As 'daveFNbuck points out, believing in open access (as I do) does entail an amount of skepticism towards the current journal system -- I do think that the current incentive structure behind journal publishing threatens (if not totally compromises) the results within.

Ethical standards are indeed a moving target, and it's the job of applied ethics to determine that target at any given point. This is exactly how it should be -- it gives prior research ethical historicity that we can revisit and evaluate to determine whether our priors are as sound as we think they are.
Yes, it definitely has the potential to become a major issue. So much so that the DoD is already working on tools to detect deepfakes [1]. Of course this will very likely devolve into an arms race akin to antivirus vendors vs malware developers.

The fundamental problem is going to be that many people seem to actually like being in their comfortable echo chamber. So, if they're presented with a video that reaffirms their hunch that the Clintons run a child trafficking ring from under a pizza store, those people seem to be unlikely to venture out and do the necessary due diligence to verify the information they're being given :(

In Sweden there is Lime competing with the Swedish VOI.

They both charge 10 sek (USD 1.1) to unlock, where VOI charges 0.165 and Lime charges 0.330 per minute.

Bus stops are everywhere and a single ticket costs $2.75 where a 24 hour ticket in the same city zone costs $5.50 (so you always get this if returning), in addition to 25% off any rider in addition to the first on the ticket.

Riding to work (5 min) and back from the grocery store to home (another 5) costs me $5.5 on a Lime, the same as the bus which allows me to ride anywhere for 24 hours, and $3.86 on a VOI.

For any distances longer than that I'd rather take the bus, since it's warm, comfortable and a notably safer ride.

Whenever I hear another case like this, I'm once again reminded of how the mainland Chinese deal with being witnesses to accidents or crimes taking place (as long as they aren't the victim), they simply walk on by as the "reward" for them is often not good, and in many cases they end up getting implicated.

Maybe it's time for solo security researchers to stop being the nice guys. I'm not saying they should start behaving like blackhats, simply that self-preservation must come first and when you are faced with an industry who treats what I'd consider acts of generosity with contempt and legal action, then fuck them.

As someone in the midst of building a game in C for 7 platforms, with WebAssembly being one of them, my main disappointment is with the lack of coroutines (or lack of control over the stack to implement them.) It hinders how wide my engine can go since I'm limited to a fork-and-join model for splitting work across threads. Poor code generation is also another pain point, but I fully expect that to improve drastically over the coming year.

Overall, I'm pretty excited for WASM and the implications of it, but it does feel like the web has regressed in the ability to deliver games.
You're welcome!

I think part of the issue with dark matter and similar is that the main stream mostly hears about the theories that are the best candidates, and not about all the alternative explanations physicists have thought about but discarded due to some more or less obvious issues. Most won't even make it to arXiv, since they'll be eliminated by some rudimentary cross checks.

So the public might get the impression that physicists don't even try to come up with alternatives, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
The smart thing to do, if a company has no public vulnerability bounty program, is to sell the information on the blackmarket instead. This will incentivize all companies to start their bounty program, whilst still getting some cash reward.

We lost some diversity when Microsoft decided to adopt chromium[1].

I assume, though, that Google will eventually make some change that Microsoft doesn't want, and they'll be forced to fork chromium.

The recent proposals from Google[2] that hobble ad blockers and extensions like tampermonkey might even be enough.

He mentions a number of "de-Google" measures.

Here is one he omitted: What if those running websites stopped treating "Googlebot" as different from any other "bot"?

No more preferential treatment for Google.

What if websites made it as easy as possible for anyone to download/copy/create a webcache like Google's (or even just a small cache of a particular segment of the web that interests them).

Nothing would radically change and democratize the web faster. No need for every web user to use the same search engine, believing it has a superior cache. With preferential treatment removed, every search engine could have the same cache of the web's public information.

We could have a content-based web instead of a location-based one. There could be unlimited locations from which to retrieve any of the web's public content. ("CDNs" already hint at the effiencies of this approach.)

As another commenter points out, switching to DuckDuckGo is more or less switching to Bing, which one might argue is just a copy of the Google webcache (Microsoft did not build it from scratch).

Engineering logbooks are a great idea (and electronic/mechanical engineers have been doing it for a while - because it works!).

I use a spiralbound notebook and a fountain pen for mine, because I find the change of tools helps me to think about the project I'm logging on a meta level. I tried doing it in a textfile and it didn't work so well for me, but people are different.
I'm reminded of this South Park quote:

"Well, Stan, the truth is marijuana probably isn't gonna make you kill people, and it most likely isn't gonna fund terrorism, but… well, son, pot makes you feel fine with being bored. And it's when you're bored that you should be learning some new skill or discovering some new science or being creative. If you smoke pot you may grow up to find out that you aren't good at anything."

