If you're an academic doing research into new techniques for branch prediction or some other topic it can be very useful to have well tested designs as a starting point you can modify to try out your idea which are starting from a very basic place.

It isn't architecturally innovative, isn't meant to be, and isn't a good place to start if you're thinking about doing architectural innovation. A lot of people are talking up RISC-V like it'll solve every problem but there are many problems in both academia and the real world where it represents a solution.
There is a lot of education in those guesses. We know what previous sales are, we know what industry sales are. We know population growth rates. We know many other things. Everything we know puts bounds on what we can sell.
sure I like programming also, but I realized some years ago when I got my first really big consultant paycheck that a lot of the stuff I used to hate about working just flew out the window.
you can’t really downgrade today. so yeah, if your client doesn’t do e2e you will either be running blind or you’ll need to use a daemon like pantalaimon to bridge the gap.
Attacking another user like this will get you banned on HN.

If you know more than someone, the thing to do is to share some of what you know, respectfully and generously, so we all can learn. If you don't want to or don't have time, that's fine: not posting is always an option, and you're probably not the only user who knows more. Acting like an asshole is not ok. It poisons the commons.
The problem I've seen is that (especially in suburbs where pedestrians are rarer) drivers don't check for pedestrians. Almost every time I'm walking for any length of time I nearly get hit by a car that assumes that a green light means they're free to turn right without any restrictions. This isn't me intentionally creating an unsafe situation (often I'm already in the intersection), it's drivers who see so few pedestrians they're not trained to think of them.
I am surprised no one mentioned AdBlock yet. Often you contract an virus/adware/... through and ad, especially when the ad is confused with a feature of the website.
I use noscripts also, but that is not for non tech peoples.
Apart from that I don't know, maybe, do not give them admin rights on the computer?
It's the 20's, deal with it.
Some vague feeling that if it were useful, correct, refined, and thought-out enough it would be in a book or periodical.
Can you expand? You actually convinced other folks to stop using React and go back to writing DOM-manipulating VanillaJS?
Safety for mixed classes of traffic (car vs bike, yard worker vs freight train, sailboat vs tugboat, dump truck vs service truck, etc, etc.) has been studied since the industrial revolution brought about a world where it was common for a workplace to have big heavy things rolling around. Nobody wants to get hit and nobody wants to stop a money making operation because someone got hit. It's a shame that whenever cars/bikes/pedestrians are involved in the discussion it turns into your typical politicized yelling match.

Good on Oslo for using a data driven approach. Finding the political capital to do that sort of thing instead of just caving to whoever screams loudest seems rare these days.
Spot on regarding "reasons". There is a reason for anything people do bad around here. Literally anything. And your statement "thinking they are more important" applies to pretty much everything and everyone whom improved their situation a little bit: they think a higher standard of living means stepping on others. Really poor state of affairs, and sadly it creates loads of victims, be it on the road or in hospitals or otherwise.
Right of way is for pedestrians on any road in the US, however you can be arrested for public nuisance on a busy non pedestrian toad such as an exit expressway.
I can think of a couple of reasons why you are being down voted:

1. The CBC operates at arms length (similar to the BBC) and is not "one branch of the Canadian government".

2. The point of a FOIA request is that they are SUPPOSED to find nothing. The FOIA "threat" is what keeps the government in line, it's not a "waste of time". That the reporter found nothing and went on to write a fluff piece is the system working as designed.
That is very strange.

Do you have websockets disabled at the firewall level or something? Do you see any errors in the console?

I am strongly invested in helping you get this working, so consider me willing to help and highly appreciative.
Yes, when the scheme is simple and straightforward, there is no point to say "do not call your children". But within a little bit sophisticated schemes, scammers can find a reason to plot in this kind of demand. Such as your computer has been compromised by terrorist organization, do not call anyone especially your children.
A few = hundreds of thousands cars daily? That's not "a few" to me (out of 1.5 million citizens city).
>Additionally, I have yet to encounter any example of reasonable discourse that's being legally suppressed by hate speech laws, but, you know, feel free to make a list of the important ideas that you feel are being SILENCED.

Now that paraphilias have been removed from the DSM and are no longer considered a mental illness, the idea that they need an acceptance and support group (of course, acting on them in a way that harms someone is still unacceptable). This has been taken to be hate speech against sexual minorities that were removed from even earlier editions of the DSM.

There is also some evidence that having some level of social acceptance results in less anti-social behavior including hurting other people (I think Germany has begun to incorporate this in therapy programs).
A 12-Week Study of the Accuracy of the Apple Watch’s Calorie Tracking
Agreed it's not a new idea, but I'm not discounting adding a catchy name to it and a well-made website with a clear specification. That will get people using it in some open-source communities (Node / JavaScript specifically).

