>Did you just condemn Harris for being a prosecutor without any regard for how she did the job?

No, Tulsi Gabbard did during the first Democratic primary debate.

>Is get because you believe that the current criminal justice system is fundamentally wrong and would be better completely abolished?

No, I don't think it's fundamentally flawed. I feel prosecutors need a better check and balance against shady tactics like over charging to scare (innocent?) people into a plea. I also think the public defender's office should get the same budget as the prosecutor, because .. justice.

Just because you choose not to work on a project due to personal reasons doesn’t free you of the unethical or immoral things the company you chose to work for does. And if you actually believe it does then it only supports the argument that these firms have found a way to act immorally in the pursuit of fees while making sure their staff don’t become too demoralized. They know there will always be someone to take on the work because the workforce is highly fungible so they don’t care either way, and if anything makes them look compassionate to their employees which benefits them.

This afternoon I was driving up Alma in Palo Alto, near the Embarcadero underpass. There was a Waymo test van behind me, and another two cars in front of me. My thought was: "look at me, actually driving my car, like a sucker".
Does anyone know of a way to prevent scroll-jacking everywhere? I can't stand it when I run across it and it seems to be infesting more and more sites.
I want to agree with you here, but I fear that this reality is closer than we expect, perhaps less than a generation away.... it starts with citizens untied, and it means we’re already fucked, just not completely, not yet.
“Optimizing” so you’re labeling is lying about how much you food your selling is not optimization, it’s fraud.

Making products as low quality as possible is simply destroying your brand. It’s not actually optimizing for efficiency or anything but how effectively you can trade brand loyalty for some quick cash.

Sure, it’s easier to try and cheat your customers than actually improve efficiency and our compete your competitors. But, that’s a long term losing strategy.
Headless Chrome in Google Cloud Functions: Go Runtime
I have seen articles about puppeteer with node 8 and headless chrome. Earlier examples talk about how chrome is now bundled in the base images when using the node 8 runtime. I use [chromedp](https://github.com/chromedp/chromedp) and I tried using it in a go runtime with cloud functions but it was unable to find chrome. Really trying to not have a micro-service running a un-sandboxed chrome in the cluster.
For the mac, it's the best there is, but if you're on linux gnome-terminal is better.
> you don't expect your collection to retain long-gone files unless it's an ever-growing pile of tapes/discs.

Rule number whatever of backups: Don't discard old backups. Bitrot occurs, and people make mistakes, and newer backups can have flaws that older ones don't, which will go undiscovered until it's too late.

We're not talking about piles of tapes, we're talking about virtually unlimited disk space. State-of-the-art backup software chunks and deduplicates data and stores snapshots of directory trees. For most cases, there's no reason not to keep a subset of old snapshots, and many reasons to keep them.
>now we're seeing the harmful health effects of whatever cheap materials they're using to manufacture the coils.

This is the main part that I'm concerned about personally. There is a local place i go to back when i lived in the states where they would craft the juice for me on the spot, so I had peace of mind the juice was ok. But all of the coils were manufactured in china, and if manufacturers there were fine with tainted baby formula that killed infants, then nothing else has the guarantee of being safe.
Yeah, I'm actually kind of shocked that even the hacker news community is so susceptible to this kind of moral panic.

Both of your paragraphs are based on a flawed assumption of not wanting any kids or any more kids. As opposed to wanting kids but not wanting to make a choice before a certain age. Some people dont want any or any more and we aren’t referring to them.

I would say the population that would like the possibility of children at a later age is big enough to make a difference.

Ah, wonderful; what could be a balanced critique of the actions of a given individual is written in the style of maniacal ravings the like of which would be scribbled with a Sharpie on to pieces of cardboard and plastered across someone's front fence.

I have no stakes in the whole story with Stallman but the temperament of the writer doesn't convey the sort of objectivity from whence I should like to form an opinion. The statements at the bottom do nothing to help the cause; they seem like the tossing of toys out of the proverbial playpen, projecting their situation on to Courtès and/or RMS because they might some day be confronted with their own misdeeds — or so it reads to my eyes, at least.
I "grok" very well what the halting problem is, thank you. It's colloquially used in the sense of being unable to tell whether a program terminates. For reference I direct you to early static analysis tool promo materials (ex. Coverity) which usually explicitly address the "doesn't this run into the halting problem?" question given its common occurrence.

Rot13 is not a hashing algorithm. A hashing algorithm is a one-way function where many entities in the input domain map to the same entity in the output codomain. This means if you have the hash you can't determine the input with out making a guess.

Rot13 is a function with a one to one mapping between the domain and codomain. If you have the output you can apply a function to get the input.
The X-37 is the best example of one widely known to exist, without yet knowing all the details of its purpose and missions. It's pretty unlikely to be the only such program.

Byron Boot's lab at Georgia Tech does a lot of interesting work with larger-scale R/C vehicles. That being said, by adding more degrees of freedom you're making the configuration space of the robot higher. In many cases, higher dimension configuration spaces are more difficult for traditional sampling-based approaches. Learning approaches may be able to bias their solutions to avoid large sections of this configuration space.
You can still suffer if the fork forces you to realize a gain as short term capital gain (higher tax rate than long term capital gain).

Antarctica is a beautiful and exotic place. If Earth warming trends continue, perhaps Antarctica will become more hospitable and open up to residential and commercial development.

