Taking a political stance that the existing law is bad is not only not illegal, but it is one of the few things that is very explicitly legal. Doing so does not put you on the wrong side of the law. This includes when your political actions involve making statements in support of, defending and funding the legal defense of those who have broken the law.
They are still tightly coupled.

You have some fundamental misunderstandings in how bitcoin and bitcoin mining work. I'd suggest reading up on one of the links a sibling comment posted.
As I see it, democracy is unstable. I like living in a democratic system (yes, a democratically elected republic is still a democratic system). But we have to recognize that it is unstable and democracies work under the pretense that the keys to power are distributed and frequently moving hands (by elective processes). So the danger to democracy is the collection of keys, or the consolidation of power. Power consolidation DOES have benefits after all. I mean a benevolent dictator is probably the best form of government, the issue is that if the next dictator isn't benevolent (or how long until that). The same is with democracy. We keep power distributed so that when a malevolent (or even just non-benevolent) ruler comes into power they aren't able to do much. Essentially as long as we don't let corruption fill the majority of roles with power, we're fine. They have to spend a lot of time and resources consolidating that power.

Essentially this is what "turnkey tyranny" is: the point at which power is consolidated to such a degree that a malevolent ruler would have the power of a tyrant.

So it has never been about having something to hide or that people aren't using a power malevolently. It is the potential for abuse and that given enough time a power is likely to be abused. Distribution makes it more difficult (but does not eliminate) to abuse power.

With HN's love for federated systems, which essentially operate under similar principles, I'm surprised this is not a more popular concept. The only difference is that we're talking about government officials instead of Moxie.
haha yeah, I did not expect this so I hadn't paid $5 for more workers. Should work now :)
It's not clear that push notifications have to be centralised. The OS could coalesce requests for notifications while still querying multiple sources, thus minimizing the time that radios have to be powered on.
Crimes committed by civilians are not the same as crimes committed by agents of the state.

Also plenty of crime databases already exist so I can only assume you aren't actually asking a question but instead making a snide comment.
Wouldn't the solution be to allow people who have legitimately unlocked their boot loader to also install a custom attestation root so that safety net can still say “the software running on this phone is the software the user intended and not a malicious 3rd party”? Or maybe safety net is not so much about user safety as it is about platform lockdown and vendor safety.

The number of times I’ve been laughed out of a product meeting because I’ve advocated for making decisions that don’t require the apps I’ve worked on to be run on google play services systems... it makes me wonder what is actually important in our industry. It’s certainly not the user privacy, freedom, and advocacy that everyone seems to be milking these days... sad times.
Why would someone not trusting Google, place their trust in Xiaomi, a Chinese company?
Ours JIRA instance took multiple seconds to load modals. Think 5+ seconds. It was miserable.

I would have gladly paid more for faster speed but it turned out the APIs were blazing fast and it was the JS that was slow. Not sure how we have had such different experiences. Seems impossible that your JS was executed that much faster than mine. I was using chrome FWIW.
Yeah it's not ideal, but it lets me sync with Firefox at least. I really only ever use my phone browser for a few things, anyways.

Neither situation is perfect, but the browser's rendering engine is surpassed by other priorities when choosing a phone.

I do look forward to the day I can use something like Pine as a daily phone though
Play Services infuriate me. I have no idea what app is triggering what kind of actions via Play because all of those actions are done by Play on behalf of the app and Play is not showing it to me in enough details
At least in my city, for the protests I attended, this is about the right level of context. The ordering went

1) Peaceful protest

2) Police decide that they need to use extreme amounts of force to break up the peaceful protest

3) Unsavory elements use the cover of the ensuing chaos to loot/burn/tag/etc.
Since he ask for a language why do you limit the choice to python or js? I personally would recommend Java's Jsoup.
> Why do many long distance snipers not adjust for the curvature of the earth?

Where does one find these people?

I have never met a sniper who didn't adjust for not just curvature of the earth, but also rotation of the earth with respect to the direction of the shot.

I struggle to imagine someone being a successful sniper without working these into their targeting in some way.
Yes, judging from a quick look at the code (and not being familiar with the GiNaC library used) this seems to square the wave function instead of squaring the absolute value.

Exactly and note "The A2I core is compliant to Power ISA 2.06 and will need updates to be compliant with either version 3.0c or 3.1. Power ISA 3.0c and 3.1 are the two Power ISA versions contributed to OpenPOWER Foundation by IBM."

Who is going to do that and how without the verification infrastructure? (Verification is about the test infrastructure, not the Verilog simulator which is a commodity). The _real_ value is in the verification infrastructure.
That display type can be made bright enough to be outdoor visible while still keeping power consumption on sane levels.

