This entry on Prima Facie may be helpful [1], though perhaps a bit light.

On a related note, Hong Kong’s conviction rate is just 50% [2], so statistically speaking prima facie is a much lower bar than guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in Hong Kong. Moreover, one additional concern is that cases could be made-up for extradition, such as the case for Gui Minhai in the Causeway Bay Books disappearances [3], making it much easier to produce prima facie evidence for extradition. For a more relevant essay on the difference between Hong Kong’s and Chinese legal system especially on the issue of anti-extradition and the (lack of) independent jurisdiction, see [4] in Chinese.

> I think mainland people never deny Hong Kong's superiority on juridical system. Tourists would have a great interest knowing how it works and make Hong Kong a great success in business. However, it's superficial and hateful to propaganda just by focusing on familiar things and pretending nobody knows.

Thanks for your opinion. There is no denying that the protestors could do better in conveying their message, but arguably their audience, the mainlanders, is so diverse that sometimes it is hard to satisfy everyone. But the protestors would try I think.

> > a proper legal system and accountable democracy are the key to long term stability

> Every sensible protester knows the importance of stability. But to get more support by propaganda, instead of taking it for granted, there's a lot to explain along the way between their behavior and the value both side shares. For certain group of people, it's not as obvious as the protesters see.

Thanks for the words. Yes, even among protestors, there are values that is more obvious to some but less obvious to others, so your view is completely understandable.
The mega scale influencers like the Kardashian family definitely influence, and have created billion-dollar brands like Kylie Cosmetics.

The regular level influencers are complete nonentities. I remember a story here a while back where an "influencer" with 2 million "followers" couldn't sell 36 T-shirts.
Back in the day, we used to use some Apache redirect magic to redirect to, say, an image of our choosing when the Referrer header was wrong. I had a relatively polite 'hey, you can see this image here:' message. Other people redirected to less friendly things.
It could be like the great recession. Perhaps there are so many levels of indirection between the influencer sponsorships and actual sales that everyone assumes it's working when it's really not.
More like a showerthought, but:

If arachnids are able to detect magnetic fields and react accordingly, are humans also able to do the same?

Anecdotally, I've always had people commenting on how their mood is down when it is storming outside, and that they feel a 'negative energy' that doesn't motivate them to do anything. So I wonder if there is a relation?
The most interesting part of this announcement, I think, is the new capabilities and restrictions they disclosed for AlphaStar. It is now playing the latest version of the game, with all three races unrestricted, on multiple maps.

It also has much more realistic limits on its capabilities. Restricting the bot to one screen of information at a time is great. There's not much detail on the APM restrictions, but "designed with pro players" is a good sign. Hopefully they've designed some realistic restrictions more complex than just a cap on APM.

Of course the anonymous nature of the testing is interesting as well. Big contrast to OpenAI's public play test. I guess it will prevent people from learning to exploit the bot's weaknesses, as they won't know they are playing a bot at all. I hope they eventually do a public test without the anonymity so we can see how its strategies hold up under focused attack.
The company I work for provides embeddable JavaScript "web widgets". Our customers are companies, and their customers are consumers (we are business to business to consumer company). We host somewhat personal data specific to those consumers, and as such, the data should only be accessible by those consumers.

So, we provide the data API that these web widgets communicate with, and the web widgets themselves can be embedded on our customers' own websites (some-company.com). However, the customer can decide exactly which hostnames can embed the widget (through a control panel we provide), and these hostnames ultimately become the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` value we provide with every API response. Perhaps they want it on foo.some-company.com or bar.some-company.com -- it's really up to our customer where they want these widgets to be embedded.

By doing this, the customer knows that no other website can host these widgets, thus exposing their consumers' data to a phishing attack as I outline here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20405169

so i guess this is just for office workers. For the more blue-collar among us, management is constantly pushing for 7 days.

I work as an engine mechanic for an auto chain in the midwest, and can confirm we're persistently understaffed with qualified trade-skill educated employees. random 10 hour days in our shop are not unheard of depending on if the customer is a fleet job or not.

