This is essentially the same as asking why can’t a country only use one person as its president. The idea of blockchain is removing the central authority by letting everyone has a chance to be the authority for a short period of time. If a person stays in authority for too long, the person may be corrupted and threat the entire chain. Therefore we limit her power by only allowing her to govern one block. And switch to a next person for the next block.
U.S. Supreme Court Puts Limits on Police Power to Seize Private Property
Your position seems to boil down to suggesting since the problem cannot be fixed perfectly, nobody should even try, and meanwhile those who do try are "hysterical". In other words, simultaneously defeatist and offensive.

If you feel so hopeless about your impact on the world around you, please keep such depressing ideas to yourself
This is why putting up with the potential road rage is the right answer to OP's dilemma.

As a cyclist you must be noticeable and predictable at all times.

Put flashing lights and reflectors anywhere you can. Make turn signals with your hand. When you take up a lane, do it confidently and clearly communicate your intent. Take it all seriously and "officially" and drivers will be forced to pick up on it.
To be fair I think it is worse these days than it could be. Over the last 50 years or so Sweden developed a form of egalitarian individualism, which has made social interaction a bit peculiar. But today there is rising inequality which has turned some of that individualism into egoism. At the same time there are a lot of people moving in or out of cities, breaking up friend groups and leaving small towns to their faith. Swedes do quite well socially when it comes to things like non profit clubs. Now everyone is trying to be "international" which most Swedes aren't good at as they are far too concerned about what other people think.
It will be doom and gloom from liberals until they take back control, then it will be doom and gloom from conservatives again. Such is life.
> With that, countries like the U.K., who have a strong national identity, can and should leave - if they want to be an independent nation.

I want what you're smoking. What are you talking about? Do the Scots identify with the Welsh or the Irish? The UK, as all countries is an artificial construct which did not 'organically' came to existence based on the 'national' awakening of Its population.
You might also keep someone around because there are not enough candidates to fill all positions, never mind hire a replacement for them.

The News app says it's version 4.1.1. It's part of a shipping release version of macOS. I don't know why any regular user should come to the conclusion that this is some sort of technical preview. Why wouldn't they think that it's simply terrible software?
As a result of a few close friends having children, I was recently introduced to certain channels run by parents who seem to have had children specifically to be used as youtube props. It's pretty sad.

It's probably safe to assume child "influencers" have an even rougher road ahead of them than many child actors did. I wonder how many or few of the parents who are making a living doing this are putting money their children earned them aside for their children? Based on the sizes of the houses and pools in the background rapidly increasing over time in a couple channels my niece watches, I'm guessing not many.
You are wrong. Read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14735100 .
According to Carl Hewitt, the actor model is based on physics (especially quantum physics). Doesn't this then imply that the natural scope of such a system entails huge numbers of actors, interacting in a probabilistic way?

So in order to understand our systems with huge graphs of actors, we should attempt to develop something akin to the heat equation for actors. Trying to understand the behaviour of every individual actor in the context of the whole system is just too much.
Please don't pile on. If someone makes a mistake, it's enough that they fix it.
"But, without a life partner, life hardly makes sense."

I'm sorry you feel this way. Looks like you already know the answer and a potential fix to the root cause. As with many drugs anti depressants are temporary relief and long term can have side effects. Better to address the root issue.
>Sure, a keylogger could eventually get all of the passwords I use on the regular, but it couldn't get literally every password I have and in a nice, neat format along with where the passwords are used.

But passwords aren't just about you, they're about the server they're also stored on too. Without a password manager, how do you propose remembering unique fully random passwords for dozens to hundreds of services over the course of decades? And they must still be easy enough to enter that most people will actually use it. And also be trivial to change at will, for when (not if) the password database is compromised. And in fact you directly bring up the problem of that being worse for services you use extremely infrequently. So if you use it frequently the keylogger gains it anyway, and if you don't use it frequently then what's your usable system again? Also, are not the most important things you want taken the least also the ones that tend to be used the most frequently? And with access to your email and in fact all communication services used on that system you don't see how an attacker wouldn't just be able to "I forgot my password" for many if not most services?

>Reading the current password from memory = keylogger, I'm not worried about that.

You're not worried about your system being rooted? I'd say you have an awfully different set of priorities when it comes to security then most of the world even beyond HN.
> without heavy policing a large city with very high income inequality like NYC would quickly turn into a dystopian shithole

A lack of order is not what I'm 'proposing', but more the factor that 'order' is very obviously skewed towards minorities as shown by various sources you could seek now. One could also discuss how it's based on crime statistics, but that would reach to "systematic oppression" fields: You can't continuously punish random people of a certain race just because statistics say they're 'likely' to commit crime, this is systematic. What you see as a dystopian shithole is already just that for those who can't have their peace without law involvement, and ML tools will not skirt around this, the bias will only transfer and amplify such shit.