The biggest problem of all waveguide systems is that they are freaking inefficient, with optics consuming 50-90%+ of all light.

And it is the same problem with pretty much all complex optical systems in AR/VR glasses.

This is why I am a proponent of using mirror optics in this application.
How do you go about challenging a corrupt and unjust law, then?
I managed to get VS Code (as code-server) running natively and dotnet running on my Android tablet. It makes it a nice little development machine.

Basically anything Android native is horrible for developers; you can't even get a decent IDE or text editor. You still don't have source control, web servers, programming languages, etc. Termux with a few addons gives you all that.

I wish Google would recognize the value of a real Linux/Unix environment the way that both Apple and Microsoft have in recent years.
If you don't want to pay, you can always spin up our entire system on your own server. One way is to use Matrix-Docker-Ansible https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy It is finnicky though. If you promise to give me good feedback and bug reports, sign up for the beta and I will waive the fee though!
The cross dressing claims are pervasive but not very substantiated. So we can all believe what we want.

I was just trying to be witty when telling a story. Not make any grand statement about anything.
It's not like the switch to scoped storage would mitigate much of it. You can still do all kinds of nasty things when you, for example, have access to the photo library part of the MediaStore content provider. Like adding your tracking ID to the metadata of a picture that other app would then look for. Or, you could just create a "photo" and write your arbitrary data in place of the file contents. Users won't ever notice there's a broken image at the end of their camera roll.

Will this change make it look more suspicious when apps request access to photos instead of storage? Yes, sure. Will most users care about it and deny access to apps that aren't supposed to have it? Of course not.
We started using Linear a couple weeks ago and overall we're very happy.

There is no doubt that @tyre's points about a "reset" being part of the reason folks like new issue trackers.

But setting aside the "reset" we got (our backlog from other tools wasn't _that_ big), we really enjoyed the speed and accessibility (ex: desktop app, keyboard shortcuts, etc).

I recommend folks give it a try.

My only feedback to the Linear team is: I get notifications for the desktop app to upgrade too often. I love rapid iteration, but it feels like it's daily.

Because I get it so often, it's caused me to start to not pay attention to the "red dot", which my brain has convinced itself is "update ready" and not "unread items in inbox", which it really is.

Hopefully you can find a happy balance or some other UX tricks to help me out here. Thanks!
I checked my local city, some of the incidents are true, others lack evidence, others seem to lack a brutality component all together (such as firing a pepper all at the ground in front of someone breaking the law.

No doubt we have a problem, this is a great start to a collection, but we may want to consider filtering for truth or at least incidents with credible evidence
At a first glance, there seems to be something wonky with the quantum numbers: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/qunoh.html
We have proof of work to rate-limit spam (of both content and signals), and there would be no reason for anyone to spam the network (for votes - for other things there are plenty of reasons) because anyone can get exactly the moderation they want by picking out their mods. Elections cannot override local selections — they exist as 'recommendations' to the local user, in the case the user has not made a selection.

That said, there is still quite a bit of power in controlling the view of those who can't be bothered to make a decision, so we make it so that an election vote only counts after the user actually first posted in that community 2 weeks ago. So if there's a flood of new votes, the mods can temporarily suspend voting process.

Lastly, the elections are not mandatory for all communities, so if a community is created as a 'monarchy', for the lack of a better word, the elections are not applied by default. This makes it so that there is no incentive for mods to keep 'temporary suspension due to vote flood' state indefinitely, since they can just switch to monarchy if they want to do that.

Mind that in that case, the user can still make choices, or even enable elections - the only thing that would change is that the default user would not get election results applied to the default mods. But if that user wants, it can still enable elections and vote, and by enabling that it would get the election results applied — but due to his or her own explicit choice, not by default.
I am merely making the analogy to such lawyers, not attempting to call them criminals. Sorry if I came off as doing otherwise.

That said, while not in this case (I think), copyright infringement is in many for profit contexts criminal under the laws of the United States.
I'm in the opposite situation, personally. Irregardless, the point I meant to convey is that I'm able to talk myself into both the original claim and its converse, so it's probably better to actually point to a statistical study than try to provide a causal explanation, no matter how compelling.
Sure but the company (now Named Chiquita) continues to do things that are illegal. For example: “ In March 2007 Chiquita Brands pleaded guilty in a United States Federal court to aiding and abetting a terrorist organization”

Also arms smuggling, anti-union activity (violence) etc.
I thought the same then I thought that maybe they should show instructions to create a user that only has the bare needed access. After you run, you revoke. I could see myself using something akin to this when tearing down old stuff.
Yep. Also that the grooves in the hologram don't screw up the light that passes in through the front. For instance you might get "lens flare" effects which could get obnoxious.

