There's undeniably a freedom tradeoff here as facial recognition systems expand and many corporations and governments gain access to millions of capable sensors sending this data.

I can't think of a single use case where doing this in the cloud is a worthwhile tradeoff. If you want to do this locally, sure, I can see many silly use cases for it, but as soon as you start shipping that data off to say... Amazon, things get pretty sketchy pretty fast in my book. So while I agree there are good use cases for facial recognition, I feel these should never be implemented on centralized services.
Thanks for pointing this out. The device instantly reminded me of the Teenage Engineering products, but I didn't read thoroughly.
For the MTA specifically it isn't a matter of money. They are so insanely inefficient and poorly run that the entire NY + NYC budget wouldn't be enough without serious reform.

The idea of SE as working class is from categorization based on labor relations, not on income.

In a Marxist-theoretic framework, for example, SE are clearly working class.
If you believe that expecting people to have a modicum of decency and some moral sense is akin to wanting cash banned, I feel bad for you.

The comment I was replying to was implying that in the absence of laws banks would have no incentive other than super humanitarianism for preventing obvious money laundering. That's beyond potential misuse. That's profiting of a crime out of pure greed. I know cynicism is currently fashionable but I would still expect most people to find that questionable.
$16 × 30 days would be $480/month. Expensive for commuting, but cheaper than most apartments even in the cheaper parts of the US, let alone (surely) London.
that might be true but don't you realize that those titled themselves are offensive? because the books weren't for children equitably but for boys.

A land mine can only be a landmine.

A hammer can build and destroy.

So it makes sense to ban mines completely, as there is no humane use case.

But for facial recognition, I do see valid use cases. So yes, I do agree with OP and rather have the bad use cases banned/regulated.

And your metric:
"If everyone used this technology would we live in a desirable world?"

Totally depends on how it is used. I do see a potential world with facial recognition software and not be a dystopia. I mean, is all Sci-Fi now considered Dystopia?

How can for example robots really interact with humans without that technology?

The vast majority of people in a ZIP code are not homeowners or leaseholders. You're neglecting most family members and a plethora of other people that aren't mobile, also that ZIP codes can be incredibly stratified. Households aren't predictable particles in a simulator, either: the real world isn't some SimCity simulation where dumb people go to shitty schools, get shitty jobs, live in shitty neighborhoods and therefore everyone in a shitty neighborhood or shitty job is consequently dumb.

I think you're attempting to use ZIP code as a proxy for socioeconomic class, and then presuming a correlation between intelligence and socioeconomic class. It's a really simplistic model that seems intuitive but has a lot of problems if you're using it to judge real live human beings and/or make policy decisions.
In New York, for the subway, you pay your fair (usually with a swipe card) before you even get on the platform, and as long as you don't leave through the exit gates, you're free to transfer at any stop. They have no idea when you get off, and the fair is the same no matter where you're going.
For $150 you get the console and 12 games. That's not too bad.
My feelings are not positive on this one. Trying to be for the sake of the guys making this but here is my problem...besides being very let down that the crank has nothing to do with charging, the price is just too much. Canadian here so 150USD is just over 200$CAD. For 200$ I can very easily pick up a used ipad or iphone and my kids would love to have either one of those. They play lots of games, they watch videos, they surf the internet, they make video calls, and 100 other uses I am sure. So though this device might be cool, it would be a pretty hard sell for me and my kids. The value just doesn't seem to be worth it.
There are very, very few moral applications of facial recognition. Logging into your phone/laptop or assisting people with prosopagnosia, I guess. Everything else basically enables mass surveillance.

It is frankly astonishing, and an exemplar of technologist naivete, that so much effort was (and continues to be) dumped into developing this technology.
> An average cremation takes 28 gallons of fuel.

That's not a whole lot. The fuel cost of everyone flying or driving out to the funeral probably dwarfs it.

Of course, we could make cremation more efficient if we didn't want to generate ashes for people to take home, but that's a pretty cheap cost for the emotional value.

Having lived in LA for 15 years I met and became friends with some writers. I can't speak for the BBT writers but a lot, if not most, of the writers I met were pretty nerdy. Sometimes you need to write what makes your audience laugh rather than what makes you laugh. They earn a paycheck just like the rest of us.

I couldn't watch it due to the laugh track.

The subway is a flat fare, $2.75 no matter how long you ride or how many transfers you make. Not to mention it's really easy to get on without paying.

As for why you're allowed to stay at the end of the line -- it's probably a mix of liberal policy, lack of manpower, and general "not my problem" attitude.
As one of the debaters you don't get to decide whose argument is more persuasive. Putting that aside, that article doesn't say the oppression of homosexuals was for religious reasons, in fact, it says the opposite:

> Government attempts at preventing homosexual practices began in the 18th century, with Tsar Peter the Great banning homosexual relations in the armed forces in 1716 as a part of his attempt to modernise the country.

