this is so alien to me. are you and GP talking about putting in long days during crunch time, or actual on-call rotations where you're expected to be available in the middle of the night? i agree the former is universally expected, but the latter? not at all, not without discussing it beforehand. that would be obscene. i am so boggled to hear people accepting and defending the practice.

Warp isn't trying to "hide your IP from the sites you are visiting". It's there to help prevent intermediaries from observing your traffic. A huge percentage of the web is still unencrypted HTTP.

And Warp+ aims to be about that plus performance.

If you want to be totally anonymous on the Internet then I recommend you use Tor. If you just use a VPN then you may hide your IP address from sites you visit but there are tons of other fingerprinting techniques that can be used.

This is too desperate. It seems AI will help in criminalizing and unbiased profiling of people of color, as a person of color it feels really hard to imagine a future where justice is done with due diligence.

Joy at Media Lab has been looking at this issue for a while and advocating for balance. https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612775/algorithms-crimina...

Also I find it weird that Nvidia was able to simulate realisticly looking people last year, and Google is struggling to find humans, can't they use that as ground-truth?
Exactly. One thing, at least in the US (in general) is that many people have similar feelings about driving as the GP, this includes the police. What it translates to is bad drivers are not held accountable for their actions.

Police in many cases use driving enforcement as a means of raising money, rather than reducing risk. Much of the infrastructure is designed to make driving easier and faster. We as a society need to make it unacceptable to drive at all dangerously, and introduce better alternatives (buses, rail, protected bike lanes, etc), and yes, driving needs to become less convenient in order to make other non-drivers safer on and around the roads.
I don't see where in that study it shows what you claim. They specifically say:

> This study is not without limitations. The primary limitation is our lack of exposure data. To estimate how the risk of being involved in a collision changes when motorcyclists chose to lane- split, we would require information on both the lane-splitting and non-lane-splitting riding that is done by some identifiable sample of motorcyclists. The collection of these data is fraught with problems, and the current study did not attempt to collect such data. The current data set cannot be used to compare the collision risks for lane-splitting or non-lane-splitting riders.
If the right to bear arms is required for protection against a potentially corrupt or abusive federal government, then so is the right to use end-to-end encryption.

Rethinking Robert's Rules of Order
Apply it backwards - would a welfare system of having people complete large N Tower of Hanoi locks that pay people money be a good idea?

On one hand technically it is better than nothing immediately for those in need and is fraud resistant in that it consumes time and any better paying job without major negative externalities would be a better use of their time.

The negative is that it does nothing productive and those who are dependent on it aren't able to use their time productively on anything else.

While the problem of lack of income and lack of good uses for their labor certainly should be addressed just because it provides income doesn't make it a good thing overall.

It is one of those things which puts the "dismal" in the "dismal science" term for economics - regardless of any misgivings over calling it a science. It is essentially a subset of human organizational and incentive problems which the economy "is designed" (technically more emergant even if it is literally a planned economy) to solve.
> There's a specific reason why they do this and ask you to make a decision in an instant. It's called accommodation.

You are right. It can be an issue in the other direction though.

People are checked after often sizeable waits looking at the same thing (their phone, the wall, outside) for a long time.

When you then start the switching lens tests, there will be a set of lens optimal for your current situation, and a different set of lens that would fit better for a long day of doing whatever you are usually doing with the glasses on.

Knowing how good a pair matches after accommodation is equally valuable, IMO.
Is sticking a shotgun in your mouth because one doctor visit consumed all your life's savings a "thinking problem"? Because I'm seeing a lot of that I don't think it's just a problem some pill will fix.
The outrage over this served the political/economic purposes of those who pull our strings and now no longer serves a purpose. Nothing complicated about it. It's all just a game.
>Productivity gains are slowing down at the developed world (and the developing one too). It's a widely discussed phenomenon on economics cycles, and mostly people seem to have no idea why that is happening.

I moved to western Europe and realized why. Millennials there don't want to take part in the competitive rat race to be productive as their boomer parents have bought plenty of properties when real estate was cheap and salaries were high enough that even a factory worker in the 70's could afford a large apartment. They will later inherit said properties so they feel no pressure to get into high stress jobs since they are basically taken care of for life. So why bother?

The only people I know who are constantly grinding and hustling here are immigrants who don't own any real estate so they're constantly working to afford to get on the property ladder.

The security and safety of almost everything relies on strong, uncompromised encryption.

There’s no way to reasonably draw, much less enforce, a line dividing licit and illicit uses.

If you compromise some subset of messages, illicit uses will just move to a non-compromised technology.

So instead of drawing a line, which is impossible (and also comes down to human judgements about things like whether gay people should be killed) the only choice left, if you insist on being able to decrypt messages, is to legislate the ability to decrypt all of them.

First of all, good luck enforcing that; second, in so doing you will sweep in a lot of legitimate uses of encryption and make people and businesses less safe by endangering their finances, their privacy, and even their physical safety.

Because once you give governments the ability to read messages even assuming key escrow entities can protect the integrity of the system (unlikely) this ability will be abused by bad governments who have records of inflicting human rights abuse on citizens for “crimes” as minor as being gay, being trans, or saying the wrong words about god.

