Same here. It's on 3 machines at home and was put on when I nearly lost all my photos of my kids. It's wonderful. Even did a 'drive by' when I was on holiday in California. I did Apple, Google, Facebook and.... Backblaze. Wonderful product and company.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that.

I did not read the book in question if that is what you're saying.

Did you? Can you tell me why the title matters as far as "Can we relax with the self-made, altruistic view of billionaires?" goes?
ReMarkable Raises 15M USD Series A from Spark Capital
I sure hope their lawsuit is successful this seems like an overreach of the power of the legislature. If the people vote to make a constitutional ammendment then it should be law!

> The Tampa pastor is now a plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging the payments law, which was crafted by Florida’s Republican-controlled legislature and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, also a Republican. The law came just months after Floridians approved a ballot initiative restoring voting rights to more than 1 million felons who have completed their sentences;

Average commute distance is 20 miles or so. At $0.25 per mile in depreciation, maintenance, gas, etc... you are spending about $10 per trip. With 260 work days in the year that costs the average American about $3,000 extra at a minimum. If you make less than $30,000 a year that is 10% of your budget gone before even rent is calculated.

In states with higher road taxes and fuel prices, and if you drive a less economical vehicle, that figure can get as high as $10,000 pretty quickly. I'm always surprised at poverty level families driving vehicles that cost them 25-40% of their yearly income. Often they have to use Uber and Lyft to help cover the car's cost and end up depreciating it even faster.

Imagine, being a slave to a freaking car.
Maybe the manufacturers would figure out more efficient solutions given incentives that encouraged them to do so. For example, they might decide it’d be more efficient to use OpenWrt than to do separate security maintenance for N incompatible closed platforms.

It's using a technicality (fees which are not tracked are "part of the parole") that is BS on its face, but taking it to court would take so long and be so not worth it, that the desired effect would occur anyways- which is continuing to deny felons who finish their sentences voting rights.
What aboutism is wrong, so it's fine we're losing 4bn because of this issue, not fixing our society, and pretending it's ok just because china's not fixing theirs either.
Yes, and that impression is correct because "blind" means someone who can't see. At all. The people you mention are usually referred to as "visually impaired" or "legally blind".
I'd expect a hospital has to have a pro-ish router due to the size of the network. However, I can easily see someone setting up some of these as a "temporary" fix just to get things working for some subnet. I totally expect some small clinics, independent doctors' offices, or EMS stations use devices like these.
> Interesting how an incidence in gaming garner more eye balls on the topic of Hong Kong politics than whole month combined.

That's not correct, if you search over the past month and sort by Most Popular. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastMonth&page=0&prefix=tr... This story is #1, but #2 and #3 combined outstrip it by themselves.

And they're both also about American companies censoring themselves and their users on behalf of China. For better or worse, it's that in particular that gets HN's attention.
The fact that Florida seems to be having so much trouble figuring out how many fees are still unpaid suggests that they should not be considered a part of the sentence.
Do image processing in the browser you would utilize the browser's and the user's resources not having to do backend processing, that's what photoshop does and what most of the image processors do, it's what you should be focusing on.
Yes. But that's already the case and is usually a useful screening criteria anyway. i.e. I don't actually care if you smoke pot or not. But I care whether or not you are smart enough to lie about it during an interview or job screening process, and if you can quit long enough to pass a drug test. Because that's relevant.

If you are intelligent enough to game the system into looking like you meet all of my criteria, you can probably also "game the system" into actually meeting my criteria on the job too.
The continental armies were entirely composed of volunteers who believed in the cause, so yes that is the argument I am making.

If you work in a company that has a presence in China, and you believe in the concept of inalienable human rights then these are issues you raise in a constructive manner in your workplace.

If you are unwilling to take that risk due to financial repercussions then so be it, but you are a coward.
Easy morally, hard economically.
I also ran into the same exact problem today. I installed Backblaze this morning and tried to adopt a previous backup and got the same error. I just restarted as a new backup and moved on.

But now reading what renaudg mentioned I took a look at the log files and I see the same error:

20191008161659 - ERROR could not read attribute named supports_inherit

The XML is also shown in the log and the attribute is called "support_inherit".

