I don't understand how you can ban a machine from doing something that a human can do.

Consider the following scenarios:

- I can pay for a person to watch archival video and take notes on paper as to who comes in and out of frame.

- I can have software that helps a person crop faces of people coming in and the person can tag and catalog the people coming in and out of frame.

- I can have software that identifies human looking things and things that look like faces and a person can tag those

- I can have software that identifies human looking things and things and recommends a similar face. A human confirms.

- I can have software do everything.

At which point does it become facial recognition? The end results are the same regardless of which step you ban. So is any ban just meant to make the cost artificially high? I think you could outsource it anyway via Mechanical Turk or something similar if there is a real value to facial recognition.

I don't think banning technology is the answer.

Here is what's happening in the UK.

All I can hope for, is that some activist group takes the police to court and the legislative branch reacts to then impose rules for spying on its citizens.

Some of the things I can think off the top of my head:

1) Citizens can legally opt out by putting on face masks. Especially when it's cold.

2) Video / Images are stored outside of government bodies and akin to a black box. Must require warrants to review footage.

3) Video / Images / Data are deleted after 1 year.

4) No data of citizens facial features, body structure, gate are transferred into a national database.

Honestly though, where the UK is going. I firmly believe in 20 years all citizens physical meta-data will be tracked and stored in a black box somewhere and then later leaked on-line.

Stimulants are bad news bro. I was diagnosed as a kid, and my sophomore year of college as well. I also didnt get enough sleep (or low quality sleep), had a terrible diet, etc. You can avoid the grips of amphetamines with regular exercise, mindfulness meditation, keto diet, yoga, etc. It's a bit harder to maintain, but you won't have to take amphetamines.
ADHD is not a disease. It’s a collection of symptoms that have been arbitrarily grouped together. My son’s psychiatrist who was diagnosing my son for ADHD said that it’s psychiatry’s dirty little secret.

Back in the 60s or 70s ( I can’t remember what he said) people were starting to notice that kids were having behavioral problems, trouble focusing etc.

So what they did was collect a group of symptoms, and then arbitrarily said “if the child has 6 out of 11 of these symptoms then they have ADHD.”

The reason why they chose 6 was because if they chose 5 then too little number of children would get diagnosed, and if they chose 7, then too many children would get diagnosed. Having 6 would mean that 7-10% of kids would get diagnosed which “looked right” so they chose 7.

It’s not a real disease like other diseases, it’s a collection of symptoms. Which is why kids get misdiagnosed all the time. Anxiety can produce ADHD-like symptoms. Other things like giftedness and boredom can also fry diagnosed as ADHD.

There really are children with focus issues where medication like adderall will absolutely help. It will make kids with anxiety worse though so a misdiagnosis will ruin lives. But the origins of where ADHD came from explains why there is so many issues with ADHD disgnoses.

You can only lease Spot, and the cost is roughly around the monthly cost of a luxury car lease. You're also prohibited in the lease agreement from attaching anything to a hard point that is solely designed to cause human harm (weapons of any sort).
> Regulating this system means addressing all three steps of the process. A ban on facial recognition won't make any difference if, in response, surveillance systems switch to identifying people by smartphone MAC addresses. The problem is that we are being identified without our knowledge or consent, and society needs rules about when that is permissible.

It sounds like the ban needs to be broader, and extend to ban any technology used to automatically identify individuals without their consent using surveillance sensors.

That's my whole point. Increasingly, people's idea of the rule of law is their subjective opinion of this person. Trump could have been impeached for the exact same offense, and 99% of people opinions of what should happen next wouldn't change.
VC money does not fix TAM, be it 100M or 1B. What is does; allows startup to pivot and find other areas of growth (hopefully really fast), which is not easy or guaranteed to work either. Recent examples like WeWork, Zume and many more... I must also add, sometimes not everything that one sees fits in the definition of TAM... by true definition of TAM, AirBnB and UBER would have been a lifestyle business when they were first started....
A bunch of people in this thread complain how integration has gotten way worse over the years. I'm pretty confident this is banks "fighting back" with 2-fa and other additional security measures--many seem to have the goal of locking out these kinds of services. A very few seem to be embracing it (they have a token system that have revokable read-only access).

