If you believe in contracts that selectively release source code for a fee subject to nondisclosure and other limitations on redistribution, you effectively believe in copyright. At most, you're saying that the default should be an unlimited right to redistribution. But that's not especially meaningful, because opting away from that default would be trivial, and practically every professional musician would do so immediately.

It's a bunch of Norwegian academics. Of course they have their Western and liberal biases and blind spots, but the theory a prize for the incarcerated Burmese election victor was motivated less by the symbolic importance of her continuing to express a belief about democracy and nonviolence and more a ruse to flatter her in the hope she would reinstate British colonialism in Myanmar which would somehow achieve a Norwegian foreign policy goal is just bizarre. Not sure what influence the committee hoped to obtain over the likes of Mother Theresa, Malala or the International Campaign To Abolish Nuclear Weapons either

My reading is that of a response to that "idealistic worldview" (not actually idealistic, but rather cynical enough to pretend so). People say stupid shit like "elections mean that the government is controlled by the people" all the time, even here on HN where many people are fairly intelligent and also mostly honest. Clear evidence to the contrary doesn't always make it through the media filter, so I don't see the harm in highlighting that evidence.
I certainly didn't realize this stuff really happened, until my friend saw it firsthand. It's unbelievable. Now I get why black people are so furious. I can't believe that it was a cop who did that.

Access to journals is a good point. I’ve had some access through jobs, and some access through alumni accounts. You might check with your alma mater whether you have alumni access to their databases.

NYCLU and Columbia University have a 2016 video (starts at 2:50) about the corporate origins and privacy policy of Google's LinkNYC surveillance kiosks in Manhattan:
https://livestream.com/internetsociety/hopeconf/videos/13081...

Village Voice covered the topic, https://www.villagevoice.com/2016/07/06/google-is-transformi...

> This freedom to opt out entirely is also the last argument that spokespeople for LinkNYC and the city itself fall back upon when challenged with privacy concerns: If you don’t like it, you’re welcome not to use it. It’s a disheartening place to land, especially when discussing infrastructure that’s supposed to be serving people who aren’t served otherwise. To Moglen, it’s simply an unacceptable conclusion. “That’s what they want us to believe, that we have a choice between isolation and monitored connecting,” he says. “Those are not adequate choices in a 21st-century world: We are designing the net to track you — if you don’t like it, don’t use it. The human race is shifting to a fully surveilled and monitored superorganism — if you don’t like that, stop being human. That’s a poor outcome. The United States is a society that was based around the idea that human beings can have liberty. So give us liberty! And don’t tell us that otherwise we can have the death of the net."
You generally do one (or both) of two things with hardware security devices:

* You buy multiple devices and configure your systems to honor both, as a backup plan.

* You back up your keys or their artifacts to paper or a small drive and keep that somewhere safe.

If you do neither of those things, and you lose the hardware key, you are either (a) boned or (b) using an insecure system where the key is just theater.

I assign a low probability that Sharyl was spied on based on the evidence she brought forward which seemed to indicate that she was confused about things. For her I think this is one of those things that she wouldn't question too strongly because it has ending up benefiting her a lot. I guess I have slightly increased my probability estimate that she was spied on after these latest revelations because presumably there are not that many 'interesting' journalists for the government to spy on and presumably they spied on multiple 'interesting' journalists.

However, I think it would be funny if it turned out she was a target of a FISA warrant. I can imagine the scrambling in the media to explain how it was completely legitimate for the government to use a FISA warrant to spy on her.

Sadly such a revelation wouldn't change anything. The mainstream press would defend the use of a FISA warrant, Senate and Congressional Democrats would generally approve and Republicans might make a fuss but end up doing nothing because law_and_order. Republican's on the intelligence services committee were aware of what they considered FISA abuse against their political allies and did nothing about the FISA renewal.

The difference is that rather than a telco in the case of cellular devices, the system is owned and operated by the municipal government directly.

In the context of NYC in particular, it's more immediately concerning than usual because NYPD actually has a significant, funded intelligence division with the resources to use the data.

> That is, Ticketmaster can extract MORE money out its customers because they hate Ticketmaster.

This is what's happening. People want to see the artist they like, so they see Ticketmaster as a necessary evil. If those feeling were transferred to the artist, the artist may alienate fans, which not only affects that specific concert, but future reputation and events as well. This should not be looked at one event at a time in isolation, reputation persists, and pays of in a myriad of ways (album sales, word-of-mouth, etc), so it makes sense to look at it over time, If an artist is able to cultivate a reputation for caring about fans, it helps to have a partner able to take any blowback for actions fans do not like.

More established artists often just charge a lot for tickets. They can get away with it. Having to pay $100+ for the cheapest Rolling Stones tickets isn't going to phase most Rolling Stones fans at this point (and a lot are at a stage in life where they can support it, and much more expensive tickets). The same might not be true of a newer artist, which is still trying to grow their fan base.

> people pay more on satisfaction, not on dissatisfaction.

Generally, yes, but it's also skewed by how often the item in question is purchases, have they purchased it before, etc. No matter how much I enjoy a new car, I still hem and haw at the price when I an seriously considering buying one. Expensive luxury purchases are like that (at this point I do pay for satisfaction in cars - to a degree - but it wasn't always that way, by necessity and by my current state of knowledge).

> lets say artists now sell their tickets on platform independent and simultaneous to Ticketmaster, at the same total price. Would people buy on Ticketmaster because they prefer to hate it than to hate the artist?

