Yes I am. Seriously, how is this even hard to understand?

Imagine yourself in the situation: you are 20, you go to jail. You are 40, now exonerated. You have no friends, no skills, no job, no money. You are a failure. It's unfixable. You are likely to commit suicide.

The point isn't so much whether a messed up life is still better than no life, the point is that someone upthread glibly asserted that wrongful imprisonment can be reversed. That is a convenient lie. Those years are lost. Forever. Irreversibly.

Still not getting through? Fine, imagine a women spending her third and fourth decade in jail. That means no children. Ever. Is that enough to get the point across that imprisonment causes permanent, irrevocable damage and that it isn't markedly different from capital punishment in this regard?
I think you're confusing prelapsarian yearnings with the innate desire for sustainability & equipoise with the environment.

Ecosystems are not static, and neither are our species' interactions with them, but that doesn't mean that it's naive to strive for solutions which have minimal impact on external systems and by extension other members of our species who depend on them.

The reason we don't have more universal 'economical' story tropes is that most forms of economical thinking are simply bad-faith optimization routines for the benefit of a very few, and contain all sorts of hidden variables which represent the unmet needs of expendable or undesirable members of our own species.

We (as a species) haven't seen a lot of good-faith economical solutions which improve the environment for all without hidden costs paid at the expense of others. When we have seen a significant number of such examples, our tropes will reflect them.

(of perhaps... tropes which point to such solutions threaten the architects of bad-faith economic solutions while unattainable eden paradise tropes do not...)
This looks way too much like Jira.

Assessing Geodiversity Issues in Open Data Sets
If you're a US citizen, the US government already knows enough about you from just your regular stream of activity that makes its way to them—your taxes, any times you've been arrested, etc. So—even disregarding stuff like Prism—they already have a baseline estimate for how trustworthy you are, without needing to do a background check. (Also, they can rely on other partial background checks you've passed in the past, if they have access to them. If you've ever worked with children, or gotten a NEXUS card, they already have all the information they need to determine whether you can work a government job.)

The same cannot be said of foreign citizens (even ones who are permanent residents); to the government's eyes, they're "opaque"—and even background checks run on them would only turn up what their homeland wants the US to turn up. (A background check that could turn up more, wouldn't really be a "background check" any more, but rather espionage, since they'd need to bypass the "public API" of the other government.)
I think Bryan Cantrill put it well in one of his more recent talks. Jepsen reports used to be a lot more fun because projects made grand claims first, and then Jepsen came to actually test than. Now projects run Jepsen ahead of time to qualify their claims so there's less big GOTCHA! moments.

So, less fun but better quality products. A few more years and maybe Jepson won't find many flaws at all as they'll be identified in development using the same tools.
Add to this: Whether the photos in Photos and Drive are your unmodified original image files, or the compressed "high quality" Google Photos ones.
They seem to be spending a lot of money on Stadia, but they spent big on advertising Allo too.

I may be one of the only people on Earth who miss Allo. I started using it with one of my friends when our SMSs kept dropping and we both got addicted to the ability to google things inline and both see the same results. Really added something to the conversation. We also sent a lot of pictures (1000+) so maybe we contributed to it getting shut down.

I expect MS and Sony to eat Google's lunch on Stadia, but we'll see. If it's successful it would be amazing for the linux gaming community, since all games on it would have Vulkan support at some level. I wonder what will happen to the games people bought if it gets shut down.
No friends.

I just recalled it existed and posted it - you can go argue with the people at the company about how their site works.

I would imagine that it's kind of vulnerable to people just ripping the text off if they're not careful.
Who else do you expect to have the best view on the utility of not using a Facebook account other than someone who doesn't use it?

I don't have one. I don't miss it, and am increasingly glad. But I do have the "spouse firewall"; my wife uses it and I get most of the news I need through that, and even by local standards I'm not really a social butterfly, so between the two things, my experience may not be 100% relevant. So there's my science-style "why this data point may not be relevant" disclosure.

But it certainly isn't a "requirement for modern life" or anything. The times I faintly regret maybe not having a Facebook account are separated by many months, it's not like every day I go to do something and alas, my life is degraded because I don't have a Facebook account. It's a rare event, such that I could pretty much recite to you every one from the past 5 years. (All of them are family news, either get-togethers I wouldn't have heard about, or some family news that I ultimately would have heard anyhow and didn't have any action items on either way.)

(There's enough people without a given social account that I'm still yet to encounter the site that only has Facebook authentication. I hear they exist, but they haven't naturally crossed my path yet.)
Because Hacker News is not the real word. I bet most Dropbox customers will love this.
Ask HN: What do you use for a home page (or new-tab page)
When you start a web browser or open a new tab, what is the first thing that you see? Do you use the default for the browser (Firefox Home or Chrome's new tab page)? Do you set it to a specific site (Google.com, Gmail, FB, etc)?

