> As a parent you should be able to share to a private FB, a private IG, a private YT account. That's fine, because you presumably have control over who sees those photos (hopefully people you actually know).

I'm afraid not a lot of parents/people would be willing to pay for such service, so I'm unsure this is going to happen any time soon.
The Fold is $2,000, so I highly doubt it'll cannibalize the sales of the S10.
For what it's worth, there is some degree of password protection: the OnionShare links include a slug that must be included in order for files to be shared. Quoting the article,

> By default, OnionShare addresses look http://[tor-address].onion/[slug], where the slug is two random words out of a list of words 7,776 words (technically, this is a 2-word diceware passphrase).

> The idea is that if an attacker could figure out the tor-address part of the address, they still can't download the files you're sharing, or upload files to your computer, without first knowing the slug. The slug is, essentially, a password.
Serum levels could mean your body has more DHA than it needs, without an established level at which some kind of deficiency develops.

I’m not trying to prove a point except this: People who have no regard to dietary DHA and consume no fish don’t exhibit any of the problems claimed in articles and by nutritionists. I’ve been vegan for 20 years for example and my skin is fine, I don’t supplement DHA, I don’t have dementia or other health problems.

This contrasts pretty strongly with homocysteine/B12 deficiency or iron deficiency. There’s no good evidence that a clinical syndrome of DHA deficiency even exists. Whenever I dig into studies serum levels are all over the place.

There’s quite a lot to be suspect of here. The conclusions drawn from our limited understanding of fatty acid
metabolism just doesn’t match reality.

You keep confusing the terms. You say "privilege to vote" in one sentence and "right to vote" in another. Constitution sees due process as a right of "persons", and ability to vote as a "right of citizens".
Yes. I’d much rather read comments with a high number of votes and net zero score than the two other extremes.
Because your right to vote ultimately affects all those other rights. With enough people voting for such, protection for rights can be repealed, or even ignored outright.

But I think that would lead to people preferring vote manipulation. If I agree with a title but I see it close to 50% upvotes/downvoted, I’m more prone to upvote it. Whereas I’m reality I might not upvote it anyways.
You're missing his point. A doctor can treat you every time your father breaks your arm but the problem you have doesn't lie with your body or your brain. Yet the first line approach to mental health is treating the patients as the problem, assuming their brains are malufunctioning, and giving them behavioral therapy and drugs. If your depressed because your father keeps breaking your arm no amount of ssris and therapy will fix that...

I'm not saying the mental health field doesn't take into account external factors. It does especially psychology. I still think psychology overestimates how sick people are and underestimates how sick society is.
Speaking as someone who's never owned a tablet, but always buys iPhone+ sized phones (6+,7+), I'm exited for this (and maybe Apple's iteration of this?) in the coming years. I am the type to even hate turning my phone sideways (because it's always on rotation lock) so being able to physically open a thing would probably reduce the barrier to entry of enjoying of my phone / all-in-one device.

Honestly, as a first publicly available iteration it's pretty sleek. I'm excited for the future all over again as this becomes mainstream.

> I believe YouTube need to implement a system of age verification for content creators. 16+ minimum if you ask me. If the parents do the uploading, whelp, you found your issue (if any arise)

I strongly oppose this nonsense. Should I have insert my "age verification identifier" or "drink from the verification can" every time I want to do something on the Internet to prove I am of legal age? If you can't control your kids, you shouldn't have kids. Most children under sixteen have legal guardians. If you are a legal guardian, you are responsible for your children. People get up in arms when we say it takes a village to raise a child but then they turn around and make these absurd demands. You can't have it both ways!

It's interesting that you need at least 501 karma to be able to downvote comments and posts, but only 31 to flag submissions. Kind of surprising considering that they say a flag is essentially a "super" downvote.
Thanks for the response Kevin, great advice. I really enjoyed your post!
I hope to be as impressive a developer as you one day.
To crudely rifle a barrel you just need a press. Or you can make a machine like this: https://www.alloutdoor.com/2017/04/17/watch-homemade-barrel-.... I once saw a video of a machine which did not require any machine tools, you'd just make a guide and then manually cut the riflings. All you need there is a lot of patience.

For these designs you also do not need 3d printing at all. You just need suitable pipes, or sheets of metal that you bend and either weld or use fasteners to make the receiver. You are right though, designing and building reliable magazines is probably going to be one of the things that require a lot of attention to details.

