I reposted this today because somebody was looking for an old HN thread "Ask HN: Looking for an old HN post about how to effectively lodge a complaint" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18799453
Like philosophers, scientists chased Truth, but their theories were understood to be provisional—tools for resolving problems as they appeared, models valuable only to the extent that they explained and predicted what showed in experiments. A Newtonian model of motion had worked beautifully for a long time, but then people noticed bits of unaccountable data, and relativity emerged as a stronger theory. Couldn’t disciplines like philosophy work that way, too?

It's ironic that the this line is in the article, considering that the notion of "equality = an unquestionably beneficial thing" was quite rigorously attacked nearly 200 years ago by Nietzsche and company. Somehow contemporary philosophers seem to have jumped straight from the late 18th century straight to today, ignoring the entire corpus of criticism that's been written since.

This while simultaneously ignoring the fact that foundational thinkers of Western thought like Plato were extremely critical of democratic values.
Touring – Making the Most of It Between Venues. The Blogging Musician
Exactly right, thank you.
From my experience visiting, Germany does a much better job of getting services into smaller communities. From Mainz, where my family lives, we took streetcar and then bus out into surrounding villages and towns which would be totally un-serviced by transit if they were in North America -- even in areas where the population density is equivalent or higher (such as where I live in southern Ontario).

Tech infrastructure is only one part of it. North America's rural economy is broken due to land use and industry problems. Once you get out of exurbia or areas that are appealing as retirement or vacation homes, the land is mostly just swathes of cash crop mega farms and towns mostly disappearing due to lack of jobs.

Europe's mostly small towns predate the industrial revolution and the green revolution. They have cultural and economic roots that seem to have persisted better through the 20th century's transformations.

I already mentioned that acceleration measurements can be integrated to get velocity. I asked a question about the reliability of the velocity information available to an IMU, and your reply did not address that.
Out of curiosity:

I studied engineering in Germany. There's no such thing as a PEng in Germany -- the only thing is that the title of Dipl.-Ing. (equivalent to MEng), which was the culmination of my studies, is protected.

How does it make you feel for me to claim I'm an engineer?

(BTW, I get seriously uptight at all the web designers who like to call themselves engineers :-) )
>Ro Khanna is my hometown progressive. So..obviously..I distrust the politician representing us.

As someone not from the Bay Area, will you please explain why this is obvious?

Perhaps because he has only been in Congress since 2016 and in that time, the Democrats have been in the minority and mostly powerless to do much of anything
"A gentleman of means" is a somewhat antique term in British English. I don't think there's an equivalent expression for ladies- "A lady of means" sounds a bit strange.
It's like rape
Now that communication is quick, and data more available, more people have an idea of how to give themselves the best opportunity. The best school district you can send your kids to, the best colleges they can go to, the majors they can study, etc.

Problem is it's all concentrated to a handful of options, so everyone is chasing after those, and the sellers know it so they can price it such that almost all the value is extracted from the buyer.

It's funny to think that it could partly be a consequence of all the easily available school rankings, all the way form elementary to university, as people can sort themselves by socioeconomic class much easier. But it could go the other way too, with the concentration being a consequence widening gaps in socioeconomic class. Either way, it feels like a feedback loop to me.
I didn't watch the 35c3 presentation, but it certainly looks like it's an absurd attack. Kudos to Ledger people for constructively replying to it.

Some talks in 35c3, defcon, etc remind me of the rubber hose security (https://xkcd.com/538/).

On the other hand, www.ledger.fr web site does not properly redirect to HTTPS (e.g http://www.ledger.fr/bounty-program/) and that would've been a more practical one.

What rekindled my love of CYOA was the Fabled Lands series of books (unfortunately unfinished currently). Rather than linear progression, it used a hub and spoke style to make essentially an open world RPG. Each book extended the world and you could travel from one book to the other. Plenty of tasks to complete. This page shows the difference in layout vs a typical CYOA: http://www.squidi.net/three/entry.php?id=204 And here's the main page: http://fabledlands.blogspot.com/p/fabled-lands-gamebooks.htm... which also has links to extras to play (even an app). I recommend anyone interested in CYOA check them out.
I have tried using Signal, but found it to be a “works whenever it feels like” app and platform. It’s very poor compared to Telegram on features and stability.

Recently I switched to a new phone and Signal wouldn’t send me the activation code over SMS or voice call. Tried for a few days and gave up on using it. Support couldn’t help either. So whatever the $50 million is doing, it hasn’t changed the usability of it much (which has been behind Telegram’s for a long time).

And what’s with not allowing chats to be backed up and restored in a new device (iOS)? That’s very limiting.
> But what if all you knew was farming? Do you think you'd see a huge pay bump by moving your farm to the Bay Area (or any other major metropolis)?

This has been so common throughout history that there is even a name for it (rural flight): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_flight

As agriculture is increasingly mechanized, fewer farmers are needed. So it doesn’t really matter if all you know is farming, moving to the city is your best bet if you aren’t inheriting the family farm. That’s just how economics works.

