> Cancelling Pound would be no great loss for humanity.

It would be a loss, and not just because his poetry would be lost. The point is elaborated in a good, recent article on the attempt to cancel Pound in 1946: https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2019/02/27/auden-on-no-platfor....

Yeahh

Imagine that

Imagine a world where people buy things on a website let's name it Amazon

Or pay for online auctions using something very sketchy, something like a PayPal

Imagine paying online for cabs, food delivery, books or to rent a movie or a BnB on the other side of the World, to buy a flight, theater, museum ticket

Hm, interesting ok, I will look into that. I didn't think of using takeout. Thank you.

The only option I found before was to allow some random third party application access to all my files which was not an option.
No private companies hustling polygraph consultants and gear in communist Soviet Union.
Maybe that is why these kinds of projects are picked up by private companies ? I believe currently in the USA a pursuit of profit is allows you make far less mistakes than a pursuit of public good. Sometimes the two overlap but when they dont we frequently see the former being allowed far more mistakes.
Not the parent, but my homebrew backup script first makes the backup and then attempts to restore a canary file. If that fails it raises the alarm.

It's not perfect. I can imagine a scenario where the canary is restorable, but some other important files aren't. However it certainly protects against cases where a bug in the backup software makes a completely unreadable snapshot (which has happened to me before).
> There's an old joke that has two economists coming across a $20 bill on the sidewalk, which goes:

> The young economist looks down and sees a $20 bill on the street and says, "Hey, look a twenty-dollar bill!"

Often it doesn't take much for someone who knows a suspect to recognize them from a few blurry frames of video or a drawing.

I am constantly surprised by how extremely bad surveillance cameras are and also how they still sometimes make it obvious who was or wasn't at the scene because of minor (and slmetimes not so minor) details in clothing, shoes, face or gait.

You can usually pick out fake reviews by the language. No human I've ever met would write about an 'excellent product' - that's the language of a marketeer.

Also 5 star reviews can be honest and useful; examine the text for credibility then look at other reviews by the same person. If they're all 5 star then you most likely have a stinker, but some measured criticism and other, lower starred reviews may show validity.
Why would you have to import money? You can have your own currency within the city. You only need external money for external goods and services.

The premise of UBI is that it creates a more productive society. If there is no possibility to be self-sustained, why implement it? However, if there is the possibility, then funding is possible because you can sell future surpluses for external current currencies and get the city going.

As far as I know, there have been ancient UBI societies, like Persia and Egypt where everybody received free grain.

Don't forget that luxury is the tool of kings to show their power. On one hand, kings live in luxury, but they still keep working. On the other hand, not working stops being a status symbol and a luxury if common people do it by default in a UBI society.

UBI is like heat pumps: you don't use the energy of the wall socket to create heat or cold, but you use it to move energy from one area to another. That way, you create a net surplus. With UBI, people stop worrying. All that mental energy is used to create value. The insight needed for a UBI city is the ability to tax it.
I reviewed Slate for one of my clients' private APIs. We ended up using Postman's API docs instead. The logic that brought us to that point were:

1. The ability to generate/sync documentation from a Postman collection meant we could write our test suite and documentation in one step.

2. Since we were already paying for a team account, adding Postman documentation was practically free.

3. Environment variables. We could write our test suite with one set internally and then publish our API docs with another set.

As someone else pointed out, it's possible to generate Slate documentation from an OpenAPI spec, but to me Slate on its own leaves a lot to be desired.
I think you are missing something very obvious which cannot be captured by a technical analysis of calories per acre.

Who on earth is eating broccoli for the calories? Assuming 34 calories per 100g that would mean I would have to eat 6kg of broccoli every day to reach 2000 calories. I'm not going to exclusively eat broccoli.

Let's go with a slightly more realistic scenario: I have an absurd love for broccoli and eat 50% corn and 50% broccoli (weighted by calories). 15 million calories50% + 2 million calories50% = 8.5 million calories per acre.

As soon as someone gets less than 50% of their calories from broccoli the Pork starts to look very inefficient.
A low impact, reliable virtual machine with a fixed spec. Sounds like a Silverlight killer. Maybe I should do all web programming in that thing instead of React or whatever is the fancy of the day.

>> And I think it demonstrates that market based systems that are "free markets" can be quite effective,

I am not sure what you are trying to say here, everyone knows Free markets result in the best economic outcomes, that was my point. The argument I was countering was the Free markets are bad and socialism is good which history has proven wrong time and time again the only counter that socialist have is "those were not real socialism"

Any society more than a couple hundred people in size will fail miserably under a socialist economic model. Only Free markets provide for the best outcomes for the most people.

That is not to say there is no issue with capitalism in general, Crony Capitalism which is what you have with Heavily regulated markets like we see in the US is a real problem and is largely the cause of Wealth Disparity in capitalist systems,

I am further confused by your statement the Free Markets are better than "remove regulation at all costs" approach

Truly free markets have no regulation, so I am not sure what point you are driving at.
Lots of neural-network approaches for this which work quite well but are also likely to learn priors from the data which can introduce tricky issues for police work.

