They don't make a habit of posting the shitty TEDx talks to the main channel, I'm guessing. (And there's plenty of those.) This is definitely high quality relative to most TEDx talks, so I understand why it was upgraded.

i didn't say anything about guilt. i was replying to the post above me asking about why some have turned against him.
Sure.

But in a published headline, one ought to be addressed by their formal title.

I'm not sure what this comment adds. Mr. Sulzberger precisely calls out this fact out:

> The averaged results show how ubiquitous this practice is: The Financial Times had 19 trackers, The New York Times had 24, The Wall Street Journal had 53, The Guardian had 54, The Washington Post had 58, Fox News had 63, BuzzFeed had 67, HuffPost had 77, CNN had 83, Vox had 95, and USA Today had 100.

And he addresses the hypocrisy of the situation:

> As with a politician railing against high drug prices while accepting campaign donations from big pharma, a news organization cannot talk about privacy on the internet without skeptical readers immediately, and rightly, examining its own practices for signs of hypocrisy.

To be sure, an attempt to improve privacy practices by a business that relies on digital ad revenue should be met with a healthy dose of skepticism. But dismissing the project for lack of privacy purity seems counterproductive.

Let's not let perfect be the enemy of the good. I'm very happy to see the an organization like The Times calling attention to the problems of privacy online. They're not perfect, but steps like these should be encouraged.
The fact that you can't seem to name one of those "many illegal things" is quite uncomfortable as well. Is your comment carefully constructed disinformation?
Not simpler to extradite him then and there, but simpler to extradite him at some point in the future, assuming the investigation would've been successful

Edit: HN doesn't let me reply so deep in a thread unless I wait like 20 minutes. It'd have been simpler if he were detained as they'd have had a guarantee of his jurisdiction and plan accordingly. I imagine having him arrested in a country that had allowed CIA extraordinary rendition would've been better for them than having him protected in Ecuadorian embassy.

The link you provided refers to a New Statesman article about a debate held to discuss the effect of whistleblowing. I quote the relevant passage from the New Statesman article:

Murray didn't back down, moving on to make reference to the Guardian's claim that Assange "didn't care" about Afghan informants who were identified as a result of the release of the war logs.

Assange hit back: "Point of order! We are in the process of suing the Guardian . . ." After a bit of back and forth about libel laws – Assange said he has campaigned for their reform, but that people should have recourse when allegations are made against them – Murray drawled: "I think I'll take from that that Mr Assange thinks libel law is good when he's using it."

I cannot see where Assange said '"it's not true" on twitter', as you report, but in any case it seems clear that he didn't just make some off-hand remark on a social medium, as you seem to suggest.

In any case, I don't see why using twitter as a platform would reduce the validity of such a statement. There's a difference between tweeting to your followers you're going vegan and claiming you're suing the Guardian for libel.

>> In any case, the names of informants were published. He did it. That's all you need to know about the man.

To be frank, I don't much care about statements that start with "that's all you need to know". I usually prefer to chose for myself how much I need to know of anything.

At least around here (in US), while street deals are still the common among most people, USPS is likely the one of the biggest/safest methods now. They require a warrant to search domestic packages, not to mention the most common "illicit substance" is now commercially legal in many states...
I get the retro chic of an old Windows OS, but you could also package a window manager, web browser, text editor, and more in a floppy disk into the late 2000s using Linux. Compared to the multiple gigs of OS files needed to run Android on my smartphone, it's almost inconceivable how wasteful modern software is.
the closest one that comes to mind is the teenager who was credited with that article summarizing algorithm that I think Yahoo or someone ended up buying. My memory is pretty hazy on it, but in that case it seemed more like a group of researchers actually made it and I'm not 100% certain how he was connected. I remember that one getting a bit of "hey, what a second" kind of comments about it.

I think in this particular case, I have no problem with it. One, she obviously had a big part in it. Maybe it is blow back because they feel a picture of the inside of a black hole isn't a big deal and people are making it into something big? In my opinion, it is. I remember middle school teachers almost scoffing at the idea of a picture of a black hole and yet, 25 years later, here we are. Regardless, she in her twenties has generated something that researchers spend a lifetime trying to find so kudos to her. I'm sure there is a certain gendered element to it in both cases (for and against) and it'd probably be naive to think there wasn't.

Even if this were a smaller aspect of what these researchers were aiming for, I'd love to see a documentary series on what various team members worked on (and in her case, discovered). An image generated by radio waves and she (maybe with others?) was able to construct an image out of that? That's impressive. Probably not, but I'd be curious if this kind of thing could be localized in a way that it could be the "sound to visual model" element of a system so that blind people could make out the world a bit more directly (obviously, there'd need to be a means for them to consume said model. All of this is way above me and my pay grade).
Citation definitely needed.

The software is "ehtim", here are the contributors:

He says:

> I wrote ehtim (eht-imaging) as a python framework for implementing regularized maximum likelihood imaging methods on EHT data. In the last two years, it has evolved into a flexible environment for manipulating, simulating, analyzing, and imaging interferometric data and is a workhorse of the EHT’s data analysis pipeline.

