I was talking to a layperson about encryption and privacy and they were very much against both interestingly. They compared encryption to wearing a mask in public and said if people don't want to be noticed (w.r.t privacy and encryption) they shouldn't be "participating" (it was unclear what they meant by this).

Just goes to show you how the average person thinks about these things. I have to admit I wouldn't like it if people wore masks in public in a way where I couldn't recall their face, but I don't think that's necessarily the same as encryption, but I guess I see the comparison.
To me this is solving Tailwind's biggest issue: consistency & context.

Comparing it to Bootstrap or Foundation adding the class `alert alert-danger` to a div tells my coworkers that it's an "alert" & it will look like an alert everywhere. If I want to change how alerts look, I change the CSS

With Tailwind you'd have `bg-red-100 border border-red-400 text-red-700 px-4 py-3 rounded relative`. Then I'd have to change my HTML everywhere to update the appearance of alerts & its not always obvious that I'm looking at an "alert" in code. I'd end up with different looking alerts, cards, buttons, etc all over my app
And I think that's due to a "let's keep driving" bias. In Uber's crash, for example, it detected an object moving in the road, but didn't understand what it was. Any reasonable human driver would have quickly stopped until it was clear what was going on. But the Uber car just kept going at speed until it was sure that it was a pedestrian, at which point a collision was inevitable.

I think the right thing to do is to invert the bias. If the car isn't sure it understands what's going on and that it's safe to proceed, it should stop. In which case, development becomes a long series of teaching about rarer and rarer circumstances, so it needs less and less human input to understand the road.
Wait, people actually go to /r/wsb for investment advice? The entire time I thought it was a mix of posting wins/losses along with some memes/humor.
Ugh.

There are a load of serverless resources in AWS. Lambda is a place to run code without containers, VMs, etc. There is no IP address for a Lambda - it "just runs". Access is governed by the IAM of the AWS account or through an API gateway.

It is quite possible that you don't need a VPC at all. I'm having a lot of trouble understanding putting a service running "above" legacy networking into a private network.
What specifically about them got you interested? The storyline, characters, the mechanics of the game?
> Why does this say that the DOJ has been pushing for this since 2016?

Because that's when Trump came into power and nothing bad ever happened under the Obama admin.
The game should run between. 30-60 minutes at the most with normal rules and if everyone knows what's up. Once the first player falls an auction begins or one player gets all the assets and the game is quickly over after that. Most games go on forever because there's money on free parking or you don't do auctions, or you have unlimited houses.

Play by the rules and the game is very fun with a lot of strategies.

They don't fine you if you do cash transactions. They fine you if you don't do enough card transactions.
House rules that obviate this to some extent (e.g. 'free parking') seem a bit like a debt jubilee.
Wait, no trading??? That seems to remove the only interesting aspect of the game!

Otherwise you're all sitting around a board that randomly generates resources for you to spend and sorta get in each other's way with road and settlement placements. If you want semi-solo Euro games, play something with way less dice variance!

The trades and dynamic that arises from the mechanic are pretty much the only reason to play imo. Otherwise the dice mechanics are way too strong as you point out.
For React Bootstrap there's http://divjoy.com
Settlers of Catan is a deeply flawed game. It's far better than monopoly but is definitely too dice-heavy and kingmaker oriented. Dominion is in a lot of ways among the worst games in the genre it created as most of the variants that followed added more interesting mechanics and tradeoffs. It should get a lot of credit for being original so I guess I'm fine with calling it a great game. Splendor is a classic.

Wow, that's really depressing. I thought hard work and good ideas were important and valuable contributions to society.
I think you're mistaken.

Virtually any proposal that the government might offer will be a key escrow. We already know it's bad and why it's bad, because it's been debated for decades. I don't think there are any more novel solutions that should revitalize the argument.

The problem isn't that there aren't enough oversight mechanisms or checks to prevent abuse. The problem is that the design has unfixable security defects.
When people say string theory makes untestable predictions, do they mean:

1) The ways in which its predictions differ from the standard model cannot be tested, while the rest of its predictions match up with all tested physics thus far.

2) or, none of its predictions can be tested?

People say it's untestable so it's not science, but that only really makes sense in scenario two. In scenario two, it still provides testable predictions that just happen to match other models too.
I'll admit, the creation of new wealth/money is very mysterious. How to know when it is growing the pie?

Wealth is stuff that people want. You create wealth by creating stuff that other people want. http://www.paulgraham.com/wealth.html has a long version of this explanation.

The last 200 years have seen a dramatic transformation as we have found ways to efficiently create more wealth, with the result that we all have more stuff that we want than pretty much anyone used to. Both new kinds of stuff (effective medicine, gadgets like washing machines, electronic devices...) and the kinds of stuff we used to have (food, potable water, etc...).

And yet, people still emotionally fall prey to the old fallacy that more for thee means less for me. The truth is that there is no society on record that has managed to lower inequity without major disaster such as war or plague. And also no society on record that has managed to increase the prosperity of the poor without seeing income gaps rise.

