for money or delusional that they are willing to fight these staged, unwinnable, simulacra wars. And so on and on they will continue.
If you get cancer on your lips, tongue or cheeks you’ll notice it quickly and you can just cut them off. You’re probably not going to die from that.

Your counterargument misses the point made explicitly within the article:

"They may have vast resources, and in particular they may have more resources than the defenders—but they're still limited. Why? They'll throw enough resources at the problem to solve it, i.e., to hack the election, and use anything left over for the next problem, e.g., hacking the Brexit II referendum… There's always another target."

Too: there may be multiple parties attempting hacks. Getting your opponent to overextend (a war of attrition) is a time-honoured strategy.

How to Convert Blender Models to WebGL in 4 Simple Steps
I wonder how many of these people are actually active coders which gives them authority on opinionating on how to interview developers. VPs (especially Chief XYZs) are typically good sales and marketing guys with engineering background that often can only be described as hopelessly out of date (or more politely "has-beens"). They need to keep their heads out of real development stuff.

I'm also frustrated with how people have developed disdain for anything whiteboarding. Asking leetcode puzzles in interviews is bad. Asking questions from CTCI is worse and amateurish. But... asking to whiteboard a problem that you had to solve on your own job in limited time is good! Interviewing is hard because crafting such questions in a way that it abstracts away minutia of transient technologies but retains essential problem solving is hard. This is exactly why, a right policy for a company is to establish being an interviewer as a privilege that needs to be earned because not even all brilliant programmers are good at it and interviewers must take time to craft good question and show care. When they don't, they turn to leetcode, pick random question and give whiteboarding a bad name.

And no, whiteboarding is not bad. What is bad is asking to do X using MongoDB and RectJS because technologies like that are transient. Specific technical tasks that employees might perform in a given point in time are transient. Ultimately what matters is ability to learn, process and use that to solve a given problem. Ofcourse, unless you are company who does nothing but data driven web forms. In that case, yes, go ahead and ask candidate to do just that.
Recently I just heard of a company that finally, in 2018, upgraded their IE requirements to IE 11.

On the other hand, given that CSS grids were proposed by the XAML team, IE 11 does support the initial version of them, which is already better than not having them at all.
Well, that sheer incompetence indeed disappeared when it was time to cover all this up. Was that nefarious? Because this is what eventually motivated McVeigh, not some strange conspiracy theories. Let me quote:

"I waited two years from "Waco" for non-violent "checks and balances" built into our system to correct the abuse of power we were seeing in federal actions against citizens. The Executive; Legislative; and Judicial branches not only concluded that the government did nothing wrong (leaving the door open for "Waco" to happen again), they actually gave awards and bonus pay to those agents involved, and conversely, jailed the survivors of the Waco inferno after the jury wanted them set free.

"Other "checks and balances" likewise proved futile: media awareness and outcry (the major media failed in its role as overseer of government ally); protest marches; letter campaigns; even small-budget video production; etc. - all failed to correct the abuse."

It is a liberty, it's the closest thing we have to a truly inalienable right, mostly by virtue of being un-punishable. Short of strapping someone to a bed permanently it's impossible to forcibly prevent.
Or you could just not become a soldier and go to begin with--then there won't be a person next to you who needs you to fight for them. But hey, why introduce logic and reason into the situation when everyone clearly wants to keep them out?

We should go back to real mode. Imagine all the sudden possibilities. No pesky memory barriers, no protection faults and superb integration of applications of all kind. Application could even share the same memory and the better one wins.

But seriously: I don't think this "feature" is a real backdoor. It is nonetheless an interesting topic.

I am more concerned about bugs and backdoors in modules like TPM/ME or other even less documented surprises. Wouldn't be the first time that happened and we can only hope, that better people find these type of vulnerability first.
Thanks for your answer!

Is TCO on the roadmap, or is the "mess it does with stack traces" too much?
It got close, but it was limited by its design/diameter, such are the woes of synchroton radiation and accelerating the lighter charged particles. As far as I know they pushed its limits all they could (burning it) before shutting it down to replace it with the LHC. Too bad really, as the nicest accelerator for studying the properties of a Higgs is an e+e- collider and at some point at least one will/should be built. The LHC was built because something new had to show up at around 1TeV tops, it was either a Higgs boson or new physics (not all the energy of the pp collision is available for say a qq collision, because quarks are in a bound state, 14 TeV for pp at the LHC means approx 2 TeV for Higgs or new stuff).
Domino Theory is interesting because it implies a strategic success condition. USA achieve their strategic aim if (a) the Vietnam domino doesn't fall. OR (b) the Vietnam domino falls gently and doesn't knock the next one over.

During the course of the Vietnam war, the communism revolution in China lost it mojo, and the impetus to spreading revolution throughout Asia declined. Viewed as a delaying-action/fighting-retreat the US involvement in Vietnam went on long enough to achieve its strategic aim.

I asked about it at a later time, but after a certain time, the car ownership officially gets transferred to the insurance company, so any updates from the police would go to them unfortunately. From what I heard, however, police wasn't planning on spending too much time on this, because these types of cases never really result in much. Unless this becomes part of a major investigation into similar cases, it'll be dead in the water.

