Good thing it is not the government telling Mozilla to remove the plugin then, otherwise there might be an actual problem here.

What makes free speech useless is pretending that someone else has a responsibility to promote your message or provide you with access to a printing press. Neither are true. This does not even appear to be the case that Mozilla is preventing anyone from using the plugin, they are just deciding that they aren't going to make any effort to promote it.

I guess it is not too hard to see who the real snowflakes are...
It's like as if Manning copied the lock at the military base and Assange agreed to see if he can figure out how to pick the copy, but failed (or never even tried, we don't know).
If Uber is a self driving car company that why do I have to pay for a money losing taxi company, too?
Totally agree on both.
Your comment makes no sense in context with the original article.

Conspiracy to commit a crime is a crime.

Cracking a password is one thing; cracking a password for someone else so they can commit a crime (and you knew this was what they were doing with it) is a crime.

If I know Joe's password, and I pass it on to Steve so Steve can log in and steal Joe's secrets and pass them back to me, I am in a conspiracy to commit a crime under the CFAA.

The cost of entry might be higher than other spaces but I think automating those aspects will become cheaper and easier to do over time. Actually the cost of entry being high seems like a good reason to go public "so quickly", atleast to me. I don't see any other ride sharing IPOs happening anytime soon and investors are desperate to buy into the concept of a stable active marketplace as a product.
You have to choose: either the sexual assault charges are being investigated by an independent judiciary, or it is all part of some conspiracy to put him in jail.

Judging by how much emphasis on the second option, I find it hard to not read an implied dismissal of the sexual assault charge in your comment.

I live on that street. The streets adjacent to it are also plagued by a plethora of cars on both sides. Much worse than what streetview is showing because streetview is done midday on weekdays when everyone is gone. (Notice how most of the driveways are empty and recycling cans are out - it's the middle of a Thursday that this was taken) It used to be that people would park with their cars on the curb to give more access but I don't see people doing that anymore.

Certain weekends and at night these streets are very full with cars. Much more than google street view shows. It's deceptively smaller than it appears. It looks as if two cars might be able to slip by but frequently not the case. I can't actually remember the last time I saw two cars go by each other side by side without one pulling over to wait for another to pass on my street in particular. The more main street to the south has the same problem but is even wider.

The streets in particular are pretty wide for this issue but because of street parking being available on both sides, it's an issue.
Well… it's a complex situation, they officially contribute to Freedreno IIRC, but the firmware is still terrible. For some reason you're always booted under a hypervisor, even. There was kind of a hope that Windows requiring ACPI would improve the situation, but they seem to still use a lot of custom crap.

The indictment alleges Assange induced Manning to do it, which makes it a conspiracy.

I do think that presents big press freedom issues; it'd be easy to see news organizations under fire in this fashion. Convincing a source to hand over stuff isn't much (or at all, really) different than the behavior described in the Assange/Manning case.
Yes, but US seems to like to slap conspiracy charges on people who've done essentially nothing in furtherance of the conspiracy.

Maybe it's a crime in the US, but it's still a ludicrous crime.

This is of course not at all similar to what happened here, a very strange example.
The pilot can "know whether he's close to stall without anything more than an airspeed indicator" only if he's not in a turn (see accelerated stall).

While you are right in theory - if you knew the load factor and indicated airspeed (IAS) you could determine AoA - how would you measure IAS in practice? Normally a pitot tube would give you incorrect readings at non-zero angles of attack, and that's why airplanes use an input from an AoA sensor for correction. Which brings you back to where you started - an AoA sensor.

You are second-guessing tens (hundreds?) of thousands of engineers who thought about these problems for more than a hundred years.

People who like low prices might not like it, because the main reason Uber, Lyft, etc are cheap is that they use VC money to subsidize rides.
He took specific steps (cracking a hash) with the clear intent of helping break into a government owned computer system.

I'm not sure what the gray area is supposed to be here.

If I teach you lock picking skills as a fun hobby, that's clearly okay.

If I teach you lock picking skills knowing you aspire to be a house robber, that is grayish legally and wrong ethically.

But if I break into a specific bank vault for you to help you steal stuff, and we talked about stealing the stuff before I helped you, then I'm clearly involved in a criminal conspiracy.

Assange committed a crime, and if he played the same role in helping to empty your bank account you'd want these laws to exist.

