> there are going to be a number of fatalities during traffic stops

From a US point of view 300 killed among several thousands millions of people can be seen as (statistically) reasonable and the article reflects that point of view accurately.

The problem is that from a non US point of view and comparing with other places with similar number of interactions this feels like a outrageous and strangely high number. The ever increasing number of cases of perfectly innocent people in their way to home killed by police by mistake or by "mistake" (specially if most of this people are black or hispanic) is also hard to swallow.

* Websites: Wirecutter

* Books: How to Get Lucky, Self-Therapy
Why not? Are you implying that it would technically break some sort of system or something like that? If I legally own a billion dollars in a Swiss bank, and I want to move it to a Cayman Islands bank, there is certainly a room full of well-paid men in fancy suits that will gladly accommodate that.

Or, perhaps more similar to the topic, if I wanted to move a billion dollars from one UBS account to a new UBS account, I certainly could. Some special guy would probably have to turn the key for me, but if I have a billion dollars in a UBS account I surely know that man by name. And also, I would have the benefit of doing it privately, unlike with Bitcoin.
That's pretty ironic :)
Unfortunately that's how the data is provided [1]. Maybe because the Great Lakes were carved by geologically recent glaciation, and the model is built off tectonic plate movement.

My biggest concern with 5G is whether the standards and implementation are being done by [1] companies based in democratic countries, or [2] companies based in non-free (dictatorship-run) countries where the companies have close ties with the regime that runs the country.

Products from companies in the latter bracket seem to have a history of suspiciously simple backdoors and a record of sending data "back home".
Yep! Thus why I mentioned I wouldn't necessarily trust something from a dispensary as being safe. People have reported seeing some of the Dank Vapes/Mario Kart/etc. cartridges in dispensaries in California as well, despite these 100% being 'black market' cartridges of unknown origin.
For companies that offer "unlimited" PTO, it is good to ask what is the average number of days actually taken off by employees. Are multi-week vacations doable? Have vacations ever been denied (happened to me)?
No matter how unpopular it becomes, it'll just be lowered in value, eg, deflated, but still usable. It will never fail unless the cryptography underlying it (or a bug in the design) causes it to fail.
The link isn't removed on the keybase side but the next time it's checked it will be flagged as bad. Clients will check it automatically when you follow; otherwise, I believe what happens is the system will periodically check it and cache that data for some time (so that way you're not hitting the external services every single time you visit someone's profile).

> one issue I’ve experienced with running an IPFS node is that it can use quite a bit of bandwidth, just for making the network work (not even for serving your content!). This has been greatly mitigated with IPFS 0.4.19, but my Azure VMs are still measuring around 160GB/month of outbound traffic (it was over 400 GB with IPFS 0.4.18).

I'm not sure if that's 160gb/vm or 160gb across all vms - but either way that's 10-30 usd/month in bandwidth?

Pretty steep compared to a (single) 5usd/month vm or free (free tier of cdn provider).

Ask HN: What life lessons do you wish you learned earlier?
I bet the answer is delusion. Maybe it arises from insecurity?
IMHO, It should be more than that.

Apple does not control a market, but it controls a marketplace. Perhaps the fact that Apple's marketplace isn't the largest by most measures allows it to set rather market-fixing terms to the stalls it allows others to put in it, perhaps that's ok.

But once the other stalls paid their legal due to the marketplace owner (i.e. assented to the various terms, as unfair they may be), they and the customers have a justified expectation that competition would be fair from now on - the default is fair and free competition, and inasmuch as the other stalls haven't signed their rights off, these must be respected.

Now if the marketplace owner would then put in further roadblocks to make the other stalls hard to find and his stalls easy to find, despite that not being in the original terms, that should be not legal. As far as I know, nowhere did Apple reserve the 'right' to hide other due-paying apps and promote its own in searches.

For that alone, Apple's behaviour should be banned outright, even if it is their marketplace. If Apple can constantly alter the deal, than no stall or customer can be safe. The long term process would then be in favour of eliminating competition, both internally in Apple's marketplace, and in general as vendors flee to the largest marketplace since it is regulated by law. That's not in the public interest at all.

Wouldn’t a bank or institutional investor also spread this up into multiple wallets? Doesn’t take a genius to diversify risk of a wallet breach.
A tx will go from your client (which should reject an invalid tx to start with) to a node (which will verify and reject an invalid tx) to many other nodes (which will all verify and reject an invalid tx) to the node that's publishing the next block (which will verify and reject an invalid tx). I guess a broken client could think a tx is valid when it's not and not let you re-spend it, but it'll be rejected pretty much immediately after that.

Technically there is no such thing as a nonexistent address. There are used and unused addresses -- an unused address is just an address with no history, but there's no way to tell if anyone has the private keys for it or not. I guess it's possible accidentally typo an address that somehow passes checksum (let's pretend that people actually type in addresses... nobody does that, copy/paste or QR code) but it's very very unlikely.

I haven't heard of PirateChain. However, the state-level threat model includes things like taxes, where (e.g.) people in the US have to report every transaction they make.

If most people report their PirateChain transactions, amount in, amount out, then the problem is that unreported transactions would stick out and would probably be associable with wallets. Am I getting this wrong?

It's not just weight that's variable, it's flavor too!

I cook all of my family's meals, and when I started out years ago, I tried to write down recipes exactly, weigh everything (how much is a cup of flour when density varies?), but then I realized, all the damn ingredients aren't the same twice.

