In practice though if the benefiting company doesn't get their way there are plenty of social and financial penalties they can levy: you won't get any severance, unemployment, or possibly even a referral. You may be ostracized by your former team, mentors, and management. You may find your access rights and equipment revoked before you can collect/remove any personal artifacts from them. You may have less productive conversations with HR/legal afterwards.

Disabling cookies should help. I've already read my first members-only story 4 times this month and I still have 2 left.
The BeyondCorp paper explicitly mentions that the device state is taken into consideration when giving access to a user, i.e. that the device is identified and controlled, not just the user. It seems to me like it is an important part in the BeyondCorp access model, otherwise wouldn't this just be a SSO portal?
Learn Kubernetes RBAC – Free Zoom Conference
Yeah, it really does. It's so cramped I feel like I can't read it most of the time, and browser zoom doesn't help at all.

I still don't even understand what the "stories" are exactly? When I've clicked it was a complete waste of time. That showed up earlier though.

The notifications on the right are simply not readable due to cramp and wrapping over three-ish lines, like a table with columns way too narrow for the content.

However, I do appreciate the dark mode.
Everyone being immortal also means you can't kill your enemies. I imagine that would be quite a problem for people like Stalin.
Mind you, in this case, we're talking about something that 1. doesn't have to dry clear (and in fact can dry entirely opaque), and where 2. it'd be much better if you could remove it by peeling it up, rather than by using a solvent, because many of the components have plastic housings that don't take kindly to, well, any strong solvent really. The goal isn't an art piece — it's to create a barrier to moisture/corrosion for a board within an unlit box. If you want to do a repair, you'd entirely remove this layer before doing it; and entirely reapply it afterward.
The proper course of action is holding the person or persons in Contempt of Congress, then dispatching forces under the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislature.

They have teeth if they truly want to get to the bottom of it, don't let anyone fool you. The Legislature has it's own "Executive-Lite" arm specifically intended to facilitate the conductance of legislative business whether the summoned feels like cooperating or not.

That the Legislature refuses to flex that capability is more a sign of the woeful state of modern politics than anything else.

I want to see the Mace of the United States get used, damnit!

Facebook HR Investigator fires employee under false pretenses
You are actually arguing for mediocrity. If someone needs to protect their employment by making their work more obscure so they won't be replaced then they probably aren't a very good hire. Companies tend to want to retain highly competent talent - not mediocre people or incompetents.
>Why are so many people commenting when they clearly don't understand knowledge-creation/statistics/methodology?

Because (a) we want to understand. and (b) reasonable experts differ on what constitutes proper methodology which is constantly being improved.

Surely the effect size of a useful vaccine is large enough that modified behaviour of the vaccinated does not matter at all. We're not looking for a small incremental improvement in contraction rate of the virus here, we're looking for a very large percentage of those who have been administered the vaccine not getting covid. Yeah it could change behaviour but so what? How is that going to bias the result to suggest it isn't working if it is? (or vice-versa)
What sorts of things might one do prior to submerging that would be interesting/useful to explorers who came later?

Distributing several modern equivalents of the Rosetta Stone comes to mind. E.g. build one into the spire of a highrise.

But I'd bet that in Manhattan's case, it would take a really long time for the tallest buildings to become invisible, even if they collapse.
Two Bay Area counties halt Covid-19 test program run by Google offshoot
Well of course, but they are already being oppositional by refusing to obey a lawful request. So this kind of response should be expected and not feared.
The big power of GUI is that it was an alternate control scheme to do anything you can do on the CLI. Voice control is not a UI. It's a limited set of functions not meant to offer analogous control over any aspect of your device really; if it does it's happenstance. That's why Siri is for setting alarms and not doing complicated workflows that would require your thumb. I wish it was a voice ui, though. I wish I could stick my phone on a shelf and step back and tell Siri to take a picture, to do that function on the phone my thumb can do, but the best Siri does is open the camera app because the voice controls are just that, a limited set of control levers to pull and not a complete user interface.
Great, but what does that have to do with the laptop, which came from Delaware and not Russia?

You can’t spout a debunked conspiracy theory about Russian spies and then rail on about objective truth.
A Composite of Milk and Linen
If some package is available in the Conda repos, but not in PyPI, that's down to its author choosing to support one but not the other. Ever since wheels became a thing, I can't think of anything reasonable that's impossible to do via pip when it comes to packaging a library.

The continuous integration environment downloaded a few seconds of copyrighted content bc those videos have obfuscation they needed to test. The RIAA claims that this is a violation. Youtube dl claims it's fair use.
We're talking about a vaccine here, not a cure.

This is preventative medecine, as far as I know, most vaccines cannot be given to someone who already has the disease.

So it makes sense to target healthy people first, to test out the vaccine side effects, make sure there aren't many or bad ones, and then test out if the vaccine works. And then once you know it has low side effects and works, you can risk testing it on more compromised individuals.
good. hopefully it doesn't freeze.

Exactly. Tcl is what we should be using for "shell scripts" instead of bash.
I didn't think or mean to imply that you were asking for special privilege. I just wanted to make the logic explicit that if we were to disable the flagging system, we'd have to do it across the board, and that would turn HN into a political site.