I was playing around with using browsers other than Chrome, and started thinking more about this. Once upon a time we used to have these information-dense portals that would try to show us everything imaginable in one large customizable-in-N-different-ways page. Those (thankfully) fell out of favor. But is there still a place for a more customizable home page?
That’s literally the only reason I picked Google over anyone else. Switching to iCloud I guess. I have mentioned this before - it’s not about privacy. One mistake is what it takes to either them blocking you or you locking yourself out of your account. The only safeguard is to keep a downloaded copy that’s accessible. I do that with Photos+Drive sync. Similarly for email, contacts ...etc. Google is stripping away that.

When certificates become a logistics category of their own, you really do need some monitoring software to warn you when certificates are winding down.

Years ago I worked on a complex code signing system and one set of users were adamant we have alerts starting at 90 days out. It took some convincing to get me to agree it was a priority, but some of my coworkers were never convinced.

Ah, the Mindset -- basically an x86 Amiga released a full year before the actual Amiga -- about which I'd heard some but have never seen (and YouTube has but a single video showing its capabilities). Strange how these old obscure computers get lost to time.
You just said something in general, then replied about "for you".

There are millions of PC gamers and video encoders and multi-workload users. If you're running intense, non-multithreaded workload and need the absolute best without caring about security (Spectre/Meltdown) or cost, go Intel.
Boeing May Never Recover from Its 737 Debacle
Much as I loathe Google's ADHD, I've had more than one female friend call me in a panic after finding out their nudes were ending up on Google Drive with no action on their part and they couldn't get photo upload to turn off and stay off.
Gamers will happily buy it.

I remember paying paying something like $800 for an Athlon 700 MHz CPU (the cartridge one) in 1999.
The standard is already beyond a shadow of a doubt and requires the prosecution, original judge, jury, several rounds of appeals overseen by more judges. After which the governor or president can weigh in.

Humans are fallible and therefore incapable of creating an infallible justice system.

Allowing any death penalty means murdering some number of innocent people to "get" a greater number of bad people who you already have locked up.

So answer the question. How many innocent people are sufficiently low collateral damage and stop pretending we can only execute bad people.
That’s a lot of performance for 749 USD. Building a new workstation / gaming rig in about 18 months time so I will be spoiled for choice by then especially given the used market as these will be old hat by then.
It's well known that reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are used to fend off both infection and non-cooperative host cells i.e. cancerous cells.

But nitric oxide (NO) can spontaneously react to nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate (NO3-), and nitrate can actually be used as an electron acceptor by some bacteria in mouse intestines. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3705454/)

The article points out that wasps transfer protective bacteria to their larvae, so it could have been that secreting NO is really just an indirect way of cultivating more of these helpful bacteria. However, they showed that the protective effect against mold was the same whether or not nitrate was present, which shows that the mechanism really is direct killing of the mold by the eggs themselves!
Because the Hong Kongers had a belief in Basic Law. They had a belief in the universal human right to that No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. This the Communist Party of China rejects.

The Hong Kongers believe that All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.
This the Communist Party of China rejects.

They believe that Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.
This the Communist Party of China rejects.

They make these protests because they stand for human rights that the CPC rejects. They wish to make it known to the CPC and to the world what they stand for. They may eventually fall to the cruelty of the CPC, but not just yet.

Sounds like transformers have a narrow operating temperature range.

Excerpt:

Transformers can be particularly vulnerable, especially the equipment located in cooler areas that typically aren’t prone to vicious heat waves that cause temperatures to soar to 100 degrees or even higher.
“When the temperatures are too hot, transformers in areas that are usually cooler can’t always handle unusually hot weather,” Smith said.

The transformer situation underscores the challenges that confront a utility whose service territories include foggy coastal areas, some of the nation’s largest cities, farmlands, mountains, deserts, foothills and interior valleys whose temperatures can gyrate over the course of a few months.

HIBP shouldn't be for profit because it's harvesting personal data and it should be used as a mechanism for people to be aware of serious breaches. There's a lot of legal entanglement possible with this with HIPAA being an example of what can happen.
It's probably a more difficult path, but in my opinion, HIBP should be a tax funded service because it's largely a public good product.

In a hypothetical scenario, imagine whatever torture you consider the absolute most cruel. Would you prefer somebody suffer that torture for 50 years or be killed tomorrow? If you choose the latter, we've established that death can be a preferable alternative to otherwise horrible circumstances. I'm not saying that imprisonment is the most extreme torture imaginable, but it's probably not the best thing ever either. It's somewhere in between, likely closer to the torture end of the scale.

If and where you draw the line between "this is fine" and "no person shall suffer like that for decades, no matter what they may have done, ending their life is the humane thing to do" is up to you.
This is pretty neat!

One nerdy question, from someone who actually used to run Z-System (on a TRS-80 Model 4 and an Intertec Superbrain, for the record) -- why ZCPR version 1, instead of a later release? Is version 1 the only one with available source and/or a compatible license?
Mostly: trade relationships other countries have that are specifically relationships with Hong Kong, rather than with China generally; where, sometimes, those other nations aren't even interested in trading with China generally, only with Hong Kong specifically.