Debunking the 6 Biggest Myths About ‘Technology Addiction'
One point of view is it's a mafiosi tactic. Create the problem. Sell the security solution. Or, at best, it is irresponsible to enable attackers.

Another is that by disclosing security problems and the tools to test and research them, we enable defenders and we fix what might be kept confidential and exploited by attackers. The theory that sunlight is the best disinfectant.
True, but that applies to rural areas as well: how many farmers are renting their land these days, or are working for big farm corps that bought all the family farms in the area a long time ago?
Exotic locations stop being so after you live in them for a few years. Time zone issues can end up as a real pain, which makes the US rather appealing.

Weather wise most of Florida is really cheap and Hawaii can be surprisingly affordable a few miles from the beach. So, I suspect the digital nomads living in Asia stereotype is more about them being interesting than that many people actually doing so.
> No, your PhD doesn't give you authority on picking the building blocks for the front-end and devops stacks. Now chill and bugger off, go back to the C++ image processing ML models (1 year of development and no release still).

There is a pretty big gap between a computer science PhD and software engineering in general. I'd rather have someone that did 4 years of software engineering pick the tech stack than someone that did 4 years doing a computer science PhD.

The first and only problem with Signal, for me, is that it’s unusable. See my other comment above. There’s no point touting security benefits if the app and platform are not meant for the masses and cannot be relied upon. FWIW, I’ve tried Signal many times in the last few years, but one thing or the other forces me to abandon it.

I have tried Wire and like it. But it too misses in the chat sync across devices sometimes (even within a day or two of the message being sent).
This is deeply upsetting to me because I have continually pushed Firefox to friends and family as the only alternative to Google's strongarm dominance of our virtual lives.

I have no other alternative to recommend my social circle and feel, daily, increasingly helpless to do anything about a future determined to shake down the miracle of humanity for pocket change.

Mozilla Corp--the for-profit business arm of nonprofit Mozilla Foundation--has sold out its users before in a partnership with German ad company Cliqz and again in a marketing blitz for Mr. Robot. No amount of outrage from its users has changed their behavior. Perhaps because we are locked into a browser duopoly, Mozilla Corp feels privileged to continue to abuse user trust.

How do we take back user privacy when the world's computing window becomes poisoned by those impassioned for money? It is deplorable behavior.

In some countries most medical doctors don't have any kind of doctoral degree. In the UK for example doctors have a bachelor's degree.

Germany has armed cops and a lot of hunters, and fairly high gun ownership rate for Western Europe. Still police practices a policy of deescalation, rarely fires their guns and basically never kills anybody.

Proper training of police (years, not weeks) and a policy of deescalation have at least as big an effect as rates of gun ownership

Given that he put "teaching" in with "overhead", there's no shock that he left. The precise reason I chose to push to continue into a professor position was my love of teaching, and my willingness to sacrifice lucrative pay and work-life balance for it.

To me, hearing this is like an architect talking about loving the job, but not caring for all the designing buildings it seems to entail. And it's part of the reason that I never advise my students who dislike teaching to even contemplate the academic job market and trying to get a faculty position. If you don't love teaching, go get actually paid elsewhere.
I can second that. Got worse when I started reading it. I'm guessing it's aimed at people who can sleep but don't think it's important. I secretly despise those people. It's sort of like they're being perfectly healthy but choose to smoke while I'm forced to work in a dusty coal mine. I know it shouldn't bother me but it does.
Telegram “just works” for me most of the time (except when it has some outages, which are somewhat rare). It is also highly feature rich, fast, and works in multiple devices. It’s the best alternative to WhatsApp for things that people who don’t care much about privacy or security care about.
Don't worry, they were just trolling and trying to stop other people from doing the puzzles.

But someone was able to solve the final puzzle 24 hours after it went live. I'll be writing up some blog posts with the solutions.
Because local constituents have a front row seat wherein we hear what politicians say and what they do and how they do it.

In any average Silicon Valley town(or college town for that matter) where there are more non voting residents than those who can vote, the policies are geared towards everyone and usually not in the interest of those who are long term residents and have voted and have paid taxes.

So politicians have to deliver for both the voting and non voting constituents, but they have to convince the voters to choose what’s sometimes not in their best interest.

This is the reason most politicians lie or back track. It is a most superior skill to be able to convince people to choose what isn’t in their best interest. In California..and especially the Silicon Valley mega region, politicians of all stripe have honed this skill to a fine art form.
The remaining farmers can make very good money. The median wage for ranchers and other agricultural managers is $66,360/year and this is for generally low cost of living areas.

It’s farm hands that that really benifit from moving to city’s.
What bothers me is that they did not responsibly disclose the vulnerabilities to the manufacturers ahead of time. This is not moral, and I'm not sure what one gains by not doing that. I think that conference organizers should pressure presenters to do that before talks.