It's true that I'm using somewhat generic terms to describe these situations but there's a simple reason for that: there are hundreds of users asking (and sometimes outright demanding) answers and only one of me to answer them. If there's something specific that I said that you feel is unclear I can try to clarify it.

I don't find words like "suppression" super helpful because they mostly just add negative emotional valence to something that's not secret and is rather benign. If we have more political opinion pieces and/or inflammatory political stories on the front page, then we have less room for discussion of the topics that HN primarily exists for. You can call that suppression if you want. Is a florist suppressing chocolate by only offering a small selection of the latter in their flower shop?

I think the issue with typing via voice are:
1) Speech accuracy
2) Correcting things by voice

It's super unnatural to correct things by voice and until we re-imagine what it looks like if we HAD to type via voice, it's gonna be painful.

Nothing against the hardworking Julia folks,but they have been promising faster loading times since day one.

The fact that, despite the huge amount of work, the loading times are still an issue, tells me that perhaps there is something off with the design of the language itself.
Maybe save that argument for where it applies?

In this thread we're talking about publicly available data.

The fact that the path that works for non-public data is burdensome is good because it reduces abuse. Demanding that it be used for public data too just creates more pressure to undermine the (already insufficient, IMO) protections that exist for private data.
Thank you for volunteering - an indubitably priceless service to humanity.
Which is even worse, because apparently they literally spread fake news due to their not understanding how estimated tax payments work.

So, they illegally obtained something and then misreported on it without giving people the ability to verify their claims. I’m not even sure why they’re allowed to be on twitter in that case.
Nim has no REPL iirc, so that is a deal breaker for most interactive work IMO. There are some data science libraries coming out (maybe arraymancer), but nothing I know of in the numerical computing arena. Nim can compile to C or C++, so I assume FFI is easy, but it's still a lot of work if you aren't familiar with C. Python has all of that handled for you with certain distributions.
You're exercising your right to vote and having your voice count. The message is simple: None of these candidates have my support - do better.

Not voting is widely interpreted as someone being apathetic.
As far as I know, they don't inject people in the trial with Covid, instead they wait long enough and use statistics to asses how many should have gotten Covid by now and if they didn't attribute it to the vaccine working.

Since healthy young people are more likely to get Covid, it might be this is the fastest avenue to knowing how effective the vaccine is.

But I am not a doctor or infectious disease expert or vaccine researcher.
Wouldn’t the actual presence of a dog be better evidence of a dog walk than a paper saying you’re walking a dog?

This sounds like a rejected Monty Python sketch. “Pardon, monsieur; why are you out after curfew?” “I’m walking my dog!” “What dog?” “I have the paperwork right here.” “Very well; bonne nuit!”

Around the same time as the 19th amendment was passed. Eugenics was a very "progressive idea"
I think Section 230 needs updating, badly.

I personally find value in entities like Hacker News, Twitter, StackOverflow, etc that curate their content. I of course do want transparency there.

I also value utterly unfiltered sources. But, I do not need or want every source to be unfiltered. Then everything becomes a firehose of utter garbage.

I think there is room for both. But it just makes zero sense to me to essentially force primarily user-driven platforms like Twitter to amplify/aggregate content from literally everybody. If they don't want to amplify the NYPost's stories, that should be their choice. And then I can choose not to read Twitter if I don't like that. I completely fail to see the problem.

I agree with you that it's just another media outlet
with a slant, but the government needs to start
treating them like it.

What, specifically, do you want done here? Should it apply to Hacker News as well -- should HN no longer be able to curate its content?
Actually Chrome on Linux doesn't use hardware acceleration for video playback and never did, while the most recent Firefox almost does, if one turns a couple of experimental knobs.

The Computer Chronicles: Operating Systems (1984)
No, fair use is not "presumed." Exclusive use by the creator is presumed, since the text of the Constitution literally says "exclusive rights."

At the time the Constitution was written, society profited when people sold their inventions or creative works. And the purpose of patent law was to reward people for inventing or creating by allowing them to recoup the costs of inventing and creating.

There was no fair use exception back then; courts were extremely harsh on copyright and patent law offenders. It wasn't until Congress codified "fair use" into the law in the 1970s. https://msu.edu/~mcgrat71/Writing/Fair_Use_Rife.pdf

It gets into the realm of speculation with partial facts, but you can make a pretty good case that Biden was involved with replacing one corrupt stooge with another one, who then just happened to drop all investigations into Hunter Biden's shady employer. Matt Taibbi has done some good reporting on this lately.

You could cast doubt on Taibbi or an any narrative that fills in the blanks in some places, but compare to the fevered Russia-conspiracy talk that got mainstream credibility, Rachel Maddow features, WaPo editorial references, etc for years. Is one so much worse than the other? Or is it just a matter of which side it favors in the short-term?
One layer of the internet is about packets, another is about ordered sequential streams — and both are widely supported protocols. Above these could potentially sit a dissemination layer, retaining and persisting anything of interest. But in a legal system where information can be speech or property, it is problematic to do that as a standard protocol. Instead we have archive.org, The Archive Team, BitTorrent, and a million progressively less durable options from there, including some of us running youtube-dl on videos of interest, grabbing PDF’s off Arxiv, SSRN, etc. I’m not sure what to do about any of this except a yearly donation to archive.org, and accepting the great distributed fitness function of fate.

