Zooms end to end encryption is pointless because they can get at the data by performing an assertive action. Their competitors (at least the ones I have heard of) can also get at the data by performing an assertive action. The difference is probably that the people designing the Zoom knew that you can't have secure E2EE without customer access to the client source and an awkward identity verification requirement. So they didn't bother to pretend. As a result they probably saved themselves a lot of work.
No reasonable person would say som33's comment was an "unrelated controversy," it's a clear response to the question "Why was a case involving a wealthy corporation sealed?" The way HN is moderated does not welcome this line of questioning, though. You're not allowed to suggest that VC-funded tech might be a source of evil or bad ethics.

Proof? Here's a similar "flame-baity" comment under this topic that sits on the other side of the argument, but dang doesn't care enough to respond or detach it from its parent: https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=23013083&goto=item%3Fi...
So many people forget that running data center is a super complex business not just in point of technology but also in terms of operation.

I have known people who tried to setup a data center in India and it took them around 2 years to have the first rack installed. Biggest hurdle was to get a license to store fuel in large tanks for their generators. Not to mention many of those permissions have to be renewed annually and if you fail to renew it which can take months, you are not in compliance and hence can't use the generators.

In India you can not start your own power generation plant and you can sell electricity only to the government. Depending on many situations you have to technically register a separate entity, get licenses as a "power company" then on paper sell the electricity to government and then buy it back from government for your own use.
How do you mix work and homeschooling? How many hours do you work / week, and what do your kids do during that time?
Deepfakes (a better term is needed) are by their nature derivative works, which copyright already handles with the original's owner retaining rights which have to be acquired. I have absolutely no problem with it. If you don't own the copyright to your entire training data set, you are infringing by publishing something the model produces as I see it.

The courts or the legislature are going to have to address how your rights to your own image being synthesized like this, but again, I have no problem with someone retaining the same sorts of original ownership rights when it comes to derivative works that use data collected from them, beyond just who owns the copyright to the works in the dataset. (voice, video, images, etc.)
Fair. I'm not entirely convinced SNAP is better than UBI for food.

I am entirely convinced that universal healthcare should happen well before we start worrying about UBI.
If your image if your income, having it defamed via a deep fake or the image rights, aka copyright is only fair. Can't understand why anyone would not back a creator. So many on here are themselves working to create a unique creation that they can live off of.
Unqork – No Code Platform is raising a lot of money
What do you think about it, is it promising? or is it just another no-code platform?
I work primarily with grocery retailers, and this is quite accurate. Almost all of them have told us that they will not use any of our services if they are hosted in AWS. They used to be hesitant, but willing, but once Amazon acquired Whole Foods, it became a deal breaker.

The Analog Virus, Spurning a Digital Disease
Not sure about that. From what I understand, the German economy was recovering nicely and the Nazis were doing poorly in elections in the late 1920s. Then the Great Depression hit.

Nazi share of the vote in German federal elections from 1924 to the Nazi seizure of power in 1933:

May 1924 - 6.5%
Dec 1924 - 3.0%
May 1928 - 2.6%
Sep 1930 - 18.25%
Jul 1932 - 37.27%
Nov 1932 - 33.09%

if you see a new video with elvis presley today, you know it's not really him. the chances of mistaken identiy is low.

if the person is still alive then people might believe it's an original and the impersonated can legitimately claim that the fake is profiting from that mistaken identity.
Given the quality of discussion on this website, no im not.
By that logic can they remove videos claiming masks are effective at protecting yourself and society from the virus? Because I seem to recall the WHO (or I think it was the CDC?) blatantly lying about the efficacy of masks in order to keep them available to health professionals.

I think this underscores why I'm so uncomfortable with YouTube doing censorship (or anyone doing it). The official narrative is not always right.

In fact anytime we have a new discovery in science it starts out in contrary to the official accepted explanation and only gradually and often grudgingly gains acceptance over time. If you silence dissenting voices you also silence progress. Which is maybe why China struggles to innovate compared to the West.
Much more structured than my home-school PE. I would just roller-blade and bike around town, because I had a single mother who couldn't waste time driving me around to see friends. She would just approximate my distance into a PE journal and that was that.
For BGP partitions / Significant network outage conditions:
You may not find content partitioned on the other side of a netsplit from you, but the degraded condition is that you can still query and find content present in the same part of the network as you. This is better than centralized solutions face at present - e.g. google not being available in China, and isn't too far off from what you might hope.