Either that or attendees should apply bottom up pressure and ask live questions like "what did you do to responsibly disclose this issue?". I think I'll do that on future security conferences I attend.
I feel like you have missed some important nuance in my comment or misunderstood the context of our discussion. Rural flight says nothing about moving farms into the city. But, statistically, farmers make substantially more than most. Moving to the city (to find a new career) would not be one's best bet if farming is what they know.
Have you tried -Og? I would try this before modifying the sources..
Almost all of the moon's surface is older than the ~500MYA scale we're talking about. It has the occasional impact, like Earth does, but the overwhelming majority of those craters you see are from the early bombardment. The dark splotches visible on the near side, the maria, are mostly flat volcanic plains laid down toward the end of that period about 3BYA, and are visibly lacking in craters.

No, a base on the moon would still be there.

> So politicians have to deliver

Why do they have to deliver for people who don't vote for them? If they're some altruist who wants to do the Right Thing (TM), wouldn't they get replaced real quick by someone who knows who their constituents really are?

But even assuming that they do, why is that so wrong? You make it sound like it's terrible to think about our neighbours, whether they can vote or not.

That 30% is unjustifiable. Period. If we're talking cost, the cost of hosting software and payment processor fees are closer to 7-8%, 99% of which are on the payment side.

The cost of Apple's gatekeeping -- their review bureaucracy -- is entirely their own doing and benefits no one. Software can and should be sold directly. There is zero justification for a middleman with digital delivery.

They say it's for consumers which is absolute nonsense when you look at what makes it into the store. Most of it is garbage.

The effect on "real" developers is staggering: Discoverability is virtually non-existent, the review process is time wasting, opaque and capricious. There is constant downward pressure on pricing. Reviews have to be aggressively managed, either by begging users for positive reviews or buying them and risking a ban, since people tend to review when they're pissed off. And then, Apple takes 30% off the top for your trouble.

The 2 million apps (or whatever it is now) boast is laughable. Apart from the expected stuff (browsers, social networks, etc) there is a dearth of worthwhile software. Which is a shame given the capabilities of the platform and its overall utility.

I don't see the US regulating Apple (or any big tech) given the prestige and money coming into the country, so I'm sure status quo will remain. But Apple should really be forced to open up iOS as a platform. And I say that as someone opposed to government intervention.

I will say this, if they ever close macOS as a platform, I'm changing careers and throwing away all of my Apple products. Which would be a shame, since they really are the best in a number of areas.

It's simply a power and money grab. Anyone who says anything else is full of shit.
Facebook the company and platform need to be broken up and the pieces/parts isolated from each other. For all the benefits that people see in using it, Facebook has become the most dangerous online company in the world.
To me the greatest author of these types of books is Steve Jackson ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jackson_(British_game_de... ) who worked on the Fighting Fantasy books and the amazing Sorcery series ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jackson%27s_Sorcery! - HN URL parser breaks on this link - add the ! at the end )

His greatest book IMO was Creature of Havoc ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creature_of_Havoc ) - as a 12 year old I took me and a friend of mine several months to finally complete - it had game elements which made it very hard to cheat.

This article tries to draw some link between CYOA books and adventure games such as Monkey Island which I don't believe exists at all.

Adventure games, in general, do not have branching narratives of any kind. They use interactive mechanics to amplify/guarantee the thrill of relevation. Apart from this interactive twist, they are very close to normal Detective Fiction (which also tries to deliver similar things through non-interactive mechanics).

I actually really resent CYOA's influence on gaming. This idea of Audience Control being a kind of grand distinguishing feature of gaming as an art form is an absolute cancer.

The actual experience of branching narrative fiction is in my experience, without fail, shit. To the extent Bandersnatch works at all it's due to the meta nature of the story. Can you imagine any other Black Mirror story adapted to this format?
This is largely the issue with 'hardware wallets', the security models aren't particularly well defined and this leads to ambiguity like this. You're absolutely correct in that the concern is the device is not genuine, which is what attestation of the firmware is supposed to prevent. In the case of the Ledger, the attestation doesn't prove anything about the safety of the device unfortunately for a number of reasons (this attack, and other logical ones).

The obvious one is that the security domains in the device are idiotic. There's a "secure" processor with almost no processing power or IO, and a "insecure" one which handles the screen, buttons and IO. Both of them handle secrets (for example, the seed shown on the screen), which leaves you with essentially no gain whatsoever.

The more logical hardware implant than the one shown at CCC is a bluetooth module that can simply read the I2C lines going to the screen and transmit the seed as a beacon whenever it is plugged in. This has the advantage of not needing presence as with their demonstration, and with assistance doesn't need any physical presence.

I described this as a concept for a security review of a cold storage setup which was "unbreakable". Is this sort of thing realistic? Perhaps. Is a $5 wrench attack more sensible? Probably. It's worth considering what supply chain attacks are possible though.