And in addition to being accessed by the bad people in government and the bad people drawn like flies to honey to work in the key escrow organization, the escrow keys will get out and be abused by more bad people which will be an entire other level of problems.
It is not just that we flood regions, but that we cause large scale 2nd order events due to population migrations. Ataturk Dam in Turkey is at least partly responsible for the mess in Syria due to severe multi year droughts.

Show HN: Codelets – Blockchain-secured code snippets manager with easy sharing
Surprised to see so much hate for Calibre's UI here. I'm not sure I understand. I can load damn near anything that pretends to be an ebook into it, and then I can double-click on the row for that item, and it pops open a reader window. That's all I need it to do.

At least on Windows, I've been pretty underwhelmed with other ebook viewer apps I have tried. The various Kindle apps tend to blow for anything you don't obtain through Amazon, and often don't work great for syncing even Kindle ebooks. I still have a bunch of Microsoft Reader .lit files kicking around, and Calibre is one of the only things that will open them. The Calibre PDF reader is pretty terrible, but setting is up to pop open to Adobe or whatever instead doesn't take much ceremony.
> Can you be more specific and/or support the argument that the tools for C++ are behind what's available for Java?

The most obvious example to me is in Eclipse, you can right-click on a field in a Java class and choose to Rename it. It will then correctly update that field's name across the entire codebase. AFAIK this is impossible in C & C++ because they are such complicated languages to parse. Macros alone make this feature effectively impossible.
I'm not sure about that. I think you get what you measure, and if you start measuring effeciency, you're going to start seeing a major incentive to make it more effecient.
From the article:

> why are there no animals with three legs? That might go back a long, long way, Thomson said.

> "Almost all animals are bilateral," he said. The code for having two sides to everything seems to have got embedded in our DNA very early in the evolution of life—perhaps before appendages like legs, fins or flippers even evolved. Once that trait for bilateral symmetry was baked in, it was hard to change.

(emphases mine)

Thomson suggests bilateral symmetry as the reason for not having three legs. It's strongly implied that they're mutually exclusive. Not sure how else you could read this excerpt.

My guess is you are incorrect and this has more to do with the Ardan Labs partnership[1][2]. This release also came shortly after Bill (founder of Ardan Labs) went to visit Matt and discuss Caddy[3], which helps support that claim.

Prior to the partnership I believe the real issue was that Matt & co didn't have a sustainable way to maintain the project and they were trying to figure that out. I don't know the details of the partnership with Ardan Labs, but my guess is it is structured in a way that allows Caddy to focus solely on building out a great product without worrying about monetizing it so they dropped all the proprietary licensing.

As a proponent of nuclear I still feel compelled to point out that a nuclear catastrophe in Turkey could render much of Europe and the Middle East uninhabitable for hundreds of years. Chernobyl very nearly was that serious.
Do they really believe that they have the right to tell someone in America to remove something from their own computer?

What about radio waves?

Do they claim that any communication that leaves one country and goes into theirs is now under their control?

This is a really, really bad precedent to be setting.
Even the capability of mass surveillance means that the public can be abused by the powers that be without much worry of backlash. It takes fear of the public out of the policy making equation, along with having a chilling effect. I don't think a representative democracy is really representative or a democracy anymore with a power imbalance that steep. Nevermind Citizens United.
I actually read up on the local legalese around this (for Switzerland), and it turns out that doctors can refuse to share information with the patient if they consider it unhelpful/dangerous to do so, but have to share it with other medical staff should they request it.

Especially in the context of psychotherapy or when using placebos, this makes a lot of sense.
I haven't used Twitter or Facebook in years, but I had been relying on Google+ to follow quite a few Linux / FOSS developers. When G+ died I joined a Mastodon instance (linuxrocks.online) and have been really enjoying it. I found quite a few interesting developers, including people like Drew Devault. YMMV, but I think everyone should give it a try just to see how impressive the platform is.

Now, to see a few more services jump on the fediverse wagon and work together so we can have some choice... ;)
The math is just wrong though.

To train a brain to be competent in a classification task it takes 20W rms for years on end for the individual + all of the wattage from the parents, grandparents, teachers etc... that are training the individual for those years. Very hard to determine the power allocation used for a specific human being trained on a narrow task for eg. object classification, but that doesn't mean it's not the comparable measure.

Comparing training of a single model to the "instant power" draw of the brain is not just over simplistic, the scale and time periods are wrong.

HI! I'm the maker of Codelets. It's similar to Github Gists, except the data is decentralized, meaning each user's data is stored separately, in a place only accessible to the user. It uses Blockstack for authentication

Here is a sample shared codelet:
http://bit.ly/30M5z8u

Codelets is free! The decentralized storage is provided as a part of the Blockstack platform, and developers are paid via the App Mining program, of which ProductHunt support is the criteria. So please support!

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/codelets

Codelets is at a good starting point - a simple, but usable app to save and share commonly used code snippets. Do you have suggestions for improvements? Please let me know!
Just as E2EE can be used for crime, channels without E2EE can also be utilized for crime - mostly for blackmail, and especially if it gets compromised.

