You're strawmaning. I did not speak about making things secret. I also suggest you check this article out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Speech_Flag so you understand the difference between censorship and secrecy.
One way to do this would be to have privacy standards. EU PP0, PP1, PP2, etc., that would conform to particular uses of one's data.

Or at least have those as standardised starting points that cover the routine points that will be the same for 90% of data processing operations, so you only have to specify additional detail for things that might be unusual or surprising.

If you look at the template privacy policy that SpicyLemonZest linked to, a large proportion of it is boilerplate that covers either reasonable and normally expected data processing or standard notifications required under the GDPR etc. Repeating that more-or-less verbatim on every website someone visits today doesn't help either that person or those websites.

It would simplify things greatly if instead of all that boilerplate, a short list of one-liners is all you need to state if you're only performing normal data processing for common purposes, as defined by official privacy standards along the lines pbhjpbhj suggests but perhaps specific to each common purpose. Then you only need to elaborate on anything unusual or particularly sensitive, and anyone interested in how you're processing data about them can quickly identify such cases (or verify that there aren't any and they don't have anything to worry about).
arxiv is actually less open than most traditional venues.

Anyone can submit to most conferences and journals. Anyone at all! No PhD or reputation needed and it’s blind. All that matters is the quality of the research.

To submit to arxiv you need to be approved by someone as a legitimate researcher, or beg for reviews from people you’ve never met without any anonymity.

It’s somewhat a step backwards in some ways.

Just to clarify: this article is against gold standards, not against peer review. It concludes by observing that peer review is a necessity. The argument it raises is that peer review doesn't mean what lay audiences think it means.

I think they're clearly correct, and that even on HN, in a community that (roughly) prides itself on being scientifically literate, there are broad misunderstandings of what peer review means (during the bogus "Sokal Squared" hoax, for instance, many commenters implied that peer review prior to publication was meant to encompass replication). Also, while I'm not a "scientist", I've gotten to do some peer review work for ACM and Usenix, and even in the little bit of review I did, I seen some shit. There is much less formality and oversight to review than you might expect.
So, based on your statement, you're saying that if you don't like cars that means you must love all alternatives and never ever point out any issues with them even if they are utterly legitimate?
If scooters end up being used as a replacement for walking/cycling it certainly is not as green as those alternatives. I haven't seen a study as to what they are replacing, but I can't imagine for the mile or so trips that they are actually replacing cars.
I found this Harvard study a while back about the volume of litigation in the us versus other countries. Their conclusions are interesting.

PDF link: http://www.law.harvard.edu/programs/olin_center/papers/pdf/R...

"Coffee spills, Pokemon class actions, tobacco settlements. American courts have
made a name for themselves as a wild lottery and a money machine for a lucky few
lawyers. At least in part, however, the reputation is unfounded. American courts seem to
handle routine contract and tort disputes as well as their peers in other wealthy
democracies.

"More generally, Americans do not file an unusually high number of law suits.
They do not employ large numbers of judges or lawyers. They do not pay more than
people in comparable countries to enforce contracts. And they do not pay unusually high
prices for insurance against routine torts.

"Instead, American courts have made the bad name for themselves by mishandling
a few peculiar categories of law suits. In this article, we use securities class actions and
mass torts to illustrate the phenomenon, but anyone who reads a newspaper could suggest
alternatives.

"The implications for reform are straightforward: focus not on the litigation as a
whole; focus on the specifically mishandled types of suits."

I don't know where I first heard this, but I have in my head the impression that America has the reputation of being overly litigious because mis-behaving companies think they benefit from creating that misconception.
Because you’d rather have wasteful spending than moderately productive spending...? Seems like you want the government to waste money just so you can say “I told you so”.

Like it or not, defense spending is a huge boost to the middle class stem job market, and taking it out would have consequences wider ranging than you think. With “white collar welfare” I’d argue the gov gets a better return on its investment than most other options, while arguably making it harder for developing nations to become a threat via brain drain because the stem market is strong here.