(Read Enlightenment Now for a lot more detail on both of these phenomena.)

Or, as Margaret Thatcher put it, "...he would rather that the poor were poorer provided the rich were less rich." (See https://speakola.com/political/margaret-thatcher-on-socialis... for the full quote.)
I have a feeling a few bad actors will force them to rescind this policy. Something similar happened with REI: They used to offer a lifetime no questions asked guarantee. I knew people that would return hiking boots they used for 5 years, and claim they were faulty because a shoelace broke or the tread wore too far.

Wait, isn't VPC more or less required unless you have a really old account, that still has EC2-Classic support?

You either use custom or the default VPC, but in both cases, you are using a VPC. You can manage them in the same way, and if you want, you can also delete the default VPC.

*There are resources that don't necessarily use any of your VPCs (e.g. Lambda, Lightsail), but the vast majority of the services require a VPC.

So in an ethics discussion the professor simply asked "is X bad?" That doesn't seem like a very enlightened ethics discussion.

How certain are you he said "bad"? If he has instead asked "is encryption problematic?", the outcome can be interpreted much differently because there are problems with encryption. Especially in an ethics discussion, there are definitely pros and cons to encryption. (FWIW, the pros outweigh the cons by far, IMHO.)

I'm not trying to say your memory is wrong, I'm just asking how certain you are about what was asked exactly. Changing one synonym for another can make a big difference.
No, they're for people who experience that and have money. If you have ~$0 assets and suddenly have no income, $10k might as well be $10m.
I haven't downvoted you myself, but I suspect that it may be related to your statement that most homeless people have mental problems. (This is only a wild guess and may be completely wrong.)

It is not at all clear that "most homeless people have mental problems" because it is not at all clear how many people are homeless. There are many people who are couch surfing around friends places with no actual home of their own. They are homeless, but they don't necessarily count amongst the homeless figures. They are also completely mentally competent. They may also outnumber the official homeless, but we don't really know.

What is all your point getting at? I mean don't you have already in USA public schools,roads, parks, firemen, police ?
You can have your private bodyguards if you like, your private teachers etc. Do you think say firemen should go and only stop fire if you have insurance and if you are poor you should just burn? If not then why should a poor person have no health care , a rich dude can pay for private hospitals and doctors anyway.

Encryption allows data to be locked away from the government including law enforcement and prosecutors in a way that was nearly impossible for the average citizen a few decades ago. Warrants can't break encryption like they could doors or locks. As much of life moves to the digital world and becomes encrypted, that can be a drastic change in how the justice system works. Pro-encryption people need to keep this in mind when talking to anti-encryption folks. Criminals being able to hide evidence is a serious concern for the average person.
Where do you get your knowledge of the EU from? It's full of incredibly powerful protection laws which are great for consumers, and I for example feel sorry for Americans(and others, but Americans seem to be affected the worst by the favourism of corporations) and their abusive and non-existent "consumer protection" laws.
While it is true that we don't live in pure capitalism (which is likely a good thing, BTW) the socialist proposals on the table from people like Sanders are nothing less than nuclear economic bombs that would cause unimaginable damage to the US.

Let's ignore labels for a moment and focus on just one of them: Medicare for all.

Lofty concept. We can all agree that healthcare should be universally available, not just in the US but all over the world. We want a healthier population everywhere. Agreed, 100%. No problem.

The issue is how we --if we just focus on the US-- actually get there. Not in some fantasy land, but in reality.

Here's the basics of how Medicare works: You get on it and have a spending limit. After that you are moved onto Medicaid.

Here's the basics of Medicaid: Medical care you receive after 55 years of age is not free. You owe this money to the government. Every penny of it. And, by law, States are REQUIRED to collect on this debt.

Here it is, directly from the Medicaid website:

https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/eligibility/estate-recover...

If you read that you'll also discover that States can (and do) impose liens on the estates of the debtors in order to recover costs. Now, it is easily understood that people over 55 years of age are more likely to receive far more medical care than otherwise healthy younger people. Which means they have you spending on a credit card when you need to spend the most on your healthcare. That's just plain evil if you ask me. And it is NOT health "insurance", it's a loan.

In other words, shoving you into Medicare eventually lands you in Medicaid, which eventually converts into debt. And the government takes your property to pay for it.

Even worse, under certain circumstances your kids will inherit this debt with the government. As I said, evil, pure evil.

So, what Bernie is proposing is, to go right to the core of it, the largest private property grab by any government in the history of humanity.

And, this is good? How?

You see, my top-level criticism might seem and sound ideological. It isn't. It is rooted in facts, mathematics and a real desire to know if we are actually helping people or set out on a path to create misery and destruction. As simple as that.

Bernie and company should be laughed out of politics. They are dangerous fools who are selling a good story to a bunch of people who have been indoctrinated by our schools into being receptive to these ideas without actually digging for facts and thinking about the real consequences of adopting them.

I sincerely hope you take the time to think about this. Even if all you internalize is this one issue with the concept of "Medicare for all" the consequence should be to see these people as what they are dangerous fools selling a good story that has a real evil underbelly we will not discover until it is too late. If you support Bernie you are supporting that reality, not the rosy utopia he paints.
Sort of a silly assertion as what's baked into your question is.

