> This principle incriminates the protesters just as much.

Yeah but you know, one group _took oath to protect and serve_ and the other didn't.

It's like when Trump say some racist shit VS when your drunk uncle says the same thing, you can't put both sides to the same standards.

Everybody condemn rioters, but for some reasons a lot of people, including the president and many officials, manage to rationalise police brutality and if you don't see that as the obvious main issue you're most likely in the wrong.

> The outcome is easily predicted. Either the protesters take the ethical high ground or they lose.

This is the kind of thoughts I had when I was 15, I don't even know what to reply to that anymore.

The point of a nonce is that it is onetime, and the point of an HMAC / MAC is that an attacker cannot properly utilize the nonce.

Put plainly, nonces are countermeasures specifically for replay attacks and they work.
It's only a UI problem that displays the deleted threads with the deleted annotation. In truth, that sub is better for it. I'm sure everyone wants to share that their grandma doesn't follow the pattern in a paper and everyone wants to enlighten us about correlation and causation and everyone wants to tell us what sample size is reasonable off the top of their heads but it's sooo boring to read that.
Unless you're one of those people with interesting beliefs about George Soros, no one is hiring, training and arming the protesters.

Anyone can become a protester by showing up with a mask and a brick in a sock, while the police force is an actual organisation with rules and plans.

Your comparison is very flawed.
There's a cool python library for machine embroidery called inkstitch, but I love the idea of using a gameboy..

It seems like there could be some interesting ways to teach programming using machine embroidery. So, eg, kids program a pattern, and then get to stitch it onto a hat. Feels like an area with a big pay off right away, but also incredible depth (eg turning an image into a stitched pattern).

People are angry, rightfully so, about the recent heinous police brutality. You certainly can't tell them "hey, you can be angry but maybe next year": as I said, police brutality and systemic injustice at large don't care about the pandemic.

And yes, there's probably going to be profound effects on disease control: but let's not also forget that it is also black community bearing the brunt of the pandemic, because of widespread systemic injustices. Let's not let talking about coronavirus distract from what's behind the anger.

It seems like you don't have a great understanding of what's going on in the USA right now. This isn't virtue signaling, which is usually more about posting on social media or using a hashtag. You might disagree with the actions he's taken, but Ohanian is taking action, not just paying lip service.
Haha yeah my immediate thought after reading the headline was "no way the US government actually did something right". And turns out they didn't.
> Homoiconicity is very very important

Why is homoiconicity "very very important"? Nobody seems able to say.

> You have people around the internet with very little programming experience discussing all day about concepts they hardly understand, because they have not programmed a lot to really grasp it.

The people I quoted were all principal developers of arguably the most successful Lisp derivative in the past few decades. The annual Scheme Workshop is almost entirely Racket these days. I doubt you are in a place to claim that "they have not programmed a lot to really grasp [homoiconicity]". So I'm confused what your point is here.
I fear that will only mitigate the spread, not curb the belief in it, unfortunately. If anything so many conspiracy theories seem massively fueled even today by any attempts to silence.

I fear something along the lines of education and critical thinking is the only way to deal with this problem. I just don't know how to get there :(
The man is married to a black woman and has a biracial child with her who will be seen as black by and large. It is a personal issue to him.

But even if it wasn't a personal issue to him, I'm more disturbed by the number of people who 100% fail to engage with an issue and dismiss it as virtue signalling, as if a person couldn't authentically care about the issue.

Yes, Ohanian is a rich guy, but by stepping away from his role at reddit, it is foregoing likely future income. He is going to spend time working on these issues. Why is that so easy to dismiss?

r/relationship_advice is quite infamous for its extreme stance.
I would say most American citizens are fearful(or at least shy of) of the police, avoid interacting with them if possible and generally have a disdain for how they operate. Not to say they are not recognized as necessary, most just don't like their tactics and their "code" of protecting one another. Basically you never know if you are going to get a good cop or a bad one, so you just avoid them all. Likewise anyone supporting them is seem as possibly supporting their questionable use of force and other bad practices.

I was kind of shocked to find that US law defines it as "any destructive device" and goes on to define that as "having an explosive or incendiary charge of more than one-quarter ounce." Which is 1/26th the explosive in an M67 grenade. 1/4oz is more like a couple of M80s stuck together.

As someone else said, this is presumably so they can charge people with terrorism for using basically any kind of explosive.

Yes, I routinely see left leaning political ads on the front page. I really don't see what good could come from Alexis's resignation. The site is already a left leaning echo chamber and most of the controversial subs are quarantined or outright banned. Any new ones that crop up are routinely removed. The most controversial (the_donald) has been effectively shutdown for months and removed from r/all for years. What more is there to do?

Yeah, sorry, I wasn't clear. I was referring to stuff like this in GP's comment:

> Article about Gaia-X in major German newspaper FAZ explained that on AWS you can spin up your own infrastructure, "sometimes even without talking to anyone from sales", from your home!