> makes me realise how easy it is to steal things still

So yeah, you're right about this. Statistics actually seem to show that low impact, organized crime pays in the Netherlands [1], since police is too busy with high impact cases. High impact often being being defined as burglaries, robberies, rape, etc. that have long-term impact on the victims well-being.

I basically agree here. Some people, like DeVault, don't seem to think that there is any other threat model than "protect sysadmins from nationstates like the US or big corporations or Mossad".

I find such viewpoints rather dissapointing because I myself as a sysadmin don't hold it. My threat model is "someone steals my phone" and "someone (<1Mil. $ funding) tries to hack me". I don't particularly care that I don't know if the sand that was used to make silicon for my phone was properly sourced and audited for backdoors or plastic shovels.

I want me and my family to be reasonably secure against the background noise of the internet.

Cool stuff, very impressed!

Bash is nice since it's available on many systems and is a slightly better superset of sh. However Bash is a large, ugly beast. There are a million edge cases, inconsistencies, obscure options, counter-intuitive intricacies and minute differences between versions and other shells. There's already a ridiculous amount of completely unnecessary complexity to it. I wouldn't want to increase that surface any further.

In practice, I try to keep stuff minimal, transparent and close to defaults. Usually that means -x and POSIX compliancy when possible.
Lyvly secures $4.6M to expand the world’s first shared living community
Sure, but only if you run your business in a way that means people are able to say no. People will often agree to work unhealthy hours because they fear they'll be let go, or passed over for promotion, if they refuse. Exploiting that fear is very wrong in my opinion. The way the article frames the question doesn't make it clear either way, but personally I'd be very concerned if someone said they could do a job if I paid enough without adding a caveat that they'd also need to consult their staff.
He really is. We just got done hanging out with him at Black Hat, and he's one of the nicer people I've met here. A+++ would hang out again.

First thing, apply for companies you like even if there is no fitting job posting. Then search for job postings read them carefully and if you like it, have a look at the company website and some rating sites for employers (like kununu). If everything is fine and you could imagine working there, apply for the job. Get to know the team and everything else at the interview. Afterwards, you know if you want this job or not.

Those are weak arguments. Author basically says hacker doesn't want to hack country A because then he will run out resources to hack country B. Seriously?

As mentioned in comment, hacking election is very cheap. On back of the envelop, I think $1 million should buy you enough ads to precisely target handful of swing precincts that will give you just 1-2% of the boost needed to put you over the thin win margin. If US elections were won by say, 25% win margins then it would become more expensive because it would be hard to scale. But most elections have less than 5% win margins these days and there are very good predictions available on swing districts. If you have access to voter registration database, you can literally target your ad at individual household level. As shown by last 4 major elections, just even flipping less than ten thousand household can achieve victories.

I can only recall certain number combinations and I never bothered to do the drills to learn my multiplication tables. I can multiply very basic things (fives, tens, elevens) but aside from that I gotta use a calculator.

Takes me awhile to calculate things in my head and i'm often off by around 5-9 from the actual answer when I do work it out.

I know a bunch of methods of solving things though so if I have a calculator handy I can calculate the stuff I want but mental arithmetics was never something I valued as a kid.
My thoughts are that since Vietnam the neocons have continually pushed for one 'do over' after another to prove that 'war works'[1]. So every neocon war is a war unto itself. The worst thing is because the motivation for war is ideological, failure can't be accepted rationally. Some small success is motivation for a bigger war. Failure motivation to double down.

[1] As opposed to what every disinterest person knows, that war is terrible, impossible to control and casts long dark shadows into the future.
All democratic elections are hacked, not in a technical way but in a social way. Take my country India, for example.
The winning party in almost all elections till 2014 got just under 40% of the total vote. Minorities form 15-20% of the vote bank and the minority vote is always consolidated, i.e. they vote enmass for a single party (usually for The Indian National Congress (INC)). In other words, anywhere between 15-20% of the 40% mentioned earlier is the minority vote. The majority vote is always divided between the many many warring parties and the minority vote becomes the king/queen maker. No wonder the INC has always danced to the minorities tune.

I guess the majority had had enough and came together for the first time in 2014, resulting in a win for Narendra Modi.

I also guess the same situation happened in USA in 2016. The usually apathic/uninterested majority were frustrated/angered with years of ’minoritism’ and bonded together into a single consolidate vote bank that resulted in Trumps victory.
How is this "universal truth self-evident"?

I'd love you to show me that there is a repeatable and measurable experiment that determines that as a fundamental function of the universe, people should have equal rights.

Personally, I don't believe that (the fact it's a universal truth) to be true, morals and ethics are a subjective topic and stuff like "everyone should have equal right" is something that most people including me can agree on fairly easily. Other people might not agree.

Yeah, a US policy of destructive interference in Afghanistan without stabilization after the immediate aim is acheived has never had any serious adverse long-term consequences that would militate against that.

(Neither, I suppose, in your world, has the same thing in Iraq caused problems with merely completely botched stabilization ignoring everything we've ever learned about that topic instead of no stabilization at all.)
Game (and other biota) tend to distribute latitudinally, along uniform climate zones, far more than longitudinally, across them.

Bison have a daily range of about 2 mi. (3.2 km). This would give a seasonal range (over 90 days) of only 200 miles (320km) or so , and likely far less.