An endless stream of Facebook or Twitch or YouTube probably won't do acute harm, but it fills a void that might have otherwise been filled with something more nurturing.

But... I have a cousin who spent an insane amount of time watching YouTube. She loves all the usual personalities. And one day something clicked in her and she wanted to do it too. She spent an incredible amount of her free time bashing her head against creative tools, learning how to animate and draw and make video.

She's 13 and can use illustrator and a Wacom and publish animations to YouTube. All self taught. I'm jealous. My parents had the best interests in mind but still did the, "get off the X and go play outside." My cousin has parental figures who noticed and nurtured her passion, even though it looked a whole lot like her YouTube addiction. Buying her a tablet and whatnot.

So like all important issues I'm left with "balance" being probably the safest approach.

Maybe React hooks are a bit different, but Drupal was heavily hook based, and then starting going away from that in favor of Symfony components in recent years, which are class based and utilize inheritance. Also, UI has typically been considered one of the areas where OOP is well suited for, from Smalltalk to the Web DOM.
I tested li.me e-bikes in London for the 3 times I had the free start ride (invitee bonus).

The bikes are ok, the electric push helps (you still have to pedal, but it levels out the effort, so going uphill is kind of the same effort as going level), and the convenience of just taking them from wherever and leave them where you feel like is really nice.

But holy shit they are expensive. My commute by bike would be aprox 30 mins, that is 5.5 pounds per ride - the tube is only 2.9 pounds, the bus only 1.5 pounds. A 1-year Santander bike subscription is only 90 pounds, and the ride is almost equally nice.

At 5 pounds per ride, buying a commute scooter would break even in 2 months. To make it worthwhile to ride the electric bikes, the price would have to come in at about half to be somewhere between the tube (which moves you fast, but you have to walk a bit to the station) and bus (which moves slower, but the stations are much closer to your home, usually), at 2.5 pounds per 30 min ride (a bit above Santander which charges 2 pounds per 30 mins, but which are not electric).
This. I relocated a couple of times recently, and am about to relocate again. I too contemplated about a similar service. Personally I'm not too worried about the privacy aspect as much as about the pain of notifying every single service provider when I change my address.

It does open up some interesting use cases. E.g., when I go on vacation then hold off delivery, if it's from Amazon then deliver it to such and such a post box etc. I'm not sure about the market size though.
I'm not sure what you're trying to imply. If it's regarding the order, you're wrong. The keys returned by either `keys()` or by `__iter__` are returned in arbitrary order [1].

"The European Court said the conviction was correct"

First of all, I think the argument that can be drawn from one Court decision is not very strong.

Second and possibly more important: this was a decision by the European Court of Human Rights (which is completely unrelated to the European Court of Justice and the EU) and the decision was not an appeal but the question was whether Austria had violated the European Convention on Human Rights which is a specific international treaty with specific Rights, mainly crafted in the late 1940s. It doesn't aim to be an all around Constitution for Europe but protects certain things for example in this case possibly free speech under Art. 10.

The fact the the HR Court interpreted the Convention in a way that allowed Austrian Authorities to fine a certain statement does in no way imply that freedom of speech is not protected in the European Union or in the Council of Europe Member States. Instead it is a fundamental idea of the European Convention on HR that states get a certain margin of appreciation to make decisions such as these. In other cases (for example concerning whistleblowing or Lingens v Austria) the Court has upheld free speech.
>I'd go so far as to say that if a conference tries to enforce rules 1 and 7 (everyone has to wear a badge and no flipping), then I will simply decline to attend.

That is probably your appropriate response for most conferences then. To give just one example, if I'm working a booth and someone wants to ask me questions, I will probably not do so unless I know who they are. It's a common trip of financial analysts to flip their badges so they're incognito.
A most excellent summary.

It's funny how hardly anyone in this comment thread seems to have taken away this message. I do however see a whole lot of rather defensive comments about how religion is useless and bad for this reason or that reason, or attacking the article (which I thought was very reasonably written) for religious apology. I think that offers a visible example of the phenomenon under discussion - any suggestion of positive things flowing from religion is met with a kind of allergic reaction.

> They have the right to insist...

People have a right to share true information legitimately acquired without the constraints of governments or mobs in other jurisdictions.

Locals can't prevent foreigners from giving directions to their library or the best restaurant. Those are just facts of the world. Visitors are welcome to go discover a town then leave and tell their friends about it.

Then an addressing system is just a shorthand for that locational information. It's just a hash function or a lookup table. No one has a right to prevent others from using data structures to organize their thoughts.