For Sybils:
You've left the attack you're worried about pretty vague. IPFS itself doesn't need to tackle many of the sybil-related issues by being content addressable (so only worrying about availability - not integrity) and not being a discovery platform - so not worrying about spam / influence. For the remaining degradation attacks - someone overwhelming the DHT with misbehaving nodes - there's been a bunch of work in this release looking at how to score peers and figure out which ones aren't worth keeping in the DHT.
What do you do when a significant number of students can't view the video lecture or participate in video breakout rooms for 1:1 support because they lack access to the internet?

This isn't just an issue for those of limited financial means. There are areas where internet access is not available for any price or the cost for internet access to support regular viewing of video classroom content would run into the hundreds of dollars per month.
We shouldn't confuse aspiration with environmental constraints. Just because some company says their product, XYZ, was designed to change the world and increase IQ doesn't mean you can go around stating that XYZ changed the world and increased IQ, or analyzing the various characteristics of the product solely in terms of the claims. Rather, in reality almost everything of substance about such a product follows from exogenous constraints--cost, feasibility, etc.

To explain the seemingly arbitrary and stifling demands of a typical Prussian-style universal education system, the obvious place to look first would be cost--instructors, facilities, organization, etc.

Also, the beginning of industrialization coincided with the end of serfdom in much of Europe. Were capitalists trying to create and exploit compliant workers, or were they trying to create workers, period? That is, there were no workers beforehand, just serfs or recently emancipated serfs, depending on territory. Social reforms were so wildly successful in Prussia that they swept the Western world, even places like the U.S. where industrialization (but not universal education) was already well under way. Was that because it produced virtuous, Christian workers, or just because it was efficient at improving basic literacy?
Is it a parody as understood by the law, though? How is it parodying Jay-Z? It's definitely "for fun", but it's not clear that it's making fun of or commenting on Jay-Z.

It's really not clear to me. This page cites a case where someone imitated Dr Seuss' literary voice and lost.

I’m pretty steeped in the Amazon ecosystem. I’m a fan of the Alexa. I watch their content. I use AWS.

But I don’t trust it for anything that goes into my body any more. I’ll make a trip to a GNC to buy ON protein powder. I don’t trust Amazon to sell my something from the actual manufacturer.

That’s new for me. Just in the last couple of years. The risk profile of getting a bad knockoff is overwhelming now. And for ingestibles it’s just not worth it...
This is not to mention that Japan's going through some problems right now too in various ways. Not only did they experience a spike in COVID-19 cases early this month due to lax measures, Hokkaido actually had to go into lockdown again because they lifted the shelter in place order and it resulted in an even larger second wave of cases.

The fact that we're delusional enough to think that we're somehow safe from the same thing occurring here is absurd. And this is in a country that's far better about following shelter orders and mask-wearing guidance!

This is an impossible bar you're setting. People of color face racism in society in general. Where is your evidence that the military is so much worse that reforming a skinhead would be impossible?

Cool. I'm wondering though, personally I've had STEM teachers and met experts that have inspired me to do what I do now. Have you introduced things like science/robotics clubs to him? If it's not a secret. I'm just very curious.
Also there are doctors who have a strong incentive to stop the shut down because they own a few urgent care clinics that are having financial troubles during stay-at-home orders. And still more, there are doctors who don't have good reasoning skills.
>Rights associated with those people have been transferred and resold enough times that there's no clear claimant

That doesn't really matter. Anyone who held any piece of the rights could submit to YouTube for a take down, and YouTube will do it. They don't go very far in trying to figure out the legitimacy of a claim, and any rights holder will be good enough for them.

you can quite easily argue with it as many here have.
did you apply anywhere else? there are a million incubators. there are a million accelerators. try another one
Although those physical approaches are fascinating, I think there must be an easier software solution. How hard can it be to live edit the webcam recording so that half of the frame is a static picture? Then you just have notes flat on your desk... And the webcam will show it empty.

