Yeah the bigger problem is taking video footage of a politician, and then going frame by frame to find the most unflattering possible depiction of them (usually right after a cough or a sneeze) so you can use it to "support" your trash click bait headline. No deep fakes needed - you can make anyone look like a raving lunatic if you take the frame right before a sneeze.
There is The Fakening channel on YouTube that does this - clearly labeled fake: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC5D-8hVVwLB0DNrcSBqoVxg
It sounds like you already have a "budget" that you stick to. I personally am frugal like you and have a budget that I roughly stick to.

As jppope points out, figuring out need vs want is really important and checking back on you "budget" monthly really helps.

If you don't do this already, don't keep your checking and savings mixed. Keep checking at a "zero-balance" which would be something where if a paycheck didn't come through you could pay your highest debt while a transfer from your emergency fund came through.

This keeps you feeling like you don't have money to spend and since your savings/emergency fund aren't in views eye, you don't feel the need to spend it.

From a hobbyist developer perspective, EQ is very interesting. Unlike most companies, EQ/Sony/Daybreak has allowed emulators (privately run servers) for a very long time. They have come out publicly and made written statements that it’s ok, they do not have an adversarial relationship. As a result, there is a very active emu community, you can find the EQEmu source code and tools on github, and there are emu servers that have been around for well over a decade (ex Project 1999). If you have ever been interested in running your own online world, it’s not a bad place to start. Some people run very authentic servers, others create entirely new experiences with custom graphics, classes, combat systems, quests, etc (Shards of Dalaya). There is also a very active bot maker community, for example with macroquest and redguides. To the point that I have seen individual operators control 20+ character armies to defeat raid encounters singlehandedly. Some very advanced scripting and tooling required. In some ways the company learned from the emu scene, they saw that people wanted a return to the classic game, so they released time locked progression servers that have been very popular. If you can get past the clunky bits from 20 years ago, there’s still some fun and interesting stuff going on with EQ.
I've changed my phone number more often than my mail account, and for really important stuff recovery over phone is regularly considered bad because it's to easy to compromise. It also isn't that great internationally.
A Man Who Told America the Truth About D-Day
This is a highly sexist view. Girls are just as merciless, often moreso, but will often stick more to psychological abuse. You can ignore this bullying all you want, but it is the new tactic for a few decades now.

The bully doesn't have to touch their target. They just need to psychologically abuse them until they get a physical reaction out of their target. Then zero tolerance comes in and the target is punished. The bully gets off free and the message is pounded home: You are not allowed to question or react to the bullies cruelty. That is the consequence of their "zero tolerance" and of your sexist viewpoint toward the bullying requiring physical acts.

It is a zero tolerance for victims alone and high tolerance for psychological abuse that is favored by girls.
GEDMatch Now Requires Opt-In for LE Usage
I might have one like that, unless you mean the non-verbal type. He has to go soon, probably age 20 at the end of summer. He did just barely manage an AA degree, so perhaps he is better off than yours. He is sometimes wildly inappropriate.

He has to go for lots of reasons. One is that I'll have 11 other kids to devote my resources to. Another is that a bit more of a push might get him to fly. Another is that I've seen my two youngest brothers still living with my parents, and it horrifies me. While one of my brothers has an excuse (needs watching for schizophrenia medication), the younger of the two has no excuse: over 30, has an MS in computer science, badly addicted to video games.

The video games really do provide an escape from activities that would require learning social skills. If your social skills are bad, you might want that escape, but that isn't making the situation any better.
Where is the audio coming from? If that was computer manufactured that was pretty good because it sounded very natural

Including men in meetings to induce decent behavior from other men
The problem with deep fakes is a hostile nation taking over your phone/facetime calls and sounding exactly like your own parents. How can you tell if they can do it in real time? A bad actor could get you to do some really bad things.

Killing? What are you talking about? Yet-larger? What data are you basing this on?
That person posted the image/information willingly knowing they lose all control over how it is used and who it is seen by.

This seems like a dangerous precedent. There have been cases where images of recognisable people that were made available with some liberal licence were then used as part of marketing for deeply offensive campaigns or illegal activities, for example.

I don't think it's reasonable to say that anyone who volunteered to let others use their image for general purposes should automatically accept the kind of portrayal that would result in a defamation lawsuit in other contexts. You can call them naive for not anticipating nasty people doing that with their image, but naivety isn't a crime. Meanwhile, being portrayed deliberately and without warning as a child abuser or a supporter of a highly unpopular politician or a drug addict or a terrorism suspect could have profound and immediate consequences for the subject, who obviously didn't intend to consent to that and may have no idea it has been done until the reality catches up to them.
Indeed, taking one idea at a time seriously leads to crazy conclusions. You have to take all the ideas you believe seriously.

If you took seriously the one idea that "the purpose of human life is to produce more humans" [SolaceQuantum below], you should be trying to have as many children as possible. For a male with upper-middle class resources, 1000 children should be achievable. (You don't have to raise them, just "produce" them.) A billionaire with strong organizational skills might manage 10^6 children.

This conflicts with the (unstated) idea that children should be raised well, in a nurturing environment with good parenting. Also, that overpopulation is bad. And that other people have an equal right to children. And ...

