It's interesting to me that people who are likely very uncomfortable with felony disenfranchisement seem so supremely comfortable with socially exiling someone for having committed a nonviolent crime in his past.

I'm sure someone will respond by saying that he was continuing to commit those crimes, and that appears to be true. But that wasn't necessarily known to anyone else at the time.
Nice abstract.

Being a judge is a career and an incredibly competitive one at that.

Being a scientist is very similar.

Better to play it safe than to risk looking incompetent. Or worse, politically vulnerable.

Authoritarian technocracies require experts and "consensus" to overwhelm people into popular complacency.

Laws matter less, so Judges matter more.
Coming from C (no ++) and Java the first thing I noticed after a month with Ruby (in 2005?) was that I didn't write any for loop. I mean, those useless for (i = 0; i < length (array); i++). They become array.each. Then I loved the blocks and later on the postfix if and unless. It's not perfect, it's got its quirks and metaprogramming sometimes is easier in Python, sometimes not, but overall it's the easiest language I used so far. I never tried Crystal because of the compilation step. I really don't need the extra speed for my sw and no customer asked me Crystal so far. I guess it's going to be a similarly pleasant experience.
1. By accelerating dramatically off the line, you're telling the other cars that they are driving too slowly.

Which they often are. No fuel or pollution is saved when you creep away from a light so slowly that it keeps several cars behind you from making it through until the next cycle.

Oh his track record cuts longer and deeper than that. Look up what he did in South America. There's a whole lot of blood on John Negroponte's hands. Nicholas must take solace in the fact that he isn't directly responsible for as many deaths and as much corruption as his brother John, for what it's worth.

>Based upon the Committee's review of State Department and CIA documents, it would seem that Ambassador Negroponte knew far more about government perpetrated human rights abuses than he chose to share with the committee in 1989 or in Embassy contributions at the time to annual State Department Human Rights reports.
Any primitive recursive algorithm can be trivially transformed into a series of for loops and a stack object. Any recursive algorithm can be trivially translated into a series of white loops and a stack object.

An exercise for people who don't understand recursion: get recursive algorithms from a book and use your built in Python or whatever stack class and make them into for loops in a cookie-cutter way.

This is making a myth about the Big Conceptual Leap from small for loops into Big Recursion. It is literally impossible to not do recursion if you understand for loops. At the very worst, you can write it out in for loops first and then translate it piece-by-piece.
But you can start off with an architecture that requires a full rewrite to make it better.
We're deliberately getting government out of the business of harassing marginalized people in public spaces for others' comfort. It's not an accident or a failure that public spaces are uncomfortable.
Rape is a violent crime.
They are not mutually exclusive. Pi-hole supports dns-over-https. My concern with this technology is my port 53 masquerade rule on my router will no longer grab all dns requests when this becomes common practice. I imagine there will be a solution but I'm not sure what it is.
I understand the point you are making in this comment. The fervent support for Mugabe can be confusing. TO expand on your answer and to inform HN crowd here are some I think people support Mugabe.

1. Once a hero, always a hero. Africans struggle to turn on liberation movement leaders. We feel we owe them our freedom. For some people, liberation movement leaders can never do anything wrong.
This leads to my point two.

2. Some families have always associated themselves with liberation movements. It maybe the father joined the party or a son, sister, cousin joined the party a long time ago and family feels obligated to support the party

3. Mugabe was gifted speaker who tapped into the anti imperialist/colonialist sentiment in Africa. He is loved by many Africans because he dared publicly speak out against the West. He always loved Europe until they put sanctions on him and then he turned towards the East.

4. Mugabe ran on a tribal ticket. You will find more supporters in certain tribes than in others.

The biggest reason he is still popular today is because of his anti West rhetoric. Which is a pity but to each their own. I hope this sheds some light to an HNer who encounters Africans who think the world of Mugabe.
Yeah, you can re-configure Pi-Hole to use DoH (with your preferred servers). unbound can be configured to use DoH as well.
OH yeah?!

Author of MaxTo here. It is very much alive, but there is just me working on it so progress is sometimes slow.