I personally love human interactions, but the idea that I'd have to call Joe in sales to spin up a VM for a few hours is ludicrous. Likewise for a lot of routine mundane stuff that is easily automatable. I think the world will be poorer if we move humans out of our daily interactions, but that doesn't mean there isn't a lot to gain by moving the humans to where they can what they do best - namely be human!
The Software Version field should be used to identify the commit when the bug was introduced (perhaps the very first commit that introduced the entire thing in which the bug is found or perhaps a regressing commit). The way it's typically used is not helpful: namely that the user who reports the bug just fills in the version they happen to be running when it happened.

There should be an Introduced-in Version and Fixed-in Version.
I watched a video today of a 75-year old man being shoved by police for something that I can in no way defend. He fell backwards and blood started leaking from his head while he fell unconscious. No officer even attempted to render aid.

I have watched a video of a SWAT team breaking into a man's home and murdering him point-blank because he was holding a golf club for the crime of using naturally occurring plants and chemicals. No charges filed against any officer. Even though trained for combat, apparently their life was in mortal danger.

I have been personally threatened with arrest by police numerous times for the "criminal" offense of not following their exact instruction or being in an angry disposition for extremely minor offenses. If you want me to be peaceful, why are representatives of The State negotiating with me using violence?

Yes. This is evil.
The Duplication Process Hypothesis
Thank you for sharing this. Your step-by-step worked perfectly for me (on Mac), and now I've got the OBS -> Hangouts setup I was looking for.
Our aspirations might be vaunting past what humans are generally capable of. I completely agree with you, but since I see over and over (and over) that only direct relationships engender change, I finally conclude that this is where humanity is at. We can call it a bug if we like, but it doesn't mean we can change it.

It only looks like a bug now because we are insisting on building complex, globalized societal configurations which don't play well with that limitation.
I'm confused. T_D was shut down. The sub was quarantined, then hidden, and finally all the mods were removed and the sub was more-or-less locked.

Steve Bannon has spoken about specifically targeting Gamergate for political recruitment, I think the role of Reddit in radicalizing young men is quite important, actually. I don't think you could write a reasonable history of the last 10 years of US politics without reference to Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and 4Chan.
It's getting pretty exciting now! I can't wait to see what happens next.
There used to be a bunch of sites that could display deleted comments but they all seemed to stop working at some point.
While I'm sure accidents happen, many of those comments are deleted because they are joke comments/shitposts not pertaining to science. In my experience, that kind of content is not tolerated on HN either, probably for the better.
Thank you for this clarification.

But if it has not been increasingly subjective, but harder to detect, then what you are implying, if I do not distord your point of view, is that it is okay to be stricter in policing to catch stop these sophisticated bigots.

But, doesn't being more strict mean that you'll also have more false negatives, that is people that always had "heretic" talk from the point of view of general society, without necessarily being a bigot, but are now being identified as such because the criteria are paint with a broader brush?

And then, wouldn't you agree that this is a restriction of free speech, that people on the other side are arguing to be unacceptable?
> So much of what is happening now lies at your feet.

I just don't know how much of a responsibility reddit has in strong-arming sub-reddits that are communities, whether we like them or not. So I struggle with Ellen's indictment.

It makes it seem like Reddit is a root level cause for where we are at today -- It's not, and is only a symptom. I believe it is unfair to say reddit, and their (somewhat) hands off approach to moderation inside a "community" is somehow the cornerstone to these ills, or that it did something to 'amplify' them

>Ever been to r/science?

Bad example - people frequently go to r/science posts when they hit the front page and toss in non-scientific anecdotal evidence, or they will argue with the post using bad science, or they will offer their non-scientific 2 cents on the politics of a study.

The reason why content-heavy subs r/science and r/AskHistorians haven't devolved into the cesspool that is the rest of Reddit is specifically because they keep everyone on topic. You know, actually moderating the discussion.

I'm not clear why you think this would be so. Hashes (with salts) prevent attackers from being able to derive the password, and can also be used in conjunction with nonces to prevent replay attacks.

"Racism is not getting worse, it's getting filmed." — Will Smith
Q&A: The Pioneers of Web Cryptography on the Future of Authentication
I think you misunderstood his point. He is saying that in his system severity == priority. His article he linked lists out explicitly his buckets.

