here's a genetics paper that covers this topic:
https://investigativegenetics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Issues with the paper and its relevance to the platform it was published in notwithstanding, I think that we have two highly politicized sides, one wishing to promote a finding of "this is how things have been through history" as "this is the way things ought to be" (The MI staff expressed this concern), and another side that seeks to minimize or hide these findings because it will hinder efforts to engineer a "better" future.

I think both sides are causing problems and this kind of stuff is getting tiresome.

Nope we couldn't save ourselves. That's why it's called an extinction level event. If you have say a 50 km^3 asteroid on a course to earth (about 1/10th the size of Vesta) there is little we could do on short notice. It might be another story if we had a long time to prepare. For example if the asteroid had a favorable composition, we could try drilling into it for a decade or two, in the hope that we could explode a nuke in a carefully engineered hole to try to alter it's course without breaking it.
Eccentric billionaire gives $300K tip to casino dealer.

Casino dealer pays for kid's college education.

Kid grows up to become scientist.

Eccentric billionaire has now made a charitable contribution to advancing the sciences!

(I'm half joking, but only half. The actual consequences of economic activity are often strange and difficult to predict. Oftentimes, a billionaire giving millions to science means scientists get paid more but no more actual science gets done. Similarly, a billionaire giving millions to charity pays the salary of many grant-writers, but the effect on the ostensible beneficiaries is muted or even negative. Meanwhile, the biggest driver of American scientific dominance post-WW2 was Adolf Hitler, who a.) forced all the good scientists in Europe to emigrate or die b.) convinced America that they really needed an atom bomb before Germany got it, which got all of the best scientists in the world working together in close proximity and c.) setup the Cold War, which was the gift that kept on giving for U.S. government science & technology funding.)

I have already sent my reaponse in, I definitely implore everyone to read the bill and write an appropriate response. This isn't an anit-encryption bill specifically, it's a framework for strong-arming companies into undermining all consumer security measures no matter what they are.

I will say, I found the bill palatable and sympathetic to the concerns of industry. I am impressed at the delicacy of the bill. I still disagree with it fundamentally and emailed to that effect. But I am impressed by our government's ability to read the situation.
I don't think police is usually in these groups; it's just intended as a warning sign for potential, say, burglars, that the people in the neighbourhood are watching out for each other.

In practice, these groups are sometimes used by the racist neighbour to "warn" their neighbours of dark-skinned people walking around. And it's useful for organising neighbourhood events.

Relational Program Synthesis
While I agree that the GoF book is way overrated, I think you're being a bit harsh. Most of the patterns are actually tricks to overcome limitations of statically-typed class-based languages like C++ and Java. They can be useful in these languages but are not necessary with dynamic languages. Take Strategy for instance, with Python or JS, we'd just use a callback but in old Java you couldn't do that, hence the need for a more complicated technique. Creational patterns also mostly fall in this category. Some are so trivial (Template Method, Adapter), that it's hard to understand why they make them such a big deal.

Among the few patterns that are more generally useful and have stood the test of time, we'd find Composite, Command and of course Observer.
Towards a distributed and real-time framework for robots
It's a pity that phones recompress the JPG when doing Save To Camera Roll.

I'd like to build a system for distributing mini-apps as images, bypassing the App Store.

A JavaScript bookmarklet could be used to provide a basic "bootloader" that provides an "upload image" button. Then a binary representation of the HTML could be loaded from the image data.

The problem I had was lossy recompression - colours bleed across edges, so the binary data was corrupt after the first save. I'm still not sure how to work around that problem.
Can anyone comment on how this is likely to affect multinational entities like Apple? Given the Australian market is so small, would it not more sense to leave the jurisdiction entirely rather than compromise security? Same goes for App makers like Signal. Why bother with Australia? (I'm Australian, and really don't want to see this happen FWIW, but it seems the rational decision)
Since perceiving art is highly subjective, couldn't it be subject to the same kind of placebo-like effect that makes a more expensive wine taste subjectively better than a chemically identical cheaper wine?
The first time I used Java, in the 1.0 days, we wrote an application and deployed it to Solaris, HP/UX and AIX. We found a bug on AIX which would crash the VM, and reported it. IBM said it would be months before the next release, so we rewrote the application in Perl.

>This entrepreneurialization goes hand-in-hand with the condition of precarity, feeling like you have to work your ass off, have to stay at the top of your game, to keep making a living, because you have no other way to live.

It's more of a precarization than an entrepreneurialization.

An entrepreneur has bigger stakes but also a bigger payoff than being paid to ride their car as an Uber for example.
Well, it does go to someone who probably needs it more.

