You are missing the entire point of why this is a horrible thing to begin with! They have to develop new encryption circumvention technology for this one surveillance which weakens encryption for everyone using the encryption technology.

Its exactly like if you were to force the creator of PGP to build a backdoored version of PGP with the right windows signatures or something. You could just say, "it will only be for new emails for the specific mailbox, as the rest are already encrypted", but then you are missing the point entirely.

BTW germany is currently in the process of shoving a new law though the EU which will effectively destroy all encrypted services in europe (by means of forcing backdoors/secondary keys). Just for context.
Even right next to the antenna, wires will have less latency and packet loss than wireless.

Its calories per mile, and I think the bike wins by a landslide!

The speed of a bike ride is roughly proportional to the smoothness or the trail. So to be economical, the bike would need to beat walking etc. So a smooth(er) trail would be a win.
The rest of that paragraph says:
> beyond a select few, similarly expensive places.

Nobody's putting Boston and NYC on the list of cheap places to live, any more than SF.

That said, someone in a different part of this thread brought up Chicago, which seems plausible! Though I haven't been there enough to know if that's true! (Though when I visited, their transit definitely was very good).
This seems to be in regards to potentially exposing corruption.
This would definitely give you more and better information — if you could know that the samples were definitively from the candidate.

I’ve interviewed candidates who were clearly not the person on the phone screen, for example.
This could be real.

Yeah, it's not.

The saying goes "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", not "extraordinary claims must come from one important-sounding guy."

Companies here in Ohio do both RSU and bonuses. Sometimes one or the other, sometimes a mix as part of total compensation.
In principle I agree with you--this is one of the biggest pathologies of our time.
There's a difference between mere acceptance (legal and social), and ability to flourish, no? And banning conversion therapy, that seems like a super low bar for LGBT friendliness. I am merely tolerated where I currently live, but when I was in the SFBA I had a whole community, recurring events, and there was much more visiblity to LGBT people than there is where I am now.

I suggest not wasting your time reading surveys of general philosophy or taking some sort of 'intro' course in comparative philosophy. That's an academic route, and probably won't lead you anywhere. Unfortunately, it's likely the most common response you'll get here.

I'd start by asking yourself a simple question: who do you admire most? Look at what values and 'philosophy' they have. Learn more about what's behind them. Dig deeper. There is no particular path here; you're asking an age-old question that doesn't have a clear answer. Your values are the root of any 'philosophy' you might have. Get clear about your values, then look around.
> The fame and fortune around an artist are nearly entirely the product of the mythology surrounding them and the connections they have with other influential people rather than their output.

Sure, there is an element of storytelling, the ability of the artist to become a brand somehow, and another is the connections. For an artist to rise to fame, being in the right place at the right time, or rather, we should say, going to that place plays a role. But that is still an oversimplification.

To rise to super-fame, beyond the enticing or compelling story element and getting the connections to influential people, you've got to pull out the works. All those artists shipped; they were more creative and productive than the others, regardless of the quality/legacy of their oeuvre.
> Maybe baskets on the back for light stuff (straw, pots).

I get the impression half the comments on here are from people who've never actually used a bicycle.

So does this woman sitting on the rear rack: https://arnejj.org/wp-content/uploads/Foto_Bruntlett_Buildin...

This girl carried her dad for 1,200km, and my guess is the Indian roads aren't as smooth as I'm used to: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/more-sports/cycli...

But maybe you meant baskets like this: https://previews.123rf.com/images/cataplines/cataplines1204/...

Carrying weight in pannier bags on the rear rack is much preferable to wearing it on a backpack.
Crypto tribalism aside, you got two technical points fundamentally wrong about the cryptography:
1) snarks are fast now. It takes 3 seconds on a pixel phone for Zcash.

2)The decoy based approaches Monero uses are subject to all kinds of passive and active attacks. Both in practice ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.04299/) and just fundamentally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s3EbSKDA3o. There are ways to mitigate some of these problems to a degree. This is why you hear Monero people talk about coin control and churning (both of which can make you stand out in other ways). But the fact that they have to mention that should tell you its far from a perfect solution cryptographically.

There's a reason projects go with the large anonymity set approach. And if you're a cryptographer at ConsenSys, you should know that: it's what Ethereum is doing with Aztec.
You also should know several projects, including Zcash, are working on trustless setup zk proofs.

(Disclosure: I am involved in Zcash.)

Ask HN: Using your laptop as a cheap front for your workstation?
Are there any people here that have a powerful work PC at home and a less powerful laptop that they use as a 'front' to work on their remote PC? How did you set this up/what do you use? RDP? Does the latency interfere with your work? Are spotty connections a big problem?
There was a guy on Better Call Saul like that.
One suggestion. I ran into a hiccup when I was setting up the Chrome extension. It asked for the API from my account. I copied the API and pasted it into the extension but it didn't seem to work when I tried sending an article. I went back to the extension setting and realized that when I pasted the API number it added it to the default text saying to go to listenlater for the api code. Once I manually deleted this and left the API key in everything worked. Maybe you can update so that when you click into the box to enter API the explanation text auto removes itself.
I assume you don't have kids stuck at home during covid. I have friends that are burning through 1TB of data a month like it's nothing. Between zoom/webex meetings all day for everyone in the family, and netflix in the evenings because they can't really go play with other friends, 1TB is a joke.
Heck, Cyberpunk 2077 is a 70GB download ALONE - that's 7% of your cap gone from you or your kid installing one game.
We generally accept that warrants are a reasonable solution when it comes to the state entering private property without permission for law enforcement purposes.

