Not in any way victim blaming but there is zero requirement to carry ID in the UK (except if you are young and want to get served for alcohol).

They tried to introduce national ID cards a few times and it got voted down each time.

FWIW I have no issue with a national ID card if it's purely that, Identification but the government couldn't leave it at that and wanted to tie the card to everything.

Turning a reasonable idea into a terrible idea.

Given the way they expand everything to compromise peoples privacy I don't trust them not to do it after the fact either so generally I'm on the no to national ID side.

Because I don't trust my government at all.
Yeah, that’s the problem though, isn’t it, as you’re damned either way - either you miss out on time with your son, or you spend the remainder of your weekend anxious about whether you’re going to be tarred, feathered and fired on Monday.

I chose to forgo children as they would have been a distraction from work. Now it’s too late. Ah well.
Regarding mailservers, it’s feasible to run one at home.

But many people rely on spamlists, ie lists of ips known to relay spam. The proble with this is twofold:

1. Some people just took the authority to decide who sends spam and who does not. If you get on one of those lists, usually you have to get in touch and pay to get out.

2. Such people usually include residential ip subnets by default, for no technical reason whatsoever.

So in the end my mailserver at home has been in a spamlist for years, even though i never relayed spam and was very careful to configure outbound relay authentication/authorisation, spf, dkim etc.
People can go without food for a lot longer than they can go without water. 20 days is near the upper end, and not something you should do often, but very much within the normal human limit.

Embarrassing and Damaging” Zuckerberg IMs Confirmed by Zuckerberg (2010)
Sounds like a failure of regulation, if that's indeed correct. I disagree that exploitation and trafficking are necessary or inherent properties of the 'profession.'
Not all annoying and inane calls are spam.

I also don’t want my doctors office to call me to remind me of a reservation I already got reminded by SMS and email, and would have received a fax if they knew I could receive them.

I strongly agree inbound call should have way higher cost for the caller, except for very special cases like emergency services and administrations. I’ll pay to call my family, it’s important enough to me. I’m already paying for support and other service lines anyway.
That's mostly because managers underrate the concept of 'optimization' and how features are interconnected. Once a developer makes a mistake, all other things already working, gets broken. Small changes are not so small after all. They need to be understood as a whole, instead of individual updates.
All kanji were originally Chinese, and still have an original Chinese reading along with Japanese.
With Talos II, you'd get a workstation with only 4 cores at this price. Blackbird board + 8-core CPU bundle is a bit better, but now you're limited by the small form factor.
I don't know. I don't necessarily think it's a bad wish but I also feel that the API has its' downsides. My impression is that it has caused a fair amount of confusion among Java developers because it forces a more complicated understanding of time upon people who in many cases aren't interested in writing applications that deal with describing events accurately across centuries or with multiple time zones.

Personally I find the API confusing and arbitrary. Why include a Year class? Why include both OffsetDateTime and ZonedDateTime? What is the difference between Instant and LocalDateTime for my application that doesn't travel across time zones? Why isn't there an Range class with a start and a stop?

I guess I find "just use UTC" much easier to deal with.
The government has cut police budgets in real terms massively over the last decade or so.

Even if they wanted to current police forces simply lack the resources, they've (the gov) also juggled the crime stats so it looks like crime has stayed steady or declined (hence they can 'justify' the cuts).

The UK is in a complete shambles at the moment.

Years of unnecessary austerity combined with a government determined to privatise everything no matter what the actual (if any) benefit on ideological grounds has left it that way..but we keep voting for them and so we get the government we deserve* (*which we wouldn't have if we could get rid of our stupid first past the post voting system).
Reasonably comfortable in Java though not used it much for the last few years, much more comfortable in C#.

I decided to go the book route because I've found that when learning a new language the book route works better for me since it gives a structured walkthrough of the language rather than a piecemeal one and it's more time efficient.