Even if you trust all actors involved in non-E2EE communication channel you can never assume that:

* This channel won't be compromised(hacking, wiretapping etc)

* That all actors involved(ISP, VPN host) will always stay trustworthy

Latter part is also related to laws - if you cannot prove that law cannot be abused by a bad actor then it shouldn't be a law.

Also banning encryption won't change the fact that it will be used. Criminals will still use it to hide their action, plus there is always steganography.

Also one of basic rules of law is "Innocent until proven guilty", banning E2EE basically reverses that.

I love the "nothing to fear, nothing to hide" argument, just reverse it and instead of applying to general populace - apply it to government as whole. Rules should work both ways - if citizens have nothing to fear if they have nothing to hide, the same should apply to all politicians and all government agencies.
A Commentary on “Breaking Row and Column Symmetries in Matrix Models”
You are confusing E2EE encryption with encryption in transit/rest in the commerce example. The majority of transactions today are encrypted in transit and (you would hope) encrypted at rest so that the bank and selected parties can access the data (including the customer). There is no bank that would encrypt financial data using E2EE so that only the customer and merchant could access it, which is the analogy here on E2EE with messaging.

Sure, now we are looking at tokenization which reduces the risk merchants store your details insecurely, but commerce will always require a bank to store your information and share it with legislators for anti money laundering purposes etc.
The new language standards do forfeit elements of backwards compatibility. And newer compilers use newer language standards by default.

It's true that there is a great deal of hand-wringing over backwards compatibility when new C++ features are discussed, though.
My go to about a government backdoor is that the NSA hacking tools are now leaked and the leading tool for Crypto Ransoms;

If CIA and NSA can't keep dangerous tools safe and secure from the bad actors; if the FBI (commonly thought of as less cover) or local police have a ready backdoor access to my phone, messages, credit cards, or anything else, then they're practically already in bad actor's hands.

The similar argument is that my state has lost my personally identifiable information in no less than 3 security incidents.
the thing that gave me the most chance out of anything in the absolute turning point of my life was free money. After which it was access to free schooling (which is a type of money), landing the first job a year later that I used to build my two decades career was on me though.

on edit: no wait, actually landing the first job required me getting advised to go to a particular place from a person that was a contact of someone from my last free schooling place. That guy later turned out to be a three counties class asshole but I guess I have to thank him for this.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but if it does kill you it makes you dead. Put some obstacles in front of people, they'll overcome them and benefit from the process. Put some more obstacles and now the path is impassable.
If code reuse isn't imperative, then at least there ought to be an official recommended preprocessor that could do macros. Something comparable to the C-preprocessor.

I want a null-handling-equals macro, for example (god I hate three-value-logic so much).
I have one of the variants of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a genetic condition that changes how collagen proteins are folded. The results of the condition vary wildly depending on how specifically the proteins fold, but in my case it's pretty minor. I'm "hyper flexible" and I'm more prone to fungal infections.

My skin is a buffet for fungal infections and I've been fighting a persistent Malassezia infection for years. It's caused me to have intense dandruff and lost a lot of my hair as the infection clogs my hair follicles.

The only thing that helped was taking oral anti-fungals, but once I stopped, the infection came back within a few weeks.

Reading that the specific fungus I'm fighting is also plausibly responsible for pancreatic cancer is a bit frightening.

I wonder if I can get routinely screened for pancreatic cancer without appearing like a crazy person to an uninformed doctor.
On the flip side, it seems there's still an endless pool of less-experienced people who are chomping at the bit to work at startups. There's a reason startups recruit primarily people in their 20s.
I would say that surgery is never considered a permanent generic cure- most people would say you aren't cured, you just don't have a remission. This is true for basically all types of cancer.

Now, the closest thing to a cure for these types of cancers is immunotherapy. Nearly everybody in the cancer field has shown amazement at therapies that "seem to melt the cancer in front of your eyes".
>Instead of spending all that time and effort invalidating the opinion of those who have successfully made it out of those circumstances, why don't you ask them how they did it and what they think can be done to help those who haven't?

Don't worry about that, for the types I talk about, we get to hear "how they did it" at every chance they get to brag about it.

People also hear "what they think can be done to help those who haven't", and more often than not, its condescending garbage, like "you just need to try harder", "motivation is key", "those people are lazy", and so on.

They are the worst judges of the factors of their success. For one, as the saying goes, "no winner believes in chance". It's all about their character and grit, nothing circumstantial -- so even if we take their words as gospel, there's nothing there applicable to others, except "change your character".

In fact compared to that, the born-rich are perhaps more considerate than the outliers that made it.

>The problem with keyboard warriors is that it isn't actually action. It's akin to the studies showing that people who talk about what they're going to do get the same emotional satisfaction from actually doing it.

Which is neither here, nor there. This is a discussion, we are all "keyboard warriors" here.

>What you've managed to do is dismiss the very people who have the most insight and made yourself feel better to boot. What's not to like, right?

Or, you know, I've managed to shed some light into things that are still a large problem in modern society, and that people tend to view wrongly.

Also, when you assume (e.g. that I'm poor myself and needed to say those things to "feel better") you make an ass out of, etc...
