Think about what it means 'their land'. The people have agreed that they will protect his exclusive right to use that land. They gave him a set of rights associated with it. There are other people these days for which there was no land left - thus making a price congestion for the existing land.

Shouldn't the current owner pay the tax as means of 1) congestion pricing and 2) service fee for others guaranteeing his rights?

It feels to me like a fair tax as you pay for what you use.

That's the project that was started by a physicist that didn't trust the numbers previously in the field, and basically called climate scientists amateurs, and set out to show them how they're all doing it wrong.

What happened in the end was he just recapitulated exactly what climate scientists had been saying all along, so he had to trumpet "oh but it's never been done this precisely," just glancing over all the damage he had done to the credibility of the field with his completely unfounded doubt.

Replication is great, and I'm glad Berkeley Earth is still at it.

But we need to start holding people accountable for their predictions on this matter. If somebody is filled with unfounded doubt, why the hell should we listen to them until they've actually done the work to provide data?

If you haven't even bothered to check sources but want to parade around how you think the data is untrustworthy, data which you haven't even sourced much less evaluated, why should we listen to such data-free and evidence free speculation that has proven to be wrong every time is has been evaluated?

If somebody is skeptical of climate scientists at this point in history, it says a lot about their inability to evaluate technical matters and their ability to form unfounded opinion when there is no need for unfounded opinions. That reflects extremely negatively on the technical capabilities of a person.

The chief problem with AppArmor is that its primary mechanism of identifying objects in the system (to which relevant policy rules are applied) relies on paths. In Linux, paths are not usable as strong identifiers because Linux provides a variety of ways to alias those objects. Additionally, some objects that deserve scrutiny from a mandatory access control perspective don't map cleanly to paths.

> Does the same argument apply to SELinux? That the NSA can already compromise any version of the Linux kernel, or alternatively that the NSA has been fighting itself since the year 2000?

Definitely. As far as I can see (public civilian sources only), the NSA's Tailored Access division can compromise any off-the-shelf PC. Or at least, given that we know that they've had the ability to install persistent viruses in the firmware of consumer hard drives 10+ years ago, it seems plausible to assume that standard PC hardware is not secure against targeted attacks.

> Does the NSA's endorsement of AES over 3DES mean that the NSA has had a backdoor in AES for decades? Does it make no sense to include actually-secure algorithms in Suite B?

Of course not. That would be a silly assumption, since we know from the Snowden revelations that the NSA is primarily targeting endpoint security. They might be able to break certain implementations of stream ciphers or maybe even have working (algebraic?) attacks against certain block ciphers - they seem to build and use a lot of ASICs, presumably not just for cryptocoin mining -, but even if these attacks exist, it would be very speculative to assume that they are used routinely.

If I wanted to break into any Linux system, I'd first create a Trojan horse and ask the administrator to kindly install it. If that didn't work, I might compromise the router and hijack the system update mechanism (maybe using stolen certificates). If that didn't work, I'd become a package maintainer or major contributor and sneak in some backdoors obfuscated as programming errors. Or I could intercept the hardware and install my own firmware on the machines. And so on and so forth. Heck, even civilian companies overtly advertise that they can break into any computer, so why should the NSA not be capable of doing it?

No need to break cryptography if endpoints are insecure.

That was what I checked today, because ECB was supposed to rise interest rates around June/July. So it will not happen and I just got emails about my savings account going to lower their rates. For now I am good with not having negative rates but it is going to increase housing bubble we have now. So new crypto bubble is IMO in the same boat with housing.
I don't think it's useful to use the word socialism in this way though. If we do, then socialism simply becomes a subset of capitalism. It has always been possible in capitalist societies for people to pool their resources and share the results of their labour, as I said it's simply the exercise of one of their rights as owners.

Political and economic socialism is predicated on the principle that individual ownership is immoral, because resources should belong to society. This is why socialists are against the individual, or even collective ownership of companies by shareholders because that's still private ownership. For them the sole legitimate owner is 'society' as a whole, which in practice means the state.

That's what genuine socialists believe in and campaign for, which would of course threaten the freedom of individuals to build something like Wikipedia. That's because they would not have individual ownership of the capital resources contributed towards it. The decision about allocating those resources would reside with the state, not individuals as free agents. Paradoxically, universal collective ownership dramatically limits freedom to organise collectively without state sponsorship. That's why you see communist and socialist countries cracking down on grass roots movements. They challenge the legitimacy of the state.
I find it interesting how the warm years in the rest of the world seem to correspond to cold years in europe. The strange deep cold of early WW2 in Europe is also interesting.
One challenge with using things like trees to estimate long-ago temperatures is that you have to build a complex mathematical model to map to temperature, and I'm aware of at least one famous study that got the math wrong, to the point of being potentially suspicious.