To the degree that China wants to maintain these relationships (and capture the GDP they represent), they treat Hong Kong as a peer. To the degree that China has built replacements for these relationships, they treat Hong Kong as a vassal.
Also, why filecoin -at all- when siacoin exists and works already. Filecoin is vaporware.
I'm convinced that the majority of Salesforce implementations are done so that C level execs aren't the odd one out that isn't using Salesforce during their next round of golf.
obesity is one of primary public health concerns, with costs associated going into the tens if not hundreds of billions, affecting billions of people. Societies all over the globe try hard to tackle it, and you would have to make a very good case why you should not, or cannot police products that cause harm like this, we do it all the time.

If Facebook is the new Coke I'm not sure you're making the point you're intending to make. This just sounds like the stereotypical libertarian tech excuse about not taking responsibility for what is clearly becoming a pressing social concern.
Mine is "about:blank".
The big problem Seattle is experiencing with this is since its quasi legal to do drugs here, users will shoot up in all public spaces. Needles and strung out users in the library, on the playground, people living in the park. The police will eventually tell them to move along but without any consequences the problem becomes a real public nuisance. So we moved the problem into the open which might be good for users but not the general public.
This is kind of a childish comment. What authority do you have to stop someone from freely expressing their opinion?
RingNet – 3D Face Estimation Without 3D Supervision
The doublespeak of the political left is absurd these days.
Please don't do this. You are not actually solving any problems with this change. You are simply making it more difficult for users to backup/sync their photos.

I use this daily. I am a big fan of Google Photos currently but that may quickly change if this is implemented. I currently use rclone on Linux to backup my Google Photos. It is great and I can modify or delete my photos from any device within Google Photos and then have the changes synced to my desktop and backup service. What you are doing will make it a lot more difficult to backup my pictures or keep a copy saved locally.
Did you download the photo via the web interface or the Google Photos API? If via the API, I'd be very surprised; if via the web interface, then that's different from the API and isn't really feasible at scale (I have a test script where I tried using a headless browser buuuut it is very very slow and flaky.)
Or you could just use siacoin, which already does this for storage
Sure, that is the ideal. I'm more curious about the reality...

At the bottom it says, "By clicking the button, you agree to our legal policies."

Ignoring the ambiguity of that statement, it seems that someone can't even sign up for a free trial without agreeing to the full set of terms. Does that mean a business needs to make a complete legal review of the policies before an employee can sign up to _test_ the service and decide if they want to use it? How often does that actually happen?

I ask you how you think the case of being fated into a reality where your life events, turn you into a person who is eventually labeled a criminal because of the predetermined actions in a system not designed to prevent it and thus you're placed behind bars or even executed... Is that not worth fixing or not one of the better uses of resources? It seems really perplexing to me. How wouldn't it be one of the highest pursuits for humanity to defeat by resourcing a better system for these tragic outcomes of a current system making it occur.
At this point, the only thing I can think of that might work is a scorched earth policy like Switzerland has but they need to be ready willing and able to carry it out.

All the businesses that can move to another country should start doing so now.
Honestly, having a $500 MRR side projects tells me nothing about your coding skills, and would not inspire me to interview you for a coding job.

What it would inspire me to interview you for is an junior PO role. You found a problem, built a solution, got a few customers, and have kept them happy. The skills to do that are not related to the coding -- they are product design/ownership skills.

(more humane)

That's debatable.

The reason we don't kill horrible people straight up is because what if we were wrong, and even though they were horrible anyway, they didn't commit the capital offense.

Execution means any exoneration would be posthumous. But locking a person in a prison cell isn't always more humane. It can be crueler than a quick death in many ways. Sometimes, it very much is.
> It even links to the Google privacy policies, saying that by reading the NYT you also have to be aware of the Google privacy policies, because the NYT uses both Google Ads and Google Analytics.

In order to build apps on Google APIs, your end users are required to agree to Google's API terms. In this case I'm not sure they were required to do this, but it's pretty normal to have your users agree to third-party terms as part of your terms.
The linked article is in the Opinion section, so no, it does not necessarily reflect the stance of the NYT and accusations of hypocrisy are therefore unfounded in this case.
I think the GDPR is quite good, just not actually being applied. In fact, I'd say most or all of these are plainly invalid, since they don't present the request for consent "in a manner which is clearly distinguishable from the other matters", and they don't allow consenting separately for each purpose.
It's not AMD giving these stats. It is some random website on the Internet. They might simply be seeking attention.

Improving Security and Privacy for Extensions Users
On the front-end, with GraphQL you simply specify exactly the data you want on the client, e.g:

`GET localhost/graphql`, with body

dogs {

name

location {

city

}

isAGoodBoy

}

...and I get back:

dogs: [

{

Fido,

location: {

Boston

},

true
},
{

Spot,

location: {

Los Angeles

},

true

},
...

]

No extra fields. My clients page doesn't care about the dog's UUID, weight, etc. No routes. Everything goes to `localhost/graphql`.

It makes writing clients an absolute joy, and it works gloriously with React. Tell the server exactly what you want, and get exactly that.

On the back-end, every field (name, isAGoodBoy) is a resolver. Maybe it's a simple database call to retrieve that field. Maybe it's some service that pulls crap from an S3 bucket. GraphQL doesn't care. So the level of difficulty of implementing a GQL server is dependent on your back-end. For most folks, you'll just be making calls to a database.