We tried 6 day work weeks, where we offered just oil changes on saturdays, and even that proved a little hectic for apprentices and new employees (they eventually started calling it saturday suck-work.) Customers were also furious that we only did oil/air and nothing else, so management predictably caved and our saturdays are reduced hours, but with full mechanics on site anyhow.

Pay for us stayed the same, but before we start talking about reduced work days, we need to address the absolute shortage of competent trade-skilled labor in this country. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, automotive, machinists, professional drivers and boilermakers...these arent just things that get done by anyone, but they keep the world running.
I think it's a combination of things, but primarily we are in a low interest environment.

Money is looking desperately for something to invest in and the problem of Hollywood and cable companies was that they made too much money.
Netflix was a distributor who figured that out and was creating a low subscription model for content.

When the content producers realised this Netflix was exposed, they knew they would not renew their contracts and as a defensive measure just started producing content like mad. They had all this leverage because the market is flooded with money and they have a pretty stable revenue stream.

Netflix is what Napster was for music, because movies were always too big to pirate it took a little longer.
Now it's too late, people don't buy a CD with one song for $12 dollars and they won't pay $100 for a cable subscription any longer.

The comments on this seem trapped by conventional thinking and pessimism. At a time, the 40 hour work week was seen as a fantasy that, if inacted, would destroy the economy. Instead, we saw rising productivity due to lower rates of illness and injury, among other factors. [1]

People aren’t robots, and there’s nothing magical about the current number of days and hours considered “normal”. There’s plenty to suggest that such a move would be a net benefit for society and the economy.

What a bullshit, PR-speak comment.

Let's compare this to digital piracy. Let's say I make a game and host it on my website. I am giving the game for free. Now maybe I have some ads in the game, maybe not. I want to get some exposure, so I ask a gaming site to link to my game (Google). At this point, everything is cool. I have a cool game, the gaming site has something to show people.

Well, the gaming site is big business and I'm a little fish. So in the interest in serving their customers they decide to host the game themselves (AMP). Hey, I'm hosting it online for free anyway, right? And because they love their customers sooo much, they did a cool thing where they dig through my game's code and strip out any ads I might have. It turns out their customers love this feature! Ads are annoying after all.

Of course, if I don't like this hosting feature I can opt out of it. But if I do, they will take my game and tuck it waaaay at the bottom of their list (or just remove it completely).

The reality is way worse than this, though. Because I no longer know when anyone downloads my game from the gaming site or plays my game. Should I make another game like the last one? How would I even know? The gaming site says not to worry, they have some convenient code I can add to my game to keep track of this for me.

Ok, you say - well if you don't like this wonderful service of having your game taken and stripped down and its usage hidden from you, just opt-out of the gaming site. But it's the ONLY gaming site 95%+ people ever visit. And although there are some minor benefits of stability and speed to users, users ALSO can't opt out of this - they can't even get to my site to download the game anymore even if they want to.

So what started as a partnership between content and distribution, where everyone is happy, has degraded into the distribution channel completely owning the audience and taking every bit of control from the creators of the content.

Which leads us to: > It's a monopolistic move to bully companies into handing over Google their content.

So please, tell me again how AMP is "democratizing technology".

My editor JOE has a built-in calculator equivalent to a Casio scientific: for example it can do statistics (sum, count, average, standard deviation) on a block of numbers you select in the edit buffer. I use this all the time.

In another project, I wrote a preprocessor for TeX- somewhat like Markdown, so that you can make TeX documents with an easier syntax. One of its features is a built-in calculator/spreadsheet. The idea is that \{1+2+3} is expanded with 6. You can also assign and reference variables \{a=3}. If these appear in a table, you can reference other cells: \{RRD+7} "Get first expression from cell two to the Right Right one Down and add 7 to it".

Anyway, I'd like this capability in the editor, will add it someday..
I think we're agreeing? Like using CORS headers is a mechanism used to bypass SOP when needed, which was implemented because HTTP handles cookies in a stupid way and now nobody wants to change how that's done, right? Like neither CORS nor SOP should've been necessary in the first place had cookies explicitly included the allowed senders instead of just the receivers.