The problem with SemVer is that library owners are not strict with its intended usage (backwards incompatible changes in patch!) or don't fully understand it. Perhaps having a much more simple versioning strategy will help in some use cases.
You are right that section could be much clearer.

Long term transaction data and browsing history could be used to train a federated learning algorithm to generate search results.

Getting access to that data to understand what stories it can tell is difficult ask without offering a lot of value in return.

In the short term I believe providing insights into a persons finances is the way to provide that value.

E.g. if you have an extra $5k how do your circumstances change if you
- pay off student debt
- pay extra on your mortgage
- buy solar
- contribute to your 401k / retirement savings

or showing how changes in spending alters the amount of pretax money you need to earn to support your lifestyle.

or how does your spending compare to people like you?

i will say that i also install and configure ublock origin on all the browsers that i and my parents use. it's surprising how many times, just innocent web browsing gets you in trouble cause of ads and drive by malware.
yea, it works terrible without a monitor as well. The site does not work headless. what was I thinking? It's a desktop application. The site is where you download the app.
SilkRoad guy would of loved this :D
Given (2), it would be appropriate to remove this HN submission as well as a matter of respect.

It's an excellent talk, though.
Relevent in today's news: In the Wall Street Journal it noted: "Behind the scenes, according to people familiar with the matter, Mr. Ghosn’s advisers had been studying several scenarios to spare him a Japanese trial, where more than 99% of those indicted are convicted, according to official statistics."

That is ...incredibly high. Like China high. Facing those odds I think Mr. Ghosn made the right decision to flee.

Some people like it if their data is theirs and not on some server being used for personal advertisements.
Kinda but advertising was called propaganda in some places before the term was marred by WWII and was afterwards rebranded as advertising.
CAPTCHA is typically one of several defences, and you underestimate the cost they cause attackers. One of the main problems for an attacker is not really the dollar cost of buying a CAPTCHA solver, the real inconvenience is really the time it takes to solve on. The attackers go from less than a second to complete a request, to 30-60 seconds to complete a request, a significant slowdown.
Easy: just ask the scammer where he calls from, then hang up and call them yourself. If the problem is legitimate, you get to talk to real clerk and resolve it, if not the real person will tell you that. Bonus points: tell them the phone of the scammer and they can do smth about it, like start investigation as to who leaked your data to criminals.
when in doubt, strawman the fuck out of your opponent. That'll teach em to engage you.
I had a huge issue with this duo my parents being signed up to TalkTalk UK who were hacked. I have my parents phone set up so only whitelisted numbers can phone in. Your phone company is good at this. Their computing devices are iPads. Since their messaging requirements are simple (email and imessaging / Facetiming me).
Ghosn’s Escape from Japan Followed Months of Planning
>> Oh, it is definitely a huge cultural problem. In the US, many drivers will ignore the existence of pedestrians altogether.

Strange, because most likely the majority of drivers also walk at least a short distance around the same cities they drive into.

In the US in particular, eyballing the number of cars and the number of pedestrians in images of places like New York etc that I've seen, it's very hard to believe that there's a clear line separating all those people walking about from all those people who drive cars, other than the specific time of day they do one or the other.

So you'd think that being careful around pedestrians should come naturally to most drivers, if nothing else because they'd want other drivers to be careful around them as pedestrians also.
Interpol issues 'red notice' for Carlos Ghosn's arrest
It's a volunteer-ran event and mistakes happen. Probably as simple as "someone messed up the talk metadata and VOC wasn't aware that it shouldn't be recorded".
Symplectic Geometry for Engineers – Fundamentals (ResearchGate)
Right on green is pretty brutal as well. A cyclist is going to keep moving forward and completely depends on the visibility of the drivers turn signal, assuming they decide to use it.
I don't think its new for democracies to control free speech, they just have far,far better tools to do so today. Lincoln didn't have the Internet, but he did suppress opposition by suspending habeas corpus and clapping a supreme court justice in irons. Robespierre, the man of the people for part of the French Revolution, which supposedly valued liberty and fraternity, decapitated numerous political enemies until finally he himself became the enemy.

I could go on, but humans have been bending and breaking democratic egalitarian rules for centuries. Modern technology is just so pervasive, Putin and Trump can affect the information at everyone's fingertips always with social media and online information.