There are some very cool things coming in the next release:
- support for different triggers, that lets you run specific commands in response to windows events. Basically our recipes feature extended quite a bit.
- WinSplit-like hotkeys for those who liked those. Configurable.
- lots of these small quality of life improvements

Ask HN: Why does Google index pages I cannot access?
Today I googled "follow famous readers online" and this is the top result:

https://www.nytimes.com/programs/better-reader/day-1

Google shows that the term is on the page. But when I try to access it, it redirects me to a signup page.

What's the deal here?

Does Google not notice that? Does it turn a blind eye? Does the NYT trick Google by displaying something else to Google then to me?

Or are pages that only members can read now part of the Google index?
This surprised me -

> He supports his wife and three children with his income of about 1500 Rwandan francs per day (about USD $1.73)

My understanding is that raising a child in most developed western countries is just mind-bogglingly expensive. The purchasing power here has to be wildly skewed from the actual FRw/USD forex rate.

What does 1500 FRw look like in USD (or EUR or AUD or, ...), not going by the official forex rate, but normalized for the cost of raising three children? Like the Big Mac Index but a childcare index.

Just a guess, but perhaps the only other map users had pulled over to the side and stopped. Google may have interpreted that as a traffic jam and you didn’t see them. I’m not arguing a point, it’s just a thought as to how that may happen.

If true that DoH can be disabled at network level, ad-blocking solutions like pihole should probably implement it by default.

Anyone have any idea if this is the case?

That would at least save me a lot of trouble and work.
Most electric motors are most efficient and can generate the most power within a certain RPM range. (It's a lot wider than gas engines, but beyond a certain speed the torque falls off.) If you can drive at high speeds at a more efficient motor RPM, then that's less excess heat for the motor and inverter to deal with, and less current draw from the batteries.
For single-speed EV’s, the motors are operating very far away from their maximum efficiency point at high speeds. By upshifting, you can reduce the number of revs required at top speed, which should improve efficiency and reduce heating of the motors.
Thank you for you purchase. I'm the author of MaxTo.

I'm not too worried about the competition here; MaxTo's feature set is expanding and will remain quite a bit more powerful than FancyZones for the overseeable future. :)
Sheesh, that is terrifying...
At what point can I expect Mozilla to start proxying my web requests as well?
What is the latency for DoH compared to traditional UDP DNS?
I wish Mozilla had Firefox version free from all integrations with 3rd parties.
The article explicitly mentions the way to tell applications including Firefox not to disregard the OS DNS: blocking a canary domain. It even links to detailed instructions.

Frankly, given how much trouble I've had with systemd's DNS meddling, I look forward to applications taking DNS under their own control.
There are plenty of “nonviolent” crimes that are so reprehensible that civilized society should turn its back on the perpetrator. Epstein has committed one or (very likely) more of these. And, with regards to your odd mention of felony disenfranchisement: felons should be able to vote, just as revolting sexual predators should.
That's reasonable (and I actually do like Ada somewhat) but the satisfaction of figuring out a nice algorithm in APL and writing an equivalent in Ada are just… not the same.

Though I'm not really sure I'd call maintaining invariants and pre/postconditions mathematical elegance per se, it feels like good engineering. Like you've built something that's solid.

Perhaps I am too naive but what is wrong with accepting a donation from a person you didn't know was a criminal?

Proper regulations will just be declared acts of trade war and parts of the world will have a american plane blacklist for airports.

But without mortar, you'd just knock it over with one clumsy stumble, right?
You mean besides planning for it, organizing it and paying for it?
Computer science and math is useful beyond just algorithms and data structures. Understanding the mathematics behind program construction would allow more programmers to write composable code and more general, re-usable, less ad-hoc APIs; and do a better job of gluing existing components together.
Mozilla can only speak for their applications and they seem to eventually intend Firefox to use DoH as default and fallback to OS DNS under various failure conditions some of which are mentioned in the post. They also say:

"When DoH is enabled, users will be notified and given the opportunity to opt out."
Ugh, the deliver program should be a seperate process then with some sort of privilege seperation scheme perhaps. Postfix also handles .forward files from memory, I wonder how it does it.

Maybe the Exim people don't feel like its worthwhile to rearchitect it, given that there are MTA's with more secure designs/implementations out there already.