Alternatively, one could run a VM with the monitoring software, and have a separate window with notes. As long as the mirror is angled so to hide a small portion of the screen that should be good enough.

To build on your physical solution using polarization: that's easier. You can apply a polarized filter to the webcam (you can get one from an old pair of 3d glasses) and then have the notes on a secondary screen that will then look completely dark on webcam. Maybe lay the device on a black background so it's not obvious that there's a "turned off" device and you're done.

This is all a fun thought experiment. I don't have invasive professors, thankfully. They simply made all tests open book and raised the difficulty of the questions accordingly. That being said, I enjoy trying to work arounf hypothetical limitations...
Except they're wrong.

A simple check of excess mortality shows that something has already killed more people than would normally die during a bad flu season in areas affected by the virus, and we're nowhere near the end of the infection. And that's with lockdown measures that obviously suppress a bunch of common causes of death.

To successfully argue that covid-19 is less bad than the flu, you would have to show that all these extra dead people died of something other than covid-19. Good luck with that.
This is a great point. I found myself both admiring and hating some of my son's school work recently in that it illustrated and described mental problem solving exceptionally well, then gruelingly pushed him to repeatedly explain the model rather than simply use it. Pages upon pages of dissection and regurgitation. My son could understand the model just fine, but was perplexed as to why he had to go over it like that.
> The Role of a Data Engineer on a Team is Complementary and Defined By The Tasks That Others Don’t (Want To) Do (Well)

Those types of tasks are also often not recognized or rewarded by management, despite being a hugely critical part of the system. I believe the incorrect hiring of scientists who are often strong in terms of core theory or number of papers published but have no clue about building real production ML systems is a huge organizational problem, often causing ML teams to fail to deliver any real value.
> This isn't a problem in Rust because it doesn't have exceptions

Rust does have something similar to exceptions when compiled with "panic=unwind" (the default). It uses the same mechanism as C++ exceptions to unwind the stack (while calling all the necessary destructors), can be caught (std::panic::catch_unwind) and rethrown (std::panic::resume_unwind), and has some of the same concerns as C++ about "exception safety" (mostly within unsafe code - the programmer has to take care to leave the objects in a safe state when it can unwind).
What happens to at-risk people lockdown ends? They could continue to shelter, but if the rest of the world isn't, anybody they make contact with will put them at higher risk due to decreased practice of social distancing.
I remember that for FB there is a "switch" that ends with "/chr" on the URL and that forces the posts to be displayed in untainted chronological order (newer on top). I haven't used FB for at least 5 years so that may have changed. I remember this well though because I had a bookmark on my FF toolbar with that exact URL so avoid the shitty manipulation of FB.

(I still believe that FB is cancer)(only came to read for Silent Bob!!!)
Considering mortality is 6x normal, that is a sane default under lack of resources for testing considering at least 80% probability.
Yeah, iPod competitors vs the largest mobile OS in the worls is not the same comparison.

You are clearly a fan boy, no point engaging with logic here. You will clearly see when Apple numbers will go down this year. Not even your messiah Tim Cook of the House of Supply Chain can prevent that.
Do they talk at all about what they're using to provide the VPC overlay? I have a DO k8s cluster and it uses Cilium for the CNI, which turns out to be quite useful, so I guess I'm wondering if they're also using Cilium for this.

(Over in AWS land, they wrote a CNI for their own VPC networking. It turns out to have many strange limitations. For example, you can only run 17 pods on a certain type of node, because that node is only allowed to have 19 VPC addresses. I was quite surprised when pods stopped scheduling even though CPU and memory were available. Turns out internal IP addresses are a resource, too. DigitalOcean has the advantage of starting fresh, so might be able to use something open source that can be played with in a dev environment and extended with open source projects.)
It is called some other terms depending on country, so it can be non-trivial to grok when you first encounter it.

Is any of this worse than the rate of racism in society in general? How does this make it impossible that he reformed in the Navy?

30% of women and 17% of men in the US military are black. If there was rampant racism, I think we'd see a lot more trouble than the sources you've listed.
Mistaken identity doesn't come into play here. It's copyright that got the videos removed, not publicity rights.

