The link is http, so you're using something (perhaps HTTPS Everywhere?) which is converting it to an https link.

According to the Qualys SSL tester (https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.circleid....), the IPv6 server for www.circleid.com has "Certificate not valid for domain name" (and the IPv4 server gets an F grade), so you're probably either using IPv6, or using IPv4 with a browser which no longer accepts the obsolete TLS 1.0 version.
Works perfectly, thank you!

> When the discussion comes to any other topic such as police brutality, racism, discrimination etc. these voices are conspicuously absent.

Patently untrue, and a baseless accusation. If anything, the recent spate in enforcing compulsory body-cams for cops, and livestreams of actual police brutality have faced ZERO calls for censorship, especially from free speech advocates.

> things are illegal but let's not make any laws or have any clear legal mechanisms to effectively enforcing this

What does this even mean? If something is illegal, those with standing can obviously enforce the law.
> Now, while there are certainly many more or less valid arguments for a speed limit, I have never heard anyone arguing about the number. The verocity of the debate is contrasted by a total lack of arguments for or against a specific limit. Why 120 and not 130 or 90. What about 160?

You could ask the same question for basically every other limit. Why is the speed limit in cities usually 50 and not 40 or 60? Why do you need to be at least 18 years old to have the right vote, why not 17 or 19, ...?

In the end most of those limits aren't determined by a single argument but by many. Speed limits have to take into account the road quality, the traffic density, the kind of vehicles sharing the same road, how many pedestrians are around, environmental aspects like wind speeds, ... You also don't want vehicles with huge differences in speed.

The later is my favorite argument against the missing speed limit on parts of the German Autobahn. You can have everything between stopped vehicles in a traffic jam, a tractor with 60km/h, trucks at 100km/h or less when they struggle with inclines, the average cars at around 130km/h, the business people rushing from one place to the other at 160-220km/h and those who just like to have some fun with their sports cars or bikes at >200km/h with no limit.

Of course I have no idea what the best limit should be in every case, instead I suggest to figure this out with lots of experiments. Introduce certain speed limits on certain parts and find out what an effect this has on the number of accidents, traffic jams, efficiency, noise, etc... Then the speed limit can be adapted according to those results.
It does imply they take it less seriously than stormfront, though.
Even the nature of server-side PHP is bad. Running the script like an executable and using opcache on better case is no good. Also it is not uncommon to upload a php shell using some crappy upload.php forgotten script... Come on, it's Personal HomePage language - you shouldn't do anything bigger than your home page in it.
This can be done (1st request of ur post) easily on iPhone ... Do Not Disturb --> Allow only contacts.

Also, only allow text messages from contacts via edit a contact --> text tone --> emergency bypass on and no text tone if you don't want to hear a sound.

Works great for me... my phone is now all mine again! Scum are ignored & go directly to voicemail.
An example is the law against distributing information on making bombs/weapons with the intent of promoting/enabling violence.

> School shooting where 3 people die = national dialogue on gun control because it's outrageous.

I'm sorry, what country is this? The one I live in its just "thoughts and prayers" when that happens.
Considering that religious speech and the guiding religious books are often completely intolerant of all other views of the world and can thus be considered extremist, it would appear that such an agreement could ironically cause the censorship of the very religion that was brutally targeted in these attacks. Or perhaps they have specific censorship goals in mind? Think of the result in Alabama just yesterday, it is abundantly clear that Christianity as an ideology causes real tangible harm to women and ought to be completely scrubbed from social media.
> but we've lost a lot of expertise in manufacturing as a result

Couldn't agree more.

So, now we must go through a painful period while we atone for past mistakes... and hopefully learn enough to not repeat them in the future.

One must hope the population has the ability to stomach temporary losses for future gains.
So, I remember in preschool, we were allowed to play with hammers, nails, and pieces of scrap-wood.

I tried to build a miniature wrestling ring with four nails, some rubber-bands, and a square piece of wood. I hit my thumb alot.
I had to raise Composer’s RAM limit last week for a fairly simple Symfony project with less than 10 extra dependencies. I had to up it from 2 to 4 gigs. PHP 7.2.8. without xdebug.
For 0 dollars, you can get a BGP table dump and see how many addresses aren't even routable. (doesn't mean they're not in use, but makes it less likely)
Ideally the network equipment would never see anything but encrypted traffic. There is no reason why a cell tower should be able to get access to the voice data of a call.

Now of course we all know that the crypto at least in GSM was horribly weak and optional, because that is the way the US and France liked it, whereas countries such as Germany wanted strong crypto, fearing surveillance by then-enemy Russia next door.