Within a given severity I think its then a judgement call of a product owner to rack-and-stack the issues in priority order, exactly how it would be done for traditional 'P1' - 'P5' grading.
The same thing that's wrong with conspiracy theories (e.g. Q). Lunatics flock to platforms that let them disseminate their lies.
Why does he have to say that he's married to a black woman. That he has a black child. That he is quitting. That he's hiring a BLACKKK person etc. Just do it man, don't make a wave. Give money and do all those things. How about hiring the best person for the job and not one that brings you the most goodie points right now. And again Reddit is about the least controversial thing on the net. It's ridiculous to paint it as a "hateful" website (whatever that is).
Sounds like you aren't fan of those subreddits but should they be shut down if they are not violating the site rules? The fact is that those subs are heavily moderated. If they weren't they'd be the first to go.
This book is absolutely, by no means, a “bad faith” effort. That accusation is extremely unfair and destructive.
Ahem. No. At the end of the day PAL worked the same way. I know because we had a small black & white TV-Set when i was very little. And been mostly disinterested in it, because playing in the surrounding forests with my friends was more exiting, even for them, who already had colour TV.
A libertarian complaining about a private company choosing not to do business with them? Damn those big corporations and their... checks notes freedom to do business with who they choose?
I must confess I've never really understood the need for "severity" in a task tracking system.

As far as I can see, consumers of tickets need to know what order to do stuff in, and producers and organizers and curators of tickets need to set what order things should be done in. That's "priority" or "urgency".

I do understand in a theoretical sense that "Prod system is down" might not always be the absolute highest priority thing to work on. If a particular issue causes a downtime of 1 second every 10 years, it's still downtime, but might not be the most urgent thing to work on.

But that's a theoretical example. In my 20 years of software development and managing projects, if the Prod system is down, it's an emergency, and that's what you need to be working on. So "Prod is down" is a useful priority/urgency. At least that's been my experience so far...

What am I missing? Are there times when priority and severity are useful as two separate fields?
Not a quantum physicists, but IMO Bekenstein bound is not applicable here, because quantum laws are non-deterministic, therefore you can describe the structure of a system, but you cannot describe how it will evolve. Quantum randomness might be in the very essence of how the brain and mind works.
I am sorry for your struggle with insomnia. I just don't see why this research does harm to you? The whole goal of research in this field is to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms that are responsible for sleep disorders or related to them. In the lonf run, a better understanding of these mechanisms will help the research community to develop methods to treat these disorders in humans.

It is unfortunate that this research has to be done with animals and the scientific community is thankful to the society for understanding the crucial need for it and their support with research grants from their taxes.
I live in the US and used to build products to deal with sensitive healthcare data. I recall talking to an Important Person from the NHS, years ago, who proudly told me that the NHS could do things with its healthcare data that US companies could not- without having to deal with things like HIPAA, etc.

I told them that while they might be able to do that, it would probably make a bunch of people mad if they weren't totally transparent about it.
The site became mainstream while still being extremely vulnerable to manipulation by a very small pool of individuals. They've done next to nothing to address how effective and rampant brigading is (among other tactics).

After seeing things like this (hell, these are some of the tamer videos I've seen in the past week), I'm not sure how anybody can seriously still support the police. Police as a concept is absolutely necessary in a civilized society. But the police that the US has? They're nothing but state-sanctioned terrorists.

Man im fucked. I really have to get a handle on my sleep.
Nice, this highlights a lot of issues I’ve seen with teams and crazy bug systems.

One difference I had from the article is that I actually find marking tickets with priority and types (like bug / enhancement etc) useful, but for a different audience.

When I’m working on planning / strategy, aka in Product Manager mode, I like to be able to review what is still remaining in different buckets and adjust priority and do scenario planning. Maybe it’s worth closing a whole bunch of low priority bugs before moving on. Often the priority changes over time and gets adjusted as we see what came in. Having a place to track that info on the ticket keeps me from moving to doing planning in a spreadsheet.

When I’m in developer mode, I agree - I don’t want to have to think about what the priority of a critical feature improvement is vs a low priority bug. I want to pick off the top of the stack and flow with confidence.

I often am working in both roles on team projects and use this technique even when working alone.

In my experience where things get weird is when the product planning metadata is required to be understood in real-time by all roles on the team. You can keep all that metadata around and still have a single prioritized backlog.

Maybe Jira could be improved by showing different metadata for different modes... but even writing that out sounds like a new configuration nightmare!
Honestly, the number of deleted comments on r/science is probably a good representation for how garbage most comments on reddit are.

The main rule that gets comments deleted: "Comments that only rely on a user's non-professional anecdotal evidence to confirm or refute a study will be removed".

It's just not useful to have those types of comments on a science based thread.

Of course, it's hard to audit the moderators. We don't know if they're deleting comments outside of their rules as well.
We've got a pretty straightforward stance, really.

We don't tolerate intolerance, and mindful consent is a pre-requisite for all things. That's it.

Amazing how much that weeds out. :)
As a 26-year old at Google, this example sounds surprising to me. I'd rule out Amazon, Apple and Netflix, and you'd have to be ~L6 to get $500K at Facebook or Google, which I don't see any of them hiring fresh grads at no matter how good/famous they are, and definitely not remotely.
