HPKP could have potentiated these attacks by allowing an attacker to pin their certificate while they were in control of the domain, making it difficult for the domain owner to ever fully regain control.
Nope, you're thinking of this backwards. The people who actually have something illegal to hide might actually try to do what you're saying here, make it untraceable somehow (at non-trivial risk and expense, of course!). But if what you're worried about is more casual, warrant-less invasion of privacy by your government (that isn't motivated by something as blatantly illegal as the examples you chose), "just store it at home" is a no-brainer.

We're thinking along the same lines. I was wondering how this could be adapted to just make you invisible to cameras. It would be a fun project to deploy at a protest or something where everybody is filming everyone else, or maybe I just don't want to be caught on 500 building cameras as I walk down the street.
Maybe someone on HN will know the answer to this: is it easy to enable/disable service with Google Fi? My use case is to use Fi while traveling internationally for a few months out of the year while switching back to my existing plan in the US. I only want to pay for Fi in the months when I'm out of the country.
That is such a courageous step to take. What happens if asylum request is denied and they are returned custody to Saudi Arabia and their family? That scares me. I hope they know what to say when asking for asylum.
Since switching to Android 9 has anyone else noticed that their data usage went up? Or rather that their phone disconnects from Wifi frequently?
You can.

In the spotify app on my phone or computer I can choose an echo dot (or group of multiple alexa devices) as the output device.

Alternately, you can pair with an echo dot and use it as a bluetooth speaker.
To counter some of the comments here, I absolutely loved the book and went on to recommend it to all my scientist friends. While it may get a bit technical for the lay audience, it should be within reach for a typical scientist or IT person. I wish our society had a better understanding of causality—that would raise the level of many important discussions.

Being a long-time fan of Gelman (and having studied his Bayesian Data Analysis textbook), I am baffled and disappointed that he doesn't seem to understand Pearl's ideas. In his linked 2009 post[1], he wrote: "I’ve never been able to understand Pearl’s notation: notions such as a “collider of an M-structure” remain completely opaque to me." I wonder if, after reading this book accessible even to non-statisticans, he still doesn't understand it.

It depends on your needs... Are you building a complex application with several developers. You probably want a build system and module based JS. I prefer react + redux + material-ui. Some of the new stuff around hooks and context could displace redux for smaller apps easily.

If you need a one-off page that does a little dynamic stuff? Drop in jquery+bootstrap and a little wiring js and be done with it. Not a huge fan of the size of jquery + bootstrap, but it's a fast path to done depending on your one-off needs.
Ask HN: Good resources to learn AI related to chemistry?
I have a good understanding of how different kinds of AI work and can be applied.
I'd like to know if there is any resource that teaches or somewhat guides you to apply this concepts to chemistry.

I'd like to learn to predict properties of molecules.
Google Home also has BT now. So you can play anything over BT. I use it for my Audible.
It was a different time back then, hardware vendors had to sign exclusivity agreements, they were in general big bullies back in the day.
I had a few unsuccessful back and forths with different Fi agents about an issue, and after a couple of weird remarks, I developed the theory that first level agents get their performance scores penalized every time they escalate an issue. I would have them go through the same script over and over for over an hour, and even sometimes admit that I had an issue, but refuse to press that button. I have no hard evidence, but that was my read from the conversations, and would explain the bad support experience overall.
Yes! In 1981 my wife gave me Loeliger's book as a birthday gift, which led to Forth being the first language I implemented and worked with for pay! Excellent book (though the book's pseudocode has a couple of bugs .. I forget just where.)

The local water board paid me to write a records-management program, for which Forth was a good way to access machine-level stuff. The biggest obstacle came from British Telecom, where we wanted to push voice data from the water flow meters over phone lines, and BT took a very long bureaucratic time to decide whether that should be permitted as speech or data.
I still use mine. Do you use the iPhone or an Android client? I find that Google Home sometimes needs to be started for devices to be seen. I may need to buy a few more before they are gone completely.
I have been to conferences in the US and Europe. Receptions with complimentary wine or beer are pretty common. This includes conferences held at universities.

