Hm. Most of the limited amount I ever knew about this I've forgotten atm, but in the face of general misunderstanding I'm going to chance my arm on the theory that I have a >50% chance of making things better rather than worse. Here goes.

Usually, in philosophical logic, you don't use 3VL or any multi-valued logic to deal with something being unknown. If you don't know whether the proposition P is true or false, and so you don't want to assert either that it is true or that it is false, then you do this simply by not asserting or implying P while also not asserting or implying ~P. If you want a logic in which you can actually make the statement "it is unknown whether P or ~P" (or more precisely, a logic in which you can capture the structure of that statement: you could always just define the proposition Q to mean "it is unknown whether P or ~P", but that probably doesn't get you anything useful) then you'd probably use some variation on modal logic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemic_modal_logic , not a 3VL. What logicians actually normally use 3VLs for is to (try to) deal with truth value gaps or gluts. In a logic with truth-value gluts P can be both true and false at the same time. In a logic with truth-value gaps P can be neither true nor false, at the same time. I know right? (Intuitionistic logic is something a bit different again.)

The reason that computer systems like SQL use a third truth-value which sometimes(!) means 'unknown', is, to summarise, because the way those systems handle truth and implication is a garbage fire.

Finally - the main advantage of newspapers was being able to keep reporters paid and independent.

Today, all news is victim of the news cycle effect and if you aren’t buzzfeed you are either the winner of the network effect or dead.

The network effect was recognized as bad for society as a whole, but the internet has made information gathering subservient to ad clicks.

If this version of the information hunter gatherer society, where people must venture onto the net and hope they aren’t going to eat compromised information, is appealing then sure, let’s lay the blame on the medium.

I'd trust a stupid autonomous system to be safer than a driver who loses consciousness during one of those situations. You just need to make sure that the system doesn't break down completely more often than human drivers have a heart attack at the wheel.
I'd recommend being careful about making flippant remarks on public forums lest some future litigious asshole try to make hay out of it.

But on point: on I-5, for one example, I've encountered semis doing 80+ MPH in loose groups and not at all unsafely.

It wouldn't take many semis doing only 55 to make life miserable for many of your colleagues and competitors, especially if they face driving-hour limits and logging constraints that you don't. Has that issue been hashed out internally?
Or you can just get a ThinkPad X1 (a generation or two behind) for sub-$1k, install Linux on it, and work in comfort with almost the same weight and battery life. I'm really pleased with mine.

While I tentatively agree that its a problem, viewing Earth as our only finite resource is not entirely correct either.

Capitalism will be what pushes us to the infinite resources of space.... then I imagine it'll run into new problems that no one has yet realized they need to solve problems for.
I'd rather have a reliable, tried and tested capitalism (devil we know) to deal with the the new issues Space will present than some fledgling new system.

> Amateurs currency have access to 420-450 MHz, an even larger band. If any of that were to be re-assigned, in theory it would be easier to get more channels or larger channels (there's no technical reason you could operate at 50kHz or 100kHz in that band, for example). Opening up even 2 MHz of spectrum could mean tens of thousands of additional stations could get on the air or new or existing licensees could get larger, faster channels.

I worry about slippery slope it would create. AFAIU, opening up those few MHz out of amateur band would let tens of thousands of commercial station to pop up... and the band would get crowded again, leading to pleads for the amateurs to release couple more MHz, until eventually amateurs are no more in this part of the spectrum.

> As a side note, the strange idea that Yahweh is the only "possible" God is taken as granted by religious people,

It's really not, especially by most people who follow non-Yahwistic religions. But even those who personally believe in Yahweh who pose arguments for the existence of a god often do so for a god of a far less defined nature; belief in the existence of a god (however that term is defined) and belief that the god that exists has, in addition to those traits which are reviewed as inherently defining being a god, also has the other traits classically identified with some particular image of Yahweh are often coinciding but distinguishable beliefs.
> How could a democratic society founded on self-governance depend on police governance and still be free?

