Trying to understand on why phones are so dangerous combined with driving, now killing more people each year than drunks behind the wheel, research's been done showing people can't really multitask, only switch tasks rapidly. We end up doing a half assed job on everything, including being present for other people whether other drives whose life depends on you being sober and focused but also friends and relatives. I've seen countless parents focused on their phones not paying attention to their kids, which is really sad.

It's craziness as people could be much more productive if they did one thing at a time. That said, people who have the television running all the time probably aren't seeking to optimize their productivity.

Singapore’s Golden Gate Ventures announces a $10M fund for crypto deals
> It uses the Personal Belief Exemption for school children as a proxy for the general population of anti-vaxxers. So arguably a bit inaccurate.

Well, also there's been a lot of news events around the issue since 2015, which led to the elimination of the exemption, so its quite possible there have been signficant movements in attitudes in the last three years.
and they need to be freshly sorted, that is very important
So the award says it is supposed to be for researchers who discovered the "most impactful cryptographic attack against real-world systems, protocols, or algorithms"

Seems like that leaves us to figure out first whether something is a "cryptographic attack" (binary condition) and from there we only care about impact against real-world stuff.

All the candidates pass the boolean. I think EFail passes by the thinnest margin, because in many ways the cryptography is the least interesting part of the work. But they're all clearly cryptography not just "Eh, we found an RCE in this program which happens to do crypto".

So then it's down to impact. Efail loses there because even if you thought it was safe nobody actually does PGP or S/MIME. I've worked at places that had spent a lot of money setting up S/MIME, and still didn't use it. I wish I could say they did something better, but of course they didn't.

I feel like KRACK ought to have won on impact, because in reality it made a big splash (actual TV news mentions, that sort of thing) and even though you go in with WPA2 being vulnerable in plenty of ways, and come out having patched with WPA2 still vulnerable in plenty of ways, people did those patches.

ROCA's impact is too concentrated, if you're an Estonian crypto nerd with a Yubikey it feels like it's everywhere and destroyed everything. If you're my mother it had no impact on you whatsoever. In the Web PKI the main real impact was we found out that lunatics are connecting sensitive infrastructure stuff to the Internet with TLS, in many ways them being vulnerable to ROCA is the least worrying part. If the FIDO design used RSA maybe this would have turned out very differently.

Nobody cares about IOTA. This had no real world impact. There are (were?) Pwnies to celebrate "epic pwnage" and so-on, and IOTA could have been nominated for those if anybody cared. It's still a fun piece of work, but it doesn't need a "cryptography" award even from the Blackhats.
Perhaps try and cycle using the light. Couple months using it, one month off etc.
The main problem with cycling is that some cyclists are safer in the road while others are safer off of the road.

I happen to live in an area with wide (car width+ shoulders) so most of the time I'm there. However, there are a handful of left turns I make that result in me being in the vehicle left-turn lane at the signal lights. When the green arrow shows I'm lights-out sprinting through the intersection so I'm not holding up vehicle traffic. Cyclists can actually accelerate much faster than vehicles over the first couple of seconds and it's only 5 seconds or less through an intersection.

Having said that, my sprint power from a dead stop is from 6 - 15 watts / kg, depending on my motivation level. If someone is coming away from a dead stop at a lower power-to-weight ratio they should probably not be in the road since they will unnecessarily hold up traffic.
yes fuck go daddy they purposely did this because i didn't opt in for their paid privacy crap service. They also emailed the shit out of me.

The original ML was implemented in Lisp (Stanford Lisp) as part of the Edinburgh LCF (Logic for Computable Functions) theorem prover. Different syntax, types - but other stuff it had were easily shared in the implementation with the underlying Lisp: functions, higher-order functions, garbage collection, lists (with cons and append operators), lambda expressions, ...

Here is a version of LCF with that first ML from 1977: https://github.com/theoremprover-museum/LCF77

I would have severe reservations about working for an employer that resorted to his sort of dishonest tactic at an interview.
Then that doesn't really help anything here.

I asked how would this trigger anti-trust proceedings because Facebook is not abusing a monopoly position, they're just not letting other services post to their site.

You responded by basically saying "Yeah, but people think they are". Which really doesn't address anything. So I asked more directly what do they have a monopoly on.

I know people think they're a monopoly. I think those people are wrong. At least until they can tell me a monopoly on what.
Hosting companies never had to, because net neutrality is only about the Internet itself, not the edge services that host websites and whatnot.