What field are you in?
I can relate to this. I was in Japan for two weeks and the international data worked flawlessly for me. I was diligent about tracking my usage and didn't see any charges out of line with my expectations. It made navigating the public transit a cakewalk. I'm in the same boat.
True. Unfortunately the quote does not mention gravity or melting ice at all. The two sentences are about the ocean warming and the differences in sea-level depending on how warm the local ocean is. This is just wrong (99.9% sure, but would update my view with some strong evidence). With a PhD in Earth Science and a Bachelors in Geophysics I am just sad when wrong ideas get expressed as the truth from scientists.
The lede here is somewhat burried:

"From what I’ve since learned, if a card in your Google Pay is stolen, or someone uses your Payments account fraudulently, or anything happens that leads to a security flag being raised, it can lead to your Google Payments account being frozen.

...

If you can’t use Google Payments, you can’t pay for Google Fi

This, fundamentally, is why I can’t suggest anyone use Project Fi anymore.

...

Getting this fixed is actually impossible, and I say that as someone who really, truly, loves solving problems and has made a living off getting phone agents to want to help me.

We have submitted copies of his ID four times, my ID twice, multiple photos of credit cards, and various credit card statements. We’ve talked to agents and supervisors at Google Payments and Google Fi. No one is empowered to do anything, and even a well-intentioned agent doesn’t get the same answer from the “security department” twice.

I’ve since found hundreds of comments and Reddit threads from people having similar experiences, with almost zero positive conclusions.

The only suggestion of a solution we’ve been given is that he abandon both his email address and phone number of the past twenty years and start fresh."
I think flagged for a lot of flamebaiting and misrepresentation of all the things.

I'm going to address one point and then flee this thread: "An American Woman wanting to be a housewife is internalized misogyny..." No. Modern (4th wave) feminists don't think that. That train of thought hasn't really been popular since the 70's.

If you're going to bring in the intersection of religions, it's pretty easy to say that they all have conservative and liberal branches, and that typically modern feminism falls to "if it works for you and isn't about you oppressing someone, have at it". So most 4th wave feminists would be able to reconcile a woman wanting to be Muslim and also not be restrained by society. The same way they assume that you can be a Christian and also a cool person, or a stay at home mom and a feminist.

There is nothing inherently just or equal about coming with guns to people and taking a percentage of their earned resources.

> I love tax policy on HN, because it really brings out of the woodwork people who do care about what's good for the country, and people who don't.

And I love it because it brings out holier-than-thou virtue signalers, who think that they know better than everyone how to spend other people's resources, while denigrating their contributions.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. "Caring about what's good for the country" is not nearly enough to be able to bring positive change even to a subset of people in the country. But it does bring some virtual internet points, I concede that.
We have a few around the house, connected to various speakers. Never had any trouble with them. I'll be buying a few more now before the price bumps, don't wanna be stuck in the Logitech Squeezebox misery again.

My only complaint is that they can't be grouped with a regular Chromecast, but AFAICT that's a hardware issue (regular Chromecast doesn't have the bits necessary for synchronising with low enough latency).
Many Britishers consider The Guardian and BBC to be very biased, if not completely then atleast on certain topics.

Separating sponsored propoganda from legitimate news will only get harder as time goes on and media companies continue the buyout sprees that generally have the outcome of aligning narratives and interests.

Interesting free article: Laser-induced damage threshold of camera sensors and micro-optoelectromechanical systems https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/journals/optical-engineer...

Cameras also get regularly damaged at concerts and light shows with visible lasers. Those lasers are class 2 lasers, though, and can output more light while not being blocked by the IR filter in cameras.
True, but the only way to make it more sensible is to be less thorough. I.e. not implement certain rules that are stated explicitly in the books. Like modern Christians and Jews that do not kill adulterers, even though Deuteronomy explicitly tells them to do so.
I don't think the parent made that assumption, though. They stated it was "thorough", not valid. While I have no idea what a "valid" interpretation of Islam means (it seems like an unprovable honorific, bestowed arbitrarily), "thorough" seems more like an assertion of direct correspondence to the original text.