Personally, I'm looking to move banks/credit cards towards services with better integration at the expense of other things like better returns.
The unbelievable part is that he could find the contract.
I can't read the link as its down but here's an article that does a good job of explaining the leaked EU report [0].

> As for facial recognition, the Commission document highlights provisions from the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, which give citizens “the right not to be subject of a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling.”

It's more nuanced than "a ban on facial recognition". The leaked white paper is also available [1]

Recognizing sarcasm generally requires context on the author. You can make assumptions that lead to this looking like sarcasm or you can take it on face value; both are fairly likely to have some users that would write the comment.

I think it's kind of silly to use for that reason.
While scary if in the wrong hands, I hope testing gets cheap enough that everyone's DNA is on file somewhere.

DNA has already been doing good. Murderers that never got caught are now being caught through familial DNA..20+ years after the crime.

There is this concept, Hero's journey:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27s_journey

The fact is that society benefits and advance because some humans do extraordinary things, for example the Guthemberg's printer, crossing the Ocean,antibiotics, diodes, transistors, computers, going to the moon...

Society rewards you because you give the society. And it is a good thing, because the cultures that do that improve, and the cultures that not collapse.

I am in Spain right now which has a more socialistic culture, "subsidizing everything" and punishing the productive(progressive taxing). In lots of ways the society is collapsing because of that,everybody wanting to be subsidized,lots of unemployment, debt skyrocketing and productive people leaving to other countries.
Voluntary disclosure sounds as if it undoes the secret ballot.

Just a reminder: the secret ballot is secret to protect those, whose genuine vote would otherwise be manipulated (/forced/extorted/...)

Not every individual voter might need that level of protection for themselves.

But every individual voter requires this level of protection for the whole process.

Phrased differently: for some, anonymity in voting is nice. For others, it is necessary to get their genuine vote.
For democracy to function, we need everyone's genuine vote.

Thus: we need voter anonimity that cannot be rescinded by the voter - nor by anyone else.

This! The account synchronization regularly breaks and will tell me that my "Credentials are Out of Date" at which point I then go, and sign in again only to be dumped at the loading page of my financial institution with nothing happening.

Basic challenge: Tech forums thrive on explaining, and providing solutions. We do like doing that even without a full understanding of the situation.

So, if, as a woman, you raise a problem in a space that's mostly male (like pretty much all tech spaces), you'll get a bunch of suggestions of trivial things to try (that you usually already have tried), plus a bunch of questions that amount to "I don't see your problem, so it doesn't exist".

I firmly believe that isn't malevolence - it's lack of knowledge plus some traits that are more pronounced in people in software engineering. (We can have a long debate about why they're pronounced, but for a moment let's just stipulate to their existence)

This means, as a woman (or in general, as part of a minority), you spent the vast amount of time in majority spaces explaining things, over, and over, as opposed to actually diving deeper on your problem.

Again, this is not due to malevolence, or because men are bad - it's an outcome of the situation. Let's say we're all prone to ask questions of other people that seem basic to them if we're sufficiently different - because we just don't know.

Now, if you're in a space where you're the only one in your group (The "yous"), and there are 10 others ("others"), and we all ask on average one such question per day - "yous" get 10 questions/day, "others" get 0.1/day. IOW: You feel you get asked super-basic questions 100 times more often than anybody else. You can see how that wouldn't make feel people very welcome :)

If you want to avoid causing them, there are a couple of fairly easy ways:

* Don't make assumptions about other people. ("You're a man, you should be good at.../bad at...")

* If people talk about their own experiences, just believe them. Don't have them explain every single bit.
* Don't offer solutions if you don't fully understand a problem.

