Obama was the first Nobel peace price recipient to bomb another Nobel prize recipient after getting the award, after an airstrike on an MSF hospital.

Kissinger is also responsible for bombing of another Nobel Peace prize winner, however he ordered the secret bombing in Laos and Cambodia that destroyed Red Cross facilities shortly before getting his, rather than shortly after.

The spyware literally built into Win 10 - and backported to previous windows - which can't be disabled without third party products?

To me, that's openly hostile to everyone. Note - "everyone" includes developers. I'm not sure why many people seem to give MS a free pass on this. :/

Apologies if what I say is naive -- I don't follow Google announcements at all -- but they don't seem to try and progress any field per se, except maybe deep learning and only where it serves them (like one of their first successes was to reduce their power usage on a ship full of servers I think?).

They are merging YouTube Gaming to YT itself (cited branding problems), discontinuing Inbox next March... Add that to a long list of canceled services. I am not saying they have to run a charity but they do seem very heavy-handed in these situations.

And so far we have not seen them innovate anywhere for a while -- correct me if I am wrong.

To me, it seems they entrench themselves even further in the business of using personal data for profit -- one example could be the upcoming laptop OS Fuchsia. Imagine how much more they will know about people if that takes off on a massive scale.

Bruce Sterling's book Schismatris, when the technologically advanced decedents of humanity returned to earth:

> "Do you see the cable system? The mausoleum has an information line, the only one in the village. Whoever lives there holds all links to the outside world."

> [...] "Stability," he said. "The Terrans wanted stability, that's why they set up the Interdict. They didn't want technology to break them into pieces, as it's done to us. They blamed technology for the disasters. The war plagues, the carbon dioxide that melted the ice caps... They can't forget their dead."

"Surely the whole world isn't like this," Vera said.
"It has to be. Anywhere there is variety there is
the risk of change. Change that can't be tolerated."
"But they have telephones. Aircraft."
"Enforcement technology," Lindsay said.

> [...] The parting had come with hatred: with those in space condemned as antihuman thieves, and Earth's emergency government denounced as fascist barbarism. Hatred made things easier: easier for those in space to shrug off all responsibility, easier for Earth to starve its myriad cultures down to a single gray regime of penance and pointless stability.

> But life moved in clades. Lindsay knew it as a fact. A successful species always burst into a joyous wave of daughter species, of hopeful monsters that rendered their ancestors obsolete. Denying change meant denying life.
So to recap and ensure I understood correctly... Cloudflare will now offer a Tor Service endpoint. All websites running over CF will automatically route traffic over this Tor endpoint if I use Tor Browser 8.

If that is the case, it's quite awesome indeed, I should investigate the alt-svc thingy and add a tor node on my services for that stuff... Very interesting.
Having a network-connected device that you own be always available may not be such a huge problem. Many home's use a router that is always connected: this router could also serve as IPFS content hoster!

I view IPFS as a better distribution network, not a better host - in contrast to current's internet structure, if many people request the same content from me, they might only need to contact my server once and then share it between them thus reducing overall load.

So the point of IPFS is not to store content for eternity, but to provide efficient distribution of content.

The non-guilty verdict is final, even in the face of new evidence: “[N]or shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb” (Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution). Sometimes the government gets around this by inventing a new “offence” for the same crime, often at a different political level; for example, you may be acquitted of murder at the state level, but be charged with a “hate crime” at the federal level for the same act.
> Stuff like lambdas weren’t born in some hipster language, they came from JavaScript.

They did not come from JS. JS took them from Scheme. Scheme took them from ... lambda calculus? Anyways, not knocking on JS, but they did not invent lambdas by any stretch of the imagination. I do agree with the rest of your comment btw.

Ughhh that's a very naive view of what a UI developer does now-a-days. We've tried visual code editors before... countless times, it never turns out well, for maintainability.
I think that corrupt judges is a separate issue to whether a judge employed by the state cam be impartial.

A few month ago, I used a similar optimisation that does the same idle-awaiting but with server-requests instead of cpu-usage.
So instead of submitting all ajax to the server directly, background tasks can be delayed until the important tasks have finished. This is useful especially when the 6 requests per origin limit gets hit often.

Prosecutors don't seek justice, they just want to lock up as many of what they perceive as bad guys, and a black man fits their stereotype. They clearly knew that this guy wasn't guilty of murder since somebody else confessed to the murder yet they let the innocent guy behind bars probably thinking "i got no hard feelings, that guy would have ended up killing someone one day". I sometimes wonder how these people sleep at night.

