Oh well there's a misunderstanding. Conscientiousness is the psychometric term for self-discipline (not 100% the same, but extremely close):

And I didn't bother to point out particular studies validating my claims because much of this has been known to humans for close to a 100 years. In the same vein as linking to a proof of the undecidability of the halting problem would be excess references given the nature of HN community.

If you want an example study look at the "Health and longevity" section on the above linked Wikipedia page.

Psychopathy and sociopathy aren't cut and dry clinical diagnosis. The idea that there are these inherently evil people roaming around out there is incredibly rare and is inflated by popular media.

What people typically refer to is Antisocial Personality Disorder, which varies wildly. Many people with APD aren't criminals, or even "bad" people.

It's rare to the point that I suspect that you could house the number of violent criminals with untreatable Antisocial Personality Disorder in a single prison.

The truth is that rents in Berlin are exceptionally cheap compared to other major cities.

What the article is concerned about is not how current rents in Berlin compare to cities like London or Paris. But how they compare to rents in Berlin just a few years ago. Or that is -- the impact of rising rents on, you know, local people.

The only way to keep rents this low in the face of rising demand is public housing that is rented out below market rates to low income tenants, or via a lottery.

There are multiple strategies available, and no one strategy will be sufficient. That was the main point of the article.

Easy peasy. Then, if I take a grubby payment to fuck over a client (with an NDA, of course) I don't write about it, I just make that one path fail to resolve.

It's writing by omission.

This is why I'm ideologically against these canaries. They paper over a real problem and they expose a new one without really solving the first.

Tech naturally centralizes while politicians naturally push the limits of governmental power to enact their objectives to the furthest degree possible, and these things come into conflict. But some information should not be shared and, at times, we need to allow the government to decide when. Sometimes we need to pushback too. It's not an all or nothing thing, but these canaries are inherently anarchistic and, to me, distasteful.
In vaccines, viruses that are related to the target virus that present similar external structures may be used to train the immune system to target those structures. Immunity to the lesser virus confers immunity to the dangerous one. The specific suggestion was to change the viruses used in the Ebola vaccine, because too many people already had exposure and immunity to Ad-5. This implies that Ad-5 had been used in an earlier iteration of the vaccine. And Ad-5 is one of the adenoviruses that cause obesity.

Cowpox conferred immunity to smallpox--the similarity that led to the invention of vaccination in the first place.

It might be possible that some routine vaccination employs a virus that has always been considered completely harmless, with no visible symptoms beyond a little soreness and nasal sniffle, and that virus actually causes epigenetic changes that impact appetite and satiety, just like Ad-36, Ad-37, and Ad-5. There are about 50 known human adenoviruses, and less than 10 are believed to cause additional obesity. There are also viruses that are mainly pathogenic in other species, which cause no obvious symptoms whatsoever in humans--and in other species that are not the main host species--other than an increase in body fat. There are a lot of viruses out there. Only a small fraction have been studied extensively. Few would care to fund a test for antibodies to a virus that no one is afraid of, and that's what is needed to establish a correlation between exposure and obesity. The only reason adenoviruses were studied for this at all is because the avian virus that caused chickens to die fatter was denied an import license, and the researcher had to find something else that was already endemic.

Sometimes, a virus can be added as an adjuvant. It doesn't even have a direct impact on the targeted dangerous virus, it just makes the vaccine more effective by stirring up the immune system a little.

So it is entirely possible that vaccines that use live viruses that are traditionally considered harmless have never even tried to evaluate whether those viruses have impact on weight gain 10 to 20 years later. Those kids of anti-vaxxers that somehow survive to middle age might just end up with a lower average BMI than their vaccinated peers. It might be the only way we'd ever know. Usually, people who are not vaccinated live in a completely different culture, that would confound all the variables. An American anti-vaxxer living the same lifestyle (aside from the addled parents) as an immunized American would be a more apt comparison. The only other way to test would be to change the composition of the vaccine (an act that has an ethical impact) and wait a few decades to weigh people and caliper their back fat.

I'm unclear as to where you are getting your idea of what is "correct" Catholic social teaching? I was always taught what is "correct" is essentially what the Bible and the Church say.
I'd be wary of this unless you're planning on multiple levels of redundancy. Those old cards (at least the ones I've collected from phones over the years) are just so poor that you can't rely on them for much.

