And what if someone's unable to work?

> Humans are rational creatures

I think this claim needs to be backed up too. There is a lot of evidence indicating that we're incredibly irrational.
Stuxnet only damaged centrifuges, anybody that was hurt would have been because of a freak accident. Triton's whole purpose is to kill people.
All de facto modbus implementations that I am familiar with use virtualized register banks that map to higher level parameter accesses including input validation. So the shenanigans you should be able to do with then are somewhat limited. But there is no authentication at all. This was designed at a time when notion of having a bad actor mess with an control system was not even invented yet.
There's a huge differential in the way the criminal justice system handled black people's drugs (crack), and cocaine (rich man's aspirin). A few rocks of crack got you an arrest with jail time, repeat 3 times, and a fatherless home is created with a new felon in the system. But white professionals who did coke? Slap on the wrist unless they were possessing huge amounts.

I don't think it's a stretch to say that the criminal justice system is biased against the poor, and exceptionally biased against poor minorities. Since Baltimore demographics are heavily represented by minorities, it's no surprise things happening differently there vs Appalachia.
Then that's not an 'exit'. The EU must treat the UK like any other country (say, Canada or Korea), otherwise all the EU countries will exit as they can get better terms than just staying in the EU. CPG Grey has a great explainer on the impossibility that the UK is in:

If you are unaware of the issues with ROI and NI, I'll say that a bit of education is really needed. The history there is very complicated and can't really be boiled down here on HN.

That said, the threat of renewed violence on Ireland is absolutely real and very possible. During The Troubles (lasting ~35 years) there were ~50k casualties in total. The peace is fragile and renewed violence could very possibly result in much higher casualty numbers.

Lives are quite literally on the line.

EDIT: Sometimes pictures are better than words. We can talk about 50k casualties, but seeing some of them is a lot more 'real', at least to me. If you have the inclination, this image gallery does an alright job showing the long and very bloody history of ROI-UK relations during The Troubles: https://allthatsinteresting.com/the-troubles#31
The possible point should be that we just mature as a society and accept that drugs are a part of human life - and that altering brain chemistry can be very useful.

Then we might develop drugs which are safe to use and non-addictive, and provide real productivity gains.

Brave New World as an example.

If all drugs are developed or sold under a veil of criminality, that will never happen. We need to expose them to market forces, litigation, consumer testing and regulation.
Warren Is Correct About Busting Up Big Tech
1. There are countries outside the US (and Europe)

2. Most of these countries came online only in the mobile era

3. Many of these countries have Facebook and broadly, Internet usage that eclipses US and Europe.
You shouldn't presume the U.S. two-party system to be the normal case.

Also as a party you don't need to monitor every precinct. You monitor those where you suspect fraud might happen. Then every voter should be able to monitor the counting process if they desire. Why should they have to rely on parties to do it for them?
I'd like to add Movim to the list :) It's a self-hosted web client for small groups/businesses/schools fully built on XMPP. https://movim.eu/
You still have to verify that the people counting the ballots aren't altering them somehow.

I remember hearing a story in France where it was found that people doing the count had bits of pencil lead tucked under their nails. They would open each ballot, and if it was for the "wrong" candidate, they would discretely mark another name and the ballot would be counted as invalid since it had two names circled. Not sure if it's a true story or not (can't be bothered to check) - but seems like a good illustrations of the problems that are faced.
> I don't understand why you need a machine at all. Counting ballots is trivial to parallelize.

It gives you another check against foolishness. If the computer says there are 5000 ballots missing, someone needs to figure out why.

I don't have a problem with computers being an ALSO. It's when computers are an ONLY that I have issues.

It's so bad this author posts on medium.com. It is really an interesting blog to me.
Suggesting that Prof. Weinstein's protesting of white people also having a venue to participate in a longstanding tradition of a black student walkout is somehow relevant to conversation about biological gender differences is chilling

This is typical of this sort of namecalling and sinister association. A demonstration against racial exclusion which itself uses racial exclusion is obviously problematic. What I've seen time and time again, is that the purpose of such comments is to get as many people to "move along" and not look further. People of good conscience who are passionate about the truth need to look into these things, be forthright, and not be cowed. If tenured professors effectively no longer have freedom of speech, there is something going dramatically wrong in our society.

