pros: a more private inbox

How does one evaluate that, especially someone not technical?

pro: harder for govt to snoop
I have worked for 3'ish ISP's over the years...every single one had NSA core router traffic mirror port to NSA clusters. These ISP's typically get cash in return for their service. So I don't think you can say a smaller shop would be more trusted to even not let the govt in to snoop.

honestly the more i think about it..I am probably safer with a free gmail
Delivery trucks are hard to transport and store once they're reported stolen. It'd be more sensible to just steal the packages on the truck.

The drone is "small", can be transported and stored without it being visible, so it get's lots of points there. Also I'd be concerned about stupid people/assholes and the shiny new drone.

That said, Cameras+GPS, not to mention you don't want to steal the drone if it's delivering to you because it'd be kinda obvious.

You could be right... but you're definitely the first person I've seen suggest this. It would be a Sixth Sense twist, given the domain name.

I agree that there is definitely a barrier to entry for making wikipedia articles, it definitely takes a little bit of time and effort. What bothers me is in a situation like the person you're replying to described, its hard to feel like the disgust/disappointment with the fact that this person didn't have an article is obviously overstated by the commenters. Yes, making a wikipedia article requires some effort, but not so much that if you cared at all about making one that you couldn't do it in an afternoon or two. Maybe it's an unfair assumption, but it just pushes me to further think that these people who complain about stuff on the internet don't actually care, they just want to win brownie points for appearing to care.

It's very clear: It only applies to death penalty. Life sentence would have him extradited.
One key difference is that time has a direction from past to future, while space doesn't.

Browsers don't trust the OS to provide secure private name resolution. And they really shouldn't when every OS just blindly takes whatever is offered via DHCP.

I absolutely agree that DNS should be a system-level concern rather than app-level. But today, right now, for computers as they are and will continue to be for the foreseeable future this is a huge improvement. Browsers being the app that handles basically all of our sensitive information I think have earned the exception.
The almost decade long defamation campaign to silence Assange has worked to the point where I might as well be defending a pedophile, yet all the DOJ could come up with was cracking a hash.
While one major use of something like this would be backups, how does one handle these backup sets with respect to GDPR requests? The window to respond is 30 days, so keeping backups longer than say 25 days seems cumbersome. You would need hot access to the sets to load them up and delete the data.

Firstly, there is not one campaign that's existed since 2000 that won't have had atleast a few campaign staffers with embarrassing emails. Secondly, the issue isn't only about the clear co-ordination with a hostile foreign state, it's that rather than abiding by Assange's own claimed values, he kept the data private and then leaked it over a political campaign to try and cause political damage. That's nothing to do with data being free, that's a political campaign by a foreign power.
I'm posting this because my inlaws are in SG (we're in NYC). The idea of moving there is appealing. I gave a talk at the SG python meetup in 2014 and the sentiment I got at the time was that the tech scene was pretty depressing. Low wages, competing with outsourcing firms, etc.. Has it changed? I'd like opinions from locals (not propaganda from the SG govt)
Why is this a scan?
I like how you highlight some admittedly minor commits in big scary red boxes while ignoring technically significant ones like "added function to figure out amt of systematic noise you need to add to get a chi squared of 1",

This is why people say there's sexism in tech bud. A male MIT PhD who was the public face of their project would not be subjected to nearly this much doubt and accusations of being deadweight by insecure 4chan weirdos combing through git logs.

I was born in Eastern Europe. Russian subversion is rife in the region. and they've been at it for decades, no impunity.

That's not a "case in point". I was talking about minor transgressions, not having sex with a minor.

I find your comment quite disturbing, to be honest.

Drones don't really require infrastructure though? They don't require any setup at the physical locations, and they have a pretty obstacle free path above the trees.

Zipline would require infrastructure setup on the scale of roads/telephone lines to be useful wouldn't it?
I had a friend once who did 18 months Federal time for just saying he could get 100 tabs of LSD at a forest rave in central Florida.

Not having it...not getting any...not even showing the undercover agent even one damn tab.