Indeed, any powerful entity can buy anything online: clicks, bots, comments, views, accounts, literally anything they want to say can reach millions of people. This would be ameliorated by ethical and moral information platforms, which we seem to not use and not build for profit reasons.
Hi, I have been a reader of HN, but this is my first project and posting - I created a bookmark manager for capturing favorite urls - that can be grouped by topic (on boards) and shared with others. It is completely free. It needs login (email optional) to create links, but no login needed to view shared boards.

In a previous life I did back office development for ecommerce. We had two applications, one RoR monolith and a "modern" JavaScript Meteor SPA. The SPA was actually developed to replace the equivalent functionality in the RoR application but we ended up killing it and sticking with what we had. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish server side rendering is just as good, if not better than the latest and greatest in client side rendering.
But if they already own an iPad maybe this metaphor can make it more easy to explain. Chrome OS on a chromebook is like iOS, Windows / MacOS functions like Android. For me this has kept the discussion simple and people already on iOS understand the difference in flavor immediately.
it should be second nature to ask for help for something you don't understand or feel uncomfortable with. my parents and friends would literally say that they need to consult with their tech guy, that's me :), to make sure everything is alright. they would know something is wrong with the situation right away if they were told not to talk to me by the person.

and that really goes for _ANY_ situation in life. if you are told _not_ to talk to someone else about a situation, you are being controlled and taken advantage of.
Hate speech laws vary widely from country to country (from none to strict), but I thought the Wikipedia two-sentence summary sounded reasonable:

"The laws of some countries describe hate speech as speech, gestures, conduct, writing, or displays that incite violence or prejudicial actions against a group or individuals on the basis of their membership in the group, or which disparage or intimidate a group or individuals on the basis of their membership in the group. The law may identify a group based on certain characteristics."

I'd like to know what kinds of societal discourse is being held back when there are laws prohibiting disparagement or intimidation of people based on their membership in a group.

What are we missing out on, that hate speech laws as described are prohibiting?

I don't believe gay rights activism could in any way fall under that, or any other kinds of pro-civil rights activism, as has been mentioned elsewhere. None of those are focused on disparagement or intimidation, but the opposite: freedom from disparagement or intimidation.
> If the majority wants to be more authoritarian, and they would be save for speech restrictions, why would they not just vote to change the speech restrictions?

They eventually will. However, that takes time and political capital. Hopefully enough time to fight off/fix whatever is causing the hate and resentment to build.
Ross Ulbricht, who was apprehended at a public library while logged in to various accounts. As I recall a plain clothes agent distracted him while others then tackled him.

("would've", not "would of")
Late thought: I want to say that as someone who reads or listens to 3-4 books a week, there are a lot of mediocre, terrible books out there. Many non-fiction books are based on opinion instead of research.

Just because something is printed and bound doesn't make it inherently better than a profoundly insightful series of tweets.

Then again, don't believe everything you read in the comments on Hacker News, either.
Tube stations do have bins now, but they're just clear bags on a hoop so that its easy to see the contents and so that there is nothing there to act as shrapnel.

You can still see in lots of stations where old bin were, often moulded into the walls and covered over with plates. Often they still say "Litter" above them.
You can always tell which pedrstrians in Oslo are visitors, because they wait for cars to slow down at crosswalks before setting foot in the street. Norwegians are so accustomed to motorists being attentive that they blindly and confidently stroll into traffic (at crosswalks).
It was the least untruthful thing he could say.
> People are scared and want their leaders to protect their jobs from foreign competition.

It's not 'competition' that people are afraid of, it is unfair government intervention and tariffs. The idea with Trump's trade wars is that if a country imposes tariff's on US goods, the US will respond in kind until those tariff's are removed and fair competition is restored. Whether or not this is actually happening in practice is another story, but to say nationalists are afraid of competition misses the mark.
I totally agree — the existence of “hate speech” isn’t a postmodern point of view, but rather a modernist reaction to postmodernism. But a great many authoritarian modernists use postmodern arguments in bad faith as a way to delegitimize their critics.
This was a great read. Nothing like a story from the inside to highlight that senior executives at Google really don't care about human rights and just how far down the slippery slope they've already gone.

I was expecting a "kill switch" destroying the computer, but that's just a thing that switch off your laptop when unplugged. I guess you could also do this with bluetooth, for example.
Here is an interesting article on how automobile manufacturers helped to make jaywalking a crime in order to quell the concerns of automobile deaths and shift the responsibility onto the pedestrians in order to make automobiles more appealing:

That all seems... pretty damning. Not very surprising, but pretty damning.