Similarly, one can investigate the claim that conservative professors and students are unfairly targeted. The numbers there are interesting, but don't tell a convincing story

The fact that tenured professors feel trepidation about speaking out should raise serious concerns in our society. The fact that the mainstream press basically buries this stuff should raise serious concern.

Finally, one need only look towards the career advancements and growing department sizes of evolutionary biology to see that they're actually doing fine.

Bret Weinstein focuses on evolutionary biology.

You shouldn't trust links provided in threads like this, particularly on this website. They're often carefully selected (and I say this in a non-partisan fashion; everyone does it). You're much better off investigating these things organically.

Sure. Please investigate this yourself, past the facade presented to us by the mainstream media. Just investigate with this fact in mind: These events are alarming if you look into them, and they are buried by the mainstream media. This is the most significant meta-level fact, and it's an alarming one to think about.
Using someone else's work and making money on it without contributing anything back (code, funding) is morally wrong.
Hey David from Hackernoon here. I liked Medium too. I just wish they hadn't given up on empowering others to build great sites. The good content from 2 years ago is still there https://hackernoon.com/archive , and I think top stories still has some good reads today https://hackernoon.com/editors-top-tech-stories/home
Some anecdata: I haven’t had performance issues with Firefox on Mac for a very long time. I’ve had more issues with Firefox on Windows than I have on Mac.

As for Chrome, I used to use it a lot, but the privacy concerns and controls it comes with bothered me too much to want to continue to use it on any of my systems.

Firefox containers are also essential to me while browsing the web - I don’t know if Chrome provides anything similar.
Something cultural happened in the 1980s, I think across N.America. From my perspective, Atari and then, Nintendo killed playgrounds. Culture split into urbran, grunge, and pop.

It was weird generation to be in. The Baby Boomers were all settling into their careers (mid-career to retirement). Their children all hitting their teens about the same time 80s/90s. The population was growing older, and quickly. As the two main groups, Boomers, and Gen X, were both transitioning to more mature roles; mid-level managers and teens.

The sense of utopia that younger people could feel in the 50s and 60s was gone. People, as a whole, started to worry about retirement. As people get older they get more conservative.

As the Boomers left school, the money was cut. The new buildings in the 1950s had worn out. Their children now entering school now had their music programs cut, and saw the cracks in the walls.

Everything was just grungy.
Sure, you could make the argument that Iran and {some list of countries, including the US} are in a low-level state of war. The world isn't shedding much of a tear over Iran's nuclear program.

Targeting civilian infrastructure? With potential mass civilian casualties? That's not in the same league.
The people working on fully autonomous driving are unlikely to be of much help for standard driver assistance packages, as they use completely different technology stacks. The approach Tesla is taking, which is definitely driver assist despite their baseless claims to the contrary, is wildly different from the approach Waymo is taking. You can get the sensor suite for a driver assist system for hundreds of dollars. The sensor and compute package for a truly driverless vehicle (of course, a truly driverless vehicle doesn't yet exist and prices will come down with time and scale) cost more than a luxury car itself.

For instance, everybody seems to agree that lidar is the most important sensor for a truly driverless vehicle. And everybody agrees it's too expensive to sell to consumers. They're orthogonal approaches to similar problems with surprisingly little overlap. It's like comparing game development for a 2D sidescroller on the Nintendo Switch with a 3D first person shooter for a gaming PC. They're completely different technologically, even though at the end they're both making games.
> Cameron resigned as PM and was replaced by May.

You missed the part where May called a general election right after sending the official withdrawal notice where she only barely gained a majority giving the Brexit hardliners a lot of additional power. Again based on way too favorable predictions about voters preferences.
If you dig into those youtube channels, you'll find just how damaging the chemical fertilizers have been for our soil biome, how damaging tilling is to the microbiology, how herbicides leave farm soil bare and creating soil compaction and flooding when the inevitable rain is unable to infiltrate the soil fast enough.

I don't see this as being the role of society, to provide a backstop for everyone. Make the difficulty of getting employed and earning an income as easy as possible, and the jobs and work will follow. If people are truly physically unable to work, they should rely on their family, community, religion or charity to provide for them. The welfare state is too costly to maintain and too rife with fraud.

