There are no "approved grouups". What are you talking about?

Are you saying you never hear people talk bad about bankers, or frat boys, or jews, or cops, or blacks, or hispanics, etc etc etc?

Because if so, I call BS.

I also call BS if you try to tell me that everyone you've heard talk bad about, say, bankers or jews, has been fired from their job. Sure, you go up to your boss and tell your jokes about money grubbing jews, or joke about killing cops, and you're likely to not have a job.

But who does that? We all tell jokes in private social situations.

This is America, where everyone is discriminated against. That's reality. Mainly because as "whalesalad" said, "we're tribal people."

This entire idea that there are "approved groups" is nonsense made up by a bunch of people trying to make us think we can't tell jokes about anybody. When it's plainly obvious that we can, we should, and we do.
For the most part, that's true. But I am so excited that custom Cargo registries have finally landed!
BDs controllers were/are all hand-tuned using good old convex optimization. Good luck getting fancy 'Deep-RL' to work on these without multiple man years tweaking every little knob in the cost function and the algorithm.

>would make the differences between Americans look miniscule.

The culture, custom and language difference is definitely more drastic than it is in the U.S. I was somewhat bullied as a young kid in Shanghai because I couldn't speak Shanghainese that well.

However value is mostly not as divisive as it is here. I'm talking about the same kind of success is valued and worshipped throughout the country, urban and countryside alike. People also largely share similar family value, similar world view, and even similar opinions of domestic and foreign politics. In the U.S. I get the impression that everyone wants the best for the country, but they just drastically disagree on what an "ideal America" should look like. It's looking more and more like one side's paradise is the other side's nightmare.

Personally I theorize a lot of that is due to decades of centralized media, propaganda and a top down, heavily scrutinized education system, but in this case one can't help but wonder if democracy is always better judging by the extreme polarization of media bubble and social value in American society. In fact, we reached the level that democracy is only tolerated in the U.S. but not liked by most people. If you give a theoretical ballot/proposition to Hilary voters that strip Trump voters of voting rights and vice versa, I have a feeling a significant amount of voters across both sides will vote YES, but not admit in doing so.

But that's discussion for a different day.
It's always interesting to me the number of people who come out on HN to advocate vociferously for ownership of their private data, given that HN doesn't even let you delete your account ;)

The indictment is embarrassingly weak and I am no fan of Assange to say the least. I’m surprised there’s nothing on the dnc hacks.

It's good to see EFF taking a principled stance on Assange. Too many organizations have chosen to throw WikiLeaks under the bus after their 2016 election leak harmed the "wrong" American political team.

It's a shame that the American political machine is so good at character assassination (of both Assange and WikiLeaks), despite the sorely-needed transparency they've offered to many modern democracies. The world needs more organizations like WikiLeaks, not fewer.
“Assange is charged with conspiracy to commit computer intrusion and is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.”

In the city where I live, there are one-way lanes on either side of many largeish streets. Even so, every day you can expect to see people riding the wrong way in them. It's dangerous, and unnecessarily so.

I won't go so far as to say that I'm opposed to them outright, but when there's a choice between a street with a protected lane and a quiet street without one that runs parallel, I'll almost always choose the street without.
No, I'm not saying before we can criticise China we have to fix the rest of the world. Tribalism is normal and healthy, and there's nothing to fix.
I assume you can walk up to it and turn it by hand to at least see that the mechanical part is moving freely as-of now.
I'm not sure exactly what you're saying. Are you talking about some kind of monopoly or trust that prevents Uber/Lyft et al from getting access to self driving cars? That seems unlikely to me. As far as the various industries centered around car ownership I don't see why they'd go anywhere. Self driving cars will still need maintenance, oil, tires, etc. The only thing changing here is who owns the car. I don't want that to be me. As soon as it is economical for me to pay for transportation as a service and get rid of my money pit that is parked outside my apartment 24/7 I will do so.
For self driving cars to actually work, you really need the road infrastructure to support them, and for a majority of cars to be self-driving so they can coordinate with other vehicles. A car run entirely by sensors without receiving outside information will always be doomed to fail.

And I'm guessing the reason is valuable geographical position (in NYC's case it's a major shipping hub for both the Atlantic and the Hudson River) and the network effect. But valuable geography can change over time, and who knows how long the network effect of cities is going to last when we finally start making more jobs remote instead of wasting space and other resources on offices and people are free to live wherever they want.
Wow, so cool, but so confusing. I can't figure how that would work. But I also can't figure how people can think of a cube by its properties instead of seeing it.