This also seems like a reasonable solution for encryption. The state here is not making or trying to make encryption illegal; and it is open about the fact that court authorisation is required to enforce a backdoor.
Bad hires are a fact of life. It's unavoidable. Hiring is a crapshot. Just like romantic relationships. Would you say, "I had a bad relationship once, so I'm going to grill every date to make sure something isn't seriously wrong with them"? With that attitude, you'll never have a relationship again.

Interviewing is a two-way street. Especially with senior engineers. You're trying to convince the candidate to work with you. After all, they could say no, and walk away. Moreover, nobody wants to work for an incompetent boss, and we know there are a ton of incompetent bosses out there. What if I, the job candidate, want to give you, the interviewer, a test to make sure you know what you're doing? Don't worry, I can give you a take-home test to do in your "spare time". ;-)

I don't think companies realize how many potential senior candidates they drive away with audition-style interviews. I've religiously avoided them, just never applying to companies who do them. I'll walk away if I don't like the hiring process.

Even if that were the case, selling your self-driving car unit might still make sense.

If you assume that self-driving cars eventually become a commodity, Uber and Lyft could just buy them rather than develop the tech in-house. The key strategic bit of the landscape to own would be the app that everyone uses to book them.
They actually lost the center booster, so not entirely nailed. Unfortunately we didn't get good imagery of that particular catastrophe, but if Starship goes down in flames it will be within reach of lots of ground-based cameras. Would make for pretty fireworks.
That's true. Flags aren't downvotes. They're meant exclusively for stories that don't belong on the front page of HN, at all. Using them as a simple downvote is an abuse, and doing that routinely can get your flag power quietly revoked. Flagging helps the site much more than it hurts it, but, like everything else, it's deeply imperfect; I've had banal submissions flagged myself. The thing to do when that happens is to mail hn@yc and ask for the flags to be lifted.
There a free app that lets you fly the Starship made by Austin Meyer [0]. I highly recommend anyone with an iOS device who is interested to give it a try.

However, we have gotten communication on the matter. What occurred has been explained:

She did not get a chance to offer up her resignation, Google terminated their employment relationship before that opportunity arose.

And thus, it is completely reasonable to boil it down to:

Google fired Timnit Gebru.

Words matter. Google is lying when they claim that Timnit Gebru resigned. Google should absolutely be called out for this lie.

> it’s kind of appalling that literally anyone would pay this much. It’s kind of appalling that Purism would charge this much. I can imagine a scheme where the parts are shipped from China, and verified and assembled by a part-time college student in the States and they’d likely still be able to price it cheaper than $1999.00.

There are definitely valid reasons not to buy Chinese products: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycott_Chinese_products. Also what are the other competing smartphones which are made in USA?
>“Trump was on the verge of revealing [aliens existence], but the aliens in the Galactic Federation are saying, ‘Wait, let people calm down first,'”

Please. Even if I could believe aliens hiding out in a secret base on Mars, there is no way on God's green earth I'm buying Trump choosing discretion as the better part of valor.

He'd be on Twitter blaming the Democrats for collaborating with alien invaders in a minute.

It seems as if making such UAV killer robot systems is easier than detecting and protecting against them.

They can't be jammed if they are truly autonomous and use computer vision + other sensors, probably very hard to detect on radar.

The only thing that comes to mind is dealing with the satellites that provide the initial intel. And those also could be replaced with drones.
See, and this is where I (and I'm guessing you) might beg to differ. I'm a web developer, so the vast majority of my time is spent working in JavaScript. Our team has been working in ES6 for the past ~2 years. Our lead developer just LOVES him some ES6 - destructuring, aliasing, lambdas, you name it, and he's all-in.

Me, though? Well, let's just put it like this: when we find some framework-level bug that's written in "clever" ES6 syntax, our first step in debugging is almost ALWAYS to rewrite the given function traditionally, without any of the ES6 shorthand. And the reason we do that is because reading and debugging a whole stack of anonymous lambda calls is a PAIN IN THE ASS. Or figuring out where a certain variable is coming from when someone uses overly-complex destructuring syntax to magically pull a value from deep within a nested object.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I do like and use almost all of the modern ES6 niceties, but I also feel like it's much more difficult to parse and understand code compared to what we were all writing a few years back. People will, I'm sure, be arguing about what constitutes "good code" for decades to come, but to me, when working in an evolving codebase, especially with other people, plain ol' human readability is paramount. If people can't figure out what your code is doing without throwing in a breakpoint and stepping through line-by-line, you've failed at writing good code. And this will be my opinion right up until the day humans stop writing code by hand.
Seriously. The idea that Seattle is somehow _far_ from nature can only be held by someone who never visited here. Or looked at a map.
Is it more efficient (and/or easier) to make ethanol to fuel an internal combustion engine, or instead to burn the fuel you would have used to distil the ethanol to fuel an external combustion engine? (i.e. a steam engine.)
What you're saying is true but I don't believe humans to be in any kind of "constrained environment" if more people can work on ad delivery and social media marketing than space exploration and environmental engineering combined.

