Also not the parent. For me, I want my speaker, position 4 meters away, to play some music from my phone or laptop. First, I tried to use use youtube feature to beam the video to my android smart tv connected to the speaker. However, it is a waste of resources to do that. Later, I found some scripts on the internet for my Pi 3 to play the sound via Bluetooth. It is a better solution than my original idea, I can use any app, not just youtube. However I recently found an even better way, by buying a Bluetooth transmitter dongle that can be connected to my speaker. It only costs me less than $2. I can ask my Pi 3 to do something else more important than this task.
For a long time, USPS was directly controlled by government, yet was also one of the only ways for people to communicate long distance. Government could easily have made laws like "we will read all your mail", or "we won't deliver mail to political enemies".

Yet that didn't happen. Why are things turning out differently in the internet age?
The intervention in the United States was haphazard and underfunded by the government. There was no reason for any business to go bankrupt while a proper lockdown was implemented. Instead there was a spotty, inconsistent response with very little help for people. Like, one 1200 check for people and two loans for businesses?

It was the worst of all worlds and you're blaming it on the wrong people.

Yes, except the important parts. In Moore’s law scaling, you reduce the cost per transistor, and because of that there is money for capex and the consumer benefits.

In Huangs law, si is commoditized, so the benefit accrues to the designer and software makers, and really only in narrow domains.

That’s because the law is intentionally vague and has uneven enforcement baked into its design.

To be clear: I am a privacy advocate and agree that GDPR is not a barrier to medical trials, but it is basically a mess of a regulation. It’s almost as if the legal industry was consulted and wrote it to ensure continuing billions in legal fees from every company in the world.

Anyone engaging in legally questionable activity who didn't already consider this attack vector and take it seriously simply haven't been paying attention and have bad OPSEC.

The possibility of this kind of attack has always been mathematically possible and it doesn't take machine learning or computer vision to do it. It boils down to basic linear transformation.

There's a long history of attempts to identify persons by photos of fingerprints for evidence, there's just a level of uncertainty involved which make it more suited for gathering intelligence than court-submitted evidence.

> Examples: Marijuana, abortion, gay marriage

> These things used to be socially unacceptable and illegal, but they are now socially acceptable and legal

And you don't get Marijuana or an abortion at the gas station. But you might be able to get gay married at a gas station in Vegas ;)

I don't think they're anywhere close to socially acceptable yet, outside of young and very progressive people. You're not going to talk to your manager at a bank about getting an abortion or smoking weed, but you can absolutely talk to them about smoking cigars or some new whisky. They're less ostracized, I'd say, but I see your point.

I'm not sure it's legality and availability changes frequency. Abortions aren't becoming more common, they peaked in the 80ies (in the US) and have been falling since. I don't know the current numbers, but a few years ago they recorded the lowest numbers since they started recording them in the early 70ies.

> And convenience stores would certainly stock drugs if there was demand and they were allowed to.

If they were socially accepted at the level of Alcohol, maybe, but that'll take decades if not centuries. There's a demand for sex toys, and they're legal, but convenience stores don't usually have them stocked. It's changing, but very slowly, because society is much more socially conservative than Hollywood and media companies reflect back, and most people don't want dildos and life-size sex dolls presented where they shop with their children. I believe the same is true for drugs.

Also, there's no reason why they wouldn't be sold in special stores, and that's a big plus for legalization: you can regulate what is legal. You can put age restrictions on what's legal. And, from a state perspective: you can tax what's legal.
That's already a reality today.

The Opium Wars story is a cautionary tale that should apply equally to China and to the USA. Every country should think twice about excessively powerful foreign mercantile forces, especially digital ones in this era of mechanized propaganda and surveillance.

It’s rational for China to limit Apple and Google and for the USA to limit WeChat.

This will remain so as long as a basically lawless state exists internationally, which seems to be the case following the collapse of post Cold War globalism in the 20-teens.
I will have to agree with the dead comment by @leafboi, it is not that every animal can live harmoniously, indeed every animal is in competition by the laws of natural selection, and each animal can be seen as the outlier in its species. In the case of humans, there may be multiple paths to success, but it may be that many of them lead to failure while producing certain outliers.

Unrelatedly, does anyone know why certain comments immediately become dead, they don't really seem to break any HN rules but I see often that some comments die quickly.

> It's also too early to say that Apple Silicon is a threat to anyone.

Anandtech's Tiger Lake deep dive compares performance gains when running SPEC at a 15 watt TDP and a 28 watt TDP.

>At first glance, the Tiger Lake system performs quite well versus its predecessor, but that’s mostly only in the 28W mode. At 15W, the generational boost, while it is there, isn’t that significant.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16084/intel-tiger-lake-review...

We're getting to the point where Intel is no longer able to deliver significant performance improvements inside a low TDP.

This bodes well for an architecture that has much better performance per watt.

>Here we present the 15W vs 28W configuration figures for the single-threaded workloads, which do see a jump in performance by going to the higher TDP configuration, meaning [Tiger Lake] is thermally constrained at 15W even in ST workloads.

Comparing it against Apple’s A13, things aren’t looking so rosy as the Intel CPU barely outmatches it even though it uses several times more power, which doesn’t bode well for Intel once Apple releases its “Apple Silicon” Macbooks.

> they do not viotate [sic] GDPR.

[citation needed]

Why would they not violate the GDPR? These tracking pixels inherently collect personal information such as IP address (and more details like user-agent).