Thank you! Not sure why this is so difficult for people to understand.

This is what India is trying to achieve. Delay the spread (flatten the curve), ramp up health care facilities (doctors, beds and medicine), identify hot-spots and trace ruthlessly and finally hope that some medicine/vaccine would be quickly invented (the whole world is working on it).
I guess the answer, as usual on these things, is no.
Maybe if people had to actually raise them, people would stop having so many kids.
> It's a constant stream of interruptions that force me to please the TS compiler, compared to having a rare type issue a once in a while in plain JS.

Uh, lol. It sounds like you have zero clue what you’re doing.

In fact, your entire comment proves you have zero knowledge about anything contained within your comment.
Thanks for missing the point, uh. Explain exactly which of Torvalds actions that together created $150 billion of value. How many billions was uploading the Linux kernel to ftp in 1991 worth? How many billions was created when git was launched?
Thanks for your response, I'm glad to hear things are going well. Judging by your response, your son seems to be (relatively) young--do you have any plans to reintroduce him into the schooling system during his high school years, e.g. for college preparation?

Also, where I live, driving around to all those activities would add up to a lot of time. I assume you live in a more urban area where those things are in close proximity/within walking distance?

For what it is worth, errors are being hammered out. The first few times I received "unspecified error" then tried it again one day and it worked like a charm.
And for exactly these reasons I absolutely LOVE this project. Big Go user. Finding this today was a pure gift. Thank you very much for making these excellent design choices and for building this! I hope to contribute in the future.
I'm willing to believe, but every proof on that page I read came down to basically, it might as well be 1, so it is 1. The way i see it, it comes down to accuracy like any of our measurements and falls under rounding error. There's no way we can ever actually measure the infinite amount of space between .999... and 1 so effectively they're the same. As far as math and anything practical and even theoretical is concerned, they're the same, but...conceptually in my brain it just feels that little bit smaller. I know I'm wrong for all intents and purposes, but I dunno, that.
I don't think it's a myth so much as it really doesn't reflect the broad range of both possible and actual home schooling scenarios.

When home schooling is used as one aspect of minimizing broader social contact for your children, it can be an issue. But it's not the home schooling per se that is the problem, but the attempt to narrow their world. And I agree it's totally unfair to paint every home schooled child with that particular brush.

But they do exist, and where they exist, most would highly benefit from traditional schools if for no other reason than it breaks the bubble a bit.

Having know a bunch of people who were home schooled in various ways I think your claim of clear superiority of preparation for adult life is also a bit too strong. On the whole I'd say it's a bit of a wash.
It took about a one paragraph explanation to not only realize this is how I already do things in my head, but to suddenly become much better at it because I can now slow down and conceptualize the whole process when necessary.
It's almost never, ever rank and file. Like, never.
I think high schoolers (so 9th grade onward) could be fairly independent. For sure seniors.
Yeah, the paper did not claim that the MDC was in any sense "stripped off messages". They instead claimed that the mail clients ignored the MDC error.

>I note that you didn't respond to the rest of my comment.

The TLS stuff? We are just quibbling here. You have an irrational hate of things called PGP. Nothing I can say is going to change that.

Added: You are the one that brought up the MDC stuff but that really is beside the point. The problem here is with the leakage that HTML emails allow. EFAIL would still have nothing to do with PGP even if MDC did not exist.
If that's one of the primary purposes of school, then schools should have four hours of recess per day, because recess is where you learn all of those skills (except presenting in front of an audience). Most of the rest of the time, you're sitting still in a classroom listening to a teacher, not interacting with your peers.
> Most grocery stores still don't have online ordering. Years, and years, and years, after Amazon entered the field, the other grocers have just decided to lie down and die.

Everyone but Trader Joe’s delivers where I love (SF). I don’t think this is true.

> I'm trying to think of any industry Amazon took out when even tried to fight back. Most just whined their way into oblivion.

Remember the Fire Phone? Amazon doesn’t always hit home runs, they have a ton of money so they can afford to fail fast and reinvest elsewhere.
I mean you are taking a risk here. But even then some of us don't have the option here.
