Possibly, but that isn't impossible. The Oklahoma City bombing killed 168 people, after all. If I can come up with a bunch of situations that seem likely, I'm sure other folks can too. Folks that actually know how to do stuff and are motivated to do so.

I'm willing to say there's a distinction in kind between a person committing a crime and the entire military going on an adventure without authorization.
> objects and classes are a fundamental concepts people are familiar with from real-life experiences.

The idea that actions one can perform on real-world items are actually embedded in those items themselves (as opposed to being imposed on them from the external world) is neither universally accepted ontology nor required understanding for day-to-day interaction with them.
Hmm...per Wikipedia the original Facebook chat was started in 2008. Facebook Messenger for mobile was 2011. QQ didn't have their mobile version till 2013.

Facebook cannibalized social networks in the US and homegrown networks abroad. Though we'd never know, I'd believe they would have done the same in China.
I wonder if this only says something about the author or about us.

You might phrase a title that way if you believe that we trust computers more than we trust scientists. Is that true? I don't think so. But if it is, how horrifying.

That's too bad.

Interesting. Are you consistent about that?
Are you kidding ?? Source means nothing if you can inject code through resources. ever heard about virus authors being ahead of virus scanners?
And if you only need a monotone priority queue (i.e. priority queue where the popped elements are monotonically increasing/decreasing) you should consider using a radix heap. This monotone requirement can be satisfied more than you would expect when eg. using time as key or in pathfinding. I have a simple radix heap implementation here: https://github.com/mpdn/radix-heap

I wouldn't want to work with or socially interact with Nazis. But this doesn't seem relevant in the context of infrastructure companies like Patreon. There's a difference between providing a formalized service to someone and putting your creativity and energy into working with them. In providing a formalized service, companies like Patreon are more akin to doctors and lawyers then to coworkers and friends.

I doubt what you are seeing is "state-sponsored downvoting".

This is just a controversial subject as it is nationalistic and related to US politics in a roundabout way (Russian election meddling in the 2016 election).

Besides I really doubt that it matters very much what anyone writes and up/downvotes in an internet forum.
It prohibits a secondary market for airline tickets without violating the law.

Otherwise, it is unlawful in most US jurisdictions and for most things to prohibit ticket resales.

Sometimes the reason is really stupid. Like with liquids, it's as basic as selling more concessions.
Intel Launches Tiger Lake: A Live Blog (Noon ET, 9am PT)
Craftsmanship gets a bad rap in the arts, and is widely considered to be somehow "lesser" than "True Art".

The work of craftsmen is often denigrated as being unoriginal and indistinguishable, but quite often a craftsman's work bears the distinctive stamp of its creator, and when you look closely you can tell one craftsman's work from another.

Craftspeople also do innovate in technique and coming up with new motifs. The line between craft and art is blurry, and there are good arguments to be made for craft to be considered art.

I am reminded also of the snobbish attitude some people have towards genre fiction and genre films. Work made in a genre is often seen as somehow lesser or not worthy compared to "serious" film and fiction. However, again and again genre films and fiction come out which are widely considered to be masterpieces. I'm thinking of, say, Kubrick's work in science fiction and horror (2001 and The Shining), Philip K Dick's science fiction, and Lovecraft's horror. Many of their works are now considered masterpieces despite working in what were once considered to be backwater genres.

What is considered to be art has also radically changed over the millennia. Many things now considered to be high art (like, say, Duchamp's Fountain[1]) are considered masterpieces of art that broke new ground, but at the same time it could be argued that it's not art at all, and in fact any work of a craftsperson has more of a claim to the term "art" than something like Duchamp's Fountain, which wasn't even made by Duchamp, and is a mere industrial product. But can industrial products be art? Apparently they can, if they're placed in to a gallery and looked at in a certain way.

Hi, also from Sweden. Yes, in högstadiet/high school I think it is rare to offer classical Greek or Latin. Even Italian is rare. But there are definitely Latin and Greek courses at universities. I studied 7,5 points of Latin last semester. I know Uppsala University offers a 30 point course. I'd recommend looking at antagning.se, if you want to make it more than a fun side project :-)
It is, but for PRC, US is a major export partner, they can't really cut them off without themselves suffering too. So, US can afford to go on offensive there. Also, US does have technological capability to build the things they import themselves.

