Well, that kind of already happened at least during WWII when e.g. documents had to be burned in city halls to avoid that they would fall into the German's hands, e.g.:

On 27 March 1943, a cell of the Dutch resistance committed an attack on the municipal register of Amsterdam. The German occupier had found this register to be extremely convenient: it contained the details of 70.000 Jews in Amsterdam. Also, it proved useful as a means of cross-checking information on identity cards.

But apparently people have forgotten this or did not abstract/expand such events to apply them to current tech (but I was reminded about this by my father, who is german [now some DB will store that zepearl's father is german, damn...], when I was having a discussion about Facebook with him many years ago).

The Yugoslavian (ethnical) conflict was too early from a technological point of view, but more recently, for Erdogan (Turkey) having access to a local company (DB) that tracked preferences/relationships/commentaries of a majority of its population would have been pure gold to identify people against him, puah.

What do you mean? Sure, currently personal data is being used without much control by the person. But the GP is not proposing more control, they're saying people should still not have choice, as that may harm the marginalized.
Let me put things into perspective for you. Cops raided the wrong house (battering ram and everything) which happened to be where I lived. They ripped up floor boards and broken holes in the wall -- they found $300 worth of personal weed. So they confiscated everything I own because it could possibly be related to drug money. I'm also incarcerated without the ability to post bail (because cops just took everything). I wasn't granted personal recognizance bond, it was $50,000 -- my family takes this as a sign that I must be guilty of whatever they say so I have no access to money for bail or for a lawyer. So I did my own case work while I sat in jail for 3 months, got a different judge to finally give me a personal recognizance bond, pick apart the prosecutor and detective at later hearings/motions, and finally leading up to the day before a jury trial (for two felony charges). I was offered a better plea and took it -- everything leading up to this point was so fucking asinine that despite all the headway I made I could not trust I would not spend years in prison. Its quite clear they did not want to look like idiots after getting a warrant and executing it in force based entirely on some 17 year old kid told them while being interrogated himself.

I'm only a criminal to someone like you.

Udi Manber's book on algorithms and induction is also a great resource to learn about invariants. Invariants and induction go hand in hand.
Did you break your addiction, or just never develop one?
Yes but you have to be sure also that nothing at all remains in the cache...
Loop variants for popular problems and popular algorithms to solve problems. This can give us inductive way of looking various problems. And classify problems/algos based on invariants.
This analysis sounds very plausible (all emphasis marks mine):

https://leehamnews.com/2019/04/03/et302-used-the-cut-out-swi...

"the high speeds observed in ET302’s FlightRadar24 trace (Figure 1) were logical. It’s a consequence of following the Emergency checklist for “IAS disagree” (IAS is Indicated Airspeed, i.e. the dynamic air pressure experienced by the aircraft) after takeoff.

The combination of the preceding checklist followed by an MCAS Trim Runaway checklist could create a situation where manual trimming after a Trim Cut-Out would be difficult to impossible and would require non-checklist actions."

"At a miss-trimmed Stabilator, you either have to re-engage Electric trim or off-load the Stabilator jackscrew by stick forward, creating a nose-down bunt maneuver, followed by trim.

Stick forward to trim was not an option for ET302, they were at 1,000ft above ground. According to The Wall Street Journal, the ET302 crew re-engaged electrical trim to save the situation, to get the nose up. It was their only chance. But too late. The aggressive MCAS kicked in and worsened the situation before they could counter it."

The Airport elevation of Addis Ababa airport is 7625 feet AMSL. The highest point of the flight recorded by the flightradar24 is 8600 ft AMSL which gives the plane's altitude of around only 1000 ft at highest! The speeds relative to the ground recorded near the end were 380 kt, i.e. 640 ft/s. Obviously every second mattered, and at the above speeds, the plane was only a few seconds from crash away when the MCAS was pointing the nose down.
As a side note, if these influencers exist (and the actually largely followed ones seem to make a lot of real money, besides the free stuff they are offered) it means that there are huge numbers of influenced, and that presumably these people - one way or the other - actually "pay the bill".