Google definitely needs to outright fire the HR partner who was stupid enough to write that they should "do some digging" on a staff member down. They're clearly a liability.
I realize I created a dichotomy in my first post, the issue is more nuanced than that of course, removing cars entirely would never by my solution.

My reasoning to de-prioritize cars is simply that cars protect only some individuals at a high cost to everyone else in the city. They do it without solving the underlying issues, in some cases making them worse.

For most cities, focusing on cars takes resources (space/time/money) from systems that would otherwise help everyone in the city, like public transport and better amenities. Things like wider shared walking/biking paths, better lighting, safer public toilets and public spaces.

Cars create enormous amounts of noise, pollution and danger, and take up square miles of real estate, while getting in the way of everyone else. There's often dozens to hundreds of people waiting in the weather for just a handful of cars at one intersection alone. I forget how many times me and 20 others have to spend 10 minutes standing in the 40c heat waiting for five cars to muddle their way over the road.

The kicker is it doesn't even work that well, most cities with heavy car traffic are highly congested. Filling the space with pollution, noise and generally getting in the way while they barely achieve their own goals. Then when it's not so busy, the pedestrians are waiting for nothing. The car infrastructure itself is what's in the way. Increasing walking times, distances and exposure to the elements for everyone.

Not everyone can afford a car based metro commute either, parking alone can be prohibitively expensive. By focusing on cars, you're also creating a very tangible gap between those who get to enjoy the luxury of their car and those who have to stand in the sun/rain/snow/danger/noise and suffer. If you focused on making a better city instead of better roads, you could make it better for everyone.
Not sure what state you're in, but in every major city I've visited in the Midwest (and in SF, Seattle, San Jose, Denver, etc.) I've always seen some areas in the city where litter is everywhere, often collecting against fences and curbs.

Tourist/more HCOL areas are often very clean, though.
Be open about the challenges of context switching and how that may lower your overall productivity.

Use specific examples (so everyone can learn) and avoid making about people by focusing on the jobs to be done.

If you're not comfortable bringing this up to boss directly, shoot through a Sr dev first (who may coach you around the issues / validate your concerns), or, Sr dev may speak up when needed to support your cause should you bring it to the group/boss.
Education. Whenever I'm talking to my mother about tech I make it as simple and relatable as possible. I drill in a few things:

Passwords are as private as the most embarrassing thing you can imagine. Never give them out to anyone. Ever.

No financial institution will randomly call you unless its a fraud alert. Even then, ask to call back and then call the company using their direct number to verify. Anyone trying to keep you on the line is suspect. You have a right to hang up at any time.

Treat your email address like your home address. Would you randomly give your home address to strangers?

Phone numbers are so easy to fake you could do it on your cell phone. Do not trust caller ID.

If in doubt call your children.

And I do get a lot of calls about everything but I'm glad my mother calls to verify instead of taking a chance. So many older parents stay in parental mode when their children are well into adulthood and tend to trust their judgement before their children's. That or they don't want to bother them or even admit they know less. Hubris and ignorance are the problem.
Version number is too blunt an instrument

Ideally I want enough introspection in my tooling to automatically pick up breaking changes by doing static analysis between versions and where breaking changes are impossible to detect I want humans to tell me what the breaking changes are in a structured way

I want my dependency manager to take me up to the next breakage free version and to see what the breaking changes are if specified, maybe with programmatic suggestions/fixes from the library maintainer

And perhaps hardest of all I want the culture of change to being hyper allergic to breaking changes in the rich hickey sense
I do that too, though I usually also give the code author a heads up first, so they are not surprised when their SOC reach out to them. Sometimes security orgs can be a little abrasive or terse which can be unnerving.
Maybe if you had some super-short typealiases it would work, e.g. ‘typealias UnsafeRawPointer = URP’. Otherwise, you get bogged down with all the casting and other FFI stuff. One alternative besides gdb is cling: https://root.cern.ch/cling

No, I haven’t, so please don’t put words in my mouth. If you notice, I’ve corrected inaccuracies in your statements, not commented on your core premise. I’m not going to do so again (but could) as we seem to be violently agreeing without you realizing, so as such have a good day!
Other English speakers I know complain about our orthography: bought, caught, draught, etc. But, yet, here we are with a “word” pronounced “of” and spelled “‘ve”! Now that’s awful orthography!
Once he was identified he was gone anyway.
Or maybe there is wisdom in thinking of applications more along the lines of protocol stacks.

A TeX layer implements mechanism, a LaTeX layer does the policy, and an Overleaf handles the UI chores.

I found the thought process of trying to make the predictions quite rewarding to go through, it will be interesting to look back in 10 years and see how close or not they are