> Prisons as we know them are monuments to the hatred of freedom

I think restricting freedom of movement as punishment is saying that society values law and order (or safety) on equal footing with freedom.

Sure, there are tons of laws that don't make sense and that don't actually make us safer.

But for serious crimes the mechanism of removing your freedom if you remove our safety actually respects freedom as having a lot of value.

And for less serious crimes, you're correct the punishment rarely fits the crime.
You can buy not-from-concentrate 100% orange juice from multiple brands in most American grocery stores. In upscale grocery stores you can often find pressed-on-site orange juice.
Document everything as you explore it. I'm an advocate for literate programming but accept it's not going to be accepted by most organizations. So I use it as a personal tool.

Tools: emacs, org mode, org babel.

Create a parallel directory structure, hypothetical project:

./src
./project/src/main.js
./project/src/some-file.js

Create a new directory structure with one org file per source file and one index org file:

./project-org/src/main.org
./project-org/src/some-file.org
./project-org/index.org

(You can organize it differently, this has worked for me.)

index.org will be a simple tree view of the folder hierarchy:

* Project Name
Description
** Source Files
*** src
**** [file:src/main.org]
**** [file:src/some-file.org]

You may add in some notes about the general purpose of each of those files.

main.org copy the entire code into the main.org file like:

* main.js
#+BEGIN_SRC js
// all the code from main.js
#+END_SRC
* [[file:../index.org][Project Root]]

Start splitting the contents of main.js into separate snippets, I don't know Javascript very well so let me make some quick C example:

* main.c
#+BEGIN_SRC c :noweb yes :tangle yes
<<includes>>
<<structs>>
<<functions>>
#+END_SRC
** includes
#+NAME: includes
#+BEGIN_SRC c
,#include <stdio.h> // [0]
#+END_SRC
** structs
#+NAME: structs
#+BEGIN_SRC c
// structs
#+END_SRC
** functions
#+NAME: functions
#+BEGIN_SRC c :noweb yes
<<some-func>>
<<main>>
#+END_SRC
*** main
#+NAME: functions
#+BEGIN_SRC c
int main (...) {...}
#+END_SRC
*** some_func
This function will initialize a block of memory
to be used as a shared buffer between two processes.
#+NAME: some_func
#+BEGIN_SRC c
void some_func (...) {...}
#+END_SRC

As you go through this you can make cross-references to other files and functions/structures. Eventually you'll find a smallest reasonable unit. A long, but clear, function doesn't need to be dissected. But a short, complex one, may end up with each line broken out and analyzed.

I don't just import a massive code base and do this in one go. Instead I import parts of it and break down all the related files to a particular topic ("How does X happen?"). I trace it from start to end, and then repeat with the next question. Good, modular code makes this much, much easier. The more tightly coupled, the harder it is to understand no matter the method.

Many use cases doesn't require what AWS provides besides storage and compute primitives. If your use case must use Amazon, use Amazon. If not, consider more efficient alternatives.

I'm not sure there's much of a distinction between removing a warrant canary and breaking a gag order. Judges tend to have a low opinion of loop hole technicalities like this that provide the same function.

I'd suspect the legal punishment/risk is the same so at best they're kind of pointless and at worst they might be extra misleading since users may believe the presence of the canary means there wasn't a request when there actually might have been.

Yes, of course I am. My question was rhetorical. It sounds like that person understands that there are serious race issues in the criminal justice system but is willing to overlook them for his own self interest. I think we'd all be better off if we cared a bit more about people who are different from us.

As a father of a daughter, I particularly enjoy snow cones. Non-sequiturs are fun!

When my daughter was born, my mom asked if my views on the death penalty (which I have historically opposed) have changed. When I said no, she asked "if someone hurt her, wouldn't you want them to die?" And I had to think about this, because yes, I probably would. But what I want and what is right aren't necessarily the same thing.

Our entire justice system is fucked, at every possible level. If I put my daughter in the shoes of every victim out there, how would that possibly help me see things more objectively and make things better? You need to think outside your experience.
The difference is that in this case the US considers itself the owner of all data on US and Eu citizens alike.

The EU merely says that you cannot store Eu citizens data without the necessary safeguards in place and permissions asked.