All rights granted to some impose negative obligations on others. Those implied negative obligations should not conflict with other rights. Rights should promote the healthy functioning of society. Also, rights should promote freedom more than restriction.

A right to prevent others from discussing addresses without permission of locals conflicts with other rights, doesn't promote the healthy functioning of society, and creates far more restrictions than freedoms. I don't think it's a good right.
Whether it is done or not doesn't even matter. It also does not matter whether deep faking videos is made illegal.

All that matters is that it is possible to do so, and supporters of political candidate A will claim with possible deniability that political candidate A never said "X". While also claiming that political candidate B definitely said "Y", even though this may be false. Soon there will be no way to prove whether or not the videos are actually real and people will believe whatever fits their preconceived notions.
I honestly can't imagine bug free software, even in critical software development. Luckily for me I've worked on important apps, but if there's an issue there is time to trace and repair the data...not a system that has 6 million orders per second.

> That way my publicly visible "host name" wouldn't reveal where I actually live (makes it harder for burglars to find me) and if I move I only have to update my real physical location in one place (my "name server") rather than with everyone who wants to send me mail.

This part is done by mailbox companies like EarthClassMail.com. I've used them for years, and it's wonderfully convenient to have the same postal address despite moving all over the country. Plus, if you want, they'll open specific envelopes, deposit checks for you, scan stuff, etc. I love that because as a traveling consultant, I don't wanna wait until I get home to have checks go into my bank account.

Drawbacks: there's a latency and an expense involved with forwarding packages. I tend to not use it for packages, just for regular postal mail. Anytime someone asks for an address, they get my EarthClassMail one, because I probably don't want whatever they're mailing me anyway.

The Council of the European Union as well. Many (but not all) of the government representatives sitting on the Council are elected as MPs in their own countries, but that shouldn't make them a powerful part of the legislature at the EU level.

I wish we had a real bicameral European Parliament instead of this historically grown mess.

The EHCR, not the ECJ (the latter of which is related to trade agreements). The EHCR did the opposite of invalidate her conviction -- they upheld the decision of the Austrian court[1]. In other words, they rejected the claim that Austria's anti-blasphemy laws are a violation of human rights (which I disagree with -- though I'm definitely not anti-EU like others in this chain).

Congratulations, you have figured out what a P.O. Box is. A bit out of fashion (at least in NL) but was the standard for exactly this. Or people who were expecting to move around quite a bit.

My Dad used to have one (around the divorce of my mom), My Uncle had one, as he was abroad a lot and moved house a couple of times, and wanted a dutch address. etc etc.

As for paper email, aren't there also services that open and scan your mail for you?

Not exactly "DNS for physical mail" as you described but quite handy!

As for the obfuscation part, if the delivery people know how to resolve... so will many others. ;)
and they generally don't move overnight...
It's a good point.

As an Aussie who vaguely follows Aussie politics. I know that at the very least the current ruling party has some pretty funny ideas about internet privacy [1][2]. So it kinda scares me that Fastmail is based there.

That said, I'm currently using Fastmail since switching to it from Gmail a few months ago. The service itself is excellent. As far as I can tell, they don't seem to actively scan the contents of your email to build a profile on you like Google does [3]. So, at least for now, there's that.

If I had to come up with a rationale it's that name/company info on badges is designed more for interaction at booths (where first name and company are probably more relevant than last name) rather than catching a familiar name on a badge while wandering around.

You may find that the terms and conditions of the conference, that you've agreed to, require you to keep the front of your badge visible.

Geert Wilders is a leader of the largest opposition party. He's a big problem for sure, but can't be compared with places like Poland, Hungary, Serbia, and others that already have autocratic leaders for years.

Western Europe saw oppressive candidates losing the fight and becoming a fierce opposition. Eastern Europe already got fucked and is now facing consequences. It was enough for the autocratic leaders to win fair elections once and there were no fair elections since.

>dedicated box

What kind of dedicated box are you referring to?
I was at the supermarket yesterday. There was a little boy (about 4) walking behind his dad. The boy was doing something on his dad's smartphone, holding it inches from his face. The boys father was walking at a normal rate and hadn't noticed his son had slowed to a crawl, completely immersed in the screen.

The father had completely disappeared from view before he realized his son was still on the other side of the store. Upon returning he complained to him, "I've been doing all sorts of silly tricks for you, and you aren't even there!" but didn't seem to make the connection with the phone, or take it away.

My best guess is that giving devices to toddlers is so popular for the same reason putting them in front of a TV is popular. It's the same sedative, in a more convenient form factor.
