Privacy doesn't exist: see

The minute there was technology available that allowed people to see and hear through walls privacy died. It now costs less than $5,000 and if you have the right antenna you can see inside of homes from long distance and listen to people's diaphragms which allow you to listen to their inner-thoughts.

The default demo software for that particular device is to allow for listening to heartbeats but with the right modifications listening to the human diaphragm is just a matter of effort. There are people at several universities working on these kinds of imaging projects using mmwave right now even though the technology to do this has been available for over fifty years.
Safety was always a concern even in the first days, except for the daredevils which exist in every field. The only difference is that nowadays we have more safety exactly because of this mindset. Imagine if people now start to think it is ok to "take risks" with aviation.
So according to document[1], the "accounts" they want to seize are cryptocurrency addresses? How is that supposed to work? Are they expecting the cryptocurrency developers to hard fork the network so ownership can be transferred to the DOJ? Are they expecting exchanges to blacklist those addresses? What's preventing the original owners from laundering them again to get past that?

Where I live there is no bookstore with their web store within a close distance (it's greater than 30 minute drive). So, it's not an option. One bookstores within 30 minutes all have very limited selection essentially tied to those who live at the edge of suburbia and rural.

So, if I'm going to order online I'm happy to do it in a way that supports small bookstores.

I imagine there are others like me.

> you shouldn’t believe something without evidence

This is a complete lack of understanding of scientific process and practices. People believe things without evidence all the time, gut feelings for example, and manage to be quite successful at them, I might add.

Stock markets. Startups. Scientific research into unknown categories. All these things require a sense of faith in what might be instead of blind trust in what has been "proven" (which is only to say a belief in a statistical model about a given thing).

Also, nobody said "woosh" so quoting it as if it was said is irrational.
I bet they also use Linux.
I highly doubt that. There's a difference in expectations on the safety of the first airplanes versus airplanes for mass consumer daily usage. Or in other words, a matured technology.

If what you think is true, no one would be bothering to explore self driving cars. Once that technology is matured enough, I absolutely expect (and hope) that they reach the same level of safety standards and requirements that airplanes take on.
This is the most grim thing I've read in a while. Get your free test, the price is only a pound of blood and an hour of your time.

In Seattle, at least, you can just go get a free test in a drive thru with almost 0 hassle and no cost. This is the way it should be -- as accessible as possible and free. Otherwise you'll have infected folks skipping testing.
If Google wants to be viewed as a safe harbor, so Google should behave as one and stop deciding what is "hateful". What you/Google/government consider hateful can be what I or the people in Belarus consider the truth. This trend of "censorship for your own good" needs to stop.
Tips for Using the Sockets API
There are hundreds if not thousands of servers open to the internet that contains CT/CET/MRI/X-ray scans (PACS servers or DICOM)

I accidently found some of them, you can download 'sensitive' patient data, illness/disease information specifically labelled and categorized waiting for you to collect.

Some of those also include family-tree information, random ID scans (driver's license, national IDs etc), and contract scans (hand-signed versions)

I found those back in 2017, even though notified respective hospitals and institutions, they're still open. Given WFH/remote-working practices are more common now, probably there are more.
I remember that discussion. If I recall, your experience was poor because you didn't have Sharepoint storage, yes? (merge conflicts?)

Exactly - there is no reason to believe it causes long term problems so fearmongering about it pointless and anti-scientific.
Why do people buy vinyl records or ride horses?

There's something completely magical about making an inter-continental contact with 5 watts and a wire in a tree, or bouncing your voice off an amateur-built satellite with a handheld yagi. There's an eerie beauty to the atmospherics on the HF band, the music of signal emerging from the noise. The anticipation of the dah-dit-dah-dit dah-dah-dit-dah of a CQ call, the excitement when a rare callsign weakly breaks through, the frenzied pile-up of operators jostling to get their QSL. The bizarre geopolitical madness of 7055kHz.

Hardly anyone needs to use amateur radio, but it can be a tremendous amount of fun.

I believe some highways are purposely built slightly crooked (like an S) over long flat stretches, to keep drivers more engaged and less likely to fall asleep. I'm not sure if there are any that are built that way to look straight on Mercator projection.

Of course, there are large parts of the world where the population density isn't worth doing such a thing, and you have quite long roads that are perfectly straight from the driver's point of view.
Haha, if you drive EPA you most definitely use snuff, in the mouth.
It's a bit late I think.
one of the problems we have in Tech (as an industry and on social media) is to allow individuals who make poor and bad decisions to hide behind the collective of a company/organization. And we continue applauding them for their great work they do in areas that are removed from the political. But these days innovation acts as a shield where we let the innovators get away and reap praise as individuals (the inventors of golang, the teams who standardized QUIC, the guys doing netflix propaganda about their simian-devops-army, facebooks React, Amazon's DSSTNE...) all of them have engineers who wear these things like a badge and are proud to give talks. Yet when they are responsible for projects that violate human rights, remove the Taiwanese flags from their app, or censor speech as in this case then we're never talking about people but it's always the opaqueness of the firm that hides these abuses.