> Isn't that precisely what spoofing is?

Not in my opinion. I’ve always thought of spoofing as a write only type thing where you can impersonate someone, but not have access to any of their existing data. Email spoofing is a good example of this.

Token theft is WAY more severe because it gives you complete access to everything. It’s total control. You can exfiltrate data and that’s what I’d consider the biggest difference, at least in my opinion.
In just two hours we discovered so much! Let's keep digging.
Less than 1% of emissions are from breath, which we can all agree is necessary and not currently above the CO2 re-absorption rate.

Here we are talking about achieving a more even Malliard reaction on flapjacks. Cooking may not be significant enough to worry about first either, I don't know, but it is a form of control (free choice of more evenly browned flapjacks for no choice of of someone else facing faster timeframe to be flooded out of their nation or city).
Yes, but are they eating dried foods covered in salt out of foil-lined bags as an anxiety reflex, or are they eating at mealtimes when they're hungry?

Ultimately all causes of obesity must be mediated by changes in food consumption behavior or metabolic rate. Very few things alter the metabolic rate; it's relevant to many medical conditions and widely studied. So we're left with foods that affect food consumption patterns.

Really, when we talk about foods that cause obesity, we're talking about foods that undermine the normal psychological function of hunger, either by not making you full, making you eat when you're not hungry, or making you continue to eat beyond fullness. Many processed foods are specifically tested, re-tested and optimized to increase these kinds of effects because it generates profits and there's no law against it (yet). There are no traditional diets that can make people fat as effectively as Doritos, for basically the same reason that there are no traditional medicines that treat myelogenous leukemia as well as imatinib.

"We started Zip2 with ~$2k from me plus my overclocked home-built PC, ~$5k from my bro & ~$8k from Greg Kouri (such a good guy — he is greatly missed).

Also relevant in that thread:

"He didn’t own an emerald mine & I worked my way through college, ending up ~$100k in student debt. I couldn’t even afford a 2nd PC at Zip2, so programmed at night & website only worked during day. Where is this bs coming from?"

That game will provide you plenty of content for that data. Anyway, just because a few people use ~1TB of data doesn't mean every LTE plan should provide 10TB. You are asking for a 500x increase in the typical LTE data plan.

Again, I disagree with the framing. Colonizing Mars and global warming are not wars, they are opportunities. There are countless ways humans can spend their time and energy but none of them exist in a vacuum. Progress anywhere is progress everywhere.
This analysis is interesting, but on the whole I don't think I like it. I'm sure there are bad actors in politics, but I think a whole lot of the multiple realities dynamic is explained by confirmation bias, motivated reasoning, &c, where most of the individuals involved are tricking themselves first.

I suspect this is even often true of the individuals who reach the correct answer on any particular question, whichever that may be.
> The idea that they can just start changing things without understanding how/why things were the way they were before.

Not exactly a novel proposition. The Europeans who arrived in what is now New England, or the Caribbean or yes, even Utah, felt much the same and acted like it too.
> Monero uses known, audited cryptographic primitives, elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman over curve25519, EdDSA signature over the twisted Edwards variant of the same curve, libsodium.

The cryptographic primitives in zcash are also audited.

It's also the case that the cryptography underlying the next generation of zkSNARKs (which will be used by zcash) is the same as what Monero uses for range proofs; it's trustless (or low trust).

> Monero uses zero-knowledge proofs for the range proof, cryptographically protects the sender, receiver and notional.

Again, this is an over-simplification; the anonymity set is smaller, and moreover more difficult to analyze.
Uh...not really. Tiny piece of shit houses built in the 60s still go for a million plus in much of the SFBA. The problem is there's a real housing shortage so there's untenable minimum prices for houses.

At a million dollars you need a fairly large household income to afford luxuries beyond your house. Even putting down 25% on the house with a good 30 year fixed rate loan you'd be looking at just under $4k a month for your mortgage. After utilities you're easily over $4k a month. If you scrimped you could maybe keep your other household costs under $500 a month (realistically you're looking at $1k). So you're looking at a take-home of $4.5-5k to just stay afloat.

That's all for a shitty house that needs work, doesn't have great insulation, and doesn't have a lot of usable space. If you're 30 when you buy they place you only have to keep that income until you're 60 or hope that you build a ton of equity in the meantime and cash out.

That's the minimum for most of the SFBA. There's plenty of places with even more outrageous prices for shitty houses. To buy a house for not completely outrageous prices you need to go pretty far afield with hour plus commutes.

Treating yourself to ramen once a week is not a luxury.
To be clear I (the original poster in this thread) have lived without a car in the bay area for almost a decade, and I don't Uber anywhere.

NYC is definitely more walkable--and just as expensive. Boston is about as walkable, I think (I haven't spent much time there)--and also pretty expensive!