I've posted elsewhere in this thread about this. There's really no reason to expect SSNs as strings for internal use. 32bit integers readily represent the same, as the max SSN is just a 9-digit number. I've seen at least one client store SSNs as INTs in a database and handle left-padding to 9 characters and interposing hyphens in display code.

Any 9-digit integers are immediately suspect under this reasonable storage choice.

Honestly most of the times that humans try to meddle in ecologies, as opposed to trying to do something else without thinking about ecologies at all, it tends to go all right?

Because go is always multithreaded.
You literally cannot do certain system level things in Go.
For instance trying to "setns" to a mount namespace will yield EINVAL from the kernel in all cases with Go.

In fact, all namespace related operations are really annoying to do from Go because the runtime is always multithreaded and you have no control over the threading except for locking the active goroutine to its currently assigned thread. This also makes that thread unusable for any new goroutine (even goroutines that are spawned from code running in that thread), which has the side-effect that the new goroutine will always be in the original namespace context.
Complexity of each one of those topics also increased a lot. Think about it, at that time a guy could just design the whole computer hardware, and write the software.

Just the other day my mom texted my address to a friend that wanted to mail me something. I want to know why Verizon didn't stop that from happening!

Verizon should be censoring all addresses from text messages, but I suppose it could allow them after a manual review process.

Why isn't the above address automatically censored?

Random fact: gasoline was initially a waste product of producing kerosene - essentially free.

So yes prices of gasoline went up once it started being widely used.

IMO the storage and transportation issue is what kills hydrogen. Also compression losses are nontrivial.

Assuming we need to manufacture fuel in renewable way methane or ethanol sounds like good ways to go. Both can be done in scale by abusing bacteria/algee.

Overall I want my car to just have a standard form factor "power unit" and swap it out to whatever the new hotness is.
They're not 'missing' anything. They're trying to convince others to agree with them.

Either they take a stand against holding all businesses liable for transfer of data, or those who pay them a membership fee will see an increase in liability or a decrease in the perceived precision of advertising data.

They're not missing the forest for the trees. They're busy logging the forest for the trees, and would very much like everyone to hear their call to action and join their side.

When an ocean wave hits a beach, the swashing action pushes grains of sand up and pulls them down. The shape of the beach (as observable in any given moment) is steady relative to a number of waves and governed by cumulative averages of their features, but will change as the direction of waves, tide, current, etc. shifts over time. A beach with finer sand but similar wave action and angle will have a different incline from one with coarser sand or pebbles.

I am optimistic, as is the article, that further research into variations in metal, light, angle of incidence, and time will lead to a better understanding of the parameters of this backwards electron motion effect, of the nature of light and electromagnetic waves, and moreover, the substrate/matrix in which both are active, perhaps even of dark matter and a moving-zero mass.

e-Scooters are small enough and, at least in Munich, allowed in public transport. As for destination: lock it on a tree or take it into your office.
Yes, but these startups will be working for a platform which will take a percentage of the profit and will have full control over how apps are ranked etc. Participating is much like gambling, except for the bigger players (which usually are not startups).

Instead there should be an open standard, e.g. like VHS used to be (they probably took a small flat fee but at least they were not in control of the entire market).
Self consistent is another major check. A lot of math and similar errors are caught in peer review.

The problem is that all these big surveillance as a service companies are vaccines for the state. Centralized data silos are setting the precedent that there is indeed a magic button that politicians/lawlers can push to control "The Internet".

It seems impossible and foolish to sue a protocol, until the precedent is gradually set that "reasonable" services implement many forms of state and corporate censorship. Then when the next thing happens that they don't like, their question becomes why are "lawless" decentralized protocols allowed to exist.

And obviously a protocol itself still can't be legislated out of existence. But its use can certainly be filtered, criminalized, etc. Even its development can be hampered if its cast as a "circumvention device" against status-quo censorship.