So I don't think you need epistemic helplessness. You just need a broad perspective.
Nope!
This is also why weed in any federal building is a federal crime. Probably a bad idea to smoke weed in a national park too.
Julian Assange hasn't been charged with 'publishing classified information' either. In both Australia and the US you can be prosecuted for participating in another's crime of leaking classified information. The question is, what qualifies as participation (aiding, conspiracy, etc), and is there an express or implied exception for the activities of the publisher in question?
As Walmart turns to robots, it’s the human workers who feel like machines
I remember there was some oil companies-backed anti-Tesla propaganda image a while ago showing the "environmental disaster a lithium mine creates," which went viral for a bit. It was, I think, a tar sands mine.

There's no way deepfake videos won't make the propaganda situation worse, at least for a while.
We sell a subscription for premium features that are available on all devices and make engineers more productive. Our next step is a plan for teams where we want to enable collaboration, e.g., sysadmins quite often maintain the same infrastructure so they should have one source of truth of the current state(what servers do we have? what are the recent changes?).
Indeed, none of these cameras need to be super crisp, although DCAM-3 (the deployable camera) is both a navigational tool and expected to provide some scientific insight. It was used to monitor the impact from the crater they created for the next sample, while Hayabusa 2 was safely on the other side of the asteroid: https://twitter.com/haya2e_jaxa/status/1114112619844005889?l.... That thread also has a shot from one of their navigation cameras, which apparently has a flash.

I love how many deployable objects this spacecraft is carrying, the target markers included. The number of moving parts must be staggering! (I wonder if they charge over USB? :b). JAXA has really amazed me with how resilient their missions have been. (The first Hayabusa limped back with a sample after a bunch of engine failures; their Venus probe failed to enter Venus's orbit, spent 5 years orbiting the sun, then tried again and worked). There's clearly a mountain of potential over there, so it's a treat to see this one go so perfectly smoothly :)
Yikes, yeah. The War of the Worlds broadcast panic was an accident, too. Imagine an engineered panic on that scale. Especially if it was released through a trusted news source, by either hackery or social engineering.
You don't need a Mac. RoR works perfect on Linux as well.
Personally, I tend to get the impression I might not actually enjoy the work at a company that concentrates on low-level questions like that.

I happen to like JS and node a lot, for very pragmatic reasons. I've also dabbled in Go and Rust for equally pragmatic reasons. It does help to understand some of the things under the covers when you need them. That said, for a LOT of jobs, code that works and is business rule correct is more important than if it takes a blink of an eye or three.

I tend to prefer a first pass in node/js, and then break things off or optimize as needed in practice. Scale !== raw performance and is often more important.

As it’s used, “I could care less” works as a sarcastic statement much better than “I couldn’t care less” as a literal one. Generally it’s possible for me to care less about some minute difference, but in absolute terms I don’t care enough for it to matter.

Paying for the product isn't the issue, the company in the DO debacle was happy to pay - support is the issue. I pay Amazon to send me stuff, but I'd honestly be happy to pay them $5 to have my emails to support read & replied to by a person that doesn't have to rely on a low tier auto translate.

I understand that support is expensive, and especially for ad financed or cheap products, having an agent look into something can quickly cost more than you'll ever make off that customer. If the customer pays for support, support becomes a product and the company doesn't have to treat support as a profit-killer (that is, automate it, make it annoying for the customer so he avoids it, and staff it with the cheapest available labor creating a high fluctuation because of bad working conditions).
This is so impressively close to the early stages of automation in the novella Manna by Marshall Brain [1] that it almost seems like Wal-Mart executives used it as a playbook...

Yes, I realize that and photoshopping got a bunch of press for being used on modelling pictures to "enhance" the models before putting them in magazines. These deepfakes will probably be used to do some other similar things as well. My point was that deepfakes aren't anything new and we already have the tools to analyze them. Those tools just aren't computer programs, they are people posting videos on youtube going pixel-by-pixel to show how a certain photo was doctored. After all, a video is just a series of photographs.

I think writing computer programs designed to spot these deepfake videos would be very helpful as the volume of doctored videos increases, but this isn't some disruptive technology (at least for people trying to deceive others).
Ideally that’s a two way street, with driver that really want to talk to clients not accepting silent drives and vice versa.

Otherwise, just as talking to people seem to have helped you a lot, for other people not having to talk is also a godsend. I think it’s fine to not understand everyone’s motives or functionning, as long as their needs are met somehow.
I relocated out of the bay area in 2016-2017 and it was the happiest year of my adult life. I think Silicon Valley has a zero sum culture and having returned here for personal reasons but otherwise against my best judgment, I cannot wait to GTFO for keeps.

I am really really good (perhaps top 10 or so worldwide) at one thing, and pretty good at a couple other things. If I didn't have that, I think I would feel utterly worthless in 2019. If I extrapolate to most of America, wow, I get why they elected who they elected.

Something has gone very wrong here. And I am stymied as to how to fix it because neither political party, which gets to set the agenda every 4 years, seems to grasp what has gone wrong.