One bit of hilarious irony is that the only reason people in the US can access the Daily Stormer is net neutrality (now just de facto), yet the Daily Stormer was full of people calling for the end of net neutrality.
The CEO of Ryanair, Michael O'Leary, is vehemently opposed to unions and workers rights. I imagine this is as much a personal vendetta for him as it is an exercise to maintain low costs which of course is Ryanair's whole business model.

If they have to increase their spending on workers as a result of this action, it is more likely to be an existential threat to the company rather than any regulatory or customer reaction.
So true. Sometimes, the answers are so much more simple than we think.
The 5% conditional doesn't make sense to me. After all, if it doesn't work out that 5% is worth next to nothing so they might as well gift it to you in that case.

As far as a 'low salary' is concerned, unless you have inside info as to why that stock should be worth the gap between a normal salary and a low one I'd value the equity at roughly $1.
> I don't know... cars stay on the road where I live. Cyclists will happily ride on the pavement and justify it with 'the road's too dangerous to cycle on'.

That sounds bad. I would not do that and would not support any cyclist who did. It's not something I see happening where I live.

> I'm more concerned in practice about my three-year old daughter being hit by a cyclist on the pavement, than by a car on the road.

Have you looked at the statistics for how often those things actually happen, and how bad the consequences are when they do?
Cost-reducing technologies build, rather than break, monopolies.

I'd long thought otherwise. I've come to admit my error.
Another HN thread people were giving their Samsung experiences. It seemed with few exception, Samsung is an average to below-average company that charges an enormous price for its projects.

Is this from massive marketing?

This article reads like an 'objective piece' but its loaded with Pro- Note9 technology with one section mentioning its price as a negative.
I just skimmed the paper [1], and their conclusion starts:

> We identified one colormap in particular to be optimal for viewing by those with or without CVD, which
we name cividis (Figs 4 and 5), generated by optimizing the viridis colormap and selecting the J'
linearization that maximizes the range of J'. We chose this map due to its wide range of colors, resulting
from a wide range of J0 values while still changing b0 significantly, and overall sharpness when overlaid
onto complex images.

So pretty closely related :)

28/30% cells are common in spacecraft and have been for more than five years, but they are expensive. A little less than 10k for something like 1 square meter only for the cells wouldn't be crazy.

Ask HN: Getting into computer architecture design?
I've recently decided I'd like to get into computer architecture design, mainly to try and improve security at that level, to avoid dma attacks from attaching new hardware to your machine etc.

Where would be good to do a PhD in this area? Alternatively are there startups in this area that I could join with my skill set (below) and pick up the knowledge via osmosis. Is there another path that I am missing?

I've got a background in sysadmin-ing and coding my own research VMs, I know my logic gates/adders from school back in the day. To improve my skill set, I'm starting to learn Chisel and reading more computer architecture books.
Ask HN: Anyone else have troubles with Facebook's app review process?
We've recently submitted an application that uses some basic Facebook APIs for business reviews and some other things and have, in each attempt, provided a user/pass for our system so they can review it. Each time they reject without seeing the accounts somehow.. I get the feeling they are blanket rejecting at the moment.
Horrible, why don't people think
This might sound odd but I agree. It is good that it is safe for bike and pedestrians to be on the same road, and a common rule of thumb for cooperation is that whoever is faster should yield to those who are slower. That is true for boats and planes, often true for cars and trucks.

A lot of tensions and unnecessary fear would be resolved if we just applied common sense and speed limits to roads. Have pavement and most bike roads like today but put a speed limit to that of a running person (around 15km/h (9mph)). At those speed and lower there is no safety concerns and tolerance between cyclists and pedestrians should be encourage. Then we have fast bike lanes with a max speed of 30km/h (18mph) and city car roads with the more common 40km/h (24mph) and 50km/h (31mph), both which pedestrian use should be discouraged because of the danger from increased reaction, braking and stopping time. If two roads of different speed cross then the lower speed limit should be used and who ever is faster should yield, and if accidents still happens then traffic lights, speed bumps, cameras and other methods to reduce speed should be applied.

By focusing on reaction, braking and stopping time you get a fairly decent prediction model of accident rates. This is what our assessment about what is dangerous should be based on.
> The problem is, we can't run time backwards and because of information loss there, many times, can be many possible situations that create the outcome we see.

We can still quantify that fact and include it in our reasoning.
"Thieves can break windows so there's no need to lock your doors". Fallacy.
> So if a cyclist runs a red light and nearly knocks me over, it's not the cyclist causing that, even if they could easily have just stopped at the light?