I don't think we're terribly far from having to fight this battle regardless - when consumer net neutrality fails, incumbent ISPs will discover most of their market is content with a default whitelist to save a few dollars. But hastening its arrival is not good.

Hmm. For VR HMDs, with RGB subpixels (non-PenTile), you can read a pixel-aligned 5 pt character in the center, but you don't get many of them (because of lens blur, and just VR lensing), and the pixels are a bit large. I've no idea how well SteamVR/Unreal/Unity currently let you use them. The lenses of Valve's Index were praised elsewhere here.

AR HMDs trade narrower FoV for angularly smaller pixels, and you can use "all" of them. But the pixels may be poorly aligned between eyes, as with Project North Star. Maybe Hololens 2 (with different a-v issues). I can't comment on Magic Leap. I look forward to trying next month's/year's Nreal glasses.

Media-viewing and drone HMDs offer a screen at some distance. Some are stereo 3D. Some are 1080p. Few have head tracking. You can add it with Intel t265, Zed, Structure Core (no linux), or DIY. Many have a "diopter" adjustment. They've varied build quality, and supported nose sizes.

Some months back, I failed to find a 3D 1080p HMD, and so currently use mono 1080p DJI drone goggles (discontinued cheaper white model), with anaglyph (crushing the color space to reduce eye strain) or DIY shutter (flickery 30 or 20 Hz) to recover 3D. :/ Usually with reading glasses, despite my old eyes being nearsighted, which costs some edge pixels. DIY optical tracking, so no temporal antialiasing. I'd not recommend it.

My current hope is for a Q4, 1080p, 50-ish degree FoV, 3D "screen" HMD (media-viewer or AR). With either head tracking built in, or COTS. It may need a Windows box in support, especially for hand tracking. I'll likely stay with a simple custom browser-as-compositor stack, for low-cost pixel-precise control, but a mainstream VR or AR stack might work too.
Personally, I view any study in the less scientific fields (i.e. those that routinely accept p < 0.05 as "proven") as suspect, unless it's preregistered, has full data available for the public to check, and has p < 0.01. (I'm neither aware of any such study, nor have I looked for it... I'm just saying that that should be the minimal acceptable standard for e.g. psychology and medicine.)
You gotta give it to those cops playing with the protesters in the second video... Judging by the difference in weapons, those young guys got away with more than a fun experience to look back, retell, relive... Reminds me of NYC occupy protesters busting into McDonalds' buildings to take milk.

Is that a problem, though? CO2 emissions aren't locally toxic. The main issue with it today is the fact that the carbon comes from the ground and doesn't get put back. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas too!
Yep, that’s one of the biggest takeaways I got from observing my friends who got their education from known good CS programs vs. weak CS programs.

Those in good programs had classes that were focused on the actual subject matter (algorithms, OS, compilers, ML, etc.) with the language just being a tool, and in upper level classes, professors absolutely didn’t even care what language you used, as long as it got the job done (within reasonable limits, of course; no one likes grading BrainFuck code, even though some people attempted writing assignments in those as a joke).

Those in weaker programs, instead, had a “Java class”, “C class”, “javascript class”, etc.
How Does the Development Mode Work?
They're still 20-30lbs to drag around (up stairs, etc.) and anything you're dragging around becomes cumbersome on crowded trains/buses. In many places locking something expensive to a tree just means someone will steal it assuming it's even legal to lock it to that structure. People also go to more than just work and I suspect, for example, a stand up comedy club would frown upon you dragging your scooter in with you.
That isn't really fair.

You are comparing something that has laws and rules, a dedicated place to 'drive' and have billions of miles driven.

Right now in most places these scooters follow whatever laws they want (if faster in middle of street, it is there, if faster on sidewalk, it is there). People aren't accountable (no driver license, hard to track) and idiots.