+1 vote for a few free months for renaudg. :)
I'll think twice before buying D-link again. They've just tarnished their brand irrevocably for me, even though my router is not affected - I had to turn it over and compare version numbers to be certain, and I don't want to have to track exploits and check version numbers to have peace of mind.

What manufacturer can I buy next time with a good security record?

> "all terms of their sentence including parole or probation"

I'm not a lawyer, but the word "including" typically isn't meant to preclude other items in a class; e.g. "all costs are specified in the bill including taxes" wouldn't typically be taken to mean that only taxes are specified. If court ordered fines and fees are considered a part of the "terms of their sentence" I don't see a contradiction.
Think about why and how governments have that kind of leverage over the auto industry.

There are arbitrary and discretionary licenses that have been created in response so prior issues.

Licensing/certification regimes allow for almost any expansion of the role of government to those licensed, including capital requirements to resolve an issue.

So first you would need a license, determine the scope of the license, who needs it, and the consequences of operating without one.

Good luck
I don't think they will. The first argument in the article is that people buy these lots to hold and resell later at a higher price when the neighborhood improves. Parking income just pays a little while they wait.
I agree with your callout of the NBA's blatant hypocrisy on adjudicating political issues, but Donald Sterling's comments were definitely not a good faith contribution regarding an issue of public contention.
This picture you're painting makes it sound like the protests are an overblown response to a minor grievance, like WW1 was an overblown response to the assassination of a minor archduke, without taking into account decades of cultural clashes and building tensions.
Is someone claiming that it is?
In my professional experience the distributed nature of git isn't used. Individual engineers don't distribute patches or pull branches amongst themselves, there's always still a central repository that is "the repo". Compliance audits of code and build artifacts in the business world pretty much dictates this model.

I think the fact that you can use git locally to work within your perforce workspaces indicates some commonality among the two models, but git has way more features, edge cases, and jargon.
>Finally, the product as it was at time of purchase was a >product fit to be sold, without major defects
If somebody later discovers a bug in the firmware that bug was present from the beginning, so this is false.
I found this article while doing cursory research on the economics of parking lots and booting. My assumption is that when booting companies could charge booted cars to remove the boot on the spot (i.e., on-site credit card reader), then booting became a more serious side-business for businesses that have parking lots (add in CV-monitored parking lot technology - automated delinquent detection).

I have more research to do; if you any insights/knowledge, my curiosity compels me to ask that you share. ;^)
Starting with the premise that our mind doesn't actually perceive reality directly, but rather creates an internal representation based on external sensory inputs, I would say that the definition of magic is "the intentional manipulation of another person's internal representation of reality." Which should cover a lot of what most people consider to be magic tricks.
Laws requiring that consumer electronics not be effectively disposable is also a net good for the environment as well. I'd like my router to have active cooling (so it doesn't self destruct from heat) and run an open source firmware that will survive longer than a single manufacturer may be willing to maintain it. (They all can jointly contribute.)

Phones should have some level of modularity and repairability, so they can last a multiple of their present service life. (Think smaller scale standards like in desktop PCs.)

It’s time to start preparing for another downturn
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978_California_Proposition_13

I feel like the intuition behind prop 13 is similar to rent control but for land owners. Basically it freezes the price owners have to pay in taxes, so if the price of land goes up dramatically, people who have owned the land for longer pay far less in taxes.

For example, person A bought a house in SF 25 years ago for 300k. Person B buys an identical house today for 1.5M, therefore paying 5x as much in taxes every year even though both houses are worth the same value. This stifles development because any time land changes hands, the taxes dramatically increase. Even though you could make more money turning a parking lot into housing, people often don't because the taxes would increase to a point where it wouldn't be worth it.

The simplified end result for prop 13 (and rent control) is that young people are basically subsidizing old people through their taxes (and rents), keeping prices artificially high. It is incredibly hard to repeal these laws because most of the voters are unfairly benefiting from them or don't comprehend that rent control hurts them.
Personally, I despise the very notion of predictive text.

The only thing that I want conjuring up words that are attributed to me is me.
HN usually finds a theme to complain about with any cool project. Looks like this time they picked licensing. Just wanted to say thank you for making this project. I think tech like Zapier/IFTTT are really cool, but I would never trust a closed platform of this sort.