Otherwise all firms/hotels/restaurants/whatever that actually - unlike Mr. Casaccia - accept the "begging" are not capable of evaluating properly the increase in revenue that the influencers allegedly cause.

Both the possibilities (huge numbers of gullible people or huge numbers of clueless managers) seem to me like not good news.

This came up recently in a different HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19118740

The main gist is that GitHub doesn't require proof of ownership in order to set a custom domain.

This means that if your GitHub Pages configurations are incorrect for any reason (for example, that user switched from a Pro to a regular account and lost the ability to have a GH page on a private repo), another user can come along and claim your page (confidencetoexplore.com) as the custom domain for that repo.

My bet would be that this happened to you. As another user in that thread mentioned, report them: https://github.com/contact/report-abuse
I backed this. Visual data should be edited visually.
OK, makes sense. You're still being sorta oddly pedantic about this. sRGB was for sure designed to reflect a phosphor set based on red, green, and blue primaries that absolutely were chosen for their correspondence to what most people reason about as primary colors, and the reason for that is that we have three cone pigments in our retina and those three tickle them more or less orthogonally.

So I don't get your criticism. Poster above wanted a set of primaries that corresponds to how the cones react. The closest you can get to that is an RGB space like... sRGB.

Arguing about which design point (phosphor correspondence or cone correspondence) is "real" or "derived" is IMHO meaningless pedantry at this level.

Agree - could you release an Alpha version via Kickstarter? I'd pay (say) 50 SEK for alpha access to play with it for a couple of months, and (if wanted) give feedback on bugs.

You could always end alpha access at a given point (set date or once the beta release is out) and/or offer upgrades to the full package at a slight discount.

No downside, apart from a little more complication for you, and you'd maybe get a bit of money even sooner...
Why Is Emergence Significant? [video]
It's useful to distinguish between advertisements and adtech:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17972297

http://blogs.harvard.edu/doc/2018/05/12/gdpr/

> Advertising isn’t personal, and doesn’t have to be. In fact, knowing it’s not personal is an advantage for advertisers. Consumers don’t wonder what the hell an ad is doing where it is, who put it there, or why.

> Advertising makes brands. Nearly all the brands you know were burned into your brain by advertising. In fact the term branding was borrowed by advertising from the cattle business. (Specifically by Procter and Gamble in the early 1930s.)

> Advertising carries an economic signal. Meaning that it shows a company can afford to advertise. Tracking-based advertising can’t do that. (For more on this, read Don Marti, starting here.)

> Advertising sponsors media, and those paid by media. All the big pro sports salaries are paid by advertising that sponsors game broadcasts. For lack of sponsorship, media—especially publishers—are hurting. @WaltMossberg learned why on a conference stage when an ad agency guy said the agency’s ads wouldn’t sponsor Walt’s new publication, recode. Walt: “I asked him if that meant he’d be placing ads on our fledgling site. He said yes, he’d do that for a little while. And then, after the cookies he placed on Recode helped him to track our desirable audience around the web, his agency would begin removing the ads and placing them on cheaper sites our readers also happened to visit. In other words, our quality journalism was, to him, nothing more than a lead generator for target-rich readers, and would ultimately benefit sites that might care less about quality.” With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Versus the top four things he says about adtech:

> Adtech is built to undermine the brand value of all the media it uses, because it cares about eyeballs more than media, and it causes negative associations with brands. Consider this: perhaps a $trillion or more has been spent on adtech, and not one brand known to the world has been made by it. (Bob Hoffman, aka the Ad Contrarian, is required reading on this.)

> Adtech wants to be personal. That’s why it’s tracking-based. Though its enthusiasts call it “interest-based,” “relevant” and other harmless-sounding euphemisms, it relies on tracking people. In fact it can’t exist without tracking people. (Note: while all adtech is programmatic, not all programmatic advertising is adtech. In other words, programmatic advertising doesn’t have to be based on tracking people. Same goes for interactive. Programmatic and interactive advertising will both survive the adtech crash.) Adtech spies on people and violates their privacy. By design. Never mind that you and your browser or app are anonymized. The ads are still for your eyeballs, and correlations can be made.