This might not be that true for India. Related subthread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24355659
The Chinese government mandates that every app written in China must track and trace it's users.
This applies to apps running outside China but owned by Chinese companies.

1+ or Xiaomi or Huawei, they can't really do anything about it.

They have to track users to be not banned.
Do you generally follow news about China or have you tried to do any business in China?
They started to assassinate people in Ukraine much earlier. They tried to kill me from 2008 to 2019. It was not clear why they're trying to kill me (I'm nobody, low rank officer, was not in service), until they killed Mamchur, so nobody believed me at the time, until the war. With few other officers, we started informal counter-intelligence group. In 2012, I intercepted plans to destabilize situation in Ukraine. In 2013-2014, we noticed presence of Russian agents at Maidan, so I was deployed at Maidan to find Russian and drain information from them. Because of multiple attempts to kill me, I had 5 years of war-time experience in 2013, so it was easy job for me.
> Think mafia. Sure the thug did illegal crap and you know it, but he isn’t worth arresting. You want the boss.

I can't imagine a scenario where blowing up an airplane full of civilians would fall into the category of "not worth arresting".

> Or to use a more scifi spin: Data science says you are 99% likely to blow up a plane.

That's fiction for a reason--there's no possible way to know that from "data science". In the real world, you can know that from things like direct evidence that this person is involved in a plot to blow up an airplane, which is something they can be arrested for.

There are those who understand the nuance in discussions like these that use meaningful and succinct terms like systematic to represent a known thing. Once a term is in the mainstream though, others will adopt a term without really understanding or often having any desire to understand what they're saying.

It's like a strawman that's been brought to life for opposition to a belief it had previously been used in. The term may then lose meaning once everyone on twitter starts debating it under it's new flawed definition. Basically a way to dismiss something uncomfortable by subverting it's meaning. A good example would be "Social Just Warrior" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_justice_warrior.

What GP is doing is feeding the strawman (I doubt intentionally) which may have the effect of reducing real evidence and support into subjective nonsense in the mainstream context. The worst part is that it sort of feeds itself. GP might very well be correct in that the term is being misused blatantly in some contexts.

I did not interpret "emerge" and emerging from the computer, any more than something like "LIGO reports very unusual data, and a new theory of physics has emerged".

I'm a Flux user. There are two ways Flux provides value to my company. First, we improved our workflow, gone are the days when each of us was just throwing our work over the fence to the next. Second, we spent less time theorizing about whether every change will break the circuit or not.
Regarding the simulator, I tried using LTSPICE and other simulators in the past but the workflow was always cumbersome and the limited availability of simulation models for parts combined with the very steep learning curve of building my own made it impractical. Flux documents are our virtual workbenches now, where we can have multiple variations of design set up next to each other, with virtual testing gear and tools.
Regarding collaboration, man what a game changer! We now can just quickly share a link and get our heads together over a design decision and implement a solution.
The founders, Matthias, Chris, and Lance, didn't ask me to write this. I chose to write it because it's a great product that I think can help a lot of teams & people.
From the github issue:

> In short, packaged Debian/ubuntu Python installs things into dist-packages. site-packages is left alone in-case you like to build your own upstream python and install it. Debuntu overrides the distutils it ships to redirect installs to dist-packages.
It gets blurry when you install pip from upstream. But it would call setuptools, which would use the patched distutils so things worked.

>

> Now setuptools vendors distutils this and always installs things into site-packages, which isn't on the packaged python interpreter path, so it can't find modules.

Now, who thinks that vendoring distutils is a good idea? And installing into the base system?
> Fast desktop chips with fast single threaded performance

We can dream :p
Weird to see this "partial" announcement - since it's mostly for the U-series chips (up to 28W TDP). This suggests that Intel must really be getting pressure to release something competitive against AMD's Renoir offerings. The more performance-orient chips (traditionally known as "H series" but who know the new branding...) is still unannounced and unknown.

Will have for 3rd party benchmarks to determine the real performance improvements. The single-core and GPU are certainly the highlights, but it's odd that even the top-end i7 chips still retain the 4 physical cores. AMD's 4700U is already at 8 physical cores.

TeamGroup Previews New 15.36 TB Consumer SATA SSD, for $3990
Seems sketchy. But even the TSA has a 'safe list' of folks who can skip the line - is this morally different? Law enforcement identifies folks who are not habitual offenders, who support law enforcement and who if they abuse the privilege will hear about it from a cop/friend, and give them a card. Not sounding like such a terrible thing to me. Remember, nobody is getting away with murder here.