How is that interesting at all?

A professor can be kicked out of a university and "socially exiled" for plagiarism.

Plagiarism isn't even illegal. (Plagiarism is different from copyright infringement, which is illegal.)

As John Stuart Mills wrote in "On Liberty", saying:

"""We have a right, also, in various ways, to act upon our unfavourable opinion of any one, not to the oppression of his individuality, but in the exercise of ours. We are not bound, for example, to seek his society; we have a right to avoid it (though not to parade the avoidance), for we have a right to choose the society most acceptable to us. We have a right, and it may be our duty, to caution others against him, if we think his example or conversation likely to have a pernicious effect on those with whom he associates. We may give others a preference over him in optional good offices, except those which tend to his improvement. In these various modes a person may suffer very severe penalties at the hands of others, for faults which directly concern only himself; but he suffers these penalties only in so far as they are the natural, and, as it were, the spontaneous consequences of the faults themselves, not because they are purposely inflicted on him for the sake of punishment."""

What are you arguing exactly? We should support disenfranchisement if we believe in institutionally ostracizing rich criminals?
I think it makes more sense if you look at the specific institution within MIT (the media lab) which has this particular problem.

So while MIT itself may have ample funding from non shady sources, Perhaps this institution doesn’t. Or perhaps it does and the people working there just want to prove their worth by securing funding (which is what most university administrators are incentivized to do).

But this is a win overall for privacy.

DNS is used by ISPs to sell user's data and is one way that oppressive regimes track what their users do.

If you're technical enough to understand DNS then you are smart enough to change what the default is.

> More than one billion people have lifted themselves out of extreme poverty, driven by improvements in health, agriculture, and education.

I don't understand, is the increasing inequality and income concentration a mirage, a lie, or propaganda?

It would be nice to introduce the concept of relative and absolute wealth. If you increase the size of the cake, the poor will get more crumbs, and you did reduce poverty, but it's not really a fair improvement.

I wish Bill Gates would have to guts to do politics. He seems smart but to me it's never enough.
One of the problems we have as Africa is we struggle to separate practical systems introduced by oppressive governments from the ideologies the governments that came up with these ideas. An example is the Rhodesian government did some good work in identifying different agricultural zones within Zimbabwe. They put up extensive fencing making it easy to deal with disease outbreaks. We were able to export beef to the EU, using the train built by Rhodes (to Cape Town port). I digress. The fences have not been maintained the EU will not touch our beef because we cannot guarantee it is free of Foot and Mouth disease. Our neighboring countries immediately shoot and burn Zimbabwean cattle if they stray into their countries because they don't want to tainted. Due to sanctions the Rhodesian government worked out a way to use sugar cane created ethanol as an additive to petrol. Unfortunately most of these types of debates get very emotional and it is hard to separate the ideology from good practical science and practice.

This is completely misleading, close to lying.

I lived with less than $2 a day. The average salary in the country was less than $100 and this was in Eastern Europe, not in Africa. What changes the story completely is that the exchange rate makes all the difference in my case: we all had a fairly regular life, but the exchange rate was showing a very dark picture. Yes, we were not able to buy American cars in dollars, but a local built Renault copy was a few thousands dollars new. All the prices were extremely low in dollars, but meaningful in local currency. We had not just the basics (food, electricity, house), but an almost normal life.

25 years later, the average salary is more than 10 times more, in US dollars only. An iPhone is now 10 times cheaper, but the price structure is more or less the same and nothing changed, just the exchange rate. The food is 10 times more expensive in dollars, rent is 10 times more, the few things that are more expensive today in local currency are the ones that are heavily taxed, like gas and tobacco.
>SUSTAINABLE, ULTRA-LOW CARBON - using PCs that already exist but are just underused

Wow, do they honestly believe their own marketing nonsense? There's no way the PUE and power efficiency of a bunch of old random desktop computers is going to come close to beating a modern Amazon, Google, or Microsoft datacenter. Cost wise, yeah sure, I'd bet it would be cheaper even with the lower efficiency and increased power usage but as far as "super-green" and low emissions this is just absurd. I think they might honestly not know that idle power usage is a small fraction of full load usage for any modern processor.