"as a part of his attempt to modernise", not for religious reasons. The article repeats the same point later: "The prohibition on sodomy was part of a larger reform movement designed to modernize Russia"

> [Under the atheist communists] gay people were still persecuted and sacked from their jobs for being 'homosexuals'. In 1933, the Soviet government under the leadership of Joseph Stalin recriminalised homosexual activity with punishments of up to five years' hard labour. A 1934 article in the new Criminal Code outlawed 'homosexuality'.[5] Following Stalin's death, there was a liberalisation of attitudes toward sexual issues in the Soviet Union, but homosexual acts remained illegal.

...and that was under an atheist regime.

Why do people prefer to do that? I’m genuinely curious as I’ve significantly reduced my Amazon usage besides for buying niche programming books (otherwise I hit my local bookstore and a physical retailer for everything else).
He mentioned Visual Studio Code; have people used Code Server on an iPad? It worked surprisingly well on Safari for Mac (not being Chrome) when I tried it.

I've considered getting an iPad for note taking. It seems a bit overkill for... note taking. And I'm not sure what the experience is like compared to pen and paper. But I hate keeping notebooks organized, have them not be searchable, etc.
It is the Big Gorilla, the silverback if you like. For other distros that would be even more confusing when some of their tools will be ported there.

Aww, the HN crowd couldn't take a pinch of salt in their sugary sweet dream.

Most cemeteries are open to the public so if they are in a city they are like parks and are very nice to have. I guess my comment is that the land a cemeteries takes up is not likely to be any more prime than any other land in a city.
The package was removed in Fedora 29, released October 2018.
The problem is that they're not really swappable. So, effectively it is all one system(d).
Parent was talking about parking spare cash, so buying up bonds and selling them as an alternative to something like a money market account. Although for Tesla, it would be an alternative to paying down their ABL.

A company that is cash flow positive and is looking for investment opportunities simply does not have bonds that yield 9%. Not in this millennium.

In any case, I don't think you really hit on the reason not to do this. If you park your working capital in your own bonds, they're going to take a haircut when times get even worse, which is exactly when you'd be liquidating more of them.

This could trivially turn in to an outright death spiral unless further funds can be raised from elsewhere. Probably not the bond market!
This has been a long time coming and I'm surprised it's taken until 2019. A better time to have done this would have been back at the 2-3 migration; I'm not sure the community will be able to survive another transition like that, but hopefully lessons have been learned from the previous schism. A step in the right direction for sure!
I’m a little unclear on terraform in practice.

As you supposed to download this, use it’s language and syntax which is all it’s own thing, to define you services and then export that to a YAML setup that AWS CloudFormation (for example) is expecting?

I assume there are reasons I wouldn’t just define it myself in YAML directly?
Crash data recorders typically store ~5 seconds of control inputs and are designed to survive a crash. This evidence can either hurt or help you. What should be done here?
I honestly don’t think any of the social issues you mention are accepted wholeheartedly by society. And I also don’t think the regulations you talk about are generally rejected by society. Just here on HN you can see how heated the discussion gets about regulating amazon. I’m pretty sure the government already has the power to fine or breakup businesses that brazenly break the law, but the system isn’t efficient because businesses can argue their case in court. I think my point is these problems aren’t trivial and your solution is right at a high level, but actually implementing it in a way that is fair is really difficult.
That's a ridiculous assertion. In most major cities, you don't buy "tickets" for public transportation (except maybe light rail). Everything is fare based (used to be token based, but have mainly switched to cards). You pay the fare, you ride the subway or the trolley or the bus until you get off. The fare is the same no matter how far you are going. Most of these things travel in loops. You get to the end of the line, it either turns around, or just goes in the opposite direction.
This was a good Twitter thread on that topic from a couple of weeks ago: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1126531195666411521.html
> What matters is lawfulness and what remains lawful

To expand on that idea - if something is both lawful and profitable, you have to have an almost absolute consensus amongst the people capable of doing it that it should not be done. Otherwise, potentially even if 1 person thinks it is fine, then they will be the one to do it.

Typically this is the main strength of the economic system - jobs that people don't want to do get allocated to the person who has the least problem with doing it.

The threat here was never the development of the technology - it is obvious that it is coming - the issue here is government demand. A corporation can only do so much with my face that annoys me - the government on the other hand can make life really miserable.
It's because there is no "end of the line". It's just another stop. These things are essentially infinite loops.