It would be a terrible thing globally, the situation especially near the equator would be far worse (flooding, storms, heat waves). But at the same time - it's interesting to think the people of the future might have green grass lawns that look out towards unnamed mountains never seen before. A whole new ecosystem and a torrent of discoveries might be found within this landscape.
Telemetry makes sense but I mind individual apps making any network connections and sending/receiving whatever is not essential to solving the actual task I use them for, let alone send data about me in a black-box manner. There should be a centralized system service apps would pass telemetry to for it to send it further and all the data should be in human-readable format.

Staying in any single position for a long time is bad for you. Get an adjustable height desk and give yourself more options.
That's why I mentioned congestion pricing. Or inverting the carpool/non-carpool lane ratios i.e. every lane is carpool-only except those designated as single-occupant-allowed, which makes driving by yourself expensive in terms of time.

Also, if you don't have to accommodate a human driver and controls, many safety features, bulky gasoline tank, and trunk space, automobile design could change radically. Self-driving taxicabs that look like small pods, or covered golf carts, could be used for individual travel, increasing space efficiency.

China Is Forcing Tech Companies to Choose Between Profits and Free Speech
Or it might go the other way and driverless cars will be push-overs on the road and brake for everyone all the time. There’s a lot of decisions to be made about how they should react to that kind of stuff.

Tesla’s last automation talk was interesting about that - they’re basically training the cars to act like a human driver would, looking for tiny signals that might warn of unexpected behaviour.

In 1959 there were public phone booths or stands in the cities, or the cab companies installed dedicated ones by themselves at public places. I have seen them maybe up to around 2000. In less dense places it probably wouldn't have
made sense, because the cost of the ride were too expensive, prohibitive for most, except in emergencies. For which other services did and do exist, at least in developed countries.
Where there is no cell phone reception now, a cab/taxi/uber
is probably still too expensive nowadays. So i'm not getting why you are using this as example, while ignoring the fact that you are carrying a f..(-word).. Orwellian TELEVISOR with you, while the usefulness leaves much to be desired because of the formfactor even with good eyesight/vision.

I appreciate this project but wanted to note that I really enjoy Brownian Noise. [0]

> Its spectral density is inversely proportional to f 2, meaning it has more energy at lower frequencies, even more so than pink noise. It decreases in power by 6 dB per octave (20 dB per decade) and, when heard, has a "damped" or "soft" quality compared to white and pink noise. The sound is a low roar resembling a waterfall or heavy rainfall.

The dull roar of Brownian Noise is great for concentrating and blocking out other sounds.

Personal preference? I have always liked FFM, and while I like the keyboard for many things I find it much more awkward than the mouse for selecting among many (10+) terminals tiling the screen.

It's a pain, and it won't be useful advice in many cases, but if you're a newsroom doing sensitive investigations on powerful individuals? I could make a case for it. Although, you'd want to ditch G Suite.

(You can certainly think up clever attacks that work without internet, but disconnecting really does remove most vectors.)
> Terminals vulnerabilities are a bit more serious: It means don't anything involving PII on any remote computer either, from "that computer".

I'm not sure I understand the distinction. If someone's taken control of your computer then it doesn't matter if the terminal emulator you run on it is perfect or not.

The attacker would only need to periodically screenshot your display, or dump RAM from specific processes, or something like that.

He has not presented any facts that are under contention, only normative estimations that rely on facts that are deliberately unspecified.

The politically and economically safe option in the workplace is always to discard people who fall under scrutiny that exposes an employer to liability. This raises the reasonable standard of complaint for these types of issues beyond "his password, which I cracked despite design and goal to remain private to one human soul ever, was weirdly suggestive, and none of the people ostensibly involved have voiced any concerns but I must Report This to The Authorities and Start the Hammer Falling."

Suspicion and doubt are very powerful weapons, and sometimes they're used against good people in the name of heroism, saying nothing of bad motives. They also have the feature of being incredibly hard to dispel entirely once raised, regardless of the quality or scale of the evidence. If someone looked at my F-word password with the wrong prior or coaching, I'd have to break out volumes of psychotic voicemails, videos, pictures, testimony by family and close former friends, etc, to prove I shouldn't be Cancelled.

Can you think of a crackable-length passphrase that would make a normal, level-headed person suspicious enough to make efforts that almost guarantee someone is going to get fired in the worst way possible?

OK, sure. You have to touch the wheel or it turns off.

What I mean is, you are not providing input to the wheel, or pedals, or turn signal or driving the car in any way. You're just letting it know you have not fallen asleep.

> [Horgan] puts all his energy into expanding his popular reach.

I would not say 'all', but this bet fits the claim. If he had lost, his position as a prescient naysayer would be gone anyway, while a win could be used to boost it, even though, as it happens, no decisive case against string theory (or for an alternative) has emerged in the interim. In a sense, this bet is a columnist's hedge against there being no news.

For any counterparty, however, a win would have been completely overshadowed by the science itself. A person might be happy to accept the bet as a form of harmless entertainment, but for Horgan, it was more than that.

I would argue that the examples you gave are just image recognition, etc. What is your brain doing if not image recognition and obstacle avoidance?

We're not there with today's technology but eventually our machines will perform better at those uniquely human tasks you mentioned. After all, we humans and our cognition is just the output of these giant meat computers inside our skulls pulling in sensory data and running pattern recognition algorithms.

The $65,000 question is whether or not today's technology is sufficient (however barbaric) to be acceptable for the job.