Or micropayments :) I understand the aversion to ads but content creators(journalist, musicians, artists, programmers creating oss, etc) and the web as a whole produces useful stuff, it would be good to find a business model which supports them.
I want to comment on that article you keep referring to, but I don't want to clutter up the top of the thread so I'll do it here.

The author really wants to dislike PGP, but the reason everyone trusts PGP is because it's been around forever. Yeah there've been deficiencies, just like there've been deficiencies in OpenSSL, but that doesn't make it a bad tool. I could go on but this xkcd sums it up: https://xkcd.com/2347/

>Absurd Complexity / Swiss Army Knife Design

Git is complex, yet effectively every project ever uses it. The reason is you're fine to avoid the edge-cases and just focus on the main functionality, but that one time you need to do something ridiculously hacky, there's a tool to do it, instead of having to roll your own solution.

>Backwards Compatibility

Would you rather your software not have backwards compat? GPG has sane defaults, and everyone you talk to using modern versions will be secure by default. Not sure what the author is going on about with weak default password encryption:

$ gpg -vv --symmetric test.txt
...
gpg: using cipher AES256
gpg: writing to 'test.txt.gpg'

>Obnoxious UX

I don't really find GPG any harder to use than Git. http://irtfweb.ifa.hawaii.edu/~lockhart/gpg/

>Long-Term Secrets

By default, GPG keys expire in a year.

>Broken Authentication

I've never heard of any of this. Sign and encrypt, by default you get AES256 encryption and a SHA512 digest:

$ gpg --sign --encrypt test.txt
...
$ gpg -vv -o /dev/null --decrypt test.txt.gpg
...
gpg: encrypted with 3072-bit RSA key, ID 74588E74DDD483BC, created 2020-09-02
"test"
gpg: AES256 encrypted data
gpg: binary signature, digest algorithm SHA512, key algorithm rsa3072

>Incoherent Identity

Have an identity. Have other people verify it. Trust based on that. It's the same way the PKI works, you know, that thing that runs the entire internet. Except you don't need to trust CAs anymore.

>Leaks Metadata

He's not wrong about this one, normally you can see who's ID a message is encrypted for. If you're trying to be sneaky just use symmetric encryption I guess, it feels like a different use case.

>No Forward Secrecy

Definitely a different use case. There's no case where I want to decrypt a packet from the middle of a TLS conversation a few years later. But an encrypted attachment in an old email?

>Clumsy Keys

How are GPG keys harder to handle than SSH keys? Both are just blocks of base64 (gpg --export-secret-keys -a)... one is 80 lines while the other is 50, but does it really matter?

>Negotiation

Same argument as Backwards Compatibility, I think.

>Janky Code

The page he linked has 27 CVEs. Over the last 15 years. For comparison, OpenSSL has over 200.
I expect my government to track non-citizens on entry and exit. That is the role of government operating for the benefit of its citizens. I don't only not have a problem with it, I support it.

There are governance and oversight issues, of course, but that is an argument for governance and oversight, not against tracking.
How are so many people missing the forest for the trees this badly?

Speeding cameras are mot perfect but literally every complaint you have applies to police, except police amplify them, while reducing the damage done by bias

Police over-police neighborhoods just like cameras could oversaturate them.

But police stops for a speeding ticket can spiral into life destroying incidents in an instant, and not just in overt ways like police shootings.

Even something as simple as claiming they smelt a drug can result in property being seized, destroyed, people being detained.

How many innocent people do you think there are out there who took a plea deal to go to prison over what started as a routine traffic stop?!

And you want to talk about fines? How do the fines differ from police tickets? Except the officer being able to heap on as much damage as they feel like doing at that moment.

For every time a cop "does someone a favor" by only giving them a 5 over to prevent a higher fine and more points, how many times were they able to instead put the full number, and a ticket because you didn't fully stop according to me, and I'll tack on a charge for that taillight, and improper merge because you changed lanes at that turn back there, and also do I smell weed?

Cops say this all the time, they do not attempt to hide it, it is literally their MO: "If I follow someone long enough, they will mess up".

There are too many traffic laws that essentially have turned driving into an invitation for stop and frisk.