> Adtech is full of fraud and a vector for malware. @ACFou is required reading on this.

> Adtech incentivizes publications to prioritize “content generation” over journalism.
To sum (haha) up, I am no n00b.

However, I've looked over the page a couple times and still can't figure out the use of this, let alone what "superpowers" it may grant. It's just comments? The best parts I can see are the mostly-prose ones farther down that just say what the loop's supposed to do, but even those are just repeating the "input" and "output" info, really, which are sort of also comments I think. Some of this might be useful if you could express it in types or some other machine-checkable fashion, but in comments they're just kind of redundant and, like any comments, must be treated with suspicion anyway.

What am I missing? I just have no idea what I'm looking at here, or rather I think I do but I'm entirely missing why it should be in any sense exciting which leads me to think maybe I don't.
you were either burned really hard by metaprogramming gone wrong or you've actually never seen it done properly.

there is a school of thought that says in some cases you should not shoehorn the problem you are trying to solve into <insert your favorite programming language in here>. In cases like that having a DSL (which does stand for Domain Specific Language) is worth its weight in gold. Focusing on expressing the problem in it's own domain language is beautiful. Ruby just happens to be awesome at building DSLs.

to your point about "elegant" messes: you can create a mess whatever tool/language you want. the language is not there as guardrails. I agree with you that less is more and in most cases you don't need some of the uberpowerful features, but when you do, the way you solve the problem is absolutely beautiful.
IMHO, Ruby code is the closest to code poetry that you can get with a vanilla/for the masses programming language.

ArpaNet was started in around 1969; it was only really good for email, and few people had a computer anyway so it wasn't very useful for them.

NSFNet started in 1985 and with it the US could finally transfer Megabits of internet every second! By that point more people had computers but they weren't on them enough for things like e-commerce to make any sense at all.

It took until 1991 for the Web to be invented, and arguably in 2000 the web had still failed to really find it's niche.

--

I make no claims as to whether crypto will have as much of an impact as the Internet had, I suspect it will impact only a few domains. However, we're still decidedly in the ArpaNet phase. Bitcoin can only process ~5 txns/second, Ethereum can only process ~13/sec. This isn't good for anything at all! I'd argue the nanopayment use-case hasn't been explored at all, because there's still no good way for me to spin up a server and accept nanopayments with it. Bitcoin transaction fees just spiked to ~$1, ETH transactions currently cost 15 cents.

You're looking at a steam engine the size of a building and telling me it'll never fit onto a train. And you're right! It took something like a hundred years for them to be compact and strong enough to power any vehicles.

A lot of people with a lot of money are working on newer designs which can process a lot more transactions for a lot cheaper, it's only once those cryptocurrencies have been built that the experimentation can really begin.

> I’m extremely rarely in a situation where the official documentation isn’t monumentally better than every other option.

Man, opposite experience here. I will cheerfully admit to being way less smart than most HN users, but I find that official documentation almost always lacks egregiously in example code, and also in overview material that gives me a 30,000’ view of the product. So often documentation seems assume that I’m already familiar with the product, when sometimes I’m dropped in for some external reason and just want to get a job done without being an expert.

Nice examples, yes.

I hope I didn't come across as someone from the if-you-don't-have-anything-to-hide crowd.

I do think your conclusion is a bit quick, though.

> Yes, in the real world data has owners

Things happen in the real world, and people perceive and know it as a consequence. We came to call some of that data (if recorded with machines I guess).

We wouldn't think of perceptions in terms of ownership. It just wouldn't work. We don't have a response for intrusion, e.g. If someone catches us in the act, there's just no protocol. We often just pretend it didn't happen, and are embarrassed. You can't unsee it, or punish someone for seeing something private.

We can throw them out of our house, if they trespass. But if they see you through the window, what do we do?

My point earlier was only: ownership as an analogy for data is not as helpful as some think it is.