This is a very different issue in my view. The US has an inflated sense of entitlement, whereas the EU is being protective and inhibiting of data collection on its citizens by foreign organisations.
Presumably you'd be fine with Russian too, but by the sound of it you've given up on ever seeing THAT. ;-)

I think it's a non-starter. Markets have always hung on the words of politicians and it would be terrible if a president had to police every word in relation to that. I think the burden of proof would be that one of his tangents was intended to swing the market in his favor, which would be hard to identify unless he had a huge presence in say, agriculture, before signing a massive subsidy to it.
In a sense yes, but for example the doctrine of infallibility is restricted to specific and explicit official pronouncements 'ex cathedra'. It does not mean they believe the pope is incapable of sloppy or imprecise language in ordinary conversation for example.
That is an impressively mad product.
Nope, nothing to do with the Bloomberg story. While we're at it, Bloomberg still hasn't issued a retraction or provided more evidence to support their claims. This is despite the massive number of refutations from the entire industry.
My thinking is the following people:
-> Status symbols, Mobile Phones are the new Cars and mobile stats are the new horsepower, so being able to brag you have a n extra tb of storage over your other colleagues might be a thing. Esp in mobile nations like UK and India

-> Social media is slowly switching to video over still images (greater access to high bandwidth). So people will be taking editing and sharing more video instead of pictures and that increase storage requirements many many times over. I know most people who heavily use social media already find 32gb limiting when what they post most of are images.

-> Gamers, most AAA mobile games require large extra content downloads that are in multiples of gigabytes.

-> Geeks, because 1TB SD cards are quite a technological marvel.

-> Mobile Cinematographers, Laugh now but this will slowly become a thing. Looking at Sony and LG offering more and more bold mobile cinematography devices like the Xperia X1. These phones are able to deliver RAW footage files. Also Nokia's latest five camera flag ship puts out RAW stills that can be 10s of megabytes per image. I see a proliferation on the horizon.

-> Streamers, Mobile networks can be patchy, public wifi sketchy, and corporate internet to restricted so youtube, netflix, and showmax allow people to download movies to watch later. However low amounts of storage capacity currently limit the resolution of of content you can download.

I believe at least two of these use cases will hold true in the near future. But at the current high prices maybe only Geeks will buy them.

Wow, I love that people can wrap express and many of its components and end with something so different from its foundation. That being said, this level of "batteries included" approach has a cost.

In this example, it is the complexity of this file[1] and the fact that if you were to write this as a single express middleware you could probably write it in less than 20 lines.

Guess this is just not my cup of tea?

I assure you that in countries like France, Italy, Spain, etc... this is true but for a small percentage of the population.

It makes no business sense for a company not to localize a website or a service, if your market has a substantial number of non-English speakers.

But yes, for my own convenience (unironically), I wish that every website had a base English version that you could access with a single click.

For example I was looking at some Microsoft webpage with troubleshooting or API information (can't remember). By default it was shown traslated based on my location, but there was a prominent "Read this in English" switch at the top. Top marks.
Top comment gets it right:

That Cloudflare continues to include this clause shows how worthless the other clauses are.

Maybe their warrant canaries have already been violated and that case was their way of telling us?
He was put in two different secure hospitals, but he attempted to murder a patient at both. The prison service and the forensic psychiatry service have thus far been unable to change Bronson's violence and hostage-taking behaviour; solitary confinement thus far appears to be the only reasonable option to protect society from Bronson.

He is an outlier and is in no way representative of the broader prison population, but he does rather puncture the case for abolitionism.
The other side of the argument is frequently discounted and as an IT security person myself I understand that. However, there is a real challenge for companies who deal with large amounts of very sensitive data. To be able to effectively monitor for data loss it makes a lot of sense to be able to monitor the connection points between your protected network and outside networks. The move to all traffic being encrypted and uninspectable breaks this paradigm.

You can cover some of the same concern by implementing an agent on every connected computing device but this brings much greater complexity as you are monitoring potentially hundreds to thousands more places and still have to worry if you have complete coverage.

Consider an analogy of going through international customs. Do you employ customs officials at the border who are allowed to sample and inspect private belongings to verify laws are being followed? Or do you employ an official to help pack the belongings of each individual who you think may eventually cross the border? The second example is a bit stretched but hopefully illustrates the scale problem.
A 15TB 2.5" SSD (MZILT15THMLA) is ~$6000, or $12000 for the 30TB (MZILT30THMLA), both at $400/TB. 10 of these cards are $4500 for 10TB at $450/TB. If you pay that much on storage you'll probably want something that offers you more capacity, performance, and reliability then a multi-microSD setup.
