One of my instructors way back at Cornell was a grad student named Kevin Walsh, now an associate professor at Holy Cross, who had solved this problem in a bit of a radical way. Context was that back then you had Gnutella, LimeWire etc.—peer-to-peer types of networks—and you wanted to be able to enable people to rank media a certain number of "stars" for its quality because otherwise people post not-safe-for-life content with nice endearing names and others mass-download that content and then get grossed out. But you publish this and then people immediately use the anonymity afforded by the Internet to spam the upvote button as they distribute their garbage.

My understanding from Walsh was that the problem was essentially an economics problem—you want to incentivize good behavior and deincentivize bad behavior—and once you understood this you could use the network to correct itself, essentially saying “if you use your upvotes like the typical user does then the typical user will trust you, if you use your upvotes like the typical spammer does then you’ll instead end up in a clique with typical spammers.”

Some googling reveals that the page is still alive on cornell.edu [1].

I didn't mention it earlier, but I'm processing the video locally on the user's device. The video and derived data are also stored locally and I'm not using any user data to construct a dataset.

So far, the only time data leaves the user's phone is to allow them to share the video and data to others (ex. for social media or to coaches).

I'll definitely look into face blurring if I try to build a dataset in the future.
I used Facebook in 2006 and it already was taking over MySpace. I don't know where you got 2015 from, because how ISPs are treated has no impact on social media.
Examples please. Specifically examples in this article would be nice. If there are so many problems here, what are they?
Important to note though that they are not retroactively changing anything. The license for old code was and remains Apache and can be used under those terms.

Elastic are of course entirely entitled to change the license to whatever they feel like, including closing the source entirely for future development. But they made the choice at an earlier stage to release the code under a permissive licence - that was a choice to allow others to do what they want with the software, not just “what you want so long as it doesn’t infringe on our business model”. They are free to change their mind on that, but it’s not like it’s an unexpected, unfair, or unpredictable outcome.
>This ensures you can recover your Messages if you lose access to iCloud Keychain and your trusted devices.

This seems crazy to me. I understand that the problem of losing your key is a troublesome one, but this seems analogous to storing important information in a safe then taping the key to the safe so you're never in a position where you can't open it.

If the FBI thinks it's a great idea that should be reason number one not to do it, at least when it comes to data security.
Sci-Hub Is a PRIVATE Company. They can ban who they like. Period.
My next project will be a "Cat poo detector" - this will live in the cat's litter tray and detect whatever gasses are released when it is used. This will be used so I can know if I can have a lazy weekend morning in bed or if I need to go downstairs and clean up.
Subsidize? I think it's the opposite. Mining parasitizes on the cheapness of electric power.
I like it but I wish that I could "run"... Also, I got something very similar to this done to my home when I sold it last year with Redfin (basically for free because the commission was lower then with anyone else).
Minikube uses a 9p FS for sharing files between host and VM. Fairly easy to implement, and runs completely in user space
Unclear from my 5 minutes of internet research.

The #5 on their list of farmland owners (the infographic at the top of the page) has ~60% the farmland of the Gates family.

It's also worth noting that #2-5 rank 81, 81, 94, and 99 on the overall 2020 Land Report 100 -- and Gates doesn't rank at all. So a lot of people own a lot more land, but almost no one owns nearly as much farmland in the US.

Well the iCloud backups not being encrypted yet is a serious problem.

Weirdly, this isn’t news - anonymous sources have said before that it was due to FBI pressure.

But this doesn’t have anything to do with Apple logging locations.

If sneak’s claim was correct, there would be nothing we could do about it.

If we’re talking about iCloud backups, at the very least you can turn those off and do them locally.

I’m pretty sure that even if e2e backups do come, they won’t be on by default because of the problem of users managing their own keys.
I agree, personally I think POTUS and other government officials should even be banned (not by twitter but by law) to officially uses such private forums.

