Ah, interesting.

I suspect they mean the wider NYC area. Manhattan itself is just shy of 34 square miles, and I think it is probably more surveillance dense per square mile than any other place in the US, but that may not apply to the wider NYC area.

The difference is that intelligence gathering after obtaining a subpoena is an acceptable practice. The heat that the US was under was for their mass surveillance of its own population.

Upstream tests are generally done at the LLVM IR level actually. It's mostly just a question of (1) time; (2) worries about ongoing maintenance work upstream; (3) a general feeling that perhaps such optimizations are best done on MIR anyway, because they'll be more effective there than they would be in LLVM.

There’s a clear point where Fat Tony goes off the rails: depending on your view, it’s either right at the start (if you believe it’s not right to steal bread to feed your starving family) or at the point where he spontaneously switches from bread to cigarettes.

I’m curious which part of my comment you think plays that role.
The article might sound non-sense (to you, a power-user?), but most people do require a simple to setup and use software, too. That's how usually things are. Photoshop was great, but then came along Sketch and Figma. Lotus was great, then came along Word and Docs; but there's market for plain-text editors like notepad++ / cot-editor, too.

The other day I saw a ms-excel to webpage builder shared on news.yc voted to the front-page, there's also a google-sheets to app builder that did YC last year... I wonder if there's a market for notepad / word / docs to webpages, too? This article makes it seem like there might be one.
The original article - https://www.comparitech.com/vpn-privacy/the-worlds-most-surv... - explains the source of the data. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bKBFiVXNzrgtW95j66Tp... shows the source of the camera counts. The population counts came from http://worldpopulationreview.com/world-cities/. Just the fact that the counts came from two different places make this data pretty dubious.

A better methodology would be to do a physical audit. Have some people in each city manually count the number of cameras over some area, then extrapolate from there. This has the flaw of missing hidden or inaccessible cameras, but at least would be consistent.

I'd put a stronger argument: if everyone suddenly stopped doing stuff, the global economy would collapse, most people would starve to death, all our technology would rot and disappear in couple decades, and the few survivors would live with medieval-level technology on a thoroughly broken planet with no chance of regaining any advanced tools for thousands, or tens of thousands of years (as all dense energy sources accessible without XXI-century tech have been used up).

There is an often unmentioned extra constraint on dealing with climate change: we have to do it in a way that doesn't break technological civilization.

I'm not too shy to say that I kind of love getting toys from McDonalds. The amount of Pokemon / Nintendo / etc toys I've gotten have vastly improved my desk set up. They're kind of nice when real figures in a store would cost $15-20 CAD, and with way less packaging to boot.

I understand I'm probably an outlier, however.
People wouldn't need to spend significant portions of their precious life making, moving, and selling things to others in paradise, utopia, or Heaven. Of course there would be no advertising, there'd be no treadmill of consumerism to necessitate such a thing.

> Also one more thing which is less talked about is Tesla's autopilot being useful for people with disabilities although Tesla hasn't added any specific features for people with disabilities AFAIK.

Autopilot isn't solution for disabilities. If you aren't able to drive car without AP, you cannot drive one with AP - you have to be able to intervene and take over at any point of AP operation.

Don't get people killed by spreading misinformation.
That seems to be specific to the UK. In most places I've looked into this, taxes on things like fuel and cigarettes do not go into the general fund. The reason is the taxes are meant to achieve something, and so they go towards that purpose. Otherwise it would present a corrupting influence that misaligns the incentive of the government going forward.

1. Their using the word subsidy to trigger an emotional response; when we determine economic cost this is not what the word means and they know it

2. By calling it a subsidy they treat the cost as a precise quantifiable value which is most certainly is not.

Ships can probably be run off hydrogen, and if that is impossible for some reason you can always make synthetic fuels. Airplanes could also run off synthetic fuels, but since airplane emissions are actually a lot worse than just their CO2 output, that is not a good solution.

And that is fine, in my opinion. I don't think it's self dealing. If you think climate change is an urgent issue, you fund solutions. When you fund solutions, you choose the best option. When you're ready to act on it, you choose the best option.
I do not think the change in tone/civility and is due to the 'comments' only.

The change is also due to the topics and topics sources constantly pushed into the discussion (often by very high-karma participants).

HN has basically become

NYT/BBC/WallStreetJournal/Vox/Slate/BuzzFeed discussion forum (for anything relating to environment/economy/politics).

Seems that more reasonable technical (although, narrower in scientific scope) discussion is happening on lobste.rs

In there, there is also publicly viewable moderation log, that helps to understand/evaluate how moderation decisions are made.

To me the change started happening in about 2014 where public deplatforming/takedowns became normalized in Software tech sector.

However, I also agree that this type of change at HN, accelerated in more recent years.
Absolutely - imagine if there was a system where you had one delivery a week which consisted of all the items from all the shopping you'd done, instead of piecemeal deliveries throughout the week. The savings could be immense, but I can't imagine such a system being popular.
Page 3, the scoping section clearly lists the three addresses where physical testing would take place. Page 5 also lists it on the timeline, which based on other notes about not testing specific days - the client would have absolutely reviewed. Page 12 is a client questionnaire where they answer physical security questions.

People do get arrested doing this type of work. It hasn't happened to me, but it has happened to people I know. Usually it is quickly and quietly resolved without the press being involved.

What I believe is at issue here is authority. Can a state entity authorize testing of county buildings? Some people just assume "the government" is one entity. This same type of issue arises in corporate work as well - can a tenant authorize testing against a landlords building? You need to get both to agree.