Sounds like it's the light that's causing it, given how much you're focusing on the light in your comments. Take the light out of the picture (which probably requires taking cars off of that road) and what would happen?
Tinted?
> the authorities simply have no credible authority left.

But it's the Russians!

I do think there was a Russian bot campaign. It was kind of obvious. But the rush to blame the entire phenomenon on them strikes me as disingenuous.

Even worse is the desire to blame the whole thing on human cognitive shortcomings while citing likely-not-reproducible mushy soft psych studies. It's a high-brow with-citations way of dismissing people as just "stupid."
To be honest, I find graphql syntax really weird. What you get back is json, why not make the query language json itself? So all the existing json processing tools on the frontend just work.

With the weird syntax, now you need a parser and checker, and you need to write some boilerplate for doing mutation syntax.

There’s a reason why everyone and their dog invented ORMs. So you could live in an object world and everything would just work. SQL translation magic would be just an abstraction.

GraphQl has some nice things, I.e you only fetch what you need, and the fact that that it exposes a service as a graph. However I’m not sold that it’s a big improvement over simple REST.
The journalist could have simply put "is more secure"—this is objectively true!—but then they got nervous, perhaps because they didn't understand the subject well enough, and decided to fall back to hedge phrases.

The statement is not as good as it can be, because it introduces uncertainty where in reality there is none.
One could look in to the circumstances that led the workers to feel the need to strike.

The field of programming simply isn't mature enough to reliably manage an election with millions of participants, especially when we have ancient traditions of vote counting that work well enough right now. Look at how fast the people at DefCon rooted a voting machine!

Think about the development of heavier-than-air flight. It was a thing for 50 years or so before commercial flights became common, and they had the collective world's genius spurred on by 2 World Wars to advance the field.

Entrusting something as critical and nigh-sacred as our elections to such a provably immature and insecure as modern voting machines, and there's little impulse to remedy the situation right now.
You can speed up withdrawal with negativity. Then you don't need all other stuff. You just forget the person, except perhaps as unpleasent expeirience from the past, and can go on to growing unburdened.

Well interestingly they couldn’t specify upfront and wanted to know whether equity wise, the structure made sense. If yes, the salary could be negotiated. However from what it sounded like, they were looking to keep the salary level at enough to just cover the basic expenses.
Well, they at least note that the pilots want to be paid when they're on standby, which is not an unreasonable demand.

Iapetus: Prometheus metrics server for Node.js services running Kubernetes
At no point I was trying to argue against free speech. Just about the notion that "lie is almost always a matter of perspective". I'm aware there has been criticism of the concept of objective reality in philosophy, but I'm also not aware of any framework of thought that would fit the observable reality better. In fact, all the progress of science and technology, as well as all communications we do with each other, are based on assumption that there is an objective reality which we can observe, and about which we can exchange information that lead us to create a consistent, shared view.

Nah, people will just accuse him of publishing different binaries, or find something else to be upset about. You can't win against concern trolling by giving in to their demands.

>Your last paragraph really shows how easy it would be / is

His last paragraph is the equivalent of 'I'll create a GUI interface using visual basic; see if I can track the killer's IP' it displays a complete lack of understanding or knowledge of campaign finance, how the electoral system works, and how it's manipulated.
But that's not really the difference, since there is plenty of incitement to violence that is politically palatable.
I would be surprised if Ryanair could keep going. Anecdotally, I know a number of people that will never use them again - either because they themselves have had problems or they know people that have. There's some real animosity growing towards them.

All things being equal, people would usually pick the cheapest flight. But Ryanair are now making it abundantly clear that their flights are not equal to others. When you pick a flight you need confidence that your flight will take off, and that you can get home. It amazes me that Ryanair are willing to lose people's confidence like this, it will take a long time to get it back, if at all.

That would make it worse, since the issue is that you often can't see the bike coming. (Bikes are quiet and quite difficult to detect in peripheral vision.) When there's a convention that everyone stops at certain times to let pedestrians cross the road, you don't have to worry too much about that -- if people actually follow the rules.
I think that people might be trying to solve REST problems with GraphQL. GraphQL's strength lies in the query, not the result. Returning JSON from a simple REST endpoint was never the issue. In fact, I think the argument could be made that GraphQL serves best as the ORM layer between multiple front-ends (A React/Angular website, iOS app, Android App, and Electron desktop). Rather than rely on different ORM implementations on each client, abstract the responsibility to the GraphQL layer. REST doesn't really serve that particular role. But, like anything, we have to ask ourselves if we actually need it.