I generally try to avoid racist people, because they'll treat me and many of my friends poorly. That's what "racism" meant in the culture I was brought up in - a racist person was by definition one who treated certain races poorly.

Because of that, it's very hard for me to have normal interactions with people who explicitly identify as racist, even if they say they're a special kind of racist who intends to treat me well.

> That's debatable. You admit it's a rag, that publishes some of the lowest quality journalism. It's also very politically biased, in a way that damages the very fabric of society. Restricting its reach is the responsible thing to do in their case.

While I agree with you, something in your comment made me think. "What does not kill you makes you stronger". Maybe the test of our times is that we as a society learn how to ignore the trash ourselves, or if we do not learn the lesson, we perish. Do we want to learn to ignore, or learn to police?
IANAL but in California that sounds like grounds for a lawsuit or even criminal prosecution. (Assuming you found out about it, of course.)

See https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio.... It's pretty clear.
I suspect there's at least a small dose of ultra privilege of googlers involved too.

The same way governments and bureaucrats fuck up things like Covid responses, because they can't even imagine people not having 9-5 office jobs which are totally suited to WFH, and then blithely implement disease protection schemes failing to account for low income and precariously employed people, many of whom are working 3 jobs to pay the bills (including stuff like cleaning jobs where they work at 4 or 5 different old people's homes) - and then wonder why outbreaks spread so fast.

Googlers have probably forgotten the olden times, when they didn't have Gigabit connections to their pockets and lounge rooms, and don't even remember last time they wanted to "save a copy into a hard drive locally, like a hilarious boomer!"...
Everyone might have to start considering and addressing the needs of these people instead of ignoring them. The reason people are so exploitable is because those in power, who have intelligence and access to good information, seemingly despise the masses. At the very least dismiss them with contempt and ignore them.

The correct answer is to treat everyone as a worthy person, regardless of their intellectual prowess. The current left, with their self professed mission for the underdog, are the worst about this. The contempt a person must have for their fellow man in order to deem them as unworthy of free speech, is gut wrenching. Instead, we should be finding ways to make socially responsible ideas more accessible and inclusive for _everyone_.
Hey Tom. Ya, I would guess that making some kind of material to get end users to understand this would be more challenging than getting us programmers to :) (and probably half the fun of the project).
Thanks, I haven’t reached out but mostly seek help on SO.
I am sure this is a huge relief to the Blue Origin folks to have these issues if not fixed, at least understood so that they can be fixed and the engine put into production.

Slightly more powerful than the SpaceX Raptor (550 lbf for the BE-4 vs 500 lbf Raptor) both engines are designed for re-use. As the BE-4 gets closer to production, and the Raptor gets some flight tests under its belt, a clearer picture on the thrust to weight and dynamic range of throttling will become better understood.

But the really awesome thing is three orbital class re-usable engines available from US vendors for the first time ever. This bodes well for the US space industry. Not so good for Aerojet/Rocketdyne which, in my opinion, has basically rested on its laurels as the "only game in town" for US built engines for far too long.

I'm not equivocating any news source. My stance on this is that there should be NO censorship, period.
I am super curious, if this software is open source and the most damning aspect of this case is likely to come down to non-software specific factors like the inclusion of copywrited material (from big name artists) in the unit tests and README and such, what would be the result is someone with the repo just scrubbed the README, refactorfed the unit tests to rid them of any tests on copywrited material, changed the name to something generic like webvid-archiver or some such and rereleased it?
Yeah. Like they re-thought the wall or feed or messenger as a separate app. All of which got negative feedback.
I think that the consideration of arguments against extending human longevity is very flippant, and deserves some serious pushback. As Max Planck pointed out, ”A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”

Regardless of that, given the veneer of rationality in discussions of this topic (not just this source, but more generally) are there any strong arguments for extending human lifespans? The four reasons following “Because death is bad” (including footnote 4) seem like a superficial analysis based on a cartoonish model/philosophy of life.

Personally, it seems far more useful to think about how we might make human life happier and more meaningful; longevity research seems particularly pointless & banal as it is unlikely to improve well-being in any significant way in and of itself. (I’m not referring to preventing unnatural mortality, but extending median lifespan). (This is somewhat opinionated, and of course, others are welcome to alternative opinions.)
Any reading material you would suggest? I do wonder how much of the raging conflict is organic vs paid, and how much organic afterglow one gets from paying for a certain campaign.

If your theory is correct much of this kerfuffle will dry up right after the election, along with the funding.
Why would you vaccinate children for something which is less deadly than the flu? This is the case even up to 60 years old.

Right, that makes far more sense. I should have known I was missing something as it's ridiculous on the face of it. Thanks!
CNN? Are you being facetious?
I wouldn't even try to guess either way - there's zero statistics for genetic manipulation of the human brain and some stats for brain surgery.

Comparing few data points to none just doesn't allow for any intuition about the safety of either compared to the other.
