If you want to be pedantic, dual_dingo wrote that the university wants to (not will) hire only women for the next 18 months, which is a pretty accurate representation of their new policy. So if suitable female candidates show up for every position in the next 18 months, then no male candidates will be hired at all.

I think the point is that once the cat is out of the bag it’s hard to put it back. For example, at first more people were helped by opiates than harmed. As time passed, by the time we realized that relationship had changed, we already had a bunch of addicted citizens.

It isn’t too much of a stretch to imagine an authoritarian government using our own surveillance video for nefarious purposes.

> It’s not like the FS would know the first time a disk re-reads a sector

I can understand why the default mode of operation for disks involves the disk presenting a clean “you get a block or you don’t” interface to the OS over e.g. SATA; but I’m surprised that it’s what we’re stuck with 100% of the time. We have ECC memory (where the memory controller reports errors to the OS), but no ECC disks.

Maybe this is what Apple is trying to do with putting their T2 chip in charge of being a storage controller. That way, it doesn’t just get to do encryption things; it can also make highly abstract policy-level decisions on what to do about these sorts of error events. Too bad such an approach is only really tenable if you’re building your own storage system out of your own raw NAND; it’d be nice to be able to have an external low-level storage controller built into e.g. the RAID card of a RAID array of regular HDDs, that those HDDs would then slave themselves to, and which ran OS-uploadable firmware.
This is what happens when you rent your music.

I'm glad I never had a Spotify account. I always either buy CDs from shows or get them off Bandcamp. I prefer Bandcamp because they take a smaller cut (15%, as low as 10% if you have a label which high volume) and really hate it when an artist I like only has the option of Apple/Google/Amazon (all which take ~30% or more).

I just went from a 200GB microsd card to a 512gb, and can carry all my music in my phone, ready for offline playback, where ever I go.
Thanks for replying. I've had LEGO in the back of my mind but unfortunately I don't think I'd cope with the 1.5hr - 2hr commute in to Billund, unless a few days of remote work could be squeezed in?

Really appreciate the reply :)
Oh no, only not the sacred export laws. He should clearly be locked away forever.
The paywalls on all major news sites are driving me crazy.

Not because they cost money (I am willing to pay), but because it's not practical to buy an online subscription to 10+ major news sites individually.

Is there a service that lets you pay 1 monthly fee for a subscription to the top 10 major (paywalled) news sites?

>My expectation that of my smart phone is that it's not listening unless I want it to (I don't). If I find out it is listening/recording and it's configured not to then I will find an alternative.

>My expectation

This is the key phrase here. Just as you have your expectations, Alexa/Home owners have their expectations. And if Alexa owners find out that Amazon/Google is using their inputs in ways they don't want it to, they'll drop it or find an alternative.

Different people have different expectations. I was late into the whole smartphone thing, and refused to buy one for years because of the privacy leak it represents (heck, I refused to buy a dumb phone for years for the same reason). Back in those days, I would have been as unsympathetic for your rationale of owning a smartphone as you are of those owning smart speakers.

Do you not see that there are different levels of comfort, and not everyone has the same level as you do? Furthermore, do you not see that on that continuum, even you have made compromises?
Just ordered a MacBook Air and it is "taking longer than usual" to get shipped.
This is an utterly insufficient answer to the allegation that you copied internal data structures entirely from the NT kernel, including (why?) their names.

Brushing this off as a free "PR campaign" only works if those NT programmers simply made everything up. That's possible, because we as the general public have no way of knowing. But it's hard to ignore that there are just two possible scenarios here, nothing in between.

Could you please clarify: If MS people say they do recognize verbatim code from NT in your source, are they lying? If they're not lying, what happened?

Your only way to avoid being scanned for facial recognition is to never enter public spaces like airports. Perhaps to never leave your home.

Wait, there is a camera in the classroom itself, always on? The footage is saved somewhere and can be viewed by who knows who or what algorithm, judging by whatever standards the person or algorithmy applies at that time?

...justified by "solving" various conflicts in the classroom, conflicts that have root causes like large class sizes, social issues, stressful environments, overbearing parents, disrespected teachers or whatever - so we just build an panopticon?

Right now I can't even imagine watching surveillance video like that, seeing all kinds of reactions and emotions of people, of children interacting; what right do I have to systematically observe without them knowing?

Screw all of that. Spend any amound of money to have small class sizes, pay teachers better, make schools friendly and welcoming, have more counselors around or whatever.

But please throw out those cameras.