But when I travel abroad, I am happy. I see can-do cultures that have far less than western nations, but are so inspiringly optimistic to do more, that I don't want to come back to America. I want to set down roots and help them knock it out of the park. And I am getting close to doing exactly that. Doing so would shatter my personal life, but I suspect if 2020 continues what we started in 2016, I will follow through on what my inner voice is telling me to do.
Seconded. I have those settings turned off for a reason.

If Trips didn't need them to read my email and parse out the flight/hotel reservations, then this doesn't either.

All of these things make it easier to mass-produce bullshit at low cost.

I'm pretty sure I know people who have been convinced by meme quotes. A headshot of a politician they don't like, with text overlaid, which they never said. People are outraged! And never bother to inspect the source.

Anything that makes it easier to lie about what someone said or did, or makes it harder to disprove... They're all politically weaponized, already.

Look at the "drunk pelosi" video.
$10/mo * 12 = $120/yr and still paying $60/game for AAA. Alternatively, there is supposed to be a "basic" option coming in 2020 with no subscription fee where you just pay for each game but then what happens when Google gives Stadia the axe? Will users be able to claim licenses or local copies of games they paid for?

I mean that race is a social construct. Who is and isn't what race is set by society and it changes.

The definition of racism I'm using isn't simply prejudice, it's a system of oppression on the basis of race. Which, as I said above, is a social construct. Modern racism and the general idea of the current races was created out of European colonialism and racialized slavery. In America it was mostly racialized slavery. The Wikipedia article you mentioned describes this. That article says the word race itself is modern and wasn't used as it currently is until the 16th century.
Being silent in the absence of anything noteworthy to talk about is exactly the healthy reprieve some people are looking for. I personally find it absolutely taxing to talk about the weather or the traffic because I just don't enjoy talking for the sake of talking and I shouldn't be pressured to meet an arbitrary social expectation I have no interest in.

I disagree. The lesson here is: you teach the students how to protect their anonymity.
For example, would you ever sign your name to some rude graffiti/foul language you drew in the boys/girls bathroom stall at school? Of course not! Why is online any different?
I don't nessecarily have an issue with surveillance systems as they act as force multipliers for all sorts of noble causes.

Surveillance systems should strictly be used for physical safety, anti-vandalism, and loss prevention purposes. You're not preparing kids to succeed by micromanaging them from behind a series of monitors. At all. People who intend to use the system to punish the kids for swearing by no means should be allowed access. The teachers and even the principal really shouldn't even have access to reduce the temptation to abuse the surveillance system. If they keep getting access the surveillance system should be thrown in the trash.

Bosses who use similar systems to keep their employees working can also expect nothing better than mediocrity and a widespread CYA mentality.

As I posted in

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20119491

the start is a person who feels anxiety from their realization that alone they are vulnerable to the hostile forces of nature and society. "Alone" is essentially as in this thread. Then how to respond? From Fromm, love of god is one possible response -- some people suppress a lot anxiety that way and, maybe, have some forms of bonding that can help them in practical ways. Another response is love of spouse -- that's what's central in this thread. A third response is to join a group, that might tribal in some sense, political, religious, etc. -- but being in the group can help do something, hopefully productive, about the aloneness, vulnerability, and anxiety.

A biggie point is Fromm's explanation of love of spouse as a response to the anxiety and not much like the pop culture version of love. To be blunt, porn is Fromm's (iv) and misses all of the benefits of his (i) to (iii). What they do in the porn shots is useless -- the actors don't even pay attention to each other, no kissing, bonding. It does nothing good and, of course, can do harm.

Fromm's book is short. Get some views of some of the clinical psychology or marriage counseling communities. Then, since the book is so short, just read the thing.

I'm just passing along what I learned paying full tuition, trying desperately to save the life of my wife, which I failed to do. Don't take my advice -- ask others as I suggested. Then, did I mention, the book is short? Again, did I mention that won't find Fromm's ideas in pop culture.
I'm sure SmartOS is very reliable once you get it up and running, but "easier to use" than Linux is one of the most "[citation needed]" comments I've seen on HN in a while. Perhaps for folks who've had long familiarity with Solaris, it's easy-peasy, but I never found an OpenSolaris distribution/derivative that was remotely friendly to Solaris newbies.
I don't think anyone won the last challenge, which was for making a mechanical camera, because they kept extending the deadline. The requirements for the camera they wanted were pretty stringent. If they were willing to accept different resolutions image shapes then a hacked antique IR camera would win. Old IR cameras mechanically raster scanned a single detector over a scene fast enough for 15 fps video.

Sadly my time is like all taken up and Rust skills are zero but I'd love to contribute to such a cause for sure.
The article (and my comment) suggests a possible link because both projects (1) are so advanced that only a very elite calibre of developer could have produced them; (2) used the same language; (3) had similar ideologies/goals; and (4) had an author who insisted on complete anonymity.

It's no smoking gun but it's certainly interesting.

>It would be like trying to draw a link between a real person and a pseudonymous identity because both of them were known to have an iPhone.

Ridiculous. Having an iPhone is exceedingly common. Having the above mentioned qualities in common, while not unheard of, is certainly rare.