The ethical question here is about whether that crime was ethically jusified. I.e., it's about civil disobedience, not about whether blatant conspiracy should be legal.
It’s totally necessary because HN is predictable as clock work to downvote when you insinuate the liberal standard has flaws, the biggest of which is the inability to be critical of themselves without instinctively reacting to inflict pain (downvoting)
Your thesis is supported by their financial statements. Their costs are indicative of a company focused on growth. As revenues continue to grow the can scale back marketing and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue to make profits potential.

Exploiting a business partner that is operating at a loss is a bad move when said partner is providing a significant part of your revenue. You are placing that revenue in jeopardy without good reason.

Or, better yet, a given set of information is automatically classified or not by virtue of what it is and what it's about, rather than an opt-in/opt-out system.

Of course, that's just the first step. Next we'd have to define who or what makes the determination for a given document.

And we'd have to define the granularity. Otherwise the system could be gamed in such a way that you could cause an entire document to be classified by inserting an otherwise unrelated footnote containing sensitive info.
I was with Atom for years, switched to VS Code and feel in love (save for the find and replace as cited above, I still felt/feel Atom's is better than VS Code's) and stuck with it (VS Code) for months.

The thing that made me switch back was that there was some combination of plugins I was using in VS Code (I think it was the VIM plugin and something else maybe) started freezing periodically and the whole editor would become unresponsive and I'd have to restart. After that became normal I decided to switch back.

In the end I preferred to spend my time coding rather than hunt down the problem.

Also Atom's VIM plugin is strictly better for my use case. The highlighting effect to show you what you just `yw` for example is great!
Intent is very important in the judicial system.

If Assange can show that he was cracking the password of a US military login as a hobby, he might get away with it.

But I don't think even his ardent supporters would buy that theory.
> Additionally, Assange was arrested on Swedish rape charges in 2010; his current asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London began after the UK attempted to extradite him on those charges in 2012. In May 2017, Sweden dropped the charges.

This is factually inaccurate - Assange has not been charged with a crime by any country. There was an investigation in Sweden but no charges were brought.

Presumably he will be indicted in the US momentarily.

As yet, not a single country has charged him with a crime.

Edit: yes, the US has now indicted him on a conspiracy charge—his first.
Thanks for the source article! I had heard about this but not seen any material on it until now.
In LA, Uber recently reduced the per minute rate from 80 cents to 60 cents. This was after increasing the rates in Sept 18. Their annoucment of the rate decline was preceded by hours until it was effective.

Prior to this week, Uber had a consecutive ride bonus for 3-rides in a row that would add $7 to 11. But the app would malfunction often or not alert you, and break the streak. Almost everyday I complained but Uber never conceded and never gave me the small bonus.

This week, the consecutive ride bonuses are gone. Replaced by a flat $185 bonus for 70 rides in 7-days to $305 for 120 rides. Previously the biggest ride bonuses would require you to drive 11 hours a day consecutively to hit. And if you did 25% or 50% you’d get 10-15% of the bonus.

My current rate is $23/hour minus roughly $5-6 for gas, depreciation, car and insurance. My rent in LA is $3000/month.

Perhaps $17-18 an hour is fair but Uber’s tactics seem incredibly malicious and ever-changing. I feel like they are exploiting drivers unnecessarily although it is nice to have income whenever I need it.

There’s also tons of bad drivers, they encourage you to use the Uber map system which is seriously flawed, doesn’t calculate traffic and is semi-dangerous. They don’t advise drivers how to do basic tips to navigate traffic.

It could be so much better but it’s weird corporate strategies mixed with bad execution. The negatively Uber generates is a serious problem for their brand and I can’t imagine they’ll exist in 10-years based on how they decide things.

I would hope that the government would have to show actual acts in furtherance of the conspiracy to charge people, but that's not what happened here.

The only supposed criminal act here is agreeing to help, not actually providing help. This does nothing at all to further the conspiracy.

Yeah... not going to pay $43 to read that. The journal is "Body, Movement and Dance in Psychotherapy". It's a psychotherapy article, marked as "theoretical article", and is a meta-study survey of other published articles. My education included minors in chemistry and cognitive science. I recognize and admit I have a prejudicial bias against "soft" science, so you're probably not going to change my mind without some actual biochemistry experimentation. You might sway someone with different standards, though. Again, objective, repeatable measurements, or the effect does not exist.

It would be easy enough to do. First, extract some blood plasma from a volunteer using normal donation protocols. Divide it into three portions. Remove the dissolved CO2 from one. Saturate the CO2 in another. Do nothing to the last. Inject the fractions, in random order, into the subject intravenously, and observe the results after each one. My hypothesis is that the acidic sample will prompt an increase in respiratory rate, the basic sample will prompt a decrease, and the placebo sample will do nothing.