His charge ended up being "Conspiracy Against the United States" or something along those lines.

So I am pretty sure the US government will come up with some rather bogus charge against Assange, considering how he humiliated it.

Are they? Their FWD cars sell like hotcakes, and I honestly doubt 99% of their customers notice or care what kind of drivetrain runs the car. I'd like to think I'm a petrolhead and I'm constantly shocked by how little people know about the cars they buy. It's a miracle they manage to remember if the car takes petrol or diesel, honestly. Most of my friends bought their cars without doing any sort of research - it was a matter of picking one that looked most interesting + the config was within their price range, engine type/drive train be damned. The pinacle of this is a guy I know who has a GLE63S, so I thought it would be super cool to talk to him about the hand-built V8 in his car - his reaction was literally "custom built....what?". He bought it because he likes the look and the sound(and he's rich enough to afford it), but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't know that his car is 4 wheel drive for instance.

People generally don't care.

This is true but consider an alternate history where Google cared more about web performance than pushing sites to adopt their proprietary JavaScript toolkit: search rankings would simply incorporate page performance/size measured in real browsers and all of those sites would have a strong incentive to reduce page weight and they could load faster without needing 100KB of AMP JavaScript to successfully load before they start rendering.

> With non-realism, we are restricted to something we know to exist, by virtue of our human experience: our first-person perception of things.

Take that to it's logical extreme and you end up with solipsism. Why suppose anything else exists other than your own first person perceptions in this moment? If you allow for other first person perceptions which you don't experience yourself, then why not a world of space and time for those experiences to exist inside of with bodies and everything else that constitutes or supports our first person perceptions?
I can think of not a single family who started out wealthy and lost it all. What's far more common is dilution of wealth. Start out with $100mm, split that 10 ways through inheritance, then split that again, and again.

Personal opinion it has to do with is work with the Trump campaign. It's time to keep that one quiet now it seems like.
I see a lot of comments here saying "editors don't have to declare their names and gender", but in many ways, that's point.

Men have the option of declaring their gender without fear of any consequence. They don't have to excise any mention on their profile of details that might reveal their sexuality or gender. Some are even able to wear it like a badge. They're able to lay down roots on Wikipedia - create a profile and become a respected editor.

Women and LGBT people aren't able to do the same without hiding their gender - and have to go out of their way to hide it for fear of harassment. Saying "they can just use the WYSIWYG editor" misses the point. Other people _can_ be more than an IP address.

The point isn't that people are able to hide their gender or sexuality, it's that anyone has to do it in the first place.

> I would like to locate all HN comments which said he never would get arrested on behalf of the US

I've never seen anyone argue that.

I've seen people argue that the idea that extradition to Sweden exposed him to greater danger of that than merely being present in the UK, and that the Swedish extradition was part of convoluted plot that existed solely so he could be extradited from Sweden to the US, was a ridiculous notion that didn't really make any sense, since if the US wanted him they would just extradite him directly from the UK. Which remains true, and is, if anything, demonstrated by today's events.
Can the techniques be applied for other scrapers ? Because in the article they are discussed in the context of Web Robots scraping platform.
From what I've been reading lately, thats all they need to come up with. The useful idiots have already rendered their verdict.
You can extradite people who aren't your citizens. He is presumably accused of hacking into US computers.
Interesting, unlike Glacier this is significantly cheaper than Backblaze B2, meaning I might have to reconsider how I do my backups again. Any good backup tools supporting this type of service?

I rely on Restic at the moment which seems to need fast read access to data, but their incremental snapshotting is great. It'd be ideal if I could find something like that supporting these "cold storage" solutions.
If it did attract a death penalty he would be ineligible for extradition.
Few other languages have move semantics. Rust does, but has a quite different value model overall.
It is very interesting to see the waxing and waning of technical skills and regions over long timescales. Both the Germans and the Japanese are renowned for mechanical ingeniousness, probably because mechanical knowledge was increasing rapidly at the time they began to industrialize. Now that mechanical systems are being replaced by mechatronic systems and software, these regions are experiencing relative decline.