The FISA court should be abolished or needs very serious reforms. The original reasoning was for surveilling foreign spies but it is now being used to monitor journalists (presumably American as well!) and American's involved in political campaigns. If the FBI had disclosed it would be using the FISA court in this manner when the laws were proposed the laws would not have received support.
Then you don't eat the main item, and you go hungry. That's about how it goes. I got vegetarian omelet all the time, it's notoriously gross and runny. You typically don't get to swap if you're less than an E-5. So you just eat the other stuff in the meal or go hungry.

Honestly Basic training with a food allergy, sounds like hell. You're pretty much starving for a month, and you don't get the luxury of choice while eating.

I was a smaller guy when I went through in 2009, and I was required to eat every last thing. I can now eat 3 full meals in less than 2 minutes. But I feel bad for someone who's got an gluten intolerance, because a DS isn't going to take that as an excuse.
As an example, during the surge volunteers could get enlistment waivers for almost anything except Celiac disease or peanut allergy.

Imo, the hype is irrelevant. Many people misunderstand IPFS, and the wording that you highlighted doesn't help. Luckily, I view IPFS as a very valuable "technology", and whether or not it specifically wins in this space, I don't care - I care that the technology is useful and I think it (or something like it) will eventually be the future of the web.

So I don't really buy into the hype-drama. So many people are concerned with hype.

Anyway, to your specific points - if you understand IPFS those comments are not entirely off board. However I can understand why they would lead people astray. In reality I see those comments, ie human history being deleted, as a reference to the mutable web. I can find a post on Reddit and today it is meaningful, tomorrow it might be deleted. In a general immutable system, if I reference an immutable address to the content I care about I will always find exactly that content. Whether or not it exists permanently is another issue, one that I don't care about honestly - I care that what exists can't change out from under you. Just by viewing data in an IPFS-like system naturally makes you own it, as you effectively download a copy of it. No one can take that from you.

Now, whether or not you decide to permanently hold onto the data you want is another story. But again, permanency is not likely to be "solved" by anyone.. and honestly, given how so much "content" can be illegal, I don't think we ever can or should solve the permanency issue.
A lot of left wing Americans seemingly threw out their ability to question once the DNC started making claims that Russia was responsible for Trump. They trust these people hands down, without realizing that Mueller was instrumental in lying about the Iraq WMD's [1]. While I'm glad massive fraud charges are being brought up on Trump's friends & cabinet, I'm hesitant to not seriously question anything about foreign influence from the same people who lied us into the Iraq war.

Death by a thousand paper cuts. Bad management making bad decisions, funding getting harder and harder to get, pressure to do contract research (I was at a large public research institute, not at a uni)... Things were going downhill quickly and seemingly irreversibly, so I was no longer happy there, and there were no good alternatives in research where I live.
What do you mean by "choosing to participate in a somewhat dangerous activity"? Are you talking about driving, or are you talking about using roads in general? 40% of the traffic deaths in my city last year were pedestrians. This is a risk people are exposed to just by choosing to leave their homes on foot, which I find completely unacceptable.
As far as I can tell from the relevant (I believe) 18USC §1621 [0], the failure to volunteer information is not perjury; it requires actively providing information you do not believe to be true.

That would, in my non-lawyer eyes, make it incredibly hard to convict anyone of perjury as it seems you'd need to prove what was going on in the mind of the accused at the time, and good luck with that.

How long have you waited for this?
Furthermore a jury of your peers is at least as good as the society around it.

....

Furthermore any bias in a juror gets averaged over 12 and affects at most one trial.

That’s all good in theory until you have the prosecutors put a “B” by jurors who are Black that they want to exclude.

The prosecutors select for bias.

https://www.cnn.com/2016/05/23/opinions/supreme-court-black-...

Furthermore prosecution and defense get to cross examine and dismiss jurors as part of the selection process. If you want a generally well educated jury you can get one. Ask your trial lawyer which jury is right for you!

And if the prosecutor gets to dismiss jurors that are least likely to convict?

Furthermore it only takes one of the 12 to stop a miscarriage of justice.

Furthermore in the US everyone is at least somewhat indoctrinated with an understanding of what a jury is and a respect for executing jury duty faithfully. You have a pretty good shot of getting at least one person on the jury that won't vote guilty instantly so they can still make the baseball game latter that daY

You’re completely ignoring the social pressure of being the one holdout that you would get from the other 11 jurors to go home and the judge to not have a hung juror.