It is a lot of details to work out, which is why current AR headsets are still at the bridesmaid and not the bride phase.

the carceral mindset in our society is the root of a lot of really stupid, kafkaesque evil done in the name of the public but benefiting no one (except for-profit prisons!).
I guess I wasn't clear. What I meant to ask was, how is Uber a better option after they go out of business because their business model is fundamentally unsustainable? If the TNC model eventually reaches some steady state, the cost per mile will be significantly higher than the prices that Uber customers are currently accustomed to. That is not a viable solution for everyone.
> Because often the way these things escalate is police are called because protesters are burning and looting

I'm sure that might be the case sometimes, but from the multitude of videos I've seen over the past month or so, it's the police that are doing the escalating - preventing people from their lawful right to protest peacefully, storming into peaceful park protests and dragging people out at random, indiscriminately spraying groups of protestors with pepper spray, shooting numerous people in the chest and face with rubber bullets and lead bean-bags (which should only ever be used at legs), shooting people in the head at point-blank range with flash-bang grenades, firing at several journalists and bystanders, drive-by shootings of bystanders and houses, harassing laywers and others that have called them out, a lot of police obscuring their badge numbers and disabling their bodycams ...

Seriously, the sheer quantity of video evidence is absolutely astounding - and it can only be the tip of the iceberg.
Especially with pollution, however there are also social implications that can change your mortality rates. for example a low stress job in NYC could have great social payoff as you are surrounded in a world with anything and everything. Want to play ping pong with random people? Do it! Vermont is extremely isolating unless you are in Burlington or such.
Leaking a single private key does not leak all the private keys. You would still need the chain code used to derive all private keys, no?

By spending the time to acquire and consume a copy of the content you have proven that your willingness to pay is above "$0".

Granted, perhaps not _much_ above 0. But still evidently above 0.

edit: Even if your "consumption" is merely acquiring and storing (or even acquiring and immediately discarding)
I assume I have aphantasia, since I've never been able to "visualize" in the way that other people seem to be able to.

It seems to be strictly limited to visual imagery however. I remember lyrics / poems / quotes better than most people I know and I do pretty well on those wine-training smell tests. I can easily hear music in my head.

I've never really thought of it as a disadvantage, I assumed that I just had a different kind of imagination.
Think of sales tax. You have the option of paying it or not buying things; it's not optional.
We both know that's not going to happen. Just looks at the comments here; every comment that doesn't show unquestioning support is either flagged or grayed out. Police should be be held accountable, but this is just outrage bait.
I suspect there's a fundamental reason the backstop is opaque. Keep in mind, to scale the size down, they may have had to cram some stuff directly behind the lenses.

I suspect they've tried to augment the device for AR already since many of the forward looking trends focus on AR.
Been using this client for a few months and am pretty happy with it.

Have looked for a replacement for Adium for quite a while and Nova Chat is looking like it will be it. So much relief from not having to juggle multiple desktop chat clients and mobile notifications.

Looking forward to the upcoming features! App is getting some nice updates every few weeks.
There is definitely an up tick, it's now cool to beat up white boys, regardless if they are part of the right wing fanatics.

I was so appalled to hear a girl tell a guy how cool he was for physically harming another person, despite the dude deserving it.

Parent post to yours may have been antagonization, however there is a frustration that much of the conversation is narrow and one sided. There are no easy answers or solutions for this problem, and so it becomes frustrating to people when they are shut down for trying to bring in the larger context. The fact that people who do this are instantly called racists makes it harder for us all.
I think because with a modern water heater especially electric models the heat loss is so low convection often stops completely. So the water in the tank doesn't mix. I think you can get situations too where the water at the level of the heating elements gets hotter and hotter and the water away from it gets cold. My water heater strongly suggests adding a mixing valve for that reason.
How to Get Interview at Google
I look forward to everything North ever was or did being chucked down the memory hole in 3-10 years, as is tradition
I don't think anyone is going to just throw keys in this willy nilly. Perhaps put up some instructions on how to make a one off user with the bare needed access that can be revoked after or something. Still a stretch tho.
Well, in the west, you’ll get Epsteined before you can do any real damage.

And then the media attention is turned off, or turns a blind eye, and the world just moves on.

So still, pick your poison.
All the extra plugins etc. that people bolt in to get those extra features really slow it down too.
That seems like a nation-level body? It seems unlikely we'd ever have something like that hiring judges for city-level posts in USA. Also JAC seems to recommend candidates after which action another (seemingly politically-appointed) entity decides whether they'll go on the ballot? I might be misreading?