I have always thought the US as the center of the global software industry was a bit incongruous given that this industry took root when the US was itself experiencing relative decline, but it's probably due to the invention of that other IC technology here, integrated circuits, more than anything else. For the same reason aerospace is still concentrated in the US.

It really shows how the first mover advantage in R&D can confer advantages that last for over a century.
> It's clearly possible for C++ compilers to do this in many more cases. [...] Why not use that knowledge more often to help the programmer instead of burdening them?

"No JS" sounds better than "Almost no JS except for a line or two for minor usability enhancements."

What's the difference between a site with no JS and a site that has a few lines of inline JS to handle expanding and collapsing comments? Probably nothing, but one sounds better. It's just like how you never hear people bragging about being almost-completely-vegan-except-for-that-one-egg-sandwich-a-month.
What are the transfer costs for storage and retrieval?
No need for tricky hacking really. Physical access is total access after all.
So what's the maximum sentence for this?
I think there is doubt. Garry McKinnon was never extradited (though on rather bullshit grounds).
> Can you list these arguments, please?

I can give you mine... Realism argues that we (as minds, let's say) exist within a reality that keeps existing when we are not looking, i.e. that is independent of our own existence. These are two types of entities, mind-body beings such as you and me + the external, persistent material world. If there's just entities like you and me (whatever we are) sharing a collective dream, that is one less type of entity. Occam's Razor advises against the unnecessary propagation of entities in explanatory endeavors.

This of course does not falsify realism, but it demands that it is there only if to explain something that could not be explained otherwise.

> our Universe has no bounds in space, in time, and in scale

Perhaps I don't understand what you mean. I would say that our universe (forgetting MWI stuff) is bounded in time (Big Bang was 13.7 billion years ago), in space (expanding but finite) and in scale (there is such a thing as the fundamental building blocks of matter, maybe they have internal structure, but they seem to be below the level where the concept of "structure" even makes sense -- they are phenomena more than "things").

> So, we can predict future of any particle if we will have enough information about it,

Not really. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_indeterminacy

> but we cannot do that with 100% confidence, because Universe is endlessly deep.

You are alluding to chaos theory, but quantum indeterminacy is more fundamental than that. Also, nobody knows if the Universe is "endlessly deep", and current empirical evidence points to "it's not".
What is the meaning of the claim about "99.999999999% annual durability"? Does that mean one chance in 100B of an object being unretrievable?

These are my favorite lecture notes, they assume almost no a-priori knowledge (with an awesome review of basic probabilities) and yet they don't shy away from explaining all the rigorous math.

If you have time to read step-by-step derivations and want to understand the fundamentals, I think this is an excellent self-contained resource.

> We aren't discussing what Wikileaks leaked anymore. We are discussing Julian Assange's cats. See how they shifted our attention? That's the power of a propaganda - eventually, it will work. They just have to keep at it, and they did.

This is only true, if at all, today, on this forum. The mainstream press has been talking about Hillary's emails (and how they were obtained, and other fallout) for literally years now.

Strange how her lawyer today told the press that the victim hopes that Sweden re-opens the rape case. Definitely no ill will towards Assange, only concern for his health.

Note that I didn’t say she MUST be referred to as doctor. You did.

My statement isn’t an assertion of requirement on the part part of the BBC. This is just opinion and really ought not be looked upon as something incendiary or contentious.
They almost certainly can't send him to Gitmo, if he's been extradited on formal charges. That puts him in the hands of the regular legal system. What makes Gitmo a special case is that it's an end-run around both American and international law... prisoners there aren't in the American legal system and subject to awkward rights like habeus corpus and fair trial, but likewise aren't prisoners of war and subject to the Geneva Convention (which calls for freeing enemy soldiers as quickly as possible unless they are being charged with war crimes for an international tribunal, which is highly unusual).

This is why Gitmo is a shame on our national honor, but it also means Assange won't be going there.