EDIT: Anyone know how that is going to be in 5G? I would be surprised if we get decent end to end encryption, but did they at least limit the number of network elements that can access the voice data?
The obvious correction is to change the duration of a second such that a year is exactly $integer seconds long. While this will make the duration of second drift from year to year, that drift is so small that everyday devices like consumer-grade computers could just ignore it, provided they're NTP synced once every five years or so. Physicists can just keep using whatever they're using and call it by a different name. Ideal solution all-around.
It's not really all-or-nothing though; even relieving rent a little bit in these places would represent relief for a large number of people. And upzoning has other benefits. People who own small SFHs and have family struggling to make rent will be able to add ADUs to help house that family. And fundamentally, upzoning is reducing restrictions on peoples' private property which to me seem needless. It sounds hyperbolic or cliche, but why not do it in the name of Freedom?
A lot of time people will move to a new job for a more senior position than their current job. Being a Sr. Engineer at a Series A funded startup can be very different than being a Sr. Engineer at Facebook (not always, but often). I would expect a higher bar at a larger engineering organization.

If someone is effectively testing for these more difficult subject matters then it's quite possible that they themselves and other co-workers are competent in them (as they passed the same test).
I can't even get someone banned who directly threatened to murder me in direct messages so I say they hVe a long way to go.
I have been in search of what you’ve put together. My wife and I have tried unsuccessfully various strategies along these lines that were more lofi, but always come back to the spreadsheet. Another vote for open sourcing! I would be willing to contribute in my spare time to something like this. It’s a big gap for many, and all these beautiful iOS apps fall short in every way (but mainly I can’t bring myself to put my bank info on any of them!!).
The legal machinations Disney went through to secure the site for The Florida Project, as it was then called, are unprecedented and will never be repeated. Disney is the government there.

The rationale was that Disney knew more about safety and engineering than the cities that surrounded the property. And you know what? They were right. A drive through the area will make it obvious as soon as you hit Disney property (40 sq miles or larger than Manhattan, BTW). It's cleaner and safer with better roads, signs, and landscaping. There are no overhead power lines, for example. Even their parking lots are smarter with sensors that lead you to the nearest empty space.

Having said that, I don't think they would ever attempt a nuke plant and I'm glad about that.
I, on the other hand, am glad these tariffs are happening. They've been a long time coming.
I'm not a concurrency expert (haven't had to do much high-performance stuff), but php does have coroutines like go's --if you use swoole, the performance is actually higher than node in some benchmarks and other multi-threaded / parallel programming paradigms, which comforts me to know that if I have the use case it's there, so I don't necessarily need to drop everything and pick up rust or java or go or another language w/ native concurrency models.

Not saying php is better, there's definitely reasons using rust, elixir, et al would be a better decision for scalability/etc... Just saying it isn't as far off from java, and it's getting JIT I believe in 8.0 (tentatively), whether that improves speed/proficiency is yet to be determined.

That said, I've been a laravel dev since 2013, getting a little bored, so have been branching out and toying w/ other things like clojure, elixir, rust, and node.js for backends to web/mobile apps. Though, laravel is easiest/fastest most of the time to get a project completed by myself.
The transposition of two words (the first two) seems to make the headline less clickbaity, more clear, and accurately reflect the general opinion in the article. I feel it's a good and fitting title.
I really wish nuclear power would stop getting all this unnecessary hate - apparently in the grand canyon there was a bucket of uranium[1] sitting in a storage closet, this wasn't particularly dangerous but far more dangerous than a well regulated power plant would be. We need to stop being irrational about the power source that may end up saving the planet.

Ahh OK thanks for clarifying that. So by 'foreign' they really mean 'Chinese', and it becomes a little less crazy.
The US allows just about all expressions without prior restraint. Even shouting fire in a theater is allowed speech until a court says otherwise -- after the fact and with due process.

In contrast, censorship is a kind of prior restraint that restricts speech in the absence of judicial review or due process contrary to the rule of law.
Well, just to nitpick, seconds do vary in comparative length from reference frame to reference frame...and that actually does start to matter in global computing.
Yup! We know their software was being used (in the case of pegasus) against human rights activists in the UAE.

We know that they literally sent disguised detectives to "interview" human rights activists and security researches at Citizen Lab in Canada (U of Toronto).