> I also believe countermeasures are necessary to prevent Islamic radicalization (and any other kind of radicalization as well).

The department responsible for the spying disbanded and confirmed in 2014 that they hadn't generated a terrorism related case since 2008, as stated in the previous NYT article. You'd frankly figure that after 9/11, American Muslims — Let alone those in New York, would be actively against any kind of 'radicalization' unless you consider simply practicing religion as 'radicalization', which NYPD practically did here.

> Don't try nothing - won't be nothing

I mentally envy the ability to state such a thing, to be honest.
Yes, sorry. Please swap "preimage attack" and "collision" in that entire paragraph: I meant to say there were cases where you don't care about a collision (as demonstrated for SHA-1) but you do care about a preimage (not yet demonstrated, but certainly a risk).
There’s a big difference between someone getting turned on by motorcycles and a two-sided marketplace of sexualized videos of minors.
Banning the public from uploading videos featuring children, or worse, deleting those already there, will be extremely unpopular. And I'm not convinced it's necessary.

For those struggling to keep their VPN app alive on Android Pie, you can disable the "Battery Optimisation" feature on a per-app basis.

The setting lives under Apps & notifications / Special app access / Battery optimisation / <App name e.g. Blokada> / Don't optimise.

I still think this is a battery win because of all the ads I'm not downloading and displaying.
I recently moved to a city with "excellent" bicycle infrastructure. Contrary to what I might have imagined, this seems to make things more dangerous for all. The extra lanes, markings, lights, and signs increase distraction, making it harder to concentrate on what actually matters--people.

In addition, almost no bicyclists actually drive lawfully here. It's typical to see them going the wrong way down streets, blowing stop signs, red lights, and crosswalks. And often when a rather nice bike lane is at hand, they'll choose to ride down the sidewalk instead, endangering pedestrians.

I'm not sure what the answer is, but as a pedestrian, I fear bicyclists more than cars.

The time very much matters. 1-2% per hour is much different than 1-2% per day or per week or whatever.
Actually, what I've read is that modern cars are much better for getting hit as a pedestrian than those 90s small cars. Remember, Europe has very different safety regulations than the US, and manufacturers aren't going to make different cars for both markets, so because of Europe's pedestrian-safety regulations, modern cars are designed to do less damage to pedestrians when they hit them. They look worse because of the big grill (talking about cars here, not big pickups; they don't sell pickups in Europe), but it's all plastic and crumples, and it prevents the pedestrian from being picked up and slammed into the windshield, which is what would happen with that 90s Miata.

It could be argued that the latest Terminator movie was an attempted reboot, since they created several new timelines, of which many completely invalidated the timeline from the original movies.

> Sure, but overdoing it and confusing labels and abstractions with the things they represent can also keep a human from being more aware of the world and their deeds in it.

Sure, abstractions are not the underlying reality, the map is not the territory, and the Tao that can be told is not the true Tao. That doesn't mean that it is necessary to “reject all labels” as a fundamental requirement for inclusiveness, or even that rejecting all labels is useful or even possible given the way human minds work. It certainly means we need to understand that all labels obscure as well as explain, and understand where each is useful and where each is counterproductive.

But that's not what the blog post in question is arguing, or if it is intended to be it is not argued well.

Votes in the parliament aren't directly proportional to population in order to prevent large countries from dominating votes.

At this late stage, that is probably an impossible goal to meet.
Do you exercise? I don't mean go on walks, which people consider exercise for some reason, but things like running long distances/sprinting or go to the gym and lift heavy things on a regular basis. I notice you mention climbing and a trip to Asia but specifics are not mentioned.
If you do not, I would try this before trying a pharmaceutical intervention which should be left as a last ditch effort.

Well, they should've called their fork something other than "SleepyHead". From what I could gather from these threads:

- Maintainer disappeared for a while, people wanted their fixes merged.

- ApneaBoard community made a "1.1.0" release of "SleepyHead" without the author's approval, rather than forking it and calling it something else.

- Maintainer unhappy about them using his trademark without his permission.

At it's core, this is just "whataboutism". Yes, phones have a lot more sensors. Phones also give you some control around what gets recorded when. Even if phones were just as bad, doesn't mean the solution is capitulating completely and putting listening devices all over my house. Quite the opposite actually.

As an aside, this is why I would never use an Android phone. At least Apple, for all their faults, allows me to keep my data on my phone and treats privacy, user consent, and app permissions as serious matters. Meanwhile, Onavo is still available in the Play Store[1].

Edit: It's telling that you didn't respond to my reasons for why this technology is potentially harmful, and instead just reached for "but what about phones?" I would love to hear your argument for why corporate or government abuse of data from always-online, always-listening devices like Alexa and Google Home is not a real concern.

I don't know what you mean by "centralized economy" but centralized markets have their (huge) benefits. Think about how much easier it is to launch a service within all the United States of America at once compared to launching it in all of the countries in the European Union. The language barrier is a huge obstacle, no doubt, but it's far from the only one.