I had some coverage in Hackaday some months ago. They were very kind to make a post about it. But apart that I havent had much. I dont use social networks so spreading the word is sometimes difficult!
I think their point has merit. It isn't don't use DoH, it is don't use DoH outside your network and outside your control as it has been/can be exploited by 3rd parties. CISA, as the article points out, made the same argument, it isn't that DoH is bad, it is that a 3rd party DoH provider can actually do malicious things hidden from the IT admins and staff, making identifying a malicious endpoint the user was served via DNS harder.

I am not above thinking any government agency might put out disinformation to protect a source/access, but this one seems like a reasonable position to take on security.
I can understand that. Intel builds run just fine. But once you try the ARM64 build, it really flies and you can’t go back.

> I don't think I could reasonably expect a person from a journalism/liberal arts degree educational and work experience background to identify steganography.

I agree with nearly everything you said, except this.

As others have noted, this sort of document tracing has been deployed and well-known for a long time. I would expect investigative journalists working the NatSec beat to have read a bit of other NetSec investigative journalism, and mention of things like this come up fairly regularly. Not to mention, contact with people like security researchers, EFF staff, etc. will all tend to expose you to information like this - it is part of the paranoid air people who discuss this stuff breathe.

Also, a bit of tradecraft is just part of an investigative journalist's job.

If I recall correctly, the Intercept people weren't accused (by anyone serious) of intentionally outing her, just of being dangerously incompetent to collaborate with.

Show HN: A Brief History of Yesterday
Everyone wants to open source their code until someone else makes a billion dollars of it. Everyone wants censorship resistant end to end encryption until terrorists use it. Everyone wants software patents to not exist until they get issued a really good one.

This is a classic case of trying to put the genie back in the bottle.

Given Australia's general stance on biosecurity, I imagine would not only refuse to pay him seizure of property, but consider fining him for breaching biosecurity rules.

Causing an international incident would be considered a bonus for the publicity it would create.

I love exploring the futures that never happened. We often find interesting solutions for problems we created along our current path that wouldn't happen in other possible timelines.
I think you're overthinking the point. If someone's position is that company or industry x is inherently bad then they're going to see any protective behaviors by those companies as also bad because all those protections are doing is prolonging the existence of the root problem.

It made things worse and we ended the experiment after a couple days. I don't have links handy right now but may try to dig them up later*. It turns out that there's no faster way to politicize everything than to try something that simplistic. Wherever the optimum is for regulating the intense pressures HN is under, it's much less obvious than that.

It was a success in the sense that we learned a lot. If anyone wants to know about that, a lot of it is in the explanations here:

Slice of the pie: How a CA pizza shop successfully became a worker-owned coop
I think more APIs and libraries should develop high-quality tooling to go along with them. An editor that understands the language I'm writing is very powerful, but an editor that understands the semantics and idioms of the library I'm using would be incredible. RubyMine is a great example of this for Rails.
Yep. Lifting heavy is also good because it doesn't take very long and it's far easier to go high intensity for a few reps than medium intensity for many reps. Just gotta be careful to have proper form and not injure ourselves.
Git's syncing system is custom and unique also.

But yes I agree.

I'm finally getting things down on paper (writing code) to flesh out my ideas of visual programming. I'm currently using Racket to prototype things, learning its Graphical Interface Toolkit. There's a long road ahead though, with a lot of technical challenges to appropriately realize the virtues of the paradigm, which I feel has a much higher ceiling than text-based languages. What is frustrating is that I have had the ideas for the past 4-8 years, but I am finally just getting things going.

The key government failure in the US, at least since a total failure by the white house to seize the moment early on, is republicans seizing mask-wearing as a wedge issue. Following the most simple measures such as masks would effectively solve the issue enough for vaccines to catch up. Cynical exploitation of ignorance in the people by republicans has been the true societal failure in this pandemic.
Sounds like they were about to go out of business without an acquisition, so I'm not sure how vital it was: it wasn't working to create a profitable business in the first place.