It's true HN doesn't let you delete your account, but I'm not sure most HN account information is really "private", since submissions and comments are all public. Maybe a user's voting history is more sensitive. But it's not like HN (to my knowledge) is aggregating data on its users from other sources.

I’m a cloud True Believer but even I wouldn’t suggest it is the right choice to run any large third party proprietary database like SQL Server or Oracle on AWS.

At least with AWS’s custom Aurora/MySQL and Aurora/Postgres offering they are able to rewrite parts of it to take advantage of their other technologies, but when you look at their RDS offerings, it doesn’t really buy you as much if you need to run third party commercial databases at scale.

> While the indictment of Julian Assange centers on an alleged attempt to break a password—an attempt that was not apparently successful—it is still, at root, an attack on the publication of leaked material[.]

So if a reporter goes to a Congressman's house, tries to pick the lock, and fails, and later manages to get the same documents based on a leak from the Congressman's office, should the reporter be free from liability for the attempted break-in?

The law correctly gives reporters a lot of leeway, so long as they stay on the right side of the line. To give reporters so much freedom, society must be able to clearly distinguish protected reporting activity from unprotected criminal activity. For that reason it is incumbent on people claiming the shield of press freedom to avoid conduct that crosses the line, and for organizations like EFF to avoid trying to blur that line.
I became a bit addicted to buying independent apps on MacOS. A little bit on iOS too.

Little bits of shareware here and there.

With, of course, an annual upgrade cycle.

When I looked at why I was buying them, I realised it was more and more to merely replace Apple services with those that are more open.

I now use Windows and Android. Win 10 has a minimalist vibe to its UI that's a welcome relief from Apple's over-designed UX. A legacy of Apple's skeuomorphic approach which I always disliked.

I now have a very limited number of apps which I pay for. 5 I think. Compared to about 25 on Mac.

Otherwise I use freeware and open source. Yes the quality of these apps is not always so high. But they do the job, and I spend less time and money managing and upgrading them.

I'd prefer to use Linux of course, but am limited by some key apps such as DXO. Windows does the job.

The hardware is slightly cheaper but TCO is much cheaper for me.

Significantly, I do not use my personal machines for work. YMMV.

Yeah, as someone from a rural background, it always strikes me as far-fetched that people are going to give up ownership of vehicles because of driverless tech. People routinely spend 10x what they need to on a car, living well outside their means for essentially status (buying a new BMW instead of a used Honda for example). Moreover, there is more to owning your own car than privacy. It’s really damned convenient to have your car loaded up with your stuff. Your snow gear, your bike gear, your tools, your emergency electronic tools and first aid. I like to keep a folding chair in my car, it’s surprisingly convenient.
I don’t have a ton of experience living in cold climates but I did spur-of-the-moment cross country road trip in February a few years ago. We left from the Bay Area headed to Indiana, and when we stopped outside of Chicago for gas and I realized how naive our plans were. I had to get back in the car while gas was pumping it was so cold. If we had car problems or an accident dying of exposure could have been a real thing. We didn’t have cold-weather gear with us, I was wearing jeans and a hoodie, and I really felt like an idiot for it. Such fears can be easily solved by having blankets and food and chemical heat sources in the car, which I’m pretty sure is normal for people in those climates. You can’t really have gear with you like that if the driverless car goes and gets another fare once you reach your destination.
Great answer likewise! Some of those are really cool indeed!

Deep copy/deep extend is a must in every programming language ever. I have no idea why 90% of the environments I ever programmed with make it so damn hard to deep copy data. In javascript it is kind of comical. [1]

Traversal utilities like closest/parentsUntil/nextAll/nextUntil is something I miss in most standard libraries. No for DOM manipulation, but for traversing lists and such. Until/while idioms are par for course in imperative contexts but I miss them in functional programming contexts. Not that they're that hard to implement with a couple lines :)

Delay is further proof that the jQuery API design is nothing short of amazing. I wish more APIs were like that. The only thing that comes close to me, albeit in a completely different domain, is LINQ.

I had no idea about End. That's point-free programming black magic. [2] Love it.

No abnormal nose-up pitching may occur.

So what is "normal" nose-up pitching?