(Disclaimer: I do this type of work so I might be biased)
That's often done, but Rust is shipped on all major Linux distros using the system LLVM, which is often at least 6 months old, or years old, so it needs the workarounds anyways to be able to work with those. The LLVM fixes take a while to percolate back, and Rust supports up to LLVM versions that are ~2 years old (LTS linux distros). The workarounds can only be removed once versions without the fix are no longer supported.
> “Easier” is completely subjective, no way you can demonstrate that.

I agree it's subjective. While there's no exact measurement for this sort of thing, the proxy measure people usually use is adoption; and if you look into for example Cypher vs. SPARQL adoption, Neo4j vs. RDF store adoption, people are basically voting with their feet.

From my personal experiences developing software with both, I've found property graphs much simpler and a better map for how people think of data.

It's true that RDF tries to solve data interchange on the web scale. That's what it was designed for. But the original design vision, in my view, hasn't come to fruition. There are bits and pieces that have been adopted to great effect (things like RDF microformats for tagging HTML docs) but nothing like what the vision was.

People keep saying it's the sheriff's fault for not listening, or being on a power trip or something and referencing this article. But this quote from the article is pretty important and implies that Coalfire exceeded what was allowed in the contract.

"According to the agreement, all Coalfire tests were to be conducted between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. But tests could be carried out outside that range if requested through a change order.

The break-ins in Adel and Des Moines were investigated around midnight on separate days.

No change order was released that would have indicated the judicial branch wished the tests be carried out at night."

So how does this work? Right now, Amazon outsources delivery. Will they be building huge garages for their fleet? Or trying to get their drivers to pay for the vans, like Uber? And like they did in 2018, when they "bought" 20,000 Mercedes vans?[1] That deal: "Amazon will not own the vans but they will be handled by fleet management companies, who will then lease them to the delivery service owners."

"Gifts in kind aren’t subsidies?"

They can be but that's less common. The key difference is that a subsidy is direct and an active policy.

For example, when people talk about subsidies for renewables, they aren't talking about any externalized costs of manufacture, which do exist, they are talking about direct government gifts and tax breaks deliberately put in place to encourage investment in renewables. When people talk about subsidies given to fossil fuels the same is true, especially when they are being compared to renewables as is the case in this discussion.

"he" is a huge powerful collective of similar viewpoints. If you don't feel the need to win them over how do you expect to ever affect change?

"he" is not just some evil, fat-cat oil company exec; they are entire communities and large groups of broad-based people

"he" is not an absolute position that global warming doesn't exist; it's a broad spectrum of opinions ranging from climate deniers to those concerned with the painful impact of treatment that may be widely ineffective.

in short: discount huge portions of the population at your own peril; don't expect them to rally to your cause if they're beneath your consideration.

> The Institute’s results also demonstrate the exceptional strength of Model 3’s all-glass roof, which is supported by a very strong metal body structure and helps protect occupants in roll-over crashes. During testing, the car’s roof was able to successfully resist more than 20,000 pounds of force – that’s more than if we placed five Model 3s on top of the car’s roof at once. And, the roof earned a higher strength-to-weight ratio score than any other fully electric vehicle that IIHS has ever tested.
Fair! Thanks for the reminder.

You're right; I was very early into this thread, when those comments were still at the top.

And also the mobile app I use doesn't have a down vote button, so my "I want to react" urge had to go through a new comment instead of the voting itself. I'll flip over to chrome and down vote there next time.
Any sources to back up all those claims? Because as much as I want to believe — this reads like something Fox Mulder would say.
Which is interesting since they said that the physical pentesting could be "during day and evening," but you're right. Haven't seen anything affirmatively allowing them to conduct outside of 6am-6pm MST.

They DID have permission to lockpick, and maybe the state asked for testing after 6pm MST but hasn't released the request (per the blurb below)

"Requests for testing outside this time period outside the above may result in additional charges per the terms of the MSA"
I don't know what the reduction goal is, but a quick duckduckgoing found a number of 45 billion metric tons of CO2 added each year[1] as of 2017, which comes out to 12.2 billion metric tons of carbon (C is ~27% of CO2 by weight). So 4 million metric tons of carbon is about 0.03 percent of that total.

I did something similar few weeks ago; I put a science lab, a habitat and a bunch of fuel and RCS tanks in low Munar orbit, and designed a reusable lander for it. Try it, it's more rewarding than it sounds - if you want to collect Science from various points on the Mun, the whole round-trip to Kerbin quickly starts to feel like a chore. With a station in orbit, you also get to do more docking, which is one of my favourite parts of the game.
>This is one of the most blatantly pro-fossil, anti-renewable posts I have seen on HN.

Reality itself is pro-fossil. Fossil fuel is very damaging, but it's also an excellent, almost free, source of huge amounts of stored energy left for us to discover and use...

Solar/wind are much cleaner, but oversold.

If we got rid of fossils tonight, we'd be in the dark ages for decades (if not permanently). Even building solar/wind installations, at the moment, relies on fossil fuel infrastructure, plus the traditional grid required...

>First off, yes there is battery technology to bridge the gap.

Not at the scale requited to bridge the gap. "home-batteries for purchase for consumers" do their job because the demand and use is still very small...

>(...) so saying they're intermittent and fossil-fuel is not is false (...) Yes, we will be using natural gas for winter and certain Northerly regions for decades to come

Well, they are intermittent, and fossil fuel is not.

>Renewables absolutely do not need to be paired with natural gas to make it "remotely viable".

You just wrote: "we will be using natural gas for winter and certain Northerly regions for decades to come"...

Countries don't spend trillions on fossil fuels because "solar/wind is cheaper" and storage is "a solved problem", or because of some big conspiracy - they do it because it's not...