We need a list of these lizards so we know when to throw tomatoes and rotten eggs at them whenever they give a talk or share feel-good posts on LinkedIn.

people should be ashamed instead of proud when they write "disclaimer I work at X"
This is the approach I’m taking with https://rx-store.github.io/rx-store/

Would it be a legal problem if they were to use different names or close enough but different names? I wonder because the real interest here is the physical appereance being the same or similar to the person, and I'm not aware of trademarks with human appereance.

Wikipedia cites a articles that show a number of examples of the company Twitter acocunt saying anti-semetic things, for example https://web.archive.org/web/20181031162843/https://www.cnn.c....

I agree with your point - it is hard to tell the difference generally, and it is an important point to remember, but the behaviour of the company itself shows that it is not an issue this time.
I am always very suspicious of graphs that use a vertical scale that doesn't start at 0. It makes you think the ham radio population has doubled or tripled, while in reality it only gained a few percentage points.

Hey Hacker News, I'm Ross Radford from Austin Texas.

I've been a Senior Engineer in Test for long enough to care about this subject, and I think we'd all be better off using soft assertions, and less assertion in tests generally.
> if you have a problem with hate speech you should probably get off the internet.

The internet, yes, as one cohesive whole. There aren't safe places, adult content can't be hidden from kids so let's not let kids use google until they're at least 18, maybe 21, and hate speech is something we see continuously everywhere...

I think you're overreacting.

> The lack of long-term data does not provide any support for (or against) the idea that its long-term impact is similar to the flu.

Except when one makes a claim, one needs evidence. The assumption is the status quo unless proven otherwise which by your own admission is not possible to do right now so quit the fearmongering.

Short version as I understand it - there was a little bit of Islamic terrorism a decade or so ago. China decided to address it by basically wiping the entire religion and culture out of existence. Thus why they call them "deradicalization" and "re-education" camps. Their PR story is that they're trying to take "suspected Islamic radicals" and reeducate them to "integrate into mainstream Chinese society".

In practice, this seems to mean that if you're the wrong religion and so much as breathe funny, off you go to the camps, where you will be basically tortured and brainwashed into adopting Han Chinese culture.
This is not the first time such issues have been reported. I wonder if there will be any change in behavior, specially now that the company is in a bad financial situation.

The author tells the story of typical undergraduate instruction for the integrals of tan(x) and sec(x). I would have thought that such a setting would have included that these were improper integrals, because of the infinities in the functions. i.e. if you evaluate the definite integral for any particular interval, it will give you the right answer except if you've gone through the part where the graph goes up to plus infinity and back through minus infinity.

Can someone more mathematically literate than me shed any light on whether it matters? I guess it's still useful even if the integral is undefined at certain points off the edges of the map.

I really like Kobo but they do seem rather fragile.
Performance for simple things is adequate, but relying on 2-point rectangles (origin(x,y), dimensions(width,height)) for geometry is extremely cumbersome. Also everything is hack piled on top of hack (for example there is no concept of a camera, the whole world moves around you instead to simulate the camera effect!).

So... webgl is still the way! This is meant to be an experiment to show what css/html is capable of!

So they think there is one specific animal path from bats to humans? It's already been shown that several types of animals can become infected, so why not multiple paths? I don't understand why they think it necessarily started in the Wuhan area either; that's where it first started spreading rapidly and was noticed, but as we've seen in the US sometimes it spreads fast and sometimes it doesn't and even with testing there appear to be a lot of excess deaths where no one realized the cause was COVID-19. Could have been around long before Dec 2019 and then flared up in Wuhan. I'm not an expert though, maybe they have other clues such as from gene sequencing.
It's worth noting that there's also a side that wants the opposite of that, to censor bad opinions, but not be able to refuse making a gay wedding cake.

Hypocrites are not limited to specific groups, they're universal.
That’s a speculative piece and the one it links to is as well.

The 787 was designed to not require as much infrastructure as the Everett plant has to offer. I’m out of the loop, but Wikipedia still lists most of the rest of their catalog as being produced in Everett, and the new 777 is coming online.

Sounds more like having to choose between 787 capacity and other production lines.

I’m not sure where they get losing the 787 meaning nothing to backfill it. For those specific employees, changing programs may be difficult and not all of them will be picked up, but for the region, I don’t see how this means 30k fewer jobs.