Alright, your response is a lot clearer now. However, this is how it currently is with NERC CIP, so I fail to see how having legislation that facilitates more manual devices really solves anything.

What is wrong with having a life outside of work? Or children and responsibilities? Does anyone believe these make for worse engineers? It's not even legal for companies to force parents out of their workforce.
The sad thing is that even if you're not in the machine, the machine can still scan you -- as long as you're within a certain distance of it.

When the machines first started being used there was some expose on them where pics from the machine were leaked, and you could clearly see that even people waiting in line within about 10 feet of the machine or so were scanned, and you can clearly see their bodies appear in the images, just as you can those who were in the machine itself.

Now, being scanned outside of the machine probably doesn't give them as good an image as outside of the machine, and they won't get an image of both sides of your body, but nevertheless your body will be covered to some extent with radiation from the machine.

I've always opted out of the machines at the airport, and they've always made me wait in a chair within 10 feet or so of the machine. So I know I'm getting some radiation dose from it, but really don't know what to do about it.
even for a clickbait headline, "It Wasn't Easy" seems overkill.

I opt out of the body scan every time and it sounds like the face scan is easier.

You also could make it possible to install for testers.
But:
- either 100 devices per developer account per year
- or use TestFlight open beta test (as much devices as you want, users have to register in Testlight, app have to pass 'beta review') (I knew at least one app that uses TestFlight open beta as method of distribution: they just show 'enter login/password' on startup and change icon and name from time to time. Their android app is just apk+updater. Registration and payment is via website Reason for such measures? App does nothing bad for it's users but there are people who will say it's existence violates their right and costs them trillions of dollars)

3rd option is abuse of enterprise development certificate (which is intended for $BIGCOMPANY's own employees only)
Neat! I always find myself trying to get a better look at the designs of different passports whenever I'm at the airport.

Why is electronic travel authorization (such as ESTA) ranked worse than eVisa or Visa on Arrival?

If you are a billionare, sea level rise is going to effect your wealth the MOST.

Maybe they actually believe it to be a good thing somehow ?

You're comparing a car that is almost 50 years newer.

The emissions era really only served to strangle power output and destroy any classical romance in the American car market. Efficiency gains didn't really show up in American markets until some 30 years later in the late 90s at the earliest, until then everything was underpowered and anemic to satisfy EPA constraints.

Look no further than the 5.7L V8 C3 Corvette from the 70s way into the mid nineties when the LT1/LT4 were finally introduced. Until then you had 5.7 liter small blocks barely making 200hp because of emissions regulations.

That's not how the slippery slope fallacy works.

If Im not mistaken, youtube contentid filtering is not working as good as Google hoped it will. People find more and more backdors or workarounds for it. Google hires like thousends of editors to watch youtube content and filter out stuff. That was one big defeat of Google. The same way they fail to filter kids content.

Im yet to see a filtering mechanism for a platform like ytb that works.

I know some people (freelancers mostly) who seem to be collecting passports as some kind of expensive complicated beurocratic sport.

Would also be good to see a relative rating on how difficult/lengthy/costly the process is to get each of these passports. I'm sure there's a known combination of passports that gets you optimal country coverage with minimal effort/cost.
They just decided to use boring technology (http://boringtechnology.club/). Given they have limited resource spreading it across two databases seems a miss, and taking that time and attention and putting it back into git-ty stuff looks like a win.

I doubt copyright issues had an impact here. There is always a much larger perspective the labels have over the industry than what we can talk about here.

Ultimately, it is about control. Every decision from the ads you hear to the choice of music you get in your Discover Weekly playlists (or any made by Spotify) come from the influence of label control over the company (and industry). Songs that appear or can be heard near or in sequence of each other to an end user are not really that random.

We as consumers forget that the entirety of Spotify is a heavily curated experience. This includes the features available to us on various devices which directly impact how and what (pod casts) we can listen to and when (free tier on mobile)
This seems to be a pretty common attitude here on HN, that specialists like DBAs are a waste of money. Just a couple of days ago someone posted (only slightly paraphrased) "it's a waste of money to hire skilled DBAs. You should hire DevOps engineers who can solve the most common problems with your database. DBAs have outlived their usefulness."

Given the prevalance of that attitude, I'm a little surprised to see that the general tone of responses here is "This wouldn't have been a problem if they'd just hired people who knew what they were doing." The point is, they didn't. They hired devops engineers who knew enough to solve common problems, in line with the conventional wisdom here. Their stated reasons for ending MySQL support are perfectly in line with the view that specialists are a waste of money. Indeed, I'm not sure what other outcome should have been expected.
I guess the papers they cite are in Russian, so maybe someone else can dig into it more, but at least they link to abstracts in English [1,2] which say

> Two ways of radioactive particles destruction by C. cladosporioides were established, one of them is a direct way by fungal overgrowth of hot particles and the second one an indirect way only by fungal metabolites.