This was one of Apple's great inventions, it became widespread in hotels, every base station used it - so having achieved massive adoption they obsoleted it.
Raising tax rates has nothing to do with making the rich pay their fair share. The countries with the highest tax rates have the least progressive tax systems even in terms of income rate bands. Trying to tax the rich doesn't work because it is either a) unworkable or b) dramatically harms investment. Scandinavian countries both have high income tax rates in general and large (regressive I might add) taxation on goods and services precisely because the rich are not actually paying for government expenditures.

Countries with higher taxes have made a different tradeoff about the cost of taxation( borne mostly by the middle class) compared to the benefits of large fiscal outlays by the government.

>> I love tax policy on HN, because it really brings out of the woodwork people who do care about what's good for the country, and people who don't.

Maybe instead of arguing about tax policy using canards you could come up with a coherent argument based on actual policy outcomes?
There are a bazillion of Bluetooth receivers out there, Google neither invented those nor was particularly good at making them.
I'll second that Mint is solid. They're a no-nonsense TMO-based MVNO. If you just need text, talk, and minimal to moderate data, and are okay with TMO's hit or miss coverage and iffy building penetration (which seems to have only improved moderately in spite of their band 12 LTE rollout), Mint is fine.
Yes, can confirm. I can't actually load a webpage on their '2G' service anytime I travel to europe.

I suspect that their partners in europe throttle with an algorithm so aggressive it flat-out breaks TCP.
I noticed here that noone seems to have mentioned using a static site generator for this.

We are currently evaluating tools for this with much of the same requirements.

My current idea for this is to use Hugo with https://themes.gohugo.io/hugo-theme-learn/ as the theme. It has search, code snippets and such. Does anyone have experience with doing it this way?
I don't know exactly how it would work. But if I wanted to figure it out, I would start by taking a fairly large project's ticket tracker and sort through every reply on every ticket and try to categorize them into buckets.

For instance, I'd expect you to find "me too" comments, and those should be eliminated, just as "me too" "answers" on S.O. are eliminated.

I'd expect you to find status-update queries and replies. So that suggests you need a mechanism for pinging for an update that doesn't require a bunch of text from user and developer, or else some mechanism by which the freshness of a ticket becomes irrelevant.add new answers to old questions.)

I'd expect you to find people posting workarounds, which would suggest that you want workarounds to be a different "type" than regular commentary, and you probably want them called out separately somehow. It sucks to have to read through three pages of identical me-too complaints to find a workaround and then read through another two pages of people thanking the workaround author for the workaround, as frequently happens on the Ubuntu tracker.

I'm not sure if these are helpful examples or not, but I think when you see a pile of messages that you have to read through to extract content, you are looking at an opportunity to work out the hidden semantics of the thing, and turn those hidden semantics into first-class entities and actions, to make a more structured environment that will save people time.

I have seen too many JIRA deployments where the only plan was, make the state machine larger and require more separate fields from everybody. But those fields and states really just represent the hope that you might not have to read that pile of comments. In practice, most of those fields wind up empty, most of those states wind up skipped over, and you still have to read the whole ticket. Why? Because a JIRA ticket is still fundamentally a chronologically-sorted forum thread.
How is fake news defined? So many things people disagree with are called fake news these days.
Despite everything else said, I’ve gotta say that there’s no better feeling than touching down in a new place, turning on your phone, and having it just work.

No stupid voip apps. No managing prepaid balances. No switching sims. Just direct dial and go.

Fi service is incredible for the mobile roaming alone and I’m not quite sure why nobody else can do it. I love it so much and it’s my favorite product. It makes a measurable positive impact in my life.

agreed, it is so much cheaper than verizon for multiple phones on a plan. we don't use a lot of data, but its very predictable and cheap pricing if we are traveling and are using it. I've not had to deal with support often, so my experience has been positive.