Also Everett does other things besides assembly. I think most of their IT and a few other programs are there.
I wrote a CLI tool in Python for this exact use case and am currently using it to write a novel. Basically the CLI tool solves a lot of the tedious issues that come up (e.g., combining all of the text files, reordering them, etc.)

If you like writing out of a text editor (I use Atom) it's super useful.

I think VirtuaVerse does it pretty well. It has that classic cyberpunk style, but it explores very contemporary ideas. I.e. it's not stuck in the '80s.

[IANAD] what you describe might as well be SIBO (as far as i understand in my limited non-professional understanding the bacterial overgrowth can cause the IBS symptoms too though fortunately i was spared that). It took some years in my case to stumble upon definitive test - the lactose based breath test - with all these years doctors dismissing it as "just take the antacid" (which is actually no-no for SIBO), and even with the definitive diagnosis confirmed by the test it is still a struggle to get a right doctor to correctly treat it.
That's a pretty reasonable approach. We publish multiarch base images for OCaml/opam regularly (e.g. see `latest` at https://hub.docker.com/r/ocaml/opam2/tags or https://hub.docker.com/r/ocurrent/opam/tags for slimmer CI images).
Hanlon's razor has hobbled everyone's ability to see what the establishment is doing. This isn't about good intentions gone wrong. The loss of control of the narrative due to the internet has been a severe setback for the powerful, and they have been slowly clawing it back by limiting access to alternative media.

Various think tanks, NGOs, board members with multiple irons in the fire, foreign interests, and the government itself exert a lot of influence on large players to shut down harmful narratives. Most visible was when the deplatforming activity started with threats from lawmakers against outlets if they didn't remove certain content. You've also got various orgs with CIA connections acting as "fact checkers" on Facebook. The influence happens in subtle and many ways.
Of course, this is Android and open source apps. There are almost always apks to be found outside of Google's kingdom for open source projects.
They can have and do have regional app stores.
Places like voat consistently have holocaust denial and calls to actually murder jewish and black people at the very tippy top. There are few places that can be more accurately called "filled with hate speech" than voat.
Since libel is "a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation", what if the videos were titled appropriately, clearly indicating it is not actually the celebrity in the video.

Instead of "<Celebrity Name> <Sex Act>", it could be titled "DeepFake Rendering of <Celebrity Name> <Sex Act>".

While videos could still damage the reputation of someone (only in the eyes of those who disapprove of porn), there is clearly no "false statement" being made.
I think it's pretty hard to get more performant than webgl, especially as the number of vertices increases/geometry complexity increases.

Excellent - not sure why this racist cancer is spreading so much and so fast across the internet, but any such tumour must be extirpated. If you refuse to police such content because of “free speech” then go back to the 30s, because expressing hatred for people is not an exercise of freedom. There are of course legitimate websites operating on the fediverse but sadly it is also thriving with crime and hatred.
I'm no manager but I'd guess some of the most basic rules of management will say "don't do this". Yet some managers do it, like they can't see the damage it's doing to trust and morale, and that it will simply not (unless under special circumstances) bring any higher quality or other value. Yet still it happens. It's so strange.

You can be an open source advocate while not exclusively using open source software. I've been an open source advocate for most of my life, during the early days I predominantly used Windows, but I was aware of Linux and skilled with it and worked to ensure it was used where appropriate and possible on servers in my workplaces. It's a given that Linux dominates servers in 2020, but that wasn't always the case.

The way now is really not even on the desktop, Linux lost there and now the world has moved on. The war is on mobile, and Android isn't truly open in the way that Linux upstream is due to binary blobs and baseband. Hopefully someday we'll see a truly open mobile platform rise to supremacy, but right now we have two separate walled gardens on mobile and not much else.

Within those walled gardens, advocacy can be to use apps which are open source vs proprietary options (e.g. to use andOTP instead of Authy, or Bitwarden instead of LastPass, as a simple example).

Existing inside the walled garden we're all forced to exist in is not hypocrisy, it's pragmatism. Using the best tool for the job and acknowledging the deficiency of open options is just being realistic, not an example of a fall from purity. Not everyone is Richard Stallman.

I've been re-reading "The Hobbit" recently, and this passage struck me as relevant to your comment. From Chapter 3, "A Short Rest":

"Now it is a strange thing, but things that are good to have and days that are good to spend are soon told about, and not much to listen to; while things that are uncomfortable, palpitating, and even gruesome, may make a good tale, and take a deal of telling anyway."

During the stay in Rivendell, nothing much interesting happens - so Tolkien doesn't bother with telling us about it. The exciting, interesting stuff is when our heroes are in peril or experiencing great trials and tribulations.
