It makes it simpler for police and three letter agencies to gain access to your dna without needing to go through proper channels. It is how that famous serial killer/rapist got caught on a 30 year old cold case.

I know the response is "Well I ani't killing/raping so it doesn't matter."

A lot of people have been sent to jail on false positives on dna results. It takes to much time to actually compare a large chunk of dna so they select certain parts to compare it to and if you fall into the unlucky percentage then you are screwed.
This already exists and is being deployed as a consumer-grade feature.

Warning: anecdotes ahead.

I would like to add some counterpoint to the otherwise seemingly endless supply of HN enthusiasm for psychedelics.

Personally, I like psychedelics. I have an annual(ish) tradition of tripping somewhere really pretty. I think that the personal growth and emotional... trip is fun and worthwhile.

However, my girlfriend had a bad trip and was scared of large trees for months. And I'd rate my girlfriend as one of the most mentally stable people I have ever met. I am unconvinced that throwing psychedelics at mentally unstable (unhealthy) people is a good idea. We need a lot more research before we start recommending them as medicine.

To that end, I do believe that we should allow researchers greater flexibility to experiment with them because it would be worthwhile to understand more about why psychedelics do what they do.
because the world faces problems with package managers, app runtimes, social calendars?

Real world problems are humanitarian crises, economic development, and political reform. How can you say "world’s biggest problems", yet exclude all the actual important problems?

I know it well enough that changing to a custom mime-type like "text/x-myapp-foo" is a solution that gets around CORS and pre-flight as well in the latest version of Chrome.
This seems to be a colossal fuck up by UK but maybe it’s too early to tell. I did hear some say

As best I can see that assigns a Content-Type ("MIME type"), distinct from a Content-Encoding supported by browsers.

So it specifies what Content-Type header your browser should use for a .zst file, but doesn't represent a plan to let your HTML, JS, CSS etc. be delivered compressed using Zstd and transparently decompressed by the browser, as is possible with the gzip and br Content-Encodings.

Once a metric becomes a target, it ceases to be a good metric. I think that people would find ways of targeting their learning towards these brain scans, without actually getting useful experience and learning, so their usefulness would go down. Similar to standardized tests I guess, that are probably a great measure of ability until teachers start targeting them.
Oslo has six electric buses in use right now, and will add 70 more by next summer so electric is absolutely an option, but this is a pretty recent development. Much like Denmark none of the major parties here want to actually enforce the 2025 "ban" on fossil fuel cars either, so we can't really expect anything to happen to buses either (at the national level). On the local level the public transit in the Oslo metro area is planning to be fossil fuel free in 2020 and zero emission in 2028.

The Japanese have a track record of not being able to develop complex software on a short timescale. Their culture and bureaucratic institutions are an impediment to new disruptive technologies. That is a big factor in why the Koreans and Chinese are eating their lunch in consumer electronics.
Sadly you're probably right. It woudln't surprise me if it's even further reduced to "So-and-so is anti-women".
Institutional inertia is one hell of a drug. Even putting aside the sinister motivations people are often very reluctant to change even in the face of major evidence - especially if it undermines their self worth to admit being wrong.

You can build them with 74xx, 74LSxx as well as 74HCTxx, or mix those. Mixing with 74HC is also possible if you're careful, but full 74HC won't work.
"Actually our engineering team is looking more for CLR experience right now."
Impossible to judge the effect until someone investigates the relative sizes of the lost bonuses and the increased hourly wage.

I did read Amazon's claim in the article that the increase outweighs the decrease. But I would like to see a journalist confirm that and also report on how big the difference is and whether it affects certain types of workers differently than others.
I don't doubt that this would eventually be the case, people always learn to game the system eventually.

Sure: the regulation in question removes the cities' ability to oversee the installation of the hardware. Currently, microcell installation in many places requires a city engineer to sign off on the mechanical part -- can the pole support this load, is the mount going to stand up to stormwinds, and so forth. The FCC edict turns it into a free-for-all: this is irresponsible.

I think the argument most commonly put forth is not "feeders of the people" but "national security." Proponents of the subsidies say that the ability of a nation to feed itself is a matter of national security. Although in the era of factory farms and big agra it seems like the "national security" is maybe less of a concern that during say the Eisenhower era.
Is google existing in China with censorship an "evil" thing? Any alternative in China will need the same censorship, so why is Google evil? I think we can all agree that people (and companies) being censored are not evil just because they must censor themselves - rather, the heads of the country that require censorship are the evil ones.

If you're a police officer and you have to arrest people for some stupid law you disagree with, are you evil, or are the people requiring you to perform that arrest evil?

I'm sympathetic to the author's argument, UNIX administration is a full time job on top of whatever system you're using to do deployments. You leverage your ops team at work; is ops-as-a-service really all that different?

If one of my devs wants to deploy a rails app I don't expect them to suddenly be a sysadmin or network engineer or infosec expert. I expect their application to be well written but the rest of the stack is up to ops.

Well, the New York times itself made the point about private museums.

About the valuation, as I mentioned elsewhere, my mother used to work on collectibles auctions, and it is a VERY opaque world, with several ways to inflate price - using frontmen to buy other pieces by the same artist would be one way.

I'm not a 0.1% and I'm not even from the U.S. :) , I just wanted to point out that in my experience such loopholes are exploited. In my country we get examples of charities being subverted very often. I do hope most charities are indeed that, charities.