I can't imagine working for a company like this.
Based upon my 24 years of experience using Cisco gear I would strongly lean towards lousy QA.
Your premise only works if all nations are the same, all goals of all nations are the same, and all nations are all peaceful and allied, no nations ever compete, and there are no military threats ever. That isn't true of course. You'll notice I didn't say anything about one nation being good or evil, rather, it's about the actual reality of the situation: the US and China are going to be strategic competitors indefinitely, not pals, not close allies. The same holds true for the US and Russia. Nothing is going to fundamentally change about that, period. These nations are permanent rivals, so long as their stature is what it is.

China has openly touted that their intention is global dominance (in all regards, including military, economic and technology). They haven't been shy about it for a long time. Given their economic and military scale today, you have to take that very seriously.

The US spends anywhere from 100% to 150% more on its military than what China does. That's mostly a difference in salary expenses in the US vs China. In properly adjusted terms, China is already matching or exceeding the US on military spending right now.[1] What will it look like when their economy is another 50% larger? How are the smaller, weaker nations in Asia going to deal with China if they're already annexing territory the size of France in the region? And then, in theory at least, their military is going to get drastically stronger.

A large amount of future global economic expansion will occur in Asia. So when you combine those two points, again, you have to treat the rise of China as a very serious matter for economic and military security if you're a superpower with outsized global interests as in the case of the US. That also goes for countries all over the globe that deal with China locally, and especially in Asia. Two of the best and most prosperous US allies are Japan and South Korea, who are also two of the world's largest economies. The US has an enormous vested interest in their well-being.

It makes no sense - no matter what you believe about the US or China - to pretend that the US should just treat China like they're another random smaller nation of no concern or special consideration. The exact opposite is the case. The US and China are going to compete at most things and it will split the world in half.

There's an initiative in Guatemala where land owners are paid an amount of money every year for each acre of their land that they reforest.

Naturally, land owners immediately started clear-cutting virgin rainforest, selling the lumber, and then collecting a payout from the government for planting pine trees that they'll raise for 10 years before they'll cut them down for lumber too.
Nice. I would really like to talk to you more about your experiences through this process.
I mean yeah I get the immediate fear monger response to the contrary a headline like this is meant to illicit, but... nuclear power plants are already built but private companies. Disney clearly has the capitol and I can think of no better company to run a nuclear power plant than disney! Think of their proven track record and commitment to maintence, and the culture that inevitably has had to subsequintly evolve to maintain that commitment to maintenance. Seriously there’s not another company like them that’s even in the same ballpark as to the level to attention to detail that they’ve been able to pull off for over half a century!
Why don't startups list valuations along with funding amounts to the press?
Why is "map an array with a function" unintuitive but "filter an array with a function" isn't?
Bless your heart.

It was actually a trick question: you cannot tell me what “violent extremism” means in this context, because you don’t know. You don’t know because you’re not the one who gets to decide.

The only definition that matters is the one held by whoever will be deciding what gets censored and what doesn’t.

How might your political adversaries choose to apply a filter on “violent extremism”? I could easily see claims arising that abortions are both violent and extreme, and that pro-choice material is therefore “violent extremist” content. That’s probably not what the people behind this agreement had in mind, but at the end of the day, that doesn’t make much difference.
> It created the Reedy Creek Improvement District, making Disney World its own tightly controlled governmental entity with its own laws. Disney has the power, for example, to create its own police force, even though it hasn’t so far.

It has, however, created its own Fire Department.
Disney was a great genius, and his charter city was extremely ambitious. It is amazing how far he got. I think he may have succeeded if he had lived.

EPCOT is an insult to his vision.
Humans have a choice. Captive animals don't.
I would be interested to know what the technical difficulties are in scrubbing a banned video, and all derivatives, from a Facebook.

Are there practical AI/video analysis techniques to detect that a video contains a fragment of another video? Surely.

>why do people sue? Because of the ridiculous cost of healthcare. At any given public school, how many of those kids' parents have $15k - $50k to cover an orthopedic injury, ambulance/ER/surgery/overnight hospital bill ?

It's not always the parents. Sometimes the insurance company will sue to recover costs.
I am vegetarian - I find it a nice balance between the two. In your example, drop the chicken, add some salsa and another kind of bean (whole black?). For extra fun, replace the chicken prep with mushrooms or tofu.
I have a question! What's with all the preformatted widescreen text? Why not just use plain text and let it wrap?
I think both your comment and your parent poster’s comments make sense.
the inclusivity types don't really play a role in these types of attack (until you get to a very practical stage where this might matter), not least because there are other sidechannels that can be exploited.
an inclusive llc is just convenient.

that said, some newer Intel LLCs are non-inclusive, and amd changed its cache relations as well in ryzen
And for Slashdot when it did so as well.