The fact that some e-mail services like Hey or Gmail neutralize them doesn't suddenly make that okay, as people with email services that don't have countermeasures against that still end up being tracked.
It's harder to get users without, and sponsorship/funding is probably out reach.

There are a lot of technically good projects which fail because of lack of marketing, and a lot of well-marketed project that are too shallow to succeed. Having both is an incredible asset.

That's why I would be extremely excited if they teamed up.
From a managerial perspective, here is my issue: I want people to feel comfortable coming to me with issues and concerns. That is important in terms of doing good management. Yet if someone revealed something to me that is highly reportable, I may need to act on it. I'm primarily thinking HR issues, but can easily think of others.

One way to manage this is to have the casual conversation, and then in a separate 'official' conversation broach only that issue with the employee.

But yeah--highly recommend building relationships with managers before talking about career plans outside company. Career plans inside your company is a different deal. If you have a useful manager who actually is invested in the growth of the team, it is a great opportunity. (growth = expertise, not growth = number of direct reports)
Automate the boring stuff is definitely great stuff; I started my web scraping through it. However, I feel it may be a little too much for the 12th grade; again, it may be just me, with very late into the programming interest. My experience when giving recommendations is not to make multiple things learn in parallel. It is always easier to start with a project which we routinely do. The idea is to be clear on the process and outcome, and then achieve it in a non-routine process, programming. The approach will help not easily give up the task, and also brings interest. So, maybe you to list out the tasks that the kids usually do or even ask to list down their favorite/routine tasks and guide them through the programmatic approach.
It's also RFID tags, which some other stores use to track product locations.

On the contrary, I think it's vastly more consequential than the corresponding argument wrt a hard-copy book or CD-ROM. A single OS upgrade can render an application completely inoperable. Had this ban been timed slightly differently, the recent iOS 14 update could have shut down every copy running on iOS devices. Every typical iOS user (and many Android users) are "N days" from total failure of the app on their device, for values of N ranging to a few hundred.

It's not clear to me that they identified him that way. It might be that they arrested him due to other evidence, compared the fingerprints afterward, and told him that they could prove the fingerprints matched, whereupon he pled guilty.

It's no unheard of to elicit guilty pleas using less than scientifically robust forensic methods.

Street heroin isn't comparable because that's a complication of it being illegal. You would have to compare sugar to legalized heroin and safe injection sites like they have in Switzerland. In which case you are wrong. Heroin is a very safe drug once you eliminate the possibility of overdose, extremely well tolerated by the body aside from constipation. Which is why opiates are extremely common in hospitals and are used in great quantities all over the world.

Diabetes is far more dangerous than legal and medically supervised heroin. So you got that wrong. What else did you get wrong?

Alcohol addiction is worse than sugar addiction without a doubt, I can agree with that.

Diabetes is a very serious disease. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out a cocaine addiction is safer long term. You would really need to back up your claim with stats instead of just continuing to insist.
A counterpoint is that the telephone infrastructure has been tapped by the US government to monitor even citizens conversations. My opinion is that since it requires fewer people it is easier to do.

Like the article said, this is the first death that's caused by ransomware attack. However, there are plenty of deaths that can be prevented by using an RMN machine. Making RMN machines all over the world 1% more efficient by linking them up to the cloud saved many hundreds of lives so far - not having hospitals impervious to ransomware attacks cost 1 live so far, and it seemed to be by mistake. The attack ceased when they found out it was a hospital.

I'd really like to hear an argument saying that we need to make all hospitals robust to ransomware attacks AND THE EQUIVALENT RISK-EVENTS, because you don't get to chose before the fact which event you need to guard against. It's very cheap to say post-fact, in the comment thread of this particular news, that management should have taken care of this and screw the cost (I'd expect HN people to be aware that competent IT services aren't dirt cheap). But do we also need to guard better against falling planes? Or storms? Or homicidal family members? Or rabid dog attacks? I'm almost tempted to put shark attacks on the list as well, because at 1 victim globally, there must have been some circumstance where a floating hospital got a patient killed by a shark.

> If you're a minority and are tired of these word games instead of real change, make yourself heard. Let people know what you think of this pointless "diversity theater".

I am a minority in that I am left-handed. I have not yet discovered my minority powers but I'm sure they are growing and will make themselves clear to me one day so I can take my rightful place among the pantheon of minorities.

To be honest, I hope the opposite is true in that I do hope that the "diversity theatre" will be closed before that time, never to be opened again. Those who play in that theatre claim to support minorities but in fact all they do is drive people apart. It is as if their real purpose is to corral people into minority enclaves, to divide and conquer.
Even if we suppose that you're right that the costs of forced intervention outweighed the costs without such intervention, without a control group (the analogy with Sweden is limited), the counterargument is simply that it would have been worse with minimal forced action.

My preference is a more Bayesian argument a la Huemer's In Praise of Passivity: https://spot.colorado.edu/~huemer/papers/passivity.htm

> Abstract: Political actors, including voters, activists, and leaders, are often ignorant of basic facts relevant to policy choices. Even experts have little understanding of the working of society and little ability to predict future outcomes. Only the most simple and uncontroversial political claims can be counted on. This is partly because political knowledge is very difficult to attain, and partly because individuals are not sufficiently motivated to attain it. As a result, the best advice for political actors is very often to simply stop trying to solve social problems, since interventions not based on precise understanding are likely to do more harm than good.
That is very much an opinion. It's very useful to know exactly which lines might be throwing an error. And I don't agree that "essentially every single function call" needs a ? or an unwrap(), that has not been my experience at all.