This is something that I see radically different between the USA and Europe. Europe had more authoritative states and police enforcement moved from repression force to citizens service. In the USA the path seems the opposite. From self-policing and freedom towards repression.

> U.S. courts did more to encourage and sustain, rather than to check, the growing authority of the police.

I guess that there was a need for more law enforcement. But, the trend never stopped even when it made no sense anymore.

> The upshot, as time would tell, was not the protection of individuals’ privacy in their cars but the empowerment of highway patrollers and traffic cops who could take advantage of the thicket of procedures to exercise their power in discretionary, even discriminatory, ways.

This is the pattern that I have seen. The problem with much of the cases that I see on the news is that there is no accountability. Police forces are going to make mistakes, and that mistakes can be lethal. But, I do not see self-reflection or improvement.

When you make the same mistake a hundred times. It is not a mistake anymore but part of the system.

It's probably best not to comment about it anyway, except to make vague mumblings about Higgs-Field-detailed sensors and death rays.
The document does not try to compare other chat applications with Riot. It does not try to say what is good or bad. We simply take how Riot is presented and understood by non-technical people, and see if its behaviour matches what they understood it does in terms of privacy. There was a mismatch, and people asked to know what was shared without their consent or understanding: we wrote it down.

We did the next best thing after improving sydent: we wrote our own implementation of an Identity server: mxisd. We linked it several times in the doc. You should give it a look. That's one example of how you can be better at privacy.

If the content of the document does not surprise you, and you were fully aware of all that was going on, it is also a win! Sadly, this is not our experience with the many users we came in contact with. They did not know, but wanted to know in details.

We do not mention End-to-End encryption would be cool indeed because it would not change what is happening here. In Matrix, the encryption would only cover the content of the event, but not its metadata (sender, source, timestamp, etc.). The document is clear that the vast majority of the leaks are around metadata (who sent what, who did what, when, from where) and not data itself (the message itself).

This document only scratches the surface of privacy in Matrix, by being specific to Matrix.org and its choice of recommended software. It gets worse as we start investigating the protocol itself. It is your choice to see this as FUD. It does not make it less true, and while you might not care, some do. We published the document for those who care and do not have the means, time or capacity to do such a research themselves.
I have been, though.

One interesting bit of trivia (I always wondered about but finally read-up on): Early on, amateur radio bands were allocated in a manner that ensured (in all but one case) harmonics would bleed into another, higher amateur band, rather than into a frequency used for another purpose. Changes in the late 1920’s dispensed with this[1], but we do still see rough multiples in many cases (160/80/40/20/10 meter, 60/30/15 meter, etc.).

I had to write my own font rendering code for lack of much in the way of general purpose libraries for doing it in 3-D engines back around 2005. Your options were, more or less, to pay through the nose for Scaleform, to roll your own, or to use something really ugly. So I had to learn some basic typography to tie Freetype into a text rendering engine, which got me practical experience with editing font files, anti-aliasing, hinting, kerning, processing digraphs, Unicode, the works.

Web 2.0 started more or less right after that, so interest in digital typography in general exploded. I ended up working on some applications of text layout in non-left-to-right and pictograph languages for 2D canvas, SVG, and web based image manipulation in general. So out of sheer coincidence my hobby work messing with OpenGL/Freetype was suddenly directly relevant.
> help make the front page more of what you want by upvoting what you like

An increasingly frequent experience on HN is to get into a front page submission, leave a minute later, and see the thing has entirely disappeared from sight, for entirely opaque reasons.

It just happened again with this very AskHN.

Lesson: We can upvote all we like, but unless it's exactly like the stuff that's always on HN, we can't trust HN to honor our votes.

There's a strong argument to be made that "the first universal internet currency" is the US dollar.
In general this is true, there are always reasons for bad practices but what if the some teams in the company don't use a source control system, they just use folders on a network drive?

If I came in to manage such a team. I would absolutely say so in no uncertain terms.