Did you have your blood pH tested before deciding to change your blood pH through conscious alteration of your breathing?

No? Then stop doing it. Actually test your blood pH before continuing. If it is normal, do not resume. If it is low, condition yourself to breathe faster or more deeply. If it is high, condition yourself to breathe slower or more shallowly. Re-test to titrate your results. And please stop advising strangers on the internet to use breath therapy to change their blood pH. A randomly chosen individual is highly unlikely to have chronic acidosis or chronic alkalosis, and your advice may lead an otherwise healthy individual to undertake practices that could be detrimental to their long-term health.

I understand you are excited about learning that you have the power to change the chemical environment in your blood just by overriding natural unconscious pulmonary responses with your brain. That does not mean it is safe, or effective for any particular purpose. In normal, healthy individuals, appropriate blood pH is automatic, unconscious, and absolutely effortless. So step back and ask yourself from the perspective of a disinterested observer why you are so concerned with your blood pH.

Along with temperature, pH is one of the highest-impact variables on aqueous biochemical reactions. Animals are full of amphoteric molecules, that can behave differently in different pH ranges. And some of them participate in vital chemical reactions and cycles. As previously mentioned, animals have several different chemical buffer systems to regulate pH, and both respiratory rate and the sense of respiratory distress are governed by concentration of CO2 in the blood. Free divers hyperventilate to clear excess CO2, before holding their breath for an extended period, and this puts them at risk of hypoxia, because they won't feel the compulsion to breathe from excess CO2 in the blood until much later than they normally would. Forcing yourself to breathe abnormally will have noticeable and measurable physiological effects. Not all of them are necessarily good.
The first quarter is easy, the 2nd more difficult. I don't think we'll ever get to the third.
Your statement is ignorant of office and network politics: I work surrounded by men who communicate professionally with men, primarily. At conferences they drink and socialise with each other. It's harder as a woman to get into these networks. When there is an opening, this information spreads via the network. Which has few women in it.

You may feel uncomfortable knowing the hiring process is weighted. But I feel uncomfortable being in an office that doesn't have other women. If I can change that WHILE at the same time meeting my hiring standards AND not consciously turning away a clearly better candidate then absolutely, I'm going to use positive discrimination.

Automatic moves don't imply that you can't use RAII to define dynamic scopes. In fact it's the reverse- moves give RAII much more power and flexibility around scopes. The problem, instead, is that C++ has no way to determine whether later statements depend on moved-from variables.

To a first approximation, this could be solved using the same analysis that powers "use of uninitialized variable warnings." In the general case you need something more powerful, like the C++ Core Guidelines lifetime checker (https://herbsutter.com/2018/09/20/lifetime-profile-v1-0-post...). This means move operations end scopes just like `}`s do, preserving both RAII and the compiler's ability to help the programmer.

I think this is really cool! It's really nice to use a standards-compliant persistent file format; I think a lot of companies have their own persist implementations that render the data only visible at the SQL or REST layer.

I'm wondering:

- Would it be possible to add certain guarantees to performance characteristics for different file formats? Parquet and column-oriented stores operate a good deal different from CSV and row-oriented stores. Would you have to scan the binary?

- Can you combine different persist types together? How do the performance characteristics change?

- What do you do about unclean data and disjoint data sets? Does somebody else have to clean them? What happens if somebody "corrupts" data (say, replaces a CSV delimiter type in-place while Rockset is running)?

- Is there an extensions API available (e.g. SQL through Google Spreadsheets and CSV on AWS S3, both through Zapier)? That could deliver a big value-add, since if your data can be colocated more efficient means and alternatives can be applied.

This is neat!

Ahh, sorry I read your comment as more zealous than it was.

To my knowledge (and I could be very wrong), Manning and Assange released info about then-current troop operations in the middle east. People's lives were endangered by the release of the info. You might not like where the line is, but I don't think they have too much of a leg to stand on either (assuming my understand is correct).
Manning was definitely still leaking while talking to Assange.[1] and there is no public information about whether or not Assange cracked the hashes (only that he offered to).

> He's being prosecuted for allegedly extracting a password from a hash value

They don't claim Assange extracted a password. They just claim that Assange said in the chat "no luck so far"! That is, that he wrote to Manning that he tried.

https://www.justice.gov/usao-edva/press-release/file/1153481...

The indictment is "conspiracy" with Manning.