There are however approaches which aren't based on machine learning at all, for example https://www.di.ens.fr/~mallat/papiers/whitepaper.pdf
Why do you avoid my answering my question?

> What argument would logically allow an opposite sex marriage of a man and a woman who aren't clearly related to each other but exclude brothers or sisters from marrying each other?

I can't think of one, which is why I never claimed there are good reasons to not allow such type of marriages, unlike you. I said multiple times that I'm completely fine with all types of marriages and relationships that don't exploit or harm people.

> Can't think of a reason to ban incestuous marriages? Then the slippery slope starts from opposite sex marriage, not from same sex marriage.

Yes, which is why I'd allow such type marriages. You however claimed there are good reasons that the slippery slope either stops after same-sex marriage or doesn't even start in the first place. So would you just answer my question and give me one of those good reasons, why for example sibling marriages are bad and normal same sex marriages are fine?
My understanding is polygraphs are used as a tool to have people trip over themselves by using it as a prop when the administrator thinks they have something to catch them on.

Now that makes me wonder, if they don’t use fMRI is it because it’s also just a prop but with more studies behind it?
I can't think of a mechanism where you can lose the customer's database records but can still recover files associated with that customer ...
> Biggest and best piece of advice: take work email off your phone.

Sometimes it is handy to have email. Unless you are in a huge corporation with 24/7 coverage by other employees there will come a time when something urgent needs your attention.

I just disable push on my work account. I actually disable push and notifications on everything. The only way things get pushed to me are txt and calls, everything else requires an act by me wanting to look at something.

I hate notifications and disturbances so if you _really_ need me you gotta go the old fashioned route and call/txt. And if you do need me I likely need to see something in email or slack or whatever to help provide context/details. Often times that is enough to let me continue about my business vs having to go back home and get on the computer (which hasnt happened in years thankfully)
Yes, unfortunately. The governments of the following countries, among others, rely on polygraphy to varying extents: Canada, UK, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, and China.
You are right, dollar is still better for facilitating most illegal behavior. I like the dollar.

I’ll tell you what would convince me bitcoin is bad: discovery of a bug that allows double spending retrospectively and someone corrupts the entire ledger to date. China taking over and re-educating me it’s bad. God addending the Old Testament or the Koran that it’s bad.
> Daily HyperBackup to Google Drive

Is that really backup or a sync? If you have a bitrot (or a ransomware attack encrypts it) in an important file on your disk, and you don't notice it for a week and that file gets sent to Google Drive, will you still be able to restore the original version?

"sauce"? Like in tomato sauce? What's going on here?
If after a decade of reading about $500 houses in Detroit people haven't figured out what "cost of compliance" means then they probably never will at this point.

When you read the words "$<small_number> house" the words you should read in your mind are "dilapidated building in a municipality with crazy back-tax scheme that would make the California RMV proud and probably also regulatory capture by relevant trade(s) that inflates the cost of repairing the building"

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

You wanna know how much a house costs look at the average income of the working households in the neighborhood. What they can afford is about what it costs.

> No human has the ability to synthesize vitamin C in their own bodies, leading to scurvy, unless you supplement vitamin C in your diet. This is a disease that would be eliminated

We could fall in the opposite situation easily, excess of vitamin C (from our body plus the same amount as before in the diet), leading to a scenery of nausea, vomit, headache and diarrhea, maybe permanent.
> Most Amazon users have to be feeling the same way at this point

I wish that were true, but I'm afraid the vast bulk of consumers are still astonishingly unaware. People who discuss Amazon on HN are a tiny drop in a very large ocean.

I'm not sure this is a great comparison.

The risk of doing or not doing is death. I'm not sure this is the best analogy.

I'd guess that polygraph tests need belief into them working, thus making it work. Polygraphs should be able to (at least) measure nervousness correctly (e.g. due to transpiration), so if you believe polygraphs may work you're probably someone on which they will work (1).

In other words, long proven nonsense as long as you don't believe in it.

Heck, there are a lot of properties in Germany (where there are actually jobs) that would require less than €200k.

People here say these are remote but that is really mostly just how "spoiled" (in quotes because I'm "spoiled" that way too!) Germans are with commute. You can be 1 hour drive away (including traffic) from many fairly central places in Berlin & have very cheap housing outside the city (partially this is because traffic is actually not that bad in Berlin & partially because it's in the middle of an otherwise fairly empty & large plain[0]).

In comparison nowhere within reasonable 1 hour drive from central London is cheap, nor from SF/LA/NYC or heck even Tel Aviv.

The bus itself doesn't affect reliability obviously, but the storage chips they use on modern phones are much nicer and more expensive better parts :)
The cloud is just another backup option and you should have 3. That being said, you expect more from a paid service.
This is what happens when you rely on junk pseudo-science as a screening mechanism
Amazon should provide a straightforward way for you to report that, and after confirming it, should ban the seller from their platform.

They don't? OK, that tells us something.
I'm even lazier than you, so I won't watch it and just guess: I suspect that the purchase is contingent on you committing funds to restoration that honour history (if appropriate) or code. e.g., you can't buy a ruined castle, make it remotely liveable and camp there; you'd need to deal with local council, sewage, plumbing, running electricity, etc. Where a certain technique of centuries-old stonework was used, you'd need to find the lone expert accredited in renovating and securing walls, etc.