My single gripe about Project/Google Fi is that sometimes I'm forced to use a 3rd party app (FiSwitch) for when it doesn't automatically switch to the best carrier for that area, but even with that the cheaper price is enough for me to stay. I still hope they improve the carrier detection issue though.
The irony in this comment is priceless:

“Simpson’s paradox in its various forms is something that generations of researchers and statisticians have been trained to look out for. And we do. There is nothing mysterious about it. (This debate regarding Simpsons, which appeared in The American Statistician in 2014, and which I link in the article, hopefully will be visible to readers who are not ASA members.)”

There is nothing mysterious about Simpson’s paradox but the proper answer is still being debated!

Pearl’s response ends as follows:

“The next step is to let the community explore:

1) How many statisticians can actually answer Simpson’s question, and

2) How to make that number reach 90%.

I believe The Book of Why has already doubled that number, which is some progress. It is in fact something that I was not able to do in the past thirty years through laborious discussions with the leading statisticians of our time.

It is some progress, let’s continue.”

False. If your small business is barley making it - any and all money goes directly back into the company for survival. If you're on the edge of going under, any additional money you can keep on the table increases the chances of survival.

If it's a $2000 Sony camera, it's definitely going to be a 35mm sensor. His lens on the other hand I wouldn't be able to guess.
When I got serious about this stuff, the best decision I made was to focus on performance measures instead of body composition ones. I’m still overweight (but not nearly as much as I once was), but people don’t generally treat me like it because I don’t act overweight— I’ve now got more strength, endurance, and agility than a great many normal-weight people.

So, for most people, my advice is to first focus on how much they’re able to do: it’s faster and more reliable than weight loss, brings comparable health and social benefits, and puts you in a better position to appreciate the fat reduction when you start focusing on that.

First someone has to make a server that is perfectly secure and lasts for 50 years without any updates. It needs to be like a thermostat from the 1950s - maybe it lacks the latest features but it still works just the same as new. I'll accept maybe it only needs to last 10 years, but that is the minimum time.

I have family to think about: I don't have time to update my servers every time some new zero-day is fixed. I'd rather pay someone else to deal with those details. My five year old is growing up time with him is far more important that fixing security holes.

"Schmooze docs"? It hasn't been like that in decades.

Most pharma reps I know do the following: 1) arrive at doctor's office, 2) wait anywhere from 10 min to 3 hours for the doctor to speak to them, 3) spend 5-10 min dropping off new materials and answering any questions [often focused on insurance], and 4) head to the next office.

I wouldn't call that "schmoozing".
My wife and I just traveled to Korea and Japan for the better part of December. And I have a Google Fi plan while she is with T-mobile. My service was superior in several ways:

1. Better and more reliable coverage
2. Roaming surcharges for my (Google Fi) calls where less (albeit, nominally so) at $0.20/min vs $0.25/min
3. While she had some problems enabling her data, the transition of my service in this respect was absolutely seamless (and as just fast as here in the States)
4. Importantly, Google Fi supports tethering abroad whereas T-mobile does not
Yet many parents still think that nerds are boring. Many students still bully those who focus on academic excellence. Teachers still think that students should learn easy peasy stuff because, well, "everyone is fking unique", or let's leave no child behind.

The end result? The people in the middle ground, aka most children, will be left behind.

Indeed, you won't ever see $400k or even $300k working for startups that "pay" you in illiquid 0.001% stakes in what will surely become a multi-billion dollar runaway success (in which unlikely case your share will be diluted to nothing anyway).

Land ecosystems had evolved with a fair amount of change. They can recover also much faster because they are "high energy" machines. In the mud you have a lot of hidden structure that is basic for the marine living things inhabiting those ecosystems. Just stirring the mud you can kill a lot of the biomass. And there is the anoxic nasty stuff also that would poison the area.
>they piggyback off the T-Mobile network while Google Fi dynamically uses the best of 3 networks

This happens only in theory, not practice with Fi. As a Fi launch customer that stuck with Fi through late 2017, Sprint (and later US Cellular) service was always terrible and frequently unusable, no matter what metro area I used it in. My experience improved dramatically when I just kept my Nexus device around as a spare, and moved my primary SIM to an iPhone, where it was permanently locked to using TMO.