YMMV but for me you still can't beat a good programming language book.
They don't even indiscriminately sell ads. Making that claim is dumbing down the topic.
This is basically how advertising works. You're using most likely several, free, ad supported websites or apps. Instead of paying for the app you're using, you're compensating the developer with your attention on ads and the developer is then paid based on that. Instead of directly getting money for hearing pitches or being the subject of cold calls, you get to use free services.

A friend went through security twice with a couple of cooking gas canisters forgotten in their backpack. How aren't those the largest red flag of them all?
To join the hypothetical, I'd imagine you can deploy AI/ML to try to avoid your stalker(s). Google Assistant already tells you when to leave for work and which route to take, imagine having it vary the time and the route to avoid stalkers it has noticed from the data it gathered.

But then the stalkers would also have the same system to try to figure out what your digital bodyguard recommended to you.
Can you link that book scanning project? It may be a blog post I read on HN and really liked but subsequently lost the ability to find.
> regulation that makes it illegal to even get/gather/have a huge portion of all the data they amass.

Like gdpr on steroids? I think this would ruin a lot of companies and make a lot of really interesting and useful services no longer possible... but I'm rather curious what it would really mean. I've never seen it proposed by someone who actually recognized what it would mean, though.
London is crazy though. If the most minuscule thing is wrong about your luggage they'll pass it through every security check.
There are addons that restore RSS previews and improve on firefox' old feature.
Shoes is an American thing btw. If you travel within the EU, you never have to take your shoes off.
The beauty of Ruby is that you only need one metaprogramming call to make a DSL in Ruby. Define all your custom methods in a DSL class, then use instance_exec to run the code using the DSL in the context of an instance of that class. The instance can use instance variables to keep track of any state that the DSL requires. Super-elegant.
Not at all, as proven by memory tagging on Solaris/SPARC, iOS and upcoming Android/ARM v8.3.

So leaving memory tagging out of WASM was a deliberate design decision.

There are already better alternatives to write secure code if using C is not a requirement, so again nothing new on WASM other than its hype.

That sounds like suburbia. People who live in high density cities don't really do these things. We just walk downstairs.
AI for the Rest of Us
A good boss is a good boss because they know how to treat people well. They're not going to throw their people under a bus because it is advantageous to their career. Outside of completely disfunctional organisations most bosses can do a lot to insulate their people from their management chain.
What happened is going online resulted in everything being redirected to a BT page saying you're not using our DNS and to change settings so you do. Some googling revealed a few people who'd had the same issue and found the (obscure) page that allowed you to undo the block.

I assume they detected it simply by seeing DNS queries going to non-BT servers. Note this was a few years ago when it was pretty common for PC malware to hijack DNS requests, so could be it's changed in the meantime.

N.B. I also recall BT redirecting requests for non-existent domains to some partner of theirs, I assume experimentally as I haven't seen or heard of that for a while.

For a lot of products being able to touch the thing makes a huge difference.

Most obvious is clothes. In a store you can feel the weight of the fabric, see the color in real life, hold it to your body, or just try it on to find a shirt that really fits you.

Sure, free returns are a thing, but trying more than two or three sizes to find the one that really fits you is a major hassle if you need to send packages back and forth.
That 630m figure is for US domestic flights.

So if you looked at it, where are the assembler listings to compare? Let me see, I want to see too!

If there is nothing to discuss and you plain refuse to do what I told you, why reply? Until you do exactly what I told you, there is nothing to see here. I have zero tolerance for people who won't listen. Move along, move along.
Are you joking? Isn't this entire post saying that he believes that he and his company shouldn't be the ones making these rules? That they should be done via a mix of regulation and trusted third parties?
The CLR was designed to support C and C++ as well, apparently new generations don't have a proper clue what CLR is all about.

Also contrary to WASM, there are real hardware devices actually shipping stripped down versions of it.

And if real time is a concern, then not using a real time OS is already the big first mistake, there is nothing here for WASM to prove, only to catch up with existing battle tested solutions.