Carrots can go from bitter to sweet, potatoes can range from starchy to gooey, herbs can be really subtle, or really strong, it depends on the weather. Even in my own garden, the herbs are completely variable. The only thing that seems consistent is meats and inorganic things like salt. Corn fed beef is different from grass fed beef, for example, but within each category, pretty consistent.

So, frustrating as it is, it's near impossible to write a perfectly reproducible recipe.

There are two sources of crime statistics: police and FBI records, and then a survey of households called the National Crime Victimization Survey carried out by BJS.

As you say police recorded crime isn't seen as reliable because there's too much variation across time and in different areas.

The crime survey is seen as statistically sound though.

Quoting etymonline.com here,

The explanation that male homosexuals were called faggots because they were burned at the stake as punishment is an etymological urban legend. Burning sometimes was a punishment meted out to homosexuals in Christian Europe (on the suggestion of the Biblical fate of Sodom and Gomorrah), but in England, where parliament had made homosexuality a capital offense in 1533, hanging was the method prescribed. Use of faggot in connection with public executions had long been obscure English historical trivia by the time the word began to be used for "male homosexual" in 20th century American slang, whereas the contemptuous slang word for "woman" (in common with the other possible sources or influences listed here) was in active use early 20c., by D.H. Lawrence and James Joyce, among others.

We'll definitely consider it!
Just needed to start with something :)
This post appears to me like two paragraphs of correct and important information, cut in two by a seemingly unrelated quote that summarizes to nothing more than "rich people are evil". People with greater wealth having access to certain services and procedures that normal people don't is unrelated to all rich people supposedly looking down on everyone else.
Yes, your understanding is correct. I think it's slightly better than you suggest... since instance identity authentication only works once per instance (by default) you'd probably have some other monitoring stuff in your stack that would notice if a VM went rogue. If a `foo` instance got a cert for `bar` your CD stack would presumably still consider it a `foo` instance and, for example, add it to DNS as `foo`. Then connections to that instance would fail (since it can't authenticate as `foo`) and, hopefully, you'd notice.

Still, this is hand-wavey and complicated and not ideal from a security perspective. It's a lot better than not having certificates at all, but it'd be even better if this gap were closed.

To close this gap we need some sort of enrollment process. The reason we didn't add this for MVP is it's kind of complicated. I think we'd need some policy at the CA that maps VM identities to the workload identities the VM is authorized to run. We need to figure out what would run this enrollment step to add the mappings (probably different for different stacks) and how that thing would authenticate to the CA.

We've also been a bit reluctant to add ad-hoc policy stuff to the CA because we have a generic policy solution that we've been working on. Once that's released it'll give us a much better foundation for this sort of stuff.

Finally, there are other ways to build a stronger enrollment mechanism today. We have a JWT-based one-time-token authentication mechanism[1] that you can use, where a "provisioner" (e.g., something in your CD pipeline like Puppet or Kubernetes) issues a one-time token for a workload to get a certificate from `step-ca`. In this flow the JWT contains the workload's identity, so whatever issues the JWT controls certificate enrollment. This flow has pretty much the same characteristics as an IID+enrollment flow.

Finally, we have ACME support coming soon (next week, actually). So that'll be another option if you want a stronger binding to an instance's FQDN.

Hope this makes sense. Happy to answer any additional questions!

fag/fagging is probably from the verb form, "to tire out/exhaust" -- ie, underclassmen get to do all the work.

I have always been a fan of flex. The thing that impressed me in this table is the speed-up from the -F and -f options -- I didn't realize it could make a 4X difference.

Anyway, in this benchmark, the author gets about a 15% speed-up going hand-coded over -f. Given that, my take-away is that flex is almost always the right answer for most lexing applications, because most of the time maintainability is going to win over getting the last 15%. If you absolutely need that last 15%, you know it, and a living a specialized life.

It's fine to hold politicians and such to higher standards, expecting them to choose their words carefully. That's why it's called political correctness.

My personal opinion is yes.

What mean to say is, if you are a purveyor of nicotine products in a professional manner, probably best to not recommend nicotine containing products outside the context of smoking cessation.

Though this line of inquiry rapid segues in to a philosophical debate.
All your stove can tell you is how much heat it's producing. It can't tell you how fast your pan heats up, how long your pan has been on the stove, and whether you just tossed in a half pound of ground pork.

What you can do with this information is see relative smoke points. Unrefined versions of oils have lower smoke points than refined, extra-virgin olive oil has a lower smoke point than peanut oil and canola oil. If you buy an oil at the store that you've never used before, you can check whether its smoke point is higher or lower than the oil you're accustomed to using. If you're in the middle of cooking realize you've run out of everything except the flaxseed oil you've been using for salad dressing, you can look at this chart and realize you should probably run to the store rather than try to cook with it.
That's a good point.

Hi all, I built this using an existing model called PALEOMAP [1]. Geologists use desktop software called GPlates that defines a "rotation file" format describing the movement of tectonic plates. I wrote code that uses this file to reverse the rotation of latlng coordinates at arbitrary moments in time.

You used to be able to enter an exact address on this site, but the server would overload under heavy traffic as the rotation calculations are CPU intensive (geocoding is also expensive). I solved this problem by precomputing a grid of transformations across 26 out of the 91 available moments in time and reducing the geocoding resolution to about 200,000 cities.

The entire history of every transaction between every wallet is visible. This means if someone knows your wallet ID (i.e. you bought something from them and shipped it) they know exactly how much bitcoin you have in that wallet.

Some people try to be anonymous on it, but as some of the drug dealers on Wall Street Market found out, that's pretty hard to do. Law enforcement was able to track down some of them by tracing their bitcoin transactions.