I suspect that the biggest cause of disability is simply obesity. Government has a role to clean up the food supply and agricultural system, not to give handouts to millions of people affected by its dysfunction.
When it was time to regulate quadcopters out of existence, we didn't feel the "scaling with the amount of danger the public is exposed to".
It’s just another walled garden. It just has a low price point.
Just because something has a contrarian view doesn't make its good. What use is a contrarian view if their bar for quality is that low? Something like WSJ makes sense as a counter balance to NYT, not some 3rd tier blog. The desire to see "both sides" causes people to lift up sources that are otherwise ignored for a reason.

This isn't a justification for Facebook blocking them, but we sure don't need them either.
ok, i don't.
> I have repeatedly said in this thread this doesn't apply to diabetics, who do have an insulin pathology. Diabetics do need to worry about insulin, non-diabetics do not.

Point taken :-)

> There is no science that disambiguates between large spikes followed by zero food in take (IF), and small spikes continually at the same calorie levels. Please feel free to send any study you think does.

and

> No, this is only true if you are eating all the time and also eating too many calories. . Again, please send a link to a study you think says otherwise.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4079942/

> Why are you not a fan of the only kind of study that could possibly prove your point?

Because you're on a circadian clock with lots of hormonal regulations that have huge influence on you. Most people won't feel as hungry on a fat-heavy diet as on a low-calorie (mostly low-fat) diet. Long-term adherence to low-calorie diets is just not working out for most people. Yes, calorie-restriction works in basically every living thing to prolong life. No, people will not do it.

> And why hasn't this study ever been successfully completed? Why have studies that attempted to do this been unable to show any difference in outcomes?

There is evidence. Please don't tell me there is conclusive evidence on anything related to nutrition. The second statement is not true, differences have been shown.

> I don't really know what you're implying here, but I suspect you are still getting hamstrung by the prandial window. Yes, insulin can block your ability to access fat in the short term, no it will not in the long term, and it does not do so entirely either. If you are eating the same number of calories and thus constantly releasing insulin you are blocking some, but not all, lipolysis. Lipolysis is not a binary, nor is insulin release. You can have both of them happening at the same time, even though insulin is blocking some of the lipolysis.

Yes, it's not binary, but the easy way to increase lipolysis is to decrease insulin.
Hey guys, this is awesome! To help with SaaS sales agreement for my own company, I started builiding a tool just like yours this past weekend. I am glad I did not invest a lot of time into it :-)
One of the first times I mentioned it on HN, the reaction was basically, "Thank you for showing me this right-wing talking point, now I can counteract it." No curiosity about the history. No valuing of knowledge and truth.

This says a lot about our world today.
Point 3 is by design. An Android icon will appear in the address bar if a native app is available. A tap on it will delegate the current URL to the app.
If the US would treat car safety like airplane safety there would be no SUVs driving out there.
San Francisco uses a lottery for every grade, beginning with pre-K. This causes intense anxiety among many parents. But San Francisco doesn't struggle with the same problems as Baltimore, certainly not to the same degree. In the case of elementary school, other than the chance of not getting the closest school, the anxiety is largely unwarranted, IMO. I'm not looking forward to junior or, especially, high school, though. Unless we end up going the Catholic school route, which is surprisingly cheap--significantly cheaper than daycare.

Anecdote: A parent from our kid's preschool once told me they had a conversation with the principal of one of our neighborhood elementary schools and upon inquiring about the relatively early start time the principal told him, or at least insinuated, that the start time was designed to dissuade cross-town parents from selecting the school, effectively gaming the lottery system to favor neighborhood families.
> their privacy invading browser extension

You know what other add-on can "Access your data for all websites"?

uBlock Origin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin...

Now, back to Newsguard. According to Mozilla [1], that permission is needed for an add-on to read page content. The Newsguard add-on has screenshots that show it popping up alerts for the RT Facebook page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newsguard/#&g...) and some other post in a Facebook news feed (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newsguard/#&g...). I don't see how the extension could provide that functionality without the permission, so giving it access to "all data for all websites" seems reasonable to me.

Insufficient evidence has been presented to make the case that the extension is "privacy invading." Do you have more to support your conclusion, or did you just jump to it?