> It has been found out for the first time that Cladosporium cladosporioides and Penicillium roseo-purpureum are able actively overgrow "hot" particles whose radioactivity did not exceed 3.1-1.0(-7) Ci by gamma-spectrum and to destroy them 50-150 days later.

So it seems that the fungus forms a layer around the particle?

Is there any data on how being recorded at all times affects the behavioral development of those children ? Adults definitely behave differently when they know they are monitored (I personally know I do), so I wonder what kind of mental health issues would hide in those children if they are monitored at all times... I also feel like using this to prevent bullying or suicides is the wrong option, as educating kids themselves would probably be a more sensible idea (but hey you need teaching personnel that’s decently paid for that !).

It’s interesting that this surveillance is banned in France because teachers and pupils have « a right to privacy »: https://www.cnil.fr/fr/la-videosurveillance-videoprotection-...

I was having drinks with an accountant friend of mine who had/has clients in the budding borderline legal pot biz a little while ago and he said something interesting - we were talking about President's Trump's refusal to share his tax returns. Forgot the exact gotcha was but the jist of it was that you should ALWAYS report all your income even if it's not technically legally obtained.

On a side note, this friend of mine thinks the reason why the President isn't showing his returns isn't because of Russia but because his accountants may have done false filing of some shady business deals and the release of this data will place the President under serious legal troubles.
Funny aside, a friend of mine lives in a neighborhood with a HOA. One of the people in it kept making so much trouble (annoying others to do this or that) that they voted to kick him out of the HOA. The guy actually threatened to sue the HOA to be let back in! LOL, "wait, you want to pay dues and be subject to HOA rules?"

Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.
yes yes it would be all nice if we would completely revamp school system (and why stop there) into something marvelous, but back in reality where it won't probably happen in our lifetimes, some hacks may make unbearable life if public school teacher slightly more bearable.

Fascinating thread. You don't often see this kind of thing discussed openly.

One personal experience: years ago I worked on a project where I had the task (I will not go into why..) of re-implementing some tricky, non-documented functionality for which I had the source code for another implementation available to study, but also the goal to make it hard to prove from inspection of the code I wrote that it had been inspired by said original code. So in essence, I had the task we postulate the ReactOS developers had, if they indeed were using leaked ntoskrnl source as a reference. Ok, so when I had that task I did things like re-order the declaration of variables; change variable names; think of ways to refactor such that logic was split over a different number of functions; and on and on. Basically: I did a bunch of things designed to NOT permit the kind of "ah ha! : these things are the same" analysis that we see here. You might call this "derivation obfuscation".

So I'm a bit confused: either the ah ha analysis is flawed; or the RactOS devs just didn't care about being found out, right? Because if they had wanted to, it wouldn't have been hard to obscure, at least to some degree, that they were deriving their code from MS's original source.
regarding 2) that may be true of many bullies, but I would expect at least some of them to learn how to get away with it. I could certainly imagine that some bullies would start exclusively tormenting their victims in camera deadzones and the victim finally stands up for themselves in view of the camera. all the evidence would show that that kid started a fight unprovoked.

ymmv, but most HOAs I have ever been a part of restrict their authoritarian gaze to the front lawn only, I've always been free to do whatever to the (usually much larger) back yard.

And, when I lived in California, the HOA was pretty amenable to the xeriscaping required by town ordinance, but that is probably pretty variable by location.

If you're wealthy enough, it's quite easy to pick up an extra passport or three.
right, but by naming all the issues they had, they also opened up the discussion for learning how to solve those problems as the posts here demonstrate.

i therefore approve of the way the announcement was made, because it brought more benefits to the readers.

sure, some readers will walk away with the impression that mysql is somehow limited, but i think that's a reasonable price to pay for everyone else who gets to learn from the ensuing discussions.
I'd guess tax stuff's a hell of a lot easier to prove in court than a lot of other crimes. Heavy on figures and a defendant with no decent explanation of where the money came from or why they didn't report it, light on witnesses talking about anything other than the figures.
I've a lot of experience with both MATLAB and Python. I find Python to be the better designed language, with fewer rough edges. But MATLAB still promotes and encourages the most productive approach to programming, one that NumPy just falls short of.