Such a situation will no longer happen in mankind history.

Also, are you always this rude or is it just internet comments that you disagree with?
Firstly I must say that I'm pretty tired of low intellectual efforts comments, especially when they increase or maintain a common erroneous/suboptimal opinion.
As such, I highly consider information pollution and I want to protect people from this and their cognitive biases.

Also, It require a big chunk of wisdom, but if you really think about it:
Did your brain forgot to take into account this little information?
Is not rude at all.
This statememt is true and I didn't use imperative mood but conditional grammatical mood.
Also some truths hurts ego indeed. But being hurt by information showing that our brain has limitations is irrational, we as humans make thinking errors as a daily routine, myself included.
Such information allow you and readers to progress (iff they bypass their ego and the backfire effect).
Personally I exclude myself from my past brain and my statements, I visualize them as beings outside of myself so when someone attack (without fallacies) what I said, they didn't attack ME, they attacked only what I said: that is, an intellectual product that could have been malformed due to limitations such as lacking knowledge or cognitive biases or presence of logical fallacies.

My comment could show you there is a path to intellectual progress and I could give you some useful links (such as lesswrong.com ) if you're interested in it.

Thanks for reading, human not made of pixels.
While it's mostly for jokes, it's also hit r/all enough times and has enough subs that if the sub jumps on a particular meme stock, they are enough to actually make it move.

So, it's somewhat ironically become a way to coordinate purchase/selling of a stock by getting enough of the hivemind to go along with a particular stock.

It's still a terrible place for general advice though.

Inexpensive, downloadable, and DRM free games are what I always wanted. In addition, GOG keeps a store of all the games I own and I can download them multiple times.

This is exactly the service that I would imagine other gamers would want, as well. It seems almost petty to torrent when this is available.

One interesting thing you can do with CouchDB is that you can have a webapp where a user can specify their own database and credentials and it works over HTTP(s). That's pretty unique. I'd love to see a SaaS using CouchDB and their "on-premise" offering just means the user provides their own database. I'm not sure how payment would work though - perhaps some verification proxy?

Firebase is the gold-standard for offline apps (as a service). CouchDB replaces Cloud Firestore, and Keycloak replaces Authentication. I haven't seen OSS equivalents of Cloud Functions, ML Kit, and the other things (e.g. In-App messaging, and Cloud Messaging). It'd be nice to have the entire stack of Firebase bundled as a group of OSS projects, including CouchDB.

Sad to see that per doc access control didn't make it in 3.0. Hopefully it'll be in 3.1.
No matter how you think about the EU, this new structure above european individual nations has shaken up and successfully confronted many national lobby groups and special interests. Every country may have it's weirdness, but, for example, the fire retardant lobby couldn't extend their BS over all of Europe.

One aspect of Brexit could very well be national lobbyists wanting their control back.

Strategically buring news with other events that are higher priority in the news cycle is nothing new and worth pointing out.
I find it interesting that the hn world is largely unified in beliefs about the trade-offs of exceptional access that aren’t necessarily true. Perhaps this is a cultural top-down tribal mentality borne of an adversarial arrangement between the billionaire oligarchs behind the startup scene and the government which serves to offer counterbalance against unchecked power.

I personally find it reprehensible that large trillion dollar tech corps wash their hands of responsibility for the safety of citizens by offering strong encryption to the masses.

I’m personally okay with secret police, but such things work better in secret. The calculus has indeed changed. Checks and balances within such secret societies do need to exist. I’m hopeful that tech geniuses will help to solve the problems regarding technical and social trade offs and risks behind exceptional access, instead of conforming to the often strict libertarian mentality of the sv community.
It's mostly what you said but as the sub got more popular, a lot of people started treating it as sage advice to get rich quickly without understanding what they were doing.

There were a few posts by people pumping their stocks and the like but I think the current market correcrion/recession bell tolling will scare most people off
It isn't like Nuclear weapons, though, because every single computer has everything you need to do full encryption. Nuclear weapons require materials, manufacturing, etc.

Nuclear weapons require both the knowledge and the physical world parts.... encryption just requires the knowledge, which is impossible to put back in the box.

> If you consume and produce things in a way that doesn't release net CO₂

So far global output of wealth and well-being is directly tied to emissions and consumption of fossil fuels. We have a 110-year long precedent for that. You could even argue it started with the Industrial Revolution, so the period is longer.

France is probably the only example of a country that came close enough to decoupling economic prosperity from CO2 production through Nuclear energy, but even they produce 5GT of CO2 per person.

It also isn't particularly evident that Nuclear is reproducible worldwide - it is very expensive, and Uranium is also a finite resource if you were to multiply its use by a factor of 10x/20x, etc. Remember, France is less than 1% of the world's population.

So decoupling prosperity from emissions is pretty much the panacea everyone wants. But it's unrealistic to hope for it and expect it to come in on our timeline. Kind of like fusion.