For psychology, sadly it’s more that researchers are lurred towards seemingly obvious or seducing results.

And what makes you believe the next video in the series is not equally misleading? Many claims, but zero evidence. A lot of evidence on the contrary from other sources, such as the reports on the website of European Parliament. Or are you suggesting those are made up?

Annual Protest Raises $250K to Cure Krebs
Congratulations, you've just spend your time, and your mobility.
AP also handles everything in hubs. So while you do need to know your subscribes, you don't need to send out 100 notifications for 100 subscribes, you probably only need to send out 10 notifications to 10 servers who will handle the delivery to the recipients.

There is also AP relays which could further reduce the overhead if you simply deliver the content to the relay.
It takes a certain amount of self-respect to raise the middle finger to unreasonably-timed work requests, and it says a lot about modern work culture that a lot of people have been cowed into thinking they have no options.
Cold me old fashioned but I miss the days of the declaration of independence of cyberspace.
Its quite common with prisoners on hunger strikes. Apparently the feeling of hunger stops after a few days. Have to mention that you should be rather careful with that, the long hunger strikes where people died after month were with a forced feeding tube. With 20 days of total starvation you are already up there.

In the West many of those with the hikikomori traits are medicated under anxiety and depression. Japan does not have the same mental health processes we have here.
I like how Zuckerberg insists on blaming all his problems on Russia, white nationalists and all these memes and not addressing the real issues of his company because he knows he can exploit the MSM due to its liberal/left tendencies for a long time. Facebook is a spamming website pretending to be a social network. Everybody can tell the difference of Facebook now and pre-2014 before he deliberately changed the feed algorithm to become the biggest spam website of all time in order to make money. Is the low interaction rate on Facebook now compared to 5 years ago due to Russia? Is hiding posts from pages people like and subscribe is due to Russia? Is extorting pages to pay to promote posts to get 1/10 of the organic reach (mind you this is the organic reach of people who like and subscribe to your page, they can't even see your posts on their feed anymore) of what they got for free 5 years ago is due to Russia?

How about reverting all these changes and going back to simple feed as in 2000s and early 2010s Mr. Zuckerberg? oh yes you won't because the entire business plan of your company is to sell users data to advertisers and make users stay in your services as long as possible to view and click on these ads.

Fascinating Debug Report About a Scary Hidden Backdoor in Intel Processors
Well, due to these decisions D seems to have become a (quite unpopular) "middle ground" / "centrist" language:

- people who want something more dead-simple / no-magic go for Go

- people who want the full combo of "max performance" + "performance-wise-free abstraction" + "extra safety" go for Rust

And conservatives stick to C++. Hence D didn't get very popular. I think it's a programmer psychology issue: people just don't like "middle ground languages" they want to clearly be in one extreme and accept its tradeoffs.

(There's Swift as a counter-example currently growing outside of iOS-dev towards ML, but I guess it's more like it being "like Go but with operator overloading and some macro-like infra features that ML people want & need"...)
>Having a unified identity guarantees that people are held accountable for what they say, it reduces fraud, trolling, and it means people have 'skin in the game' when participating in a social environment, it's the basis for trust.

No, it doesn't. People are perfectly willing to troll under their real name. When Youtube forced people's G+ accounts to merge into their comments and people suddenly found themselves commenting under their real names, it stopped the trolling and hate... for like a week.

Hell, plenty of people on Usenet were assholes with their real names and emails in their signatures.
Could you imagine how much they’d add to the safety video for shoes-on flights?

Probably a 9 minute video that hijacks your IFE about which button to press if you see a shoe bomber.
I do. Computers for most people are tools to perform final work faster, not a purpose unto itself which is all about programmer's convenience. A programmer's job is to be as uncomfortable and to suffer as much as possible so that the users could suffer as little as possible or not at all. This "developer convenience" attitude should be reproached or even financially penalized, so that such prima donnas finally come down to earth and start taking responsibility for their (shitty) software.