I have actually been in a similar situation but I did have the backing of senior management, in fact that was the main reason they hired me. They wanted somebody with experience in the industry to drive best practices so that they could show investors in order to attract investment (they had had two investors pull out after some due diligence showed that from a technical POV the company was in dire straits)
You'd be surprised how much a simple bicycle or scooter cab can accomplish in solving this objection. These are very popular in Asia.

The main limit is carrying capacity - maximum power - and you really do not need that much stuff. This works long range too, and could work even longer range should there be proper cargo trains for bikes.
But there aren't.

The trip time is typically needed to be less than 10h or you need alternative driver or a long break anyway. A car can go let's say 1000 km on average in that time. A plane maybe 5kkm and a train matches a car. A human powered bicycle goes perhaps 250-300 km. Man on foot goes 40 km.

In a city a car is on average 30% faster than a bike and even less vs a scooter or motorbike.

Except in the bigger mode of transport there is space to put in amenities and a spare driver or secondary crew.

I play regularly on chess.com. (I pay for a membership to avoid ads.) On these online sites, you quickly get matched with players around your skill level. I play 5 min games for the quick thrill. I just stick with the Queen's Gambit with white. There is one key mistake that black sometimes makes in that opening, otherwise, it's on to the middle game hijinks. At my level the opponents tend to favour e4 with white. You need a couple of defences for their key attacks. I usually review the game with the online computer, because you can see better moves you could have made - it's a great way to slowly improve. I'm in my sixties and finally have the time and the tools to enjoy chess.
As mentioned in the top comment, FB currency is not a cryptocurrency in the sense "decentralized trustless public cryptography based ledger", so its adoption or lack thereof has little to no consequences on Bitcoin and Ethereum.

I suspect nothing will work.

Nothing survives the network effect, at least this is the lesson I’ve gleaned from the past 50 years of news reporting.

Just from the late 90s to today in America we went from Fox to twitter/Facebook and then automated news site generators.

All of them systems designed to maximize “engagement” to drive ad revenues. The victim ? The pollution of the human noise to signal ratio.

Western society is dealing with a perfect weak spot in our enlightenment values based societies

1) freedom of speech

2) freedom to do stupid things

3) human biological design to be attracted to attention seeking material

4) competitive market pressure

Any solution we could come up with, will never solve for all four constraints.

Create a new BBC? High quality news, well funded ? People will watch whatever panders to their biases instead.

Want to reach out to people ? You have to beat Fox News at their game and race to the bottom.

Want to pass legislation to fix this? Free speech issues.

It also sounds like what happened at my (australian) high school. On a state exam one of my classmates had his older brother sit the exam for him.

Now the coversheet for the exam has a place to write your name and sign it which you must do before starting the test.

The older brother signed it as his younger brother. Then was charged with forgery. The requirement to sign was there to make that kind of cheating a crime.

Julia's compiled code might be super fast, but developing (or, God forbid, doing any sort of analysis) is painful because of how brutally slow the REPL/interactive environment is. Pretty much every little snippet of code you'll want to test as you write Julia feels like it takes _forever_ to run. I don't know if there's a solution for this while retaining the compiled run-time performance. I'm new to Julia (from R and Python), but I find the slowness/sluggishness of REPL to be nearly a deal breaker for me. It feels like the web back in the 1990s when you'd click a button and wait, and then click another button (or link) and wait, etc.
I never called myself a victim, and neither you are one. I know how places like China work, and it was you who asked me how do I know it.
Anecdote: My most exhausted coworkers are those who openly admit and talk about using sleep trackers.

I believe that the effect of sleep trackers is mostly psychological and they work in the same way all those self-help books do.
Lubrication is, I think, and under-appreciated aspect here.

Trains got substantially more efficient circa 1850-1950, more miles-per-ton, and I believe the reason was essentially that they made hotter steam, because efficiency is bounded by the temperature difference (thanks to Carnot). And the limitation on how hot you could make steam, in any given decade, was that you needed the cylinder to still be lubricated at that temperature, and this technology slowly advanced.

I think this is one of the reasons internal combustion engines didn't appear sooner. They are necessarily quite hot, even more so for diesel, which is later (and more efficient).