But something like n8n I would consider using, because you've provided an escape hatch to lock-in by making the source available. I think it's totally reasonable to prevent other companies from profiting from your work. I also think it falls under the umbrella of "open source". If someone wants a truly FLOSS version of this, they're welcome to make it themselves. But they won't, they'll just complain and keep using n8n, because the licensing is good enough for 99.9% of use cases.

EDIT: I just want to point out that there's been some discussion of licensing here which I've personally found interesting and instructive. I've seen several people suggest that there is a definition of the term "open source" that is essentially universally agreed upon (that being the Open Source Initiative definition [0]), and that that is the only valid definition. I've worked in what I consider to be open source for many years, and wasn't aware that such consensus had been reached. My personal views have not changed as of yet, but my paradigm has definitely shifted. I intend to pay closer attention to how others use this term, and carefully attempt to be clear about my usage in the future. Having a single agree-upon definition of things is always valuable, and if that's where we're at I'm all for it. I'm just not convinced yet that it's actually 100% agreed upon.

That said, I think the author of n8n was pretty dang clear.

Would you also say that Uber doesn't violate taxi laws or AirBNB doesn't violate zoning laws, and it's just the Uber drivers and AirBNB hosts who are using the products to violate the law? What's your responsibility when you hand someone a loaded gun and it goes off?

>So when a plaintiff using a hiring platform encounters a problematic design feature — like platforms that check for gaps in employment — she should be able to bring a lawsuit on the basis of discrimination per se, and the employer would then be required to provide statistical proof from internal and external audits to show that its hiring platform is not unlawfully discriminating against certain groups.

How would this work? Without ground truth labels of "should have been hired" and "shouldn't have been hired" how can you demonstrate that your algorithm isn't biased? I mean counterfactual labels like "we hired this person the algorithm said not to hire, and they turned out good/bad."

Base rates will be different, which means any algo will be biased in some way (see these impossibility theorems [0]), so the question is what demonstration of non bias will be sufficient without counterfactual data.

Why bother replying if you're not going to be charitable in my assumptions?

I had never heard of the term but I would certainly agree that it's hate speech. It seems to me that it was a twitter hashtag that some people thought was funny.

I don't agree with it but I also think that an equivalent hashtag #killallwomen would have an equally hard time being brought before a judge.

Subscriptions are ongoing cash-flow. There's no reward to doing a good job, and there's only a perverse reward to not doing a good job--it keeps people subscribed.

Frankly I think the better option might actually be the reverse: a mandatory payout to every customer for every nontrivial security defect. Not sure how you'd adjudicate it, so it's pie-in-the-sky, but take it out of the realm of the class-action lawsuit and see how serious these manufacturers become about correctness.

Businesses fear only the big stick; it should be swung on the consumer's behalf.
I had this same experience in regards to support interaction. Starting from scratch is a less than ideal process IMO, so much so I have not done it in the hope that a future update fixes this, and I don't have to jump through all the hoops.
Thank you for sharing this. I haven’t had a chance to use this yet but I wanted to say that I love your name!
There is too much performative expression of concern and not enough discussion of actual factors. The problems are basically the same as for human bias, and the automation of the process gives us an opportunity to examine them transparently.

Having lacrosse or sailing as a hobby on a CV is probably correlated with job performance, because those things are independently correlated with wealth and greater educational opportunities earlier in life. It's pretty simple to exclude them from a logistic regression. But what about education? A degree from an Ivy league university is correlated with job performance for both good and unfair reasons, and the correlation is very noisy. Which variables should be allowed? Which ones does the human system use, and how are they weighted? What causal models are appropriate? I don't know the answers, but the conversation often doesn't even happen at this level. And this is just at the level of transarent models, like graphical probablistic models or structural equation modeling. I generally think there's too much AI alarmism, but in this case I think banning non-linear machine learning methods using large high-dimensional training sets might be appropriate.
If you are looking to replace the 32-bit-only Aperture with something else for photo editing on Catalina and don’t like Adobe’s subscription model, you may want to consider Capture One. It is actively supported, has the “buy and own” option, and is very capable though its interface may take some getting used to and/or customizing.