The fact of whether or not a chemical reaction takes place in a certain context is a chemical property of a substance. Any fact about a substance on its own, not interacting with other molecules (or at least interacting with them a way that causes no chemical reactions to take place, e.g. being cooled by convection of Neon gas, or scratching in a Moh’s hardness test, or piezoelectric effects), is a physical property.

Sweetness is, as you’ve defined it, a chemical property, so it’s not one of the things I was talking about being “easy” to predict.

But pigmentation is a physical property, as it is a reaction between a molecule and inbound photons†. Likewise, the output of a “pigmentation calculation”—if we know of one—should just be more photons. Wavefunction in, wavefunction out.

We know how photons work. We know how our eyes perceive them. As long as we have a framework for figuring out how a material physically manipulates the photons absorbed by it, we should be able to calculate the pigmentation of every simple molecule by brute force.

——

† The pigmented molecule can be in the chemical form or physical state that gives it that pigment very ephemerally, due to e.g. a clock reaction. But at any given instant in time, we can say “the molecule is in this state, so what function does it apply to inbound photons now.”

Note also that I’m defining pigmentation here, not total appearance, so this ignores any fluorescence, phosphorescence, triboluminescence, Cherenkov radiation, etc. that the molecule also emits and which we perceive as light. All those purely-physical processes are able to be admitted into this model without actually making it untenable, but it becomes harder to understand, since it becomes a Feynman diagram thing, rather than simple transformation over wavefunctions.

> Just read "the Book of the New Sun" in its entirety and I can't understand the appeal people find in it. The author really enjoys telling stories, and is very bad at telling a story. The world is glorious, and he does nothing with it. The protagonist is a nymphomaniac borderline[1] rapist who goes on long monologues about women as nothing more than objects (and many more monologues that are rarely insightful). The protagonist never changes, the story jumps from a chance encounter to a deus ex machina and back through random events of no consequence. But, as with literature, its very subjective, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

4C is something like Hong Kong/Shanghai, and many other parts of th world uninhabitable. Going outside would be fatal within minutes.

This really doesn't require a heavy jQuery dependency. I also don't know why the font related style changes are necessary.

You could rewrite this script to be as simple as:

const me = document.querySelector("a#me").innerText;
const header = document.querySelector("span.pagetop");
header.innerHTML = header.innerHTML + "<a class='myaddons' href='https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=" + me + "'>| my posts |</a>";
header.innerHTML = header.innerHTML + "<a class='myaddons' href='https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=" + me + "'> my cmts |</a>";

Much more efficient and does the job without the heavy jQuery dependency.

I do commend your initiative though, and I'm sure many users will get much use of this.
That's not strictly true. In my view, Boot Guard is sort of like a locked bootloader. In Boot Guard, the CPU verifies a signature on system firmware before loading it. The signature is verified using a public key from the platform manufacturer. So under the Boot Guard regime, the platform manufacturer essentially gets a vote in whether your platform can run modified firmware level code. Or you find a jailbreak.

I've met more than a few folks who consider web templating systems to be 'overkill', and have 0 understanding of the risk of xss. Same with sql/db escaping - "I just write the SQL and run it, using all those libraries is just a waste of time", etc.

Many of the projects I've come in to over the years were doing with a "JGID" mentality. And they did "get it done", "it" was just a steaming pile of crap when it was done. "Why is this taking weeks to do - the previous guy was so much faster?"

Had this one last year:

"This was never slow before when X worked on it, you've made changes what have you done? We need to call X back in to the project".

X just "got it done". And X was a db admin who was writing code. And X decided it would be good to have views join against other views which joined against other views, and have some queries which used those views run in triggers.

When X was on the project, and there were 40 users, it was fine. They hit 1000 users, and things were 'slow', so they upgraded to a larger EC2 instance. X left, and I came in, and several months later they hit ~30000 users (not active, just ... user account records). The system was dying with more than 5 active users, because of all the views joining other views on 30k+ records.

Unravelling that meant deciphering all the views, all the queries, all the code that touched all of it, and rebuilding a moderate portion, without tests, known 'good' data, or anyone on the project knowing what 'right' was - they just knew when things looked 'wrong' (or slow).

BUT... 18 months earlier, it was "JGID", and it got done. I'm still a bit perplexed why a professional DB admin thought views joining against multiple other views was a good approach.

We've all got horror stories, I'm sure, it's just that the "JGID" mentality is often preached by competent experts as a good approach, but picked up by beginners as the approach used by experts, and has bad consequences.
Did you read the rest of what I wrote? I'm not saying that deep focus on a narrow set of skills doesn't have benefits, and perhaps the word "stupid" was a poor choice of words. Of course focus on specialized knowledge is a "smart" thing. Expertise doesn't make anyone literally stupid, but the necessity of focus in my field and my experience has made me less effective and less knowledgeable about the world around me. I'm not coming up with excuses for not doing the hard work; I already did the hard work.