Another way to look at "centralization" is from the point of view of "standardization" for markets and platforms, and that has huge benefits for startups and big companies alike.
I love that you are using an API to receive applications for developers. So awesome!
I have your same criteria. I justify it this way, "We live in an era where the amount of 'pretty good' media being produced outstrips my ability to consume it -- even if I were to dramatically increase my viewing/reading/playing time. Therefore, I try to select only the media that's truly exceptional. Exceptionally good or exceptionally bad."
That works fine in the Pacific Northwest. In the South, after six months, your entire yard will be an impassable jungle filled with mosquitos, cockroaches, rats, etc.

> On the bright side the recommendation engine grouping all these videos means that once YouTube identifies one video as inappropriate they can easily use the recommendations to find and delete all the other videos that are also being viewed by the same pedos.

I've wondered about that musty smell! Always loved it for some reason.
Many of the detectible compounds found in human urine are also in another excretion our body makes: sweat.
It will be interesting to see exactly how this ruling is applied in the field. My guess is that not much will change, as the most problematic and widespread applications of civil forfeiture don’t involve a crime where a monetary fine would be allowed as a penalty. Rather, the police simply steal (they prefer the term “seize,” but it’s just stealing) the money/assets claiming that they suspect it to be the fruit of a crime, then hope the person they stole it from does not have the resources necessary to hire an attorney to recover it. Charges are not filed, and in the majority of cases, the victims never get the money back.

IANAL, but at first glance it seems that such cases would be unaffected by this ruling. No fine is being imposed that could be considered excessive under this ruling - the person is simply failing to claim their property.
I still can't shake the feeling that most of these StyleGAN images are cleverly overfitting and just showing the face of an already existing cat in its training data. (But would love to be proven wrong!)

This is a really, really, really thorny issue.

On the one hand, it seems noble/responsible to suppress anti-vax, Russian influence, conspiracy theories, etc.

On the other hand, for centuries it's been recognized that the best antidote to "bad speech" isn't censorship, it's more speech. Don't ban, convince.

But on the other other hand, that's been exclusively argued in the domain of government action, that government censorship is ultimately worse than what it purports to cure.

In this case, tech firms/platforms like Facebook, YouTube and Pinterest aren't the government or society, they're private actors just like newspapers and members of the free press in general. Just like it could be irresponsible of the NYT to publish letters to the editor supporting anti-vax, you can argue it's equally irresponsible for tech firms to allow the same on their platforms.

Yet on the other other other hand, we're reaching a point where a great deal of discourse is concentrated on a few user-content-driven sites, so censorship on them feels like it's inching closer in spirit to government censorship.

But on the other x 4 hand, mainstream public conversation has always been driven mainly by merely a handful of newspapers and then news programs with their own editorial agendas, so a handful of tech actors exercising their own "responsible" (as self-interpreted) curation and promotion doesn't seem to be anything new.

In the end, free speech has never been an absolute right (e.g. yelling fire in a crowded theater, libel, etc.) and it's ultimately a question of finding the right balance between harms.
That was my understanding, hence my question. I don't understand how such app can affect another app (which is what the parent was complaining about I think).

Also I'm confused as to why my question was downvoted... I'm a dev too who's released a few sandboxed apps (on iOS and macOS) and would like to understand if there is a vulnerability in the sandbox somewhere. Seems like this would be useful to understand for many devs.

As someone proclaiming that "manners are oil for bodies at friction", the ridiculousness of your rudeness is only surpassed by the unbelievable strawman you just set up.

blue1379 brings up some very valid questions. If a snobbish, but highly talented employee builds toolkits/engines that double or triple the production of the average employee, does the same equation used in the study apply?

On the other hand, what constitutes a "non-toxic" employee? Does everybody's buddy who convinces half the team that 2-5pm is ping pong and beer time not disproportionately decrease productivity?

He's asking for more nuance, which is never a bad thing. You seem to be demanding that things stay binary.

The problem with systemd it is not just an init system. Its network-state-aware, device-state-aware container launcher(nspawn), cron, logind and syslog implementation.

The scope creep of systemd is enormous, nobody asked for that when they wanted reliable daemons.

> OK but what does this have to do with the original point? There are plenty of reasons why Apple might want to prevent pirated app stores from being used on their devices: legal, ethical and sure, financial.

That was my whole point: once sold, those phones are no longer Apple's devices. Apple has absolutely no legitimate say in what the new owners choose to do with those phones. Nor does Apple have any legal or ethical exposure to what the new owners do with their phones: that is the owners' liability.

Now, the owners may wish to enter an arrangement with Apple, and Apple may only choose to enter into that arrangement if the owners do certain things or refrain from doing certain things. That's completely fair.

What's not fair is 'selling' someone a device, but retaining ownership of it. That's not a sale; it's a lease.