At first I thought the image was being disingenuous by cherry-picking commits to highlight, but take a look for yourself, she really did mostly just modify plotting, add options and fix bugs:

There's nothing wrong with that, but claiming that she is "behind the software" is just bullshit.
Not to mention that the majority of engineers within the company will not willingly work full steam ahead on an enterprise that will destroy their life's work and make many of them obsolete (as they are combustion engine experts).
Excellent point. So it sounds like the basket of goods wasn't chosen correctly, or not changed often enough to be representative across each time line, or something? Because it simply cannot be a valid result that a typical wage way back then (when standards of living were much lower) is worth millions of dollars today.
It definitely seems like two extremes right now. Personally I think we should strive for minimalism when working with JS. Things get bloated very quickly when non-technical departments have requests (tracking, A/B testing, ads, etc). These things often cannot be pushed back on.

My feelings are that front end devs should focus on performance by reducing what is in their control -- basically dependencies and overengineered clients
Make any Seinfeld GIF you want
The biggest problem IMO with JS and performance is event listeners.

If they setup event listeners on each card, talk, etc. it could easily kill performance.

Turns out this is easily solved by setting up a single event listener on the root element (body, #app, etc.) and then checking the event.target to see what changed.
I recently made a 1600 mile trip by car. In all of the places we stopped, I saw exactly one place that had EV charging set up.

Tesla, and non-hybrid EV in general, have a co-dependent relationship with charging stations to overcome "range anxiety". This is especially true for those od us who live in cold climates and must drive in conditions unfavorable to operating batteries, such as -20 to -40 degree weather.

I'm also very curious to see what the electric pickup trucks that all the manufacturers are not-so-secretly working on end up being capable of. A frequent consequence of rural life is needing to haul heavy things, such as wood for repairing out buildings or outdoor furnaces, or towing boats to go fishing.
I am hoping to find the time to write something, preferably a (free) book; I think I might find the time this summer for that.

It's not what what you're asking is unreasonable in concept, but that it goes against how RAII is used in C++; it'd make more sense in a new language. Specifically the issue is that despite its name, RAII isn't merely used for resource acquisition, but also to define dynamic scopes. That means destroying an object too early (which can happen if an object is automatically moved) can cause a subsequent statement that doesn't syntactically depend on the variable holding that object to see the wrong program state. So if your compiler moved objects automatically, that'd break code that uses RAII as a dynamic scoping mechanism.

That said though, it might be cool to have an [[attribute]] for classes (maybe [[automove]]? or [[resource]]? or [[functional]] or [[dataflow]]??) that lets you declare that that a class's construction and destruction (or maybe all members... ) can be assumed to have no side-effects for clients to depend on, or something like that... if they can work it out that'd be cool. Ideally it'd mean that an automatic variable of that type can be destroyed following its last dependency in any given scope.

Don't worry about these comments. The worst thing in science is usually that the code is not published (and these comments on code quality don't help).

People may say alarming things while practicing their lines for a play, too. You can probably think of other plausible reasons. But Amazon workers can't know the context.

If Amazon workers hear something that sounds like a situation the cops should intervene in, they're in a tough situation. Not calling the cops could mean letting someone die. Calling the cops could embarrass someone or, somewhat less likely but possible, get someone killed because the situation unintentionally escalates.

Calling the cops definitely draws attention to the fact that Amazon was listening in the first place, which I would argue is a good thing and which Amazon would really like you to forget.

My feeling is that for the sake of the workers' humanity, they should be allowed to call the cops if they are concerned about the user's safety; otherwise you're asking them to ignore their conscience, which is dehumanizing and likely to haunt them.

And if users plan to say alarming things, they should turn off their AI microphones first. Having them know to do this brings healthy attention to the true nature of the devices.

But right now within epsilon every computer will just blindly take what is given to it by DHCP making the local network operator, who is for almost everyone an untrusted party, the person who decides what's best for you.

I agree that DNS should be a system level concern rather than an app-level concern but in the real world browsers want to protect their users' privacy and the OS they run on doesn't do that. If every app went out and started using app-level DNS then it might get annoying but browsers are particularly privacy and security sensitive.

With this change almost everyone (i.e. people who don't mess with their OS setting and don't know or care what DNS is) are markedly better off.

I'm not sure why you keep calling me names and suggesting that I'm a white nationalist.

I hang out with refugee and volunteer for the homeless.

Last time I pointed that out on an unrelated article around here all I got were downvotes. Let's say you and I have the same mislead views on what is right. And all of this makes me sad.
In the headline? They call her "Dr" just a few sentences into the article. The rule of headlines is to use as few words as possible, and every one of them should be necessary. I've never heard that formal titles MUST be used in headlines, and indeed in practice this doesn't seem to be the case. Shaquille O'Neal has a PhD and I've never seen him referenced as Dr. Shaquille O'Neal, in a headline or otherwise (and no, I'm not joking, this is apparently real).

I don't think this is an attempt to minimize her accomplishments, unlike many of the comments here in this very thread.
What's with the downvotes? Can I hear a different opinion?

An hour ago a lot of people here were like:

- He's just charged with skipping bail, innocent people shouldn't run, UK won't extradite him

- He's charged with sexual assault, innocent people don't run from that Sweden won't extradite him

Well, now we know what's up...
I have a similar aversion to JS as the author, but unfortunately it's still the best tool for the job in manipulating the DOM.