Why do we understand stop and frisk is bad when you're walking down the street, but not bad when you're in one of your most valuable possessions (which can be seized on extremely dubious grounds)

I know it's popular on HN to ignore common sense to make a contrarian point, but come on...

The issue is the old “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” For example, what if a large segment of the user base, that regularly contributed extraordinarily positive engagements, existed solely for the opportunities to frame certain conversations, even in the slightest, or even in preparation for something in the distant future.

If it weren't then of course private schools might also start giving more generous estimates.

But, also parents might still prefer a better education rather than a higher grade.

FYI public schools are private schools in the UK, the nomenclature is rubbish.
Exactly the point. You'd lend out of good will, or be willing to engage in a transaction that there is a risk of loss in it (e.g. invest in an upcoming company instead of giving the amount as a loan). It's only fair.
How We Reduced Churn by 87.5%
Thanks :) In terms of our difference with BAT, we are much simpler. Content creators set their price and users pay, we dont track the amount of time spent on a site, we dont make a browser, we haven't created our own coin. It takes 5minutes for a content creator to add the paywall, as easy as adding a script tag. We hope to bring micropayments to the masses, having the option to view an ad hopefully solves the chicken and egg problem as users dont need to convert to micropayments straight away for creators to make money.

To make the process are simple as possible for non-crypto users we are working on a browser extension/app which will act as a wallet and autopay to create a seamless experience. We are working to integrate with an exchange so that users can top up straight from their credit cards and don't need to know anything about Bitcoin.

I guess the biggest threat for the user is the wallet/extension being drained. We recommend users don't store lots of money in there, but given that we are dealing with micropayments there shouldn't be need for high amounts anyway. Giving users more control comes with more risk, but that's the tradeoff and we aim to help educate on ways to mitigate these risks.

We use Bitcoin Lightning Network as it lets us do micropayments without tracking users, we aren't interested in creating a coin or doing an ico.

Thank you for your feedback
Yes, I believe theres a few startups(escher, lastbit, strike) working on converting lightning BTC <-> USD
That is a really stupid reason, because it doesn't make any sense. Why would the security agencies care how many concessions are sold? Why would airports provide free drinking fountains with bottle-filling attachments if there was some governmental conspiracy to sell more water?

The much more likely explanation is that there is some threat where the neer-do-wells would use X oz of something bad to mess up a plane or the passengers. Maybe X=5 and it is to prevent lone wolf attacks. Maybe X=21 and the argument is they would need to get 7 bad guys onto the plane to do it, which decreases the odds significantly that it could be pulled off without security agencies figuring out the plan.
I'm not sure who told you that non-random tests means non-parameterized tests but I don't think you'll get a lot of push back on parameterized tests from any of the commentators here.

The point is you should write exhaustive tests such that you couldn't imagine the randomized test finding anything new, especially on bounded sets of inputs. If you're not writing exhaustive tests because of a random strategy then yes, the choice is exactly between knowing immediately or later.

I've seen novices assume random tests are exhaustive even when they could think of several edge cases.
If you're paying a ticket, you're not paying the cop though, that's not corruption. They're saying "we've got you, but here's an offer because we don't think we can convict you of the big thing, or because you've been doing this for the first time". You can take it and pay your dues, or you can fight. But then they might fight as well.

There's no reason why the state should go to court over every infraction. You hopefully learned a lesson about stopping the car, why should the state spend thousands of dollars on a court case and make you spend a lot as well?

That would be very different if they said "you can get a ticket or you can donate the money to my wife's charity."
Oh, sorry, I didn't read / comprehend your comment properly earlier.

Firstly, try contacting hn@ycombinator.com detailing what you'd like to build and see if they're interested / able to collaborate or provide you the necessary access / APIs.

I'm not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination, but have contacted the mods from time to time and found them eminently approachable.

Secondly, if you can't see the up or down vote buttons, try clicking on a comment or submissions time stamp immediately after the username. For reasons I don't know sometimes the vote buttons aren't displayed in the regular view.

Just to be clear, "Battery Status" is not a "W3C spec". The latest published version at https://www.w3.org/TR/battery-status/ is "Candidate Recommendation", and has been stuck there for over four years, precisely because it's failing to meet the bar to progress to "Recommendation".

And the reason it's failing to meet that bar is because of fundamental and unaddressed privacy problems with the proposal.

Calling it a "Chrome proprietary API" is exactly correct at this point.