Mods, any reason the original title “Mark Zuckerberg asks governments to help control internet content” shouldn’t be used?

The alternative used here seems clickbaity.
If something is not allowed, it should go through courts if government is involved.

Free speech is not freedom from consequences, but pre-censorship is against liberal values.
Neither is WASM that allows for internal corruption due to lack of memory tagging.
>The US never EVER helped Saudi to spy on a journalist...

Israel didn't help them either, it just didn't stop an Israeli company from selling certain products to the Saudis.
Do you think the US is stopping all companies from doing business with the Saudis, or even just stopping them from selling tools that can be used by the regime against the public?

because they aren't, they are however supposedly doing that with Iran and to a certain extent, with Russia, so it's not like it's something they can't do, it's just that they choose not to.
You've nailed the problem. Too many layers in the application stack are tampering with time. As the author of the application I now have to understand every layer and all their nuances. All the good intentions of the database authors, driver authors and library authors are making it worse. Just leave my time alone and let me deal with it in the application.
With 8.8.8.8 Google sees all requests, which is probably the reason for its existence. How can an ISP not see what you are doing anyway? traceroute $addr obviously always includes ISP servers.

Unless you use a VPN, but that is a different story.
Blaming is kind of defence mechanism to admit a truth about yourself.
> Also note the timing. This op-ed comes literally one day after Facebook made headlines for "mistakenly deleting" a bunch of Zuckerberg's early posts

Under what circumstances is a company evil for not allowing a user to delete posts? and under what circumstances are they evil for the reverse?
Ask HN: Move to Puerto Rico and Pay No Federal Income Tax?
A friend told me you pay no federal personal income tax if you are a resident of Puerto Rico. Upon Googling it, it seems to be true. If I have an upcoming IPO windfall, what is the downside of moving to Puerto Rico for a year to sell while a resident there? It all seems too good to be true.
Those ten MPs are basically saying "Sorry guys, I know I'm highly paid for this job, but I'm so incompetent at it that I can't even keep track of the bill numbers when I'm pressing the button. I was just too busy watching bikini girls on my phone. We are cool, right? Vote for me next time".

I mean siriously, put this job in relation to any other job with the same salary (including all benefits) and see if those people should have the capability and skills to read the bill, remember the number, and react correctly when the number is called even if that happens at a fast pace. If they can't do that, then they shouldn't be sitting there.
Facebook Lobby reaches quorum on desired regulation.
Cambridge Analytica is ironically totally not a refutation - it was never bought or stolen but abused their shoddy permissions. Against security illiterate users they could get the same thing with just 'login through this for a chance to win a free iPad'.
But what is common for you will usually be cached already in your own server as well, so most requests will still be cache hits--and all those hits avoid the ~ 20 to 100 ms round trip to the internet.

Take news.ycombinator.com, for example: The A record has a TTL of 300 seconds. So, after the first visit, which probably will take a bit longer than asking Google/CF, for every request in the next five minutes, you will have a reduced lookup latency.

Then, after five minutes, the next lookup will go out to the authoritative server. But mind you that the NS records for ycombinator.com have a TTL of two days, so those are still cached, and the refresh is indeed a single request to the authoritative server--which more often than not takes about as long as a cache hit from the recursive Google/CF resolvers (it's also one round trip to the internet ...).

And then, there is stuff like BIND's prefetch mechanism which will start the refresh of an expiring record when it sees a query for that record shortly before its expiry: That query is answered immediately from the cache, and a refresh is started in the background, so that the refreshed record should arrive in the cache before the old version expires ... thus completely eliminating the lookup latency for often-used records. Though you might need to tune it to trigger earlier for your personal use than in the default configuration ...

Uh, I grew up with no homework, or very little of it.

Also, why can't we in the US learn from other cultures? One of the Scandinavian countries, with the highest happiness factor, doesn't have homework at all. They have schoolwork, done at school. Home is for fun and socialization and other things. It's too late for my son (a senior in HS), but I longed for that.