* If you want to help, Google at least basic information first. (Let's have an example: If you don't understand why women need a mother's room, head to Google first. Don't just say "I don't understand why there aren't father's rooms, too!". Sounds strange, but literal example I experienced)

* Find common ground, instead of focusing on the differences. (Here, for example: "Yay for launching this. How'd you do X" is much better than "why do you need that space". If you must ask that question, phrase it so it's still on common ground - we're on HN, people care about market fit, so ask "How'd you find out there was a need for it?")

* And if you still need to ask a question, because you truly lack the understanding and can't find the answer, do what you did: Make yourself vulnerable. Admit you really don't know, and you'd like to understand. (But really, Google first :)

I hope that's a somewhat helpful answer?
Yes, it's normal. Just people scanning for SSH ports to attack.

What I did was take the IANA IPv4 address space list[1] and add firewall rules to drop packets to port 22 coming from /8's that I would never connect from. I'm in the US, so it made sense for me to drop connections from subnets assigned to RIPE, APNIC, etc. It didn't eliminate the problem, but it reduced the connection attempts considerably.

Which is a part of The Matrix story that doesn't make sense...

It would've made more sense to say that they were using the human brains as CPUs, so conciously the humans were living in society, but sub/unconciously they were performing calculations for "the machines".

Which would open up an interesting plot, if the machines' (AI) "consciousness" ran on our brains and they didn't have their own hardware CPUs, would that make the humans the machines? Or would the program be seen like a computer virus?

> NC: One thing that’s happened is the press has been pretty much muzzled. They are very uncritical.

This is a big issue with mass media in India that many don’t realize or want to realize. Between — a) most of the mainstream media houses (except a few) not asking tough questions (but supporting the government for everything), b) the Supreme Court ignoring important cases and not hearing them for years and c) the amount of fake news spread through WhatsApp — the liberal forums in India are filled with stories of how people are losing relationships or finding it difficult to digest the fact that their loved ones are close minded bigots.

Twitter has become a cesspool of bots, political party “IT Cells” and people copy pasting the same messages and hashtags, while WhatsApp has become the main source of truth (actually falsehood) for most people.

With all of these types of conversations and threads I am more curious to hear from the disciplined, focused people who seem to be the goal for what Adderiddlinvanse fixes.

I have wondered if I have ADD many times in the past. Mostly, because I was in school and being forced to do a task that I didn't enjoy, nor wanted to enjoy. When I have found things that I do genuinely enjoy, I can focus for hours and hours on end.

I am not opposed to any diagnosis or treatment, but I really have never met anyone who can truly focus on anything, at any moment for a super long amount of time. From my own experience and the conversations I have had with friends that take Adderall/etc. it seems like we have believed that there exists a significant portion of the population that has an uncanny ability to focus on tasks, both fun and boring. I certainly think there are a few people out there like this, but anecdataly, most people I know are more towards to the distractable/ADD/ADHD spectrum than the focused types.

I bring this up, because if our perception of how many people around us have this god-like ability to focus is wrong, I suspect many people will take medicine under a misconception.

Like I said, don't want to ignore the extreme cases, but genuinely would like to hear from a few people that read this and can confidently say they can do most/all tasks without breaking focus.

Cannabis definitely helps the irritability and loss of appetite.

Just the IP, IIRC, but it doesn't know who you are. There are more details on their blog in one of the latest blog posts.
I've seen that so many times, but also its opposite too: willingness to drop the stack when a relatively minor problem pops up. Navigating through both of these takes experience and keen observation.