I can attest to that. I became mostly vegan, because I had a new friend who was vegan and I started to cook with them in mind. It's fun and challenging, invites for experimentation.

My question is: "Why are you pursuing a PhD if you want to end up as a data scientist?"

I've known a surprisingly large number of people that are mid-phd thinking about data science as a career. Don't pursue 5+ years of learning to master the world of academic research if your goal is to help people sell t-shirts or whatever.

Certainly there are some people pursuing specific PhDs, such as those in computer vision and nlp where there are some industry options that might offer more challenging/interesting research than academia. It makes sense if you're a PhD at NYU or Stanford in CS fields related to neural networks to go work for Yann Lecun at Facebook or Geoffrey Hinton at Google.

But if you're, say a biologist that wants to sell clothes online... why spend 6 years working in academia to do that? Is your dream really to optimize clothing sales? If so don't be a biologist. If your dream is biology, why in the world would you set your course on selling clothes?

I get it if your dream is biology but you can't find a tenure track job and so you pivot to industry... but if you are mid-phd, what are you doing there? If you love your subject, try to find a way to work in that and if you don't, don't waste your time.

Data Science is not a glamorous job, and the vast majority of companies it is literally bullshit. The people solving mind-bendingly hard problems are already in programs specializing in those problems because that's what they are passionate about. On top of that DS is way over indexed at most companies. If you're mid-phd now I would expect a serious contraction in DS jobs in the next 5 years. DS will be a niche job after the next market "correction"
For my first trip to Poland I learned how to say “Sorry, I can’t speak Polish“ in Polish, with a perfect BBC Polish accent. I figured it was the least I could do. Unfortunately, it was treated as a NOP. People would simply repeat what they said but with even more explanation. In retrospect I can imagine that if someone said “sorry, I can’t speak English“ in an accent in English I might make the same mistake.

A couple of years later I ended up with a beautiful Polish girlfriend and she spoke no English. In six weeks with the help of a pocket phrase book and Polish/English dictionary constantly by my side I could hold a conversation in Polish perfectly well. The things that motivate us…

Fun story:
At work, we were learning how to use a new browser tool that was put together at the last minute. Plenty of people were having trouble logging in, so the instructor had one of the people share their screen so he could help. The user's profile showed: "name: null", which prompted someone to observe "I see your name is null, too". I interrupted with "yes, it is a family name".
Good laughs were had.
Yup. When I was a kid there was nothing to do inside. We were outside most of the time, riding bikes, building forts, wriggling through the storm drains, built a gokart, biking everywhere, impromptu games with the neighborhood kids who were also outside, throwing rocks, climbing trees, all very ordinary stuff for the times. I even tried to build an airplane out of scrap lumber, much to my dad's great amusement. Using a hand saw would sure make my arm ache :-)

There are a lot of kids in my neighborhood, but I never see them. They're inside presumably playing video games.

Yep, lying about it is why they're being sued:

We talk about the root cause all the time, but there is nothing illegal about any of it. Everyone wants to change it, but there is no consensus on how.

Born out of personal need for it, A system for automatic creation of on-demand/listen again episodes for radio stations.

Basically just takes the url of an existing stream and then segments it up into 10 seconds audio clips, then a second process stitches the clips together between two time stamps to give us a complete episode, the benefit being that if we forget to schedule an episode we can just post a job for it to be generated at any time.

I have been working on TinyGem as a passion project that is turning into something more.

It is a bookmarking service with 'smart' content discovery using pretty advanced machine learning/NLP capabilities.

Bookmarking service feature automatic discovery of HN/Reddit/Twitter discussions, article summaries, private/public feeds, tags, search and ability to follow other users.

Discovery feature is interesting. It automatically uses links you saved as a seed for your interests and surfaces related and relevant content related only from curated sources like HN, reddit, tildes, github trending ... using machine learning with few other twists (it doesnt show content on websites that have a lot of ads etc).