There are hundreds of amazing ruins around Australia that the land owners can't justify renovating because the costs to do it justice are too much. Huge shame.
The Anthropocene Reviewed https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/anthropocene-reviewed
What's more, it's important to take in the context of the data. It's not mental health, or HIV status, or sexual history, or really of any nature that can do damage other than the privacy aspect. It's people who hurt their neck after a car accident. Not the most sensitive stuff in the world.

Just to be explicit about it, I'm not suggesting the release of this data isn't a problem. Just that as medical data goes this is about an innocuous as it could have been. Even day-to-day visits to your primary care doc would probably have references to much more sensitive health data.
It is not shadowbanned, you can still reach the thread from 'new'. Also you have no evidence that the mods are involved.
"Minus youtube which I use a mirror"

?
One of the advantages of having another independent backup is that, if you need it, you not only have a backup somewhere other than a specific cloud provider but you also have a backup that's being made via a completely different mechanism.

But I know that, careful as I am, I still feel vulnerable if, for example, I lose my main data disk.
If we sign an agreement where in exchange for my services you have to give me your first daughter, you can break the contract and refuse to pay, even if you signed it, because it's illegal.

"sauce" is common internet slang for "source"
I have bad experiences encrypting backup drives. If they corrupt a little the data might be gone. You also have the problem of keeping track of the key for years.
Exactly. It's just an interrogation technique but you need one less body on the payroll because you don't need a "good cop".

Pretty much every manipulation technique used in negotiation, sales and interrogation is useless if the person it's being applied to realizes it. Polygraphs are about the lowest quality because the machine is right f-ing there for the world to see whereas with other techniques there's at least a non-zero chance that the person using them is being earnest and it's not just a technique.
You can sell access to the update mechanism, repo, and domain name (and any trademarks you have registered), and any rights to relicense the software you have (not necessarily those of other contributers). For most intents and purposes this is selling the project. You can't rescind an open-source license retroactively, so the value of trying to buy such a project and turn it into a system with a proprietary license is probably low. Most users (and especially contributers) of open-source projects would see such an action as a breach of trust, so such an action is likely to result in a hostile fork even if the new 'owner' does not do anything actively malicious.
No, they would just break your fingers or <insert torture> until you admitted to basically anything just to make them stop. They didin't need a polygraph for that, just a hammer, a drawer or a door.
Maybe rewrite that as "if you wanted a quiet house in the countryside and spoke Italian already, had experience managing a challenging renovation in a foreign country, and hundreds of thousands of dollars spare to put towards the required renovations, maybe it could work for you."
Per the article:

>It is to be noted that around the time Ma applied for employment with the FBI, the Bureau had a roughly 50% polygraph failure rate for special agent applicants, with many honest persons being wrongly branded as liars and barred for life from FBI employment

So either 50% of FBI Applicants were actually foreign agents AND believed in polygraphs (why would they if they were trained foreign agents?) OR it's just total bullshit. I think the "it works if you believe in it and some people do" myth is just that...

It's a very attractive idea that we can tell (even partially) whether someone is lying. We actually might be able to with an fMRI setup I think. But polygraphs should be long gone as rubbish. I have no idea why anyone in the USA takes them seriously.
You'll never know with certainty, but you can certainly know more than you do now. But you won't if you don't pursue the truth, and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. As I said in another post, maybe it's possible to sequence DNA of the emperor or a collection of contemporary subjects, determine an approximate ethnic makeup, and revise the images based on that.

Or, we can just assume we are already correct because we'll never know anyway.
I use Duplicati to manage the offsite backups, it comes with a command line tool which can pull random chunks from the storage bucket, decrypt them, and check the file hashs against expected values

The famous Fort Pinto story comes to mind. The car with the fuel thank in a bad spot, making the car a 'fire trap'.

I've honestly never heard anyone say that. Since Spring 5 it's pretty clear there's some interest in server-side Kotlin; there are several heavy-weights behind that.

However, it's fair to make a distinction between the slowly evolving Android runtime and the JVM. Java language features are catching up with Kotlin, and might even surpass it (I believe pattern matching might land in Java sooner than in Kotlin). Also Kotlin might get stuck for a while when big breaking changes finally come to Java (like Valhalla). I understand why some companies/teams think it's not worth it.
Because other companies are worse and do all sorts of other shit.
Minority founders: ‘We are over-mentored and under-funded’
There's some listing of the expenses being done at https://youtu.be/nP2vtDLTAgM?t=412

Listing $1
Taxes $400
Deposit $5,600
Renovations $60,000
Flights $10,000

Earlier they talk about taxes + fees totalling about $3,000. A few seconds after listing the expenses they cite a Forbes article, where one residents expects to spend $124,000 to renovate their place.

They talk about some of these homes requiring at least $17,000 of renovations to be done.

The houses are sometimes auctioned off, starting at $1, but they may be sold for more than $20,000.

The deposit is refundable if you start renovating within a year after buying the house.