There are books that have full blueprints for crude SMGs, here is an example:

This is cool. Congrats on getting it out there.

The one thing I'm most concerned about when putting 3rd party comments on a web site is whether it is easy to comment. Like, do they have to sign up for something? Remember another password? Can they just automatically post if they already have an account elsewhere? (the big advantage of facebook comments)

How does that work at Commento? Do you have any thoughts on allowing sites that already have user accounts to somehow use those directly?
Too bad it doesn't exist.

I have the same taste in movies as you (awful B-grade or cinematic masterpiece, nothing in between), but I have the exact opposite conclusion regarding movies as an art form being "dead".

Just like with music, the technical barriers to entry to make a film or a song are much lower than before, and the market is very saturated as a result. The issue is no longer "is there enough content that I would enjoy" but rather "how the heck to do I make a choice what to watch?".

OTOH, the fold will get a lot of media attention that will mention the s10 in an aside. The s10 by itself is boring enough that most mainstream media wouldn't mention it. Halo products are often a good strategy.
Well you don't get to see other people's comment scores anyway. What I meant is for your own comments, seeing a score of +1 doesn't carry the same information than +15/-14.
How Do You Get the Woman You Love Back
More generally, I believe that by the time a cases nears the level of the Supreme Court, legal fees typically become less of an issue in practice. There are many orgs on bath sidee that fund cases with important precedent, and plenty of great lawyers willing to argue for free since it's so prestigious.
I think the parent commenter's mention of "daily use" implies things like grit. Hopefully their flexing machine also showers the phone with pocket lint.
there are only two truly valuable and scarce commodities in this universe: time and the rule of law.

I'm just pointing out that you are engaging in special pleading[0] here. I've seen pornographic videos that did not have explicit language prior to the sexual acts taking place. In fact most of them are like that during the brief interludes of plot that justify the sex.

Let me put it this was if I was an evil person and my goal was to create a legal facsimile of child pornography I don't know that I could do better than this video did at that stated goal. Perhaps legally it doesn't cross a line but can you honestly say that you'd leave your daughter in the care of the person who made this video to do the same?

From the article:

> Amanda Melin of the University of Calgary recently showed that lions and hyenas can’t even make out the stripes unless they get very close.
> If you don't raise enough, and need more funding later, doing a down round is extremely painful.

I hear this a lot, but I don't quite understand the sentiment. It's painful for whom? The earlier investor, sure, but not the founders.

Scenario 1: I have a round of funding at $1MM valuation then later a round of funding at a $10MM valuation.

Scenario 2: I have a round of funding at $100MM valuation then later a round of funding at a $10MM valuation.

Scenario 2 has a down round, but it's unclear to me how anyone in this scenario is worse off besides the suckers who bought in at a too high valuation. They just overpaid; that's all. The business and the other shareholders are strictly better off because they were able to get more cash for the shares sold.

Cassidy spends plenty of time stating that regulations are often bad for markets, and he spells out clearly which types of markets need to be regulated: specifically markets with negative spillovers, mono/oligopolies, and the financial industry because of its unique ability to impact money supply.

He goes to GREAT lengths to talk about all of the potential pitfalls and problems with placing regulations on these industries. And he even gives many examples of times in the past where things did and did not work.

Sure, you can get a positive outcome from the wrong approach. But examples are probably the best thing we can look to...
> I'd like to see some simple one-time-use password option.

I also agree with this. But I think the "delete once files are downloaded" kinda fulfills this. It does become insecure if someone else accesses it first, but then you know that someone else downloaded the data, right?

For the multiple sharing I think a password would be a really nice feature. You could have that done on the user side, but a good password implementation would be awesome.
You seem to have misread his comment. He predicted downvotes on the original submission, not his own comment.

He was wrong, but only because you have to click the link and read the full list to see the excerpt he quoted, when most people only read titles and comments.
Probably because what constitutes excessive is going to be a fairly arbitrary and subjective amount at any point in time and depending on the person in the case. I don't think that's what's really the meat of the argument. The 8th amendment not applying to states however is a huge deal as its a pretty clear violation of the 14th amendment and its broader intentions.

"Privilege" in Intersectionality seems to have all of the same semantics as "original sin" in traditional religions. However, it's most particularly similar to certain toxic fundamentalist religious formulations of inherited guilt, in that the concept is explicitly tied to race and ethnicity.