(P.S. the way you phrased the request handling would violate causality, so I'm assuming you were referring to the OPTIONS check beforehand...)

> There's some controversy about the AI's field of vision. A person is restricted to using the small mini map for the "whole view" of the playing area. Whereas AlphaStar can view events without a visual restriction.

That has changed and AI's 'view' is now restricted.

From the FAQ:

> Q. How does AlphaStar perceive the game?

> A. Like human players, AlphaStar perceives the game using a camera-like view. This means that AlphaStar doesn’t receive information about its opponent unless it is within the camera’s field of view, and it can only move units to locations within its view. All limits on AlphaStar’s performance were designed in consultation with pro players.

I think the degree of disobedience from faculty varies between disciplines and schools. Professors in the humanities seem more inclined towards activism or iconoclasm than STEM. This isn't a dig at anyone, it's just that people who study social structures, interactions, and trends are seemingly more inclined to exert their ideological freedom(s). Meanwhile in STEM fields I think you're totally right: we keep our heads down and hyper-optimize for publishing research, leaving little space for rebellion or questioning of the academic status quo.

This is discussed in the post text, but happy to elaborate here in more detail here! Here is the patch links from Firefox[0] and from Chrome[1] which they specify that active mixed content policies do not apply to the localhost, because the w3c specification was updated to specifically allow this behaviour[2]. You might have to use 127.0.0.1 directly. So yes, it is possible and not factually incorrect.

Bike lanes on the sides of streets present problems for cyclists where there are frequent intersections. At those intersections, cyclists need to check for traffic overtaking them and then immediately making a right turn in front of them, traffic entering the roadway and encroaching in the bike lane, and oncoming traffic making a left turn across the bike lane.
Also work in defense, this is becoming pretty common. Although typically everyone takes the same friday off - that saves operating costs (no janitors or cafeteria on the off day). There's also the benefit that people tend to plan their vacations around the off-fridays, and work the full day on on-fridays. So you don't get stuck at the office trying to solve a problem with nobody to answer your questions at 3 on a summer friday.

Xkcd #2174: First News Memory
I run a ~20 person digital marketing company and we are experimenting with a 4 day week this summer. Everyone has Fridays off in June and July. Pay is unchanged.

Fundamentally it seemed like a cool thing to do for staff - more time to enjoy a summer in London. Doing whatever you want on a Friday - life admin, hobbies, long weekend away, recovering from a hangover... your call.

But then it also seemed like an opportunity to experiment with this new constraint. Could we avoid losing 20% of our output? We certainly didn’t want to work 2 extra hours per day. So the idea was to really take the chance to look at how we work, how we organise ourselves, how we prioritise, how we communicate and share. What can we automate or improve processes for. How we use meetings as a tool for value. And also how we really dive into our work with intensity and drive for the hours we are there.

Overall, sentiment across the company has been extremely positive. We certainly haven’t made up for the lost day in measurable improvements or efficiencies. But we have maybe got half way there - without inducing increased stress during the four days. The team feels more together. And we have probably all learned some skills that will make 5 day weeks that more productive when we restart them. So overall I would be surprised if it wasn’t win-win for all involved.

I can certainly see us doing this again next year - and maybe also again for a month like December. It really just feels good/right overall.
> directly leading to sales.

Like a lot of marketing and ad spend in general. Influencers (or any other media) are simply other channels to put product in front of people who no longer watch TV or read magazines.

That is not the case. Every every reporter has an editor he or she must report to. Sure, reporters are given some freedom on the stories they pursue, but it's hardly a hands-off approach.

Yes, you have only to look at the images generated by GANs to see that it's not inherent in the algorithm: images generated by GANs are not just a patchwork of textures, they have coherent shapes. They 'needed' shape in order to fool the discriminator, which in turn developed a sensitivity to shape in order to identify generated images (which probably do rely on texture early on) as fakes.