Housing should not be an asset class. Financial institutes will try to convince you that securitization is what made housing affordable but that’s far from the truth.
So let's say you're the police and you want to keep an eye out for bad guys, and you have a bunch of CCTVs. According to the rule you quoted, it would be sufficient to surface the face match to someone, who would manually check that it is the right person before going ahead and arresting them? That person could even be the police themselves? I bet people think this is banning a lot more behavior than it is.
I’ve been trying to watch all of the Oscar nominated movies before the academy awards. I’m down to the documentaries now, so I’m watching the documentary “American Factory” about a Chinese company that bought and refurbished an old GM plant in Ohio that had closed down. The camera crew followed around the Chinese workers and the American workers. The difference you see, over and over, is that the Chinese workers have this underlying belief that they are nothing by themselves and that they owe everything - their success, their focus, and even their lives - to the company and, by extension, the government/society. This results in factory workers who work 12-hour shifts, 28 days a month, forbidden to joke around with one another, and still praise their good fortune to be there. If you look back over the history of the Chinese cultural revolution, it started with this mantra: “you accomplished nothing. Society accomplished it and you were there.”

I don't see anything in the article to indicate it wasn't just the word grooming. To quote the relevant part:

She compared how reporters develop a friendly rapport with sources to how sexual predators “groom” children they’re targeting, the two people said. The term ‘grooming’ has been used by child safety advocates to describe how predators gain trust with their victims. Whitman’s comments upset some Quibi employees who described them as strange and off-putting.

That's it. She used the word "grooming," and then some commentary from third-parties about grooming being used to describe sexual predators. Except it's also been used to describe, you know, cultivating a contact. It's an old idiom. Additional context could further strengthen the assertion that this was meant to be related to sexual predators, except "journalists are like sexual predators" isn't being described as having been said.

As to a non-denial denial: "This reporting from The Information is materially inaccurate" is a moderately strong denial from a PR hack.

You're free to extrapolate from that as much as you like, but it just isn't there. There's no meaningful amount of information to conclude what she meant in one direction or another. I think given the incentives of the media outlet to generate controversy, it's safe to assume that if this is the most smoke they could generate, there likely isn't any fire.
Again, this assumes a slippery slope. Organ donors abound. Should we be allowed to redact it on our driver's licenses for fear that we might be judged by our bosses and neighbors or compelled to donate or that it reveals our religious beliefs?

When someone says, "America isn't ready for online voting." I hear, "The interests who already buy and aggregate enough information to have the results ahead of time want to stay 1 step ahead of regulators."
> What's your background? I'd be surprised to find corporate IPs were only scanned at the rate of domestic non-fixed IPs.

I scan for a living, have been doing so for a better part of the last 10 years. I spend lots of time keeping up with what other people are scanning for.

> If a black hat cracker finds data they can exfiltrate do you think they'd just leave it

Yeah sure, if a malicious hacker had access and knew what they had access to they wouldn’t just leave the data there. Odds are this would just be discovered by scripts trying to drop malware for DDoS, or ransomware.

As a black hat hacker scanning for things like this I always had the problem that I was finding way more data than I could realistically store and process, I’m sure I missed hundreds of things like this in my results because of that. The criminals doing this stuff don’t have teams of people working for them analyzing the data.

Then there’s the fact that a very significant chunk of blackhat hackers just won’t be working in late december. I understand that this may not sound like such an convincing argument at first, but this’ll almost certainly exclude at least half of the malicious actors who could’ve possibly found it.

I’m not saying it’s impossible, I just don’t think it’s particularly likely.
I switched to emacs in 2019 after using primarily vim for 12 years, and I think it's more than worth it. It's not an editor, it's not an IDE, it is kind of like an operating system where you can have a text editor, debugger, notes, mail, whatever you want. If you dig that, you'll love emacs. It's extensible in a way you've probably not experienced anywhere else, so if you like honing your tools so they fit the way you want to work, emacs is for you. I've actually come to long for an operating system that gives me the same "interactivity" as emacs does.

Of course, I edit text in emacs with evil: https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil
This is hilarious. Thanks for sharing.
Is it? This seems like something distinctly modern, and enabled first by the mass media and now by hyperpresent images and video on our phones.

Modern = past 1800 or so, with newspapers and the printing press and widespread literacy.

I’m trying to think of past examples and religious ones are the main ones I can come up with.

To be clear, I’m taking you to refer to an abstract violent status quo, where the violence is present but not tangible. (Unlike past status quos where you might readily see brute physical force directly rather than in video)