Is the artist advertising a similar face value and adding fees on to create a higher purchase price, like Ticketmaster? If not, then I expect the vast majority would probably end up at Ticketmaster because of a lower advertised price, even if it's the same at checkout.

In the end though, some fans may be upset at the pricing and treatment, and that may prevent a future album or concert ticket purchase. Fans are fickle, and there's a relationship between artists and fans, and that's essentially why it's not a rational market. There's emotion in there.
okay, this caught my eye:

"Thirteen of Wansink’s studies have now been retracted, including the six pulled from JAMA today. Among them: studies suggesting people who grocery shop hungry buy more calories; that preordering lunch can help you choose healthier food; and that serving people out of large bowls encourage them to serve themselves larger portions."

Are we sure those studies have been disproven? I am skeptical because I am pretty sure that I buy more calories when I am hungry.

Note, I may not eat more calories, and I may shop less frequently because then I have more to go on. But actually shopping for more during that trip, I am pretty sure.

I am more curious about who tried to replicate the studies and how.
You know what: it looks like I'm wrong; the product comparison page for Nitrokey says the pro doesn't do U2F; only their FIDO U2F key (which uses a less capable processor that doesn't do OpenPGP) does.

I've actually thought about doing this as a service, somewhat like triplebyte, but you bring me the candidates you want. The idea was more for just doing the phone screens and finding the people you'd want to interview onsite (where you want to get that hands on / personal interviewing experience).

(Note, I wouldn't know how to interview a graphic designer anyway, but the idea was that if you didn't know DevOps, backend, data analysis, etc. and hiring the first person that will hire those other people, it could be useful to contract with someone with those skills).

I agree with the idea that startups should generate clear hypothesis and do well-documented experiments.

Serotonin as a biological utility has been around since the beginning of multi-cellular life, maybe even sooner!

The Nitrokey Pro this is based on doesn't do U2F, according to Nitrokey's literature and reviews of the product. Does this custom firmware somehow add a U2F capability?

If it doesn't, I don't understand the product. It's more expensive than a Yubikey 4, and bigger, and the Y4 does U2F along with the smard card RSA stuff.

We use Y4s in our practice, and my experience is that for every time I use the smart card RSA stuff (for instance, to SSH into something with a long-term RSA key), I use the U2F feature 10 times.
The reality is that it sounds like you don't have the skills for the work you want and are chosing to turn your nose up at the work you can get. This obviously isn't sustainable.

You need to get a job. Any job. Preferably the best job you currently qualify for, even if it's not what you want to do for the rest of your life. Once you aren't worrying about how you're going to feed yourself, get some fire in your belly and take the time to learn the skills you need for the job you want. If it's technical, then build something, try to find a few small side hustles. Then start looking for the jobs with your new skills. Since you'll still be working the job you don't love, you can afford to take your time and find somebody who will gamble on you.

You absolutely should not join a coding bootcamp right now. Priority one is to feed yourself. Learn when you're not working. To quote the infamous patio11: Don't end the week with nothing.
OK. Let's take the names from this article and assume these people are controlled by the DNC rather than just friendly to the Clinton campaign. Let us further assume that their employers are also controlled by the DNC.

You can strike ABC, NBC, CBS, NYT, and NPR off of my list. CNN and Fox also have employees named in the article.

So... That's still not half. And the assumptions made at the beginning are beyond spurious.

Now, I don't comment much here, and I don't know how moderators look on having loosely related conversations in the comments, so I'm probably not going to continue this discussion... But I stand by my point.

> but I don't think this case is a cut & dry illustration of the wrongs that the Innocence Project can help to right.

And I don't think the 'Innocence Project' or any exoneration efforts should be based on how empathetic people are to the convict.

Let's continue highlighting the wide discretion the prosecutors are able to use even when technically prohibited, and the lack of incentives for the state to undermine its monopoly on authority and investigate itself.

Let's make these 'tiny administrative offenses' so intolerable and egregious that there is selective evolution towards better investigations and better evidence collection. Real consequences for operating outside of those bounds. Easier remedies for the people accused and convicted. THE ACTUAL MURDERER BEING OFF THE STREET if anyone's pooled resources are going to be used by this public entity at all, what a concept.

Those are my perspectives.
Perhaps I accept that there are more than 2-5 dimensions in the sphere of politics, and that occasionally one must compromise because no singular philosophy is perfect in all circumstances. That doesn't mean that an entire political ideology is at fault.

>it's not clear to me that Dixon was really a victim in all this

And that's where I think the perspective is messed up. Sentencing guidelines are codified in law. This man received and served a non-trivial portion of a sentence that he did not deserve. In my opinion, there is no ambiguity here: he is a victim of a failure of the legal system. As a victim his damages amount to at least 12 years of his life.

Note that this makes him less of a criminal for the crimes he did commit.

Not really relevant to our conversation, but where did you get this "body guard" quote?
No, I'm not trying to engage in "whataboutism".

However, I think you might be conflating two issues. A country can have a very high incarceration rate without imprisoning a single innocent: that country could have a very high crime rate, or the bar for "crime" could be lower and more aggressively pursued. I think the vast majority of the US' "over-incarceration" can be attributed to those two factors, not to the US just throwing randoms in prison.

Do we also sometimes imprison innocent people? Absolutely. But so does every country. As far as I am aware, there is nothing unique to the US justice system that would cause a higher incidence of actually innocent people going to jail. But we do send more people to jail. But the vast majority of them are guilty of their crimes, the question is really "should smoking pot be an imprisonable offense?", or similar.
Do you have any recommendations of where to start?