You’re also ignoring the very real psychology of how many people don’t care about the fate of someone who they can’t relate to - someone who is not of thier same race/economic background/upbringing.

They are informed of the definitions of the crime, and the evidence, and must reach a verdict of yes he did this or no he did not. Upon rendering a guilty verdict, the actual law part of the law is executed by the judge.

That’s all well and good unless the “facts” are being withheld by the prosecutor and not being argued effectively by an underpaid, overworked public defender.
> I'm starting to think that the Nobel Peace Prize should only be awarded posthumously

That's never going to happen. Nobel Peace Prize is a political tool and has always been so. It has nothing to do with peace but advancing post-colonial european interests. Go read the history of the nobel prize and who has won. The prize was created by alfred nobel, noted for inventing dynamite and being a major war munitions manufacturer.

Why was Suu Kyi given the nobel prize? Because she loved democracy and human rights? Of course not. Lots of people love democracy and human rights and they haven't won the award. She was given the award because the british thought that they could use her to take over mynammar again and they felt that they could control her. Turns out that they couldn't since she's a nationalist, like her father. Think about it. She was given the nobel peace prize in 1991 while there was no democracy or human rights in myanmar ( it was a military dictatorship ). So her award was "forward looking". What were the british looking forward to? Gaining influence in their former colony.

Why was obama awarded the nobel peace prize before he even took office? Because europeans wanted to influence obama going forward. Funnily enough, the nobel peace prize probably influenced obama into helping france and britain by militarily attacking libya. After all, he owed the europeans.

Awards are more about influencing the future rather than celebrating the past. This is especially the case with the nobel peace prize. It's part of what we call soft power.

Guess what? The chinese are playing the same game now. That's right. They have their own "peace" prize.

I'm one of the maintainers for the ZynAddSubFX open source musical synthesizer. It's a mixed codebase with a C++ core, some low level C routines, and a mostly Ruby based interface. I'm trying to broaden the contributor base at the moment.

There's plenty of roles which could use an extra hand ranging from community management, testing, documentation, development, and advanced DSP improvements. Each role would use a different set of skills, but it's an open source collaboration, so don't be afraid to try something you're unfamiliar with and want to learn about (it was a great learning experience back when I was a student).

If any of this sounds interesting then please see http://zynaddsubfx.sf.net/contribute.html for more information regarding specific roles.

For anyone casually looking through this thread, any feedback on the general contributing page? I'm trying to find the right balance between presenting something that can be skimmed, but still has the deeper information to inform someone interested in each role and I'm unsure if it's settled with the right tradeoff.

Somewhat tangential. I have a few games that really push the edge of my laptop's capabilities. These games often have Windows and Linux support (without Steam Play). I find myself installing and testing them all on both OSes to see which works best.

Is it generally universally true that Windows will always be the faster option? If not, is there a market for capturing "which os is best?" somewhere?
I switched to tech one year ago after more than * years in academia (biology). I am still publishing, mostly papers that were half-completed or going through the peer-review process. I enjoy writing in general and I also enjoy writing research papers, but the peer-review process is largely dreadful and it is difficult to justify spending considerable time doing something that I have already done for years, I moved away from, and that won't further my career.

I published more than 50 papers, some in top journals, and most of them as the first author; I still find frustrating that companies (recruiters, hiring managers, peers) don't associate that kind of production and its determinants (scientific skills, coding, writing, persistence) to proxies of potential added value to the company.

Most of the big change in politics in the last decade has come from apps that make it easier to do good old-fashioned grassroots organizing. It's why the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) is making waves now. They usually just use Twitter for the social network part.

The rest of the article talks about other attempts at apps for political organizing, and the politics of political apps. Not a bad read if you're into the subject, but I expected a look at the technical failure it opens with given the title.

Thanks to CloudFlare for working with Tor on these issues. The browsing experience for us legit Tor users is much better than it used to be.

I hope that eventually, .onion services can get DV certs so their proxy can serve that cert if the user connects directly, bypassing the need to connect through an exit node for the first connection.

One thing I'm curious about:

> While bad actors can still establish a fresh circuit by repeating the rendezvous protocol, doing so involves a cryptographic key exchange that costs time and computation.

Is there some way for the destination .onion service to scale the difficulty of this rendezvous challenge, so this proof-of-work scheme can continue to work? It would be sad if they get to the point where it's no longer an effective rate limit and have to go back to serving CAPTCHAs for every new circuit.