Seriously, we have nearly 20 years of evidence at this point showing that, if you associate something with users’ online identities that looks like a score, they will treat it as such and start looking for ways to outscore everyone else.
It isn't satisfying without the chicken? The 'high calorie' aspect won't change too much... There are quite a few fake-meat takes on chicken out there, I don't miss meat so I tend to avoid them, but they exist.

Why Facebook and Google Ads measurements are all wrong
Problems that people have that can be turned into meaningful businesses
Hi everyone. I have been aggregating a weekly list(http://houston.substack.com) of interesting problems that people have shared that if solved might turn into great businesses. A couple of interesting things have repeatedly come up and I thought HN might find them interesting. Here's what seem to have resonated the most with people:

1. I wish the startup I work at allowed me to choose my own perks

"A lot of the office perks I get at work are kind of useless. I wish that I could choose my own perks like free Spotify and Netflix rather than some obscure 'wellness benefit' that I have to remember to expense to get a reimbursement."

2. There's no good software for managing a campaign and running for office.

If you're someone young like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, it's hard to figure out how to run for office and manage a campaign. NationBuilder is the legacy player in the space you can tell it's not a mobile or video native product (doesn't natively support YouTube, Insta, Snapchat, etc.). Another problem is that this software costs some real money so playing around with the business model might unlock substantial value (e.g., charge a % of $ raised).

3. A dedicated social network for memes is something that doesn't exist

My Instagram is now a basically feed of memes but Instagram itself was not built for this purpose. It’s impossible to create memes on Instagram so creators use other tools, import them to Insta and do a similar process for people that send them memes to upload to their accounts. I think 9gag might have been too early to the game but right now feels like the perfect time.

4. We need a way to process cannabis payments! Processing cannabis payments is too bureaucratic

"I just found out that Stripe will not process CBD payments. I love Stripe, and sure there are many reasons this is the case. But doesn’t this seem crazy in 2019? I can buy CBD products at almost every corner store in Los Angeles, including CVS and Walgreens."
Maybe, but not necessarily.

When I price out eg contractors, I know roughly what a senior SE should cost. Where I live, that's $150/hour.

If you come in at $75, I don't assume you're a bargain. I assume there's something wrong with you. Either you're not good, or are just starting out, or whatever the case may be.

In this case, just like I bet the tailor, the point isn't paying more for status. The point is that a service should cost X, so someone going way under cost worries the buyer.
How about instead of Go Vegan....

Go eat how you think you should eat. Maybe that includes insects. Maybe that includes steak once a month. Maybe it includes eggs but not milk. Make up your own mind and don't feel limited by the tiny number of established labels. They each come with their own complicated caveats and connotations. And they each demand, by virtue of their established labels, strict adherence to someone else's ideology.

Go make up your own ideology.
in some online circles, there was a call to ban 8chan because the terrorist posted there. Do you support banning that website because terrorists used it? Then do you support banning facebook for the same reason? Where does it stop? Or do you recommend just taking down individual posts ?
At this point, why not just use a virtual machine? We've come full circle!
> 10-30ms is a bit optimistic, depending on how large you define a geography.

Just checked my fiber connection and it has 2ms of latency. google.com is 18ms away. I'm in Portugal and seem to be routed to a Google server 400+ km away in Spain. So my memory of playing on 10-20ms to local servers in Portugal is probably accurate. Covering the US or the EU with enough servers so everyone is never more than 30ms away seems feasible. Within easy reach of a startup with just ~50 VMs across different cloud provider locations and for popular games easy for users to setup regional servers themselves.
just an anecdote about UTC vs GPS time. GPS time doesn't have leap seconds.

So my team was testing a system with some devices, one of which was a GPS and the main system had UTC from NTP. We had a big display that showed all our data including both times, so we could monitor what was going on. So the two displayed times were 13 seconds apart (the number of leap seconds then). Our program manager was a smart guy but gaffe prone. So in a demonstration of our system he blurted out to the whole room of observers, 'hey something is wrong, those two times are different'. We cringed and explained, but it sounded like we were covering up an error. But he would go on to repeat the gaffe again to a different group.
A yearly review of all of the laws would be labour intensive (read expensive). Governments will simply say "reviewing all the laws means we have to raise taxes to pay for the review, so instead we're going to do a blanket refresh on all laws"
I remember reading somewhere an idea about splitting the legislature into one chamber which solely creates laws, and another which solely sunsets them.

I don't know enough about civics to say if that is a good idea or not, but I certainly found it interesting.