Except for when it goes to fuelling drug wars in Mexico or providing a market for human trafficking (which always seemed like a too-polite word for what it is - slaving).
I'm sure it's incredibly difficult to defend your country against endless attacks and probing for weaknesses, as Israel faces. But I think they aren't doing a good job protecting the lives of non-combatants like the Palestinian protesters who have been killed over and over again, met with live fire, as happened this summer. It's just not acceptable to shoot relatively indiscriminately into crowded areas when you aren't under immediate attack. I've never really heard any explanation about why shooting hundreds of people, including aid workers is necessary. Here's an article I found at Reuters that talks about some of these things. The situation looks like a border defense area, and there has probably been shelling and the shots toward the station. There's some kind of fence, and at this time there are many hundreds to a thousand protesters. They approach the fence. You can't just shoot them. You've got to figure out how to control you military and not just maim protesters.

Rather dubious. He says three things:

b) most people mate now
c) due to religious etc

The first is well backed up. The second, not so much, it depends on community (look up the number of childless people in, say, Milan). The third, WTF?

Mixing up facts with WTF like that attracts downvotes.
Uncomfortable answer: because the SJW movement is rabidly attacking anyone who dares to even state these facts. This is causing moderate people to stay quiet on the issue while the SJW movement expands and gains more ground, which in turn allows them to attack individuals for even less controversial claims.

Race and gender are nothing but social constructs. Anyone who disagrees is dismissed a misogynistic Nazi. I've experienced this with a close friend who is trans. I supported them all the way, until one day they told me I'm a hateful person because I don't want to stop using the gendered pronouns 'he' and 'she' when referring to everyday people in everyday settings.

This is a problem that can take care of itself if left alone. It's resolvable only with experience. If not, we'll enable worse problems - oppressive governments.

Rather than spend unnecessary resources on a technical solution or filter, lets inoculate them.

A great deal of art collecting by the wealthy are people who discovered a particular artist while young, and they felt a great impact from that art, but only later in life were they able to spend the large sums needed to own some of it for themselves. Parts of David Bowie’s collection are an example of this, artists whose work he fell in love with in the 1960s as a young man still far from wealth.

I must point out that in most cases child abuse happens inside families. A stranger kidnapping a child is a rather rare occurrence. Prevention, giving kids a chance to get help, ban of child-marriages etc will help, tough laws and hard punishment will not.

Because adults don't use social media platforms? And HN is not exactly Snapchat either...

>Sure it does. From journalist to software programmers and everyone in between.

Most businesses around the world could not care less for "journalists", "software programmers" and "everyone in between". We're not all working on Facebook, Apple, and co, or even on internet businesses.

There are billions of people working in places that at best have some static website, and people just walk in and buy stuff for example. Or B2B, or services, and so on. And for most of these neither their website matters much (if at all), not do they deal with media writing about them (or care).
I've sent my submission - my approach for this particular submission, and I'm not sure whether it's the best approach, was to indicate that I agree with the general arguments that this bill is bad for privacy, but also that if a scheme like this is going to be introduced anyway, that the oversight and transparency regime is not tough enough to allow the public to have confidence that the new powers are being used appropriately, or for researchers to be able to accurately measure the impact of the new regime on privacy and security.

I will also be writing to (and maybe phoning!) my MPs and Senators, and I anticipate this bill will go to a Senate committee for inquiry at which point there will be a further opportunity for submissions.

edit: and oh yeah, don't forget to contact your senators, not just your local MP. I only have 2, those of you who have 12 may have a few crossbench senators who will be crucial if, somehow, Labor can be persuaded to vote against, and in any case could have an outsized impact on proposing amendments to make the new powers less-bad.

Jupytext: Jupyter notebooks as Python scripts
From what I understood Whatsapp does regularly work with the police. The contents is encrypted. But you can easily monitor who communicates with whom. So if one person is unwilling, you can check if the other is willing.

I find it more worrisome that going after one person is more important than the privacy of a huge group.
That still doesn't answer my question, the legal precedence for all of these was set up decades if not centuries ago.
We agreed that a government should be able to tap a phone, in fact it's illegal to be a communication provider in the US and in the majority of the rest of the world essentially every country where there is a rule of law has the same laws without complying with the legal intercept requirements from the government.
Every piece of telecommunications equipment already has these backdoors built-in, in fact part of the FCC certification is to ensure compliance with LEI when applicable.

What Obama did with the NSA is also a doesn't have any bearing on this issue, if the NSA surveillance is warrantless it's another issue as far as sharing the contents of the in interception with other agencies well it's again a different issue.

But again this isn't about the NSA, this isn't even about the US the question is and always was what makes WhatsApp any different than a phone call?
Your mobile provider by law must provide LEI of data, voice and text, now no one uses voice anymore, most people don't even text not without using alternative apps like WhatsApp or iMessage.

So what is so special about these apps that the laws don't apply to them? and if we are using encryption as a way to back out of the rights we as a society already granted our government then by all means let's do it publicly because there is no reason why the government should be able to tap the phone of a 90 year old grandmother but not yours just because you know how to use WhatsApp.