Why do you have to collect coins just to change Mario's shirt?
I don't think it's an "esoteric" attack, it's just that the cost-benefit of locking things down a tiny bit more isn't significant. We're always one browser exploit away from malware that can do whatever it wants.

Ok, so say the malware couldn't access all your passwords immediately. It's just going to sit on your computer and collect them (and existing sessions) as you use them, or force you to re-auth and then collect them. And if it's highly prized info, the malware will eventually get updated with a privesc to go around the user context. This is what malware has been doing for years, and nobody notices until exfiltrated passwords start getting used.

Game 3 of the NBA Finals in 2008 was pretty darn obvious. Anyone who watched that game had to have known that the game was fixed.

http://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=3436401

“The Lakers attempted 40 free throws to the Kings' 25 in that game, and Los Angeles made 21 of 27 from the line while Sacramento converted 7 of 9 in the fourth quarter alone.

In addition, a foul was called against Mike Bibby of the Kings after he was shoved and elbowed by Kobe Bryant, denying the Kings an opportunity to try for a tying basket. Also in that game, Kings centers Vlade Divac and Scot Pollard fouled out, and Kings coach Rick Adelman was highly critical of the officiating afterward.”

It’s actually worse than that. Bryant drove into Bibby, committing an obvious offensive foul with an elbow to the nose which gave Bibby a nosebleed. Bibby was called for a personal foul for his nose fouling Kobe in the elbow.
You have far more faith in the system than I do and especially that the police wouldn't deny the existence of evidence that you said what you say you said if it suited them. Things are conveniently lost, misfiled or "never existed" in the first place.. They withold your statement from discovery. You claim they have a written report of your statement and knowingly withheld it. They claim they don't have it, have never had one, and it's nowhere to be found. Now what?
StackOverflow does this well. They allow you to click the sum total of votes to see the breakdown of upvotes versus downvotes.
It almost passed in Georgia because our legislators are idiots. They also almost passed a law criminalizing security research altogether.

The problem with allowing open season is that unlike the wild west, outlaws did not literally hijack the bodies of victims to masquerade as someone else before engaging in criminal activity. The "hacker" you're attacking is usually another victim of the operator serving as a proxy. Attribution in the cybersecurity space is very difficult and prone to error. You'd just be institutionalizing lynch mobs.

This is no more "security through obscurity" than say Amazon S3 signed URLs or SSH keys. They are long enough that your odds of guessing it correctly are way small. Is it possible? Sure, but so would be guessing somebody's SSH private key.

This is why I suspect they emphasized sending the URL through a secure medium (since you are basically sharing a password):

> So long as you share the unguessable web address in a secure way (like pasting it in an encrypted messaging app), no one but you and the person you're sharing with can access your files.

And also why they feel comfortable describing the web address as "unguessable"

> I'd like to see some simple one-time-use password option.

That sounds like a nice feature, although I wonder how practical it would be. I often have to refresh web pages in Tor due to timeouts and stuff. If you burned your one time password and the connection timed out, you're SOL without the person running the server issuing you a new one. A good idea tho for people willing to make that usability tradeoff.

Oops, you missed out the best bit from your quote: "(Unfortunately)" ;) - I was going to post a comment about how precious this is, but looks like you got here first on this subject, so I'm going to add a reply instead.

The fact that people here will generally flag this shit to death is good. This is a sign of maturity. The community has realised that discussions here on these topics are reliably unproductive, and will therefore kill them on sight.

"But what if this means killing the productive discussions here on this topic?" - well, it's a calculated risk...

I would probably argue that it didn't show us that at all.
The ranking algorithm also isn't some simple votes/time metric. The flame war detector for posts is an example that is mentioned, but there are also some undocumented complexities on the comment side too.

An obvious one is brand new comments get a huge boost in the rankings compared to older comments. It is pretty common to see a few minute old comment at the top of a lot of comment threads. It also seems user reputation is a factor in this. A user with a good average karma score (a metric that used to be displayed publicly but is now hidden) seems to have their comments stay near the top longer than other users.
Based on that use case, you would probably be better of using a product like Google Photos instead of Youtube, since the latter is more for publicly broadcasting. Just my 2 cents.

The uniformity argument becomes rather silly when applied to other constructs.

Would you ditch switch-cases in favor of if-else chains (leaving aside fallthrough/Duff's/etc for a moment) because the latter is uniform with existing constructs? Would you ditch "for (int i = 0; ..." in favor of "int i; for (i = 0; ..."?