Hey, next time you comment please take a look over HN's comment guidelines[0]. The parent comment brings up a good point about subsidies, however it would be great to also learn if there is a flaw in their reasoning (as you so strongly believe). Comment's like yours just discourage conversation.

Let me save you the trouble:

Your genes indicate you’re likely predisposed to some diseases X, Y, and Z. There is no vaccine from any of these, but you can reduce likelihood of those diseases if you exercise regularly, but not too vigorously, mind your diet, reduce stress, drink rarely, and have satisfying social life. Also remember your annual medical exam, and consult a medical professional when things feel wrong.

This is true for nearly any person as I understand.

With due respect, ideology is ultimately the only reason that anything gets done. RMS would never have created GNU, with all of its fabulously useful result, had he merely thought that existing tools were of insufficient quality.

The whole point of academia is that people who oppose you are going to take their best shot at ripping your work to shreds. If your work can withstand their worst, we'll all know that it's (probably) really good stuff.

Alternatively, if your work blows over in a light wind, better that everyone should know as soon as possible.
That was the "//Do stuff" part, you may want to do some cleanup (in C# usually handled by a finally block or a "using" block), send a custom notification, logging (usually I would just let the client handle logging), etc.

Content-Type should only be allowed to be `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`, `multipart/form-data`, or `text/plain` to be allowed without preflight.

Edit: I can't reproduce this on Chrome 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit). Setting the Content-Type to anything other than the above with a POST request will cause an OPTIONS preflight, even when using your example.

Oh, so Infura let's you pin stuff for free? How does that work?
In any mature code, there is going to be unintuitive code that only exists to work around an external issue beyond your control.

Recent example: when you authenticate to OpenSSH running on macOS 10.13 or 10.14, make sure to never attempt keyboard-interactive auth after password auth, or the server will stop responding.

Somewhere you need to write this fact down, so that the next person who comes across your auth code doesn't change the order of authentication methods.

You need to document things like that.

If you have a mature code base, you'll have dozens, or hundreds of these workarounds for all kinds of issues. If you look at the code, it'll seem inefficient. If you don't document why the code looks like it does, then someone will come along (possibly you) a few years in the future and "optimise" that line.

Sure, you could have a unit test that checks whether the workaround is in place. But then you STILL need to document why that unit test is there, or someone will come and consider it pointless and remove it.

I've seen no comment here ever praising Google's actions in China here, and I'm very doubtful I will.

That said, this particular product, which has nothing to do Google's business with China, is absolutely crucial for people facing censorship elsewhere, and it is without a doubt a morally good product. You can't even claim that they're doing it solely to gather DNS data (for whatever reason), because if they were making an attempt at that, they would sure as fuck wouldn't allow you to choose Cloudflare.

You can sit here and call that hypocritical because of Google's relationship in China, but that doesn't make their solution any less good to those facing censorship. Nobody else stepped up. Jigsaw did, and they deserve to be thanked for that.

Even if someone's intentions are evil in nature, you're not going to make them less evil by saying "who cares, you're evil" whenever they do something good.

Be careful when reading about the age "40" and "80" in some ancient cultures. "40" used to be a term for "many", as we might say "millions" when we really mean "a great many". Mohammed was 40 when he received god's message. Ali Baba had his 40 thieves. Moses wandered in the desert for 40 years. The Noah suffered 40 days and nights of rain. There is a famous story in Islam of a woman being stung by a scorpion 40 times while at prayer. So a tale of a woman being 80 years old, a suspicious doubling of 40, should probably be read to say that she was very very old rather than literally eighty.
>Why don’t you develop a face and eye tracking system to detect if the test driver is dozing off or otherwise not paying enough attention and act accordingly?

At least in Waymo's case, because their explicit goal is to go directly to level 5. Unlike some companies who think intermediate steps are desirable, for Waymo test drivers are specifically that, for testing. The accident (which was just on HN) if anything supports the hypothesis that there should either be Level 1, maybe a little 2, or 5, and that's it.

So spending time and effort on developing more complex technology like that purely for the special limited time case of R&D is probably not worth it vs just plain having better and more professional driver practices. Waymo can and should be blamed for having shifts of more then say 4 hours, insufficiently rigorous selection/training, not having a 2 person requirement, online real time observation by a control center, etc. But it's still a one-off situation. Where technology comes into play is scaling and general usage by non-professionals, but for the specific, low volume case of testing it is absolutely possible to have low-tech or no-tech handled well.

For companies who claim level 3/4 are valuable stepping stones rather then a valley, yes driver attention is integral to their proposal in general deployment and thus requiring that also be part of their technology makes sense. But it's not just over engineered for a level 5 shift, it's to some extent making excuses for what is a direct and simple management failure. If managers overwork and badly train a fork lift operator or any other equipment operator and an accident results, we don't say the fork lift needs eyeball trackers, we say management failed at following best practices and is at fault.

I use the Alt key to access menu items all the time in Windows. As far as I know, this isn't possible in most Mac applications. To get to a menu item, you have to use the mouse. Sure, some menu items also have Command shortcuts, but not all of them.

I do like the general theme of Ctrl being used for system-wide shortcuts, while Cmd is (mostly) reserved for applications. I just wish menu items had a letter underlined...