[1] https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/permission-request-mess...
Right the core problem is you have to use their binaries so Mozilla can't build it and ship their own.
Indeed! The current practice where one has to install obscure software plugin from unknown author to make browser relatively complete is absurd. (download video? change default css? tweaking headers? this should be in the browser, period.) The paranoid would say this lack of basic power-user features is because it makes users compromise their security.

Ah I thought it was extension but from other comments it seems they can just cancel Article 50, my bad. That requirement for a second referendum might be a good thing though, seems like that's the only way out politically (to be forced by an outside force) given how many of the heads party have said a second referendum would tarnish the democratic process (which is BS to me but that's their stance).
Impressive. Never thought the slight lag was an issue.

But bet I now will.

Does the Pixel have some specific hardware that this uses, or is it simply limited to Pixel to limit the rollout? I am curious if I should get my hopes up to see this on gboard with non-Pixel Android devices.
I totally agree that js is used way too much and dependencies are often included without ever considering the consequences.

But Javascript itself isn't bad. Just use it when it makes sense, and minimize it. Remove any dead code so phones won't have to spend cpu and data on it.
Yes, for example sutter health has public pricing on their Primary care services (https://www.sutterhealth.org/for-patients/health-care-costs-...). They treat millions of patients so its a pretty big driver.

Price opaqueness is a big issue, but there is no transparency with so much distortion.
If this is something you care about, you should file an enhancement request, even if you write that it is a duplicate of that issue yourself.

Right now, WKWebView and SFSafariViewController (and the authentication service variant, and Web.app which is used for shortcuts on the home screen) do not have WebRTC support - only MobileSafari.app does.
I think you are right. Rented a new vehicle recently on a trip and it had blind spot detectors - it would tell you when a vehicle was in one of the traditional blind spots. I thought this was great, easy to understand and thus trust.
The paper you site gets equal to SOA performance on Wall Street Journal and LibriSpeech test sets, both of which are clean, read speech, and not at all representative of what a phone or assistant recognizer deals with. The convnet described there also does not perform streaming recognition.

The primary reason to be interested in convnets for speech is computational parallelism, not because they have especially strong results for accuracy.

The problem in osx is not that it's slow, but the ridiculous amount of cpu (and therefore battery) it consumes.

For the people who suffer the bugs ( which seems to be a majority of users that have a retina display, and specifically those who use it set on high resolution) just opening firefox will quickly lead to the macbook's fans spinning at full throttle and battery drain. There are issues opened and development supposedly in progress, but it's been like that for months if not years. At this point I would take whatever could speed up the process...
But NASA cares about delta v most. Although that would make Mars closer. So perhaps closest approach is thought to be what laymen mean by closest.

You may be right, but I hate it. There is no reason I can think of to have all these tools integrated into a web browser, and the idea of having the Internet broken into silos based on your choice of browsers scares me.

I've heard mixed reports on this - the big issue is technical in that you can't implement your own JIT Javascript engine, because only JavaScriptCore (running out-of-process) can write executable pages.

But almost all of that %75 comes from hand outs from someone the user knows and 6.48B indicates that person has a prescription for said pills.
For me, ProtonMail’s inability to support standard clients without an awkward bridge app completely kills it. One of email’s biggest positive points is its client agnostic nature which makes it cheap and dead easy to use anywhere. Being tied to a web client, as ubiquitous as web browsers may be, is a marked downgrade.
What is the purpose of removing Google from the browser, if you do not remove it from all parts of the browser? There only needs to be one automatic communication channel to Google to make such effort worthless.
Although the most commonly definition of genocide applies to race/ethnicity, it can also apply to class or group for instance. On this case, the events being related can indeed be considered a genocide as long as there was intent in effacing that class/group: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_definitions
I would assume a cluster on a single node would partition the data, rather than replicate it. Without an in-depth knowledge of redis, I can't really predict if 4 instances sized for 1GB would have more overhead than 1 instance of 4GB, but I'm willing to hazard a guess that it would be fairly close. On the network side, it's a wash if you're already bound by the interface line rate.
There have been 865 total 737 reports in the ASRS database since 1/1/2018 (linked the results of my search in another comment in this thread). There doesn't appear to be a 737-MAX filter (groups all 737-800s and 737-900s together it seems), so it's tough to say.

In addition, it seems like some pilots were motivated to submit reports on their MAX experiences due to the Lion Air incident.