As far as I understand, the older 737 models also exhibit a nose-up pitching behavior in high-thrust/low-speed situations, to the point that stall recovery procedure explicitly specifies that the nose has to come down first, before thrust is increased. And maximum thrust may not be used, only max continuous thrust (or something similar) because otherwise the pitch moment from the engines may overwhelm elevator control.

> because historically it just doesn't happen

I understand the objections to voter ID based on unequal access to acceptable identification.

But I don't understand the "it just doesn't happen" argument. This kind of voter fraud seems like it would be nearly impossible to detect. I guess you could look at how often ballots are spoiled because of signature mismatches or incidences of "the registry shows that you already voted".

It seems like once voter id laws are passed, any laws or regulations limiting access to ID are de facto challengeable under the Equal Protection principle.
It's also 30 miles away from the city center of Tianjin. I can see why no one wants to live there.
I can't speak for anyone else, but when I signed up to HN I made the naive mistake of assuming that of course a pure tech website would be implemented correctly.

I was surprised and disappointing when I found out it didn't support deletion, but I'm kind of stuck now. Maybe one day I'll scramble my password and never come back, that's about the closest I can get to a deletion I guess. I check all new websites more carefully these days.
>In a free democratic society every citizen should be able to operate with the assumption that very invasive practice is banned

The words free society and everything you don’t agree with should be banned seem like opposite things.

The reality is if you put an always on microphone in your home - you should absolutely expect someone could be listening. At not point did they promise you that wouldn't happen.
Weirdly, when they simply changed the title from "99% Invisible" to "99% invisible" that solved it.

I'm sure you'd say the same about cars if you were a cyclist. Both bicycles and cars are driven by humans and they generally don't give a damn about the rules unless they benefit personally. The difference is that cyclists usually endanger themselves, while motorists endanger others.

I hope that the situation improves in Sudan, but it would be difficult for anyone to deliver prosperity when an already poverty-stricken population is growing at these rates:

1950: 5.7m

2000: 28m

2019: 44m

2050: 80m

2100: 127m

If the population cannot prosper today, how will the country handle 3x as many people and growing, with the added problem of climate change?

The fertility rate (currently 4.53) is falling too slowly. The #1 priority of the country should be to provide contraception, education and abortion to women nationwide - with 100% of foreign aid directed towards this cause.

Your goal should not be to know enough to write an RF implementation, but rather to have some intuition behind how it works, so you can better choose when to use it or not. The likelihood of it ever making sense for you to write and RF algorithm for production use is extremely unlikely; use the great code that already exists for most languages.

The biggest one in the near future is async/await; you’ll see the precursors land in the next few releases. There will also be a blog post soon outplaying overall plans for the year, but const generics, GATs, and specialization are the likely big-ticket items.

In general, this year of Rust will be about governance refactoring, finishing off long-desired features like the ones above, and general polish. There isn’t a lot of big plans for big new things coming anytime soon, more of finishing what we’ve started and improving what we have.

It matters, but if the rate of failure is high enough to be expected to be encountered within an all-fleet, constant flight environment for the lifetime of the aircraft, then you plan for failures as well as having the pilot know what to do when there is a failure.

In air sensors like this, their failures are higher than the rate at which you can ignore. They fail on their own, they get bumped and bent on the ground, they ice over in the air, or have objects striking them.
And Kubernetes still can’t give you all of the benefits of managed databases, queuing, messaging systems, etc.

If you’re only using the cloud to do VMs at scale, you’re probably spending more than baremetal and spending just as much on maintenance. Kubernetes adds yet another level of complexity.

Berlin has 3,944 inhabitants per km2. If not even that city reaches the standard, I think the criteria must be flawed. My city is the third largest in Mexico and it has less than 3500/km2.

Don't use social media and lock down your browser to limit fingerprinting. Your remaining big threats are phone apps and traditional data brokers profiling your credit card usage.

> The author keeps saying 'my data' when the data isn't theirs. The fact that they interacted with a party, that interaction, and who you are, is thier data.

"My data" might be ambiguous, because it can imply both ownership and association, but in this case obviously means "personal data concerning me".

> This the simple minded use of 'my data' really wrecks what could be a rather interesting ( but not surprising ) piece.

Try to read it again, this time without assuming the least favorable interpretation you can think of.
I envy your perspective. What I see in the news, in academia, in the movie industry, in hiring, basically in the public culture, is very different. This has changed dramatically in the last say 5 years, and I am having trouble understanding how you can argue that in 2019 we can still all make fun of each other freely.