>Like it may have been "helpful", but how much damage did that lack of privacy and the existence of backdoors caused, too?

Practically none, every telecommunication equipment in the US and the west in large has LEI backdoors built-in these aren't used for exploitation, just like the fact that most mobile phones can be easily tapped by anyone with a $100 worth of SDR equipment.

While these are technically a risk in practice they aren't really a risk because they still have a high barrier for entry, high risk, and essentially very low reward due to the lack of scalability.
Bear in mind that a few thousand years ago it was pretty unusual to get to be 50, 70 was considered a top bound (three score years and 10) and 80 was extreme old age.

I know that many people will say... but but there were old people and the stats are very skewed by infant mortality, but the fact is that mortality was high in every cohort when compared with now which made living into late middle age unusual.
> this reads less like an actual deep analysis and more like people complaining they need to actually put in work to get paid.

That is clearly not what they were saying. That is an incredibly callous way of dismissing someone else's problems.

From the article:

> Lees developed a thyroid problem, and began to experience more frequent and persistent stretches of depression.

There is a well-established link between thyroid issues and burnout. See this comment from Amy Hoy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5633063 The deeper takeaway is that burnout is not just someone saying "oh I don't like my job". It is a specific condition with measurable physical effects.

I almost burned out a few years ago. I quit the job I was working in, took a few months off, then looked for a less-demanding freelance job to recover. The thing is, in the "recovery" job, I actually worked about twice as many hours and was about 4x more productive. But it was majorly less stressful - I simply came in to the office in the morning, picked the latest tickets on Trello, worked on them, then went home.

In the previous job, I probably did about 20 hours actual work/week, and spent a lot of time twiddling my thumbs. But the organisation was in total chaos, with projects started and cancelled all over the place. I could go the extra mile on a piece of work and have it completely ignored, then get chewed out publicly for something I'd had no idea I was expected to do. I tried to be proactive and solve these problems, but it was an exercise in futility and frustration.

Burnout is not caused by "working hard", it's caused by a combination of things, usually some form of working hard and failing repeatedly, especially when the failure was caused by factors beyond your control (such as management politics, or in the case of YouTube stars, the all-powerful algorithm). This has been fairly well-researched and documented. Amy Hoy described it as "training your brain to associate hard work with failure", which is pretty succinct.

(For anyone who wants to learn more - burnout is pretty common amongst programmers and startup people - this is a good resource for overcoming some of the cognitive issues involved: https://www.thinkingdirections.com/blog/burnout/).

The Youtubers in the article described their problems clearly and eloquently, it enrages me to hear people callously dismiss them in this way.
I suppose those continue working fine in very local systems (contained in a ball of a few light-seconds radius) whose components move at speeds where relativistic effects can be discarded. Drop those constraints and you also need to drop even system-local globality because of relativity.

I feel this way, and it seems logical. We have kids late, from 30 onward, we had a free life before and we want it again, only we will be about 50-55 when the kids leave the house. Moreover, we want to do cool stuff when the kids get the age at which they become capable of doing cool stuff (hiking for days, mountain-biking through the alps, ...) And yet we are now 36 and we get back pains from sitting all day, the horror! We must do more sports to be able to experience freedom as we did back when we were 28, when circumstances allow us again: when the kids grow up!!

If only we had kids at 23 when we were most fertile. They'd be 16 now and we would have had a lifetime to live in wealth and freedom. (I'm exaggerating of course, kids are great but man, I would have been able to handle those sleepless nights better when I was 23 ;))
Along with other great comments I would like to mention that in today's world the easiest and "quick win" for a developer to gain some publicity and huge momentum in his career path is to embrace open source.

There are many pathways for it, but start as a contributor then moderator and if for some reason original development team loses the interest in the project you can become the maintainer of it as well. The more popular the project the more benefits you can get and it is also a trend nowadays in talent acquisition by some well-known startups and even few enterprises. The world is changing fast, the new doors are opening, follow that!
>The problem is that we as a society already agreed that it’s acceptable.

>We allowed the government to open mail, open locks and tap phones with a warrant all of which were technically challenging.

If we had a referendum on this ("should the police be able to access the communications of someone as part of the investigation of a crime?") I bet "yes" would win. Myself I also think it's acceptable. Don't think it's so clear-cut.
I agree the structure of some of my explanations could have been a bit better. The book I was using as a basis was from the mid-90s so it would be a version of GDB from 20 years ago that requires the NOP.

IMO, there are two key barriers to a decentralized internet (other factors are minor in comparison.)

(1) IPv4 (2) Bandwidth limits

IPv6 makes NAT unnecessary. With IP scarcity gone, IP addresses might become permanent like phone numbers.