The money is there, we have the largest federal budget on the planet. It’s just tied up in endless wars, incarcerations, and pork barrel projects. And those things individually aren’t necessarily bad but we do it with such largesse it leaves very little room for anything else. The way our politics work is no one can plan multi decade projects if you can’t do it in one term then don’t bother.
This. There are plenty of backward incompatible changes in every minor version bump.
From your link:

>"But a new Danish study failed to confirm these findings. The paper, published in February 2016 in the journal Building and Environment, reports no cognitive decline even when subjects breathed air containing 5,000 ppm carbon dioxide."

>"Even scientists who have found an effect say more research is needed before they are convinced that modest amounts of carbon dioxide are a public health problem. Satish says that, so far, nobody even knows by what biological mechanism carbon dioxide might dim the brains of test subjects."

I feel like people are way too readily accepting this CO2 cognitive decline thing. There are other comments here saying that we know CO2 causes cognitive decline.

OS/2 for me.
This is EXACTLY what I think.
While I hate the lack of reliability in the latest macbooks, I would say that the other manufacters are not doing anything better at all. The XPS 15 is full of issues and Dell doesn't even acknowledge them, the XPS 13 has basically everything soldered on apart from the SSD and the Thinkpad is going that way as well (just look at the latest X1 carbon and T490s). The Surface devices are just as expensive as the macbooks and just as impossible to repair.
I won't even consider Asus/Acer because in my opinion they simply put junk conponents (with junk drivers) in their products and they're not reliable at all, even in the high price range.
What's funny is that if you actually look at the thermal behaviour of thin and light laptops (go on notebookcheck.com), you'll notice that the MBP 15 is one of the best when compared to the XPS 15, X1 Extreme, Zenbook 15 Pro, etc., And yet everyone only complains about the mac.
(Furthermore, I still find macOS superior to Windows 10, even if I'm a long time Windows user, but that's about personal tastes.)
Personally, I've just stoppped listening to journalists, youtubers or whatever, I just read the reviews and look at the graphs on notebookcheck.com and search for potential issues on reddit/other speficis forums.

audioop is an interesting little thingy.

For example-- why does "add" add two fragments, but "mul" multiplies one fragment by a scalar value? Was the assumption that "mul" will probably just be used for attenuation?

It would be fun to build a tk-based audio app around audioop for the sole purpose of complaining about the deprecation of this module. :)
Windows Zero-Day Drops on Twitter, Developer Promises 4 More
I would argue that collecting keys from all of the user's browsers and dumping the database is more difficult than dumping the database alone, and that makes it worth doing.

If as Fred my window of opportunity before I'm detected is small, I might only be able to get keys from users that are active within a small window. I may have to deal with CDN TTLs just to get my code to those users in the first place. The deployment setup might make it a little harder to change the code than just modifying a plaintext file on disk on the server (personally the project I'm working on right now packs static assets into the server binary making them easy enough for Eve to update, but a bit more effort for Fred). In more complex scenarios, there may be many things standing between Fred and injecting code into the browser that aren't in the way of reading the database.

It really depends on the specifics of the threat that you're modeling for and how your environment works. For example, if we only focus on scenarios in which we are concerned about an attacker that has wholly compromised the service as you are describing here, we would similarly conclude that TLS serves no purpose as the attacker is already receiving the decrypted data at the other end of the pipe.

Actually, support for XP for POS terminals was terminated on 2019-04-09, that is, less than 2 months ago.
One may argue that a POS connected to the Internet would be a no-no, but the hack that enabled faking normal XP installs as POS devices to keep getting updates has been well known for years, and just a registry key away, so the number of connected XP/"POS" devices might well be much higher than expected.

Another one was Guitar Hero for the DS and i think there was one with a light sensor for the GB?

This article seems to imply without coming out and saying it that Alan has inflated his own historical importance or claimed to invent things he didn't. But anyone familiar with even a small portion of his writing and speaking knows how eagerly and thoroughly he gives credit to others, including Nygaard and Dahl.

There's no controversy here, why create it?

I’ll respond too, since I agree with the guy you’re responding to.

By and large, I distrust American cops. I’ve had some bad experiences with them (though never catastrophic) but I’m well-aware that some people have had it far worse.

I don’t have a problem with facial recognition software being used by police. I have concerns about equipping police with MRAP vehicles, flashbangs, tasers, body armor, rifles, tear gas, and a few dozen other things, but not facial recognition. Why should I be concerned?

Sorry, that was unclear. I agree with you wholeheartedly about the advantages of buying things online and getting them delivered; I should have asked why people stand the Amazon tax when there’s so many other options at better prices and equally convenient (including Costco’s online delivery service).