But if you stick with ownership, you possibly end with making very strict rules around personally identifiable information (PIN), like in Europe. Some of that ends in log files, like IPs. I think that is a bit like walking by and peeking into a shop window. The shop owner might see you too (perception). Why is that the shoppers protected information? I think it's rigid and comes from off analogies. That's not to say some data doesn't need to be private.

In the end, when this cultural development is further along the way, we might have very specific rules. Like with books, and movies, which have fair-use rules etc.

I don't think learning something necessarily mean knowing lots of names/properties by heart. You should however have a good idea of what grid and flexbox can do for you and when to use them I think.

I personally have a hard time differentiating between properties such as justify-content / align-content / align-items / justify-items / justify-self and so on. To me those are just random words. Perhaps because English is not my first language, I don't know.

I really think it makes a huge difference to see a small icon describing what properties have been set and to see the difference by hover instead of just reading/editing raw CSS.

I've visited https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/ and https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/ countless of times. Some of the stuff just does not seem to stick tbh, especially if you have been working on something not-CSS related for some time.

I'm sure some people just remembers everything, but i'm not one of them :)
Oh, I just remembered that Ireland isn't in the Schengen Area (due to the Common Travel Area with the UK). So you wouldn't have a domestic-style flight from Ireland to Italy. But your experience then does seem to confirm that Dublin doesn't offer sterile transit at all, which is a bit of a surprise to me.
It's a whole different thing. If you install the 1.1.1.1 app, it's sending all your DNS lookups from your phone directly to 1.1.1.1. It doesn't care what's happening at the router level - which is kind of the point, I think.

Even moreso once this Warp VPN functionality is live.
> some will interpret it as a show of support for that person or even endorsement.

I think people should take full responsibility for their own personal interpretations.
We worry way too much about how some people may interpret something. There are interpretations that are legitimate and others that are not, and we need to find the courage to state it clearly.

The problem is that we have granted a superior moral status to people who proclaim themselves as victims; and stretching the interpretation of something to claim the victim status has become extremely easy, because once you've attained it nobody dares to question your interpretation anymore.

Example: I say "A", you interpret it as "B", claim you're the victim of an offense. At that point I can't question your interpretation anymore because I'd be questioning your victimhood. Checkmate.
We used to have a way to deal with reputational attack, the duel. If a gentleman's reputation is attacked, he may demand satisfaction from the offender. The offender could reject the duel at the cost of being known as a coward. If the duel is accepted, honer is restored to the victor of the duel. So much more elegant, faster, cheaper then the current system of lawyers and judges and various other third parties who all want to be paid. Bring back the duel!
Loop invariants are a lot more intuitive if you convert your loops into while() form and then further into tail recursion - they turn into a proof by induction.

For the first example, consider:

go (n, i, sum): given sum = 1 + 2 + ... + i-1 returns (1 + 2 + ... + n) :
per cases of (i <= n)
assume (i <= n) {
note: (sum = 1 + 2 + ... i-1 -> (sum + i) = 1 + 2 + ... + i)
return go (n, i + 1, sum + i);
} else assume (i > n) {
note: thus i = n + 1
then: sum = 1 + 2 + ... + i - 1 = 1 + 2 + ... + n
return sum;
}

sum n: returns 1 + 2 + ... + n = {
note: 0 = 1 + 2 + ... + (1 - 1)
// ^^^ Need to prove our precondition for go!
return go (n, 1, 0);
}

The other examples are a bit more complex for sure, but structurally similar. It's nonetheless easy to see how even very limited changes in complexity (such as the choice of loop indexing) can create quite a few pitfalls for truly rigorous proof!

We weren't given many constraints related to the chess piece recognition itself. The course instead asks us to implement a CV research paper, and we chose an existing research project which focused on chess piece recognition.

That lack of constraints led us into running face first into issues of generalisation and variability within datasets. As in, exactly what you allude to with limiting the piece sets.

I think in my undergraduate naivety my aspirations were too high with what could reasonably be accomplished. I've spent a lot of time trying to improve an aspect of the project that really didn't need to be improved, which prevented meaningful progress.