I certainly hope we can improve our "judicial" system in USA, to make it more just, less tyrannical, less capricious, less totalitarian, less active, etc. Sometimes I wonder whether that's possible for a society that's happy to spend $750B/yr on killing machines and in fact has killed millions of innocents overseas over the last several decades. As Thucydides wrote, the tyranny that the Athenian empire imposed on others it eventually imposed on itself.
> Google maps detects copied addresses and lets you route to them in one click.

Routing to copied addresses is not a clear use case for letting something spy on everything the user copies, because we already have an invocation for handing clipboard contents to software exactly when the user desires it. It's called the "paste" command.

At some point engineers need to stop doing things just because they can.
Okay, fair enough. I'm not a paying customer so I have nothing further to say.
python, by far
Yes, exactly: there would seem to be factors that both increase and decrease the risk of both activities, so the relative danger of each one is an empirical question, not something which can be deduced from first principles.

Note you can "paint" black by putting an LCD at a focal plane, then you can black out a light source that is in focus.

Of course you need a lot of space to route incoming light through that focal plane and then to your eyes.
My mental method is not quite FOIL, for what it's worth. I distribute over one of the numbers -- so 47 * 68 = 47 * 60 + 47 * 8, and then compute the compute those (2400 + 420 = 2820). Then I grab additional terms: 2820 + 40 * 8 = 3140. 3140 + 7 * 8 = 3196

Among other things this scales better to larger numbers. I use it because it's more 'linear' -- I only need to remember one accumulated number at a time.
What I wish is that companies had people specialized in handling issue tracking systems. Expecting developers to do this is absurdo, a lot of the work is just making sure that the ticket is not a duplicate, and similar issues.
Is the opposite not true on every single police report? Only one sided and often that one sided report is shown to be completely unreliable once cell phone video is provided by witnesses. The police report for Breonna Taylor listed no injuries.

Google will display pages of results of police lying about what occurred during violent arrests only to be proven wrong by cell phone footage.

Your comment appears as if you may be 'politically motivated to exaggerate'.
It’s still in development, but keep an eye on Athens (https://github.com/athensresearch/athens), an open-source self-hosted web app. The project’s plan is to have a usable MVP on August 1. (Disclaimer: I’m a contributor.)

Athens will allow importing of Roam databases and will support many of Roam’s features, such as blocks, pages, backlinks, and Roam markup syntax. Unlike Roam, Athens stores your database of notes on your local computer, since it is a self-hosted web app.
I don't use or like tiktok, but that post also came across as super fishy to me. Lots of it boiled down to "I'm a software engineer, trust me" with a good amount of FUD thrown in (going on about GPS data when the app doesn't even request the Location permission? complaining the app can see your screen resolution?). I'm sure the truth is somewhere in between but tiktok is the beating-horse of the day so you'll see all sorts of cool stuff like mainstream media using an anonymous reddit post as a source.
>After that, we will all be able to check for ourselves whether Pocket is spyware.

Who watches the watchers? How do you know what's running on the servers?
Yeah, his "Inefficient, but Smart" argument doesn't seem smart, it seems painstakingly luck-based.

In the US, we used to call this "knowing a guy" or "fallen off a truck" purchasing. It's highly inefficient, super unpredictable (in both cost, delivery time, quality, etc), and is highly inequitable. (What if you don't know a guy? What if your guy doesn't like you?). Your Craigslist description is a perfect example of this from the buyers side too -- sometimes you find a great deal, but sometimes the seller is crazy and threatens you with physical violence, or raises the prices after you already agreed and arranged to pick it up, or sometimes they sell you something with bedbugs in it.

This style of purchasing "works" if you are a wealthy expat with tons of time to play with (as a StrongTowns blogger living in Ecuador would be). But it sure doesn't seem "Smart" in any way.
My bank doesn't require transaction fees until the value hits 10k€, after which it's 5€ (1€ fee + 4€ insurance).
This has had little to no real evidence in specifics to SUVs.
Plus it increases the risk on others, which is something one should have to realize.

Pluuus, Larger vehicles suffer from worse handling, worse braking distances and higher accident rates. It's all just dumb.
That's a defensible position, but you then have to accept something like mandatory sentences, which introduce their own set of issues.
I think another analogy can be better.

Imagine I want to fly somewhere, plane is half empty, I am going there and sitting. Don’t have ticket. (Imagining no enforcement)

Should I? Eventually this plane will fly there, my effect on cost is ignorable, I will be better, airline will not be worse.