I tried the demo earlier this year and liked it a lot, and they even happened to have a promotional discount at the time, but for whatever reason the purchase button was broken for me. I’m sure it was either just my machine, or Phase One has fixed the bug long ago.
Sometimes in trade and negotiations the most powerful tool is being able to walk away. Relative to the PRC, it is past time that we start walking away. There are certainly other partners available on the metaphorical dance card who are easier to deal with.
Ah, yes. We should continue the status quo, where China continues to perpetuate human rights abuses, as well as utilizing their economic power to influence and control international companies.

We're enabling and funding this. We should stop.
In some cases, sure, where there is a clearly identifiable problem. But widespread pollution is particularly insidious because it can cause large amounts of people to develop serious health issues that have no clear cause and no reliable treatment.
It's true that this claim could be applied to almost any group of people, but I think the point here is the people in the US (or the west generally) don't have the history knowledge hence the empathy about how important and sensitive territorial integrity of China is to both Chinese people and Chinese government.
They have been known to drop acid from time to time.
Ubiquiti isn't really consumer, though. They want to target enterprises and businesses.

Sure, their hardware ends up in residential deployments more often than perhaps any other kind of enterprise computer stuff, but if you're not willing to call them "enterprise", I'm going to insist they be practically alone in their own category of "pro-sumer but actually professional-consumer, and not the yuppie garbage that you usually call pro-sumer that's just the normal consumer crap but priced at 4x with a slick black plastic case."

I agree with GP in that the spectrum you are suggesting ("you get what you pay for" actually looks more like this:

<cheap garbage> ----------- <expensive garbage> ----[huge $$$ gap]----- <enterprise stuff for price-insensitive corporations who value brand and risk-aversion more than actual specs>

Which I would reify into the realm of, for example, computer hardware, as follows:

<a $100 best buy laptop with Windows> --------- <a $4000 alienware desktop with windows> --------------- <a $40000 Dell server with out-of-band management and ECC ram and HSM's and dual power supplies and actual RAID controllers and so on>

The best buy laptop and the alienware desktop are going to have the same issues with regards to control and privacy, and you need to make a huge jump to get to anything remotely respecting you.

Self driving cars are a form of individual travel. An airport train is prescheduled and prerouted. The former beats the latter under specific circumstances only (or we would not have these two categories of transportation).

I would argue that traveling from and to a large airport is about as disadvantageous as it gets for individual travel: Your schedule is determined by someone else. Your route is already fixed. The only benefit of individual that I can think of in that case is the possibility to travel to/from somewhat remote locations directly from/to the airport.
I thought that was going to be much worse before clicking, akin to the VW XL1 for aerodynamics. To me, it looks pretty similar in "weirdness" to other small cars like a Fiat 500 or Mini.
I think you're conflating the exercise of rights with the existence of those rights.

"Being born "into" these rights" is close to accurate, but misses the point. You (and everyone else) are born with a basic set of natural rights which exist regardless of how much or how little you can/do exercise them. People have been struggling for hundreds of years to avoid having those rights infringed upon, not to "create" them.

Privileges on the other hand, derive their authority from a secondary source. Driving, public education, etc are good examples of "Privileges" where society builds/pays for something, and members of that society are granted the privilege of its use. Compared with your right to free speech, which doesn't disappear because someone/something infringes upon it.
A bigger issue I've seen is that "gut feeling" comes from a misplaced sense of confidence. Like say, sample size. I can't tell you how many times I've heard engineers say "the data isn't significant because the sample size is too small." If you have the data, calculate the confidence interval!

Most of the time you don't need hundreds to thousands of data points to be reasonably confident, just a few dozen. I remember the example distinctly from my sophomore engineering stats course, I don't know why everyone else has forgotten it.
The hashes are 16 character hexadecimals represented as strings. Had a quick look at the faiss package and it looks promising. Would consider it for the next versions.
>"Today's manufacturers cannot afford to update software for hardware devices they have already moved on from."

What is this statement based on? None of your links show any kind of unit economics that support the assertion that providing critical security patches for a defined support window is infeasible for manufactures and their business models.
