For CIA documentation, search FOIA reading room for "PROJECT CENTER LANE"

Here's a quote from a special access program briefing transcript[1]:

Over 85% of our operational missions have produced accurate target information. Even more significant, approximately 50% of the 700 missions produced usable intelligence.

Note that 50% is not "no better than chance" because the data produced are not binary selections, but things that other intelligence sources give, such as structure layouts, facility purposes, machine blueprints, site and personnel locations.

The FOIA documentation is overwhelming in its confirmation of this as an intelligence sensor on par with other sources, which leads me to believe that the AIR report (which you can also search for online) was partially disinfo designed to soften the blow of releasing that this is possible, and I'm quite sure that government and corporate use of psi continues to this day. Perhaps the FOIA release was also part of a limited hangout designed to yield some control over the narrative and provide a pretext for dismissal to protect ongoing classified programs.

Here's a MS Strategic Intelligence thesis from the Defense Intelligence College that gives a good overview:

> possession is illegal

AFAIK this is not an absolute, global truth. IANAL, but I do know the stance on CP (e.g. anime, ages of wedding, written-Lolita- etc differ per region. Legal and cultural).

In many countries, possession of certain books is illegal. Possession of blueprints of weapons is illegal and so on.

Point being: banning CP is still a moral choice, made by the operators of the site, not some absolute, global common baseline.
You are right, the programmer still has to think. But with builtin taint it's harder to overlook something because it forces you to consider everything.

I have a friend who is a long time C++ developer. Every time we discuss C++ he tells me that memory errors can be easily avoided in C++ if you have a certain level of competency. Someone still developed Rust because of this issue and it is popular.

Wave particle duality used to stress me out before I read Feynman talk about it.

"Things on a very small scale behave like nothing that you have any direct experience about. They do not behave like waves, they do not behave like particles, they do not behave like clouds, or billiard balls, or weights on springs, or like anything that you have ever seen.....

There is one lucky break, however—electrons behave just like light. The quantum behavior of atomic objects (electrons, protons, neutrons, photons, and so on) is the same for all, they are all “particle waves,” or whatever you want to call them. So what we learn about the properties of electrons (which we shall use for our examples) will apply also to all “particles,” including photons of light."
I can't speak to Broadcom's motivations, but the end result has certainly been that they are the least open source-friendly WiFi vendor, behind Qualcomm-Atheros, Mediatek, Marvell and Intel (client only). When Linksys wanted to do a successor to the WRT54 series trading on its open source reputation, Broadcom wasn't an option because they've made themselves the NVIDIA of WiFi.

> If someone is already causing a pre-planned disturbance a mile away while you are speaking, it’s impossible to argue that the words were an incitement to imminent lawless action in that case.

Its not if people hearing your words join in the disturbance. (There’s other ways it could, as well.) Again, the fact that a disturbance is under way does not make it impossible for someone to commit incitement with regard to that disturbance. Repeating the same false claim doesn’t make it any less false.
You can do this with any language with a type system by wrapping reads with a 'Tainted' type.

ie:

fn safe_read(path: str) -> Tainted<IO> {
Tainted(unsafe_read(path))
}

And then you can apply functions to Tainted<IO> or whatever type that convert it into something structured / validated.

So long as your functions only take in those validated types (ie: you do not write functions that take str) you can ensure that new reads will fail to typcheck without first parsing.

To be honest this is how most programs I see work anyways, at least in typed languages. Few work directly on strings. But they do it naturally, without enforcement - so like, a function might take a 'str', but the 'str' passed in was parsed into a wrapping structure already.
I don’t have a citation in front of me at four in the morning, but I distinctly recall this exact argument being made prior to the First World War - that the increasing trade between the major powers precluded war because the financial interests were too powerful.

With modern JavaScript you can easily cast a NodeList to an Array, e.g. `let spansArray = [...element.querySelectorAll("span")]`.

I find both `element.nextElementSibling` and `element.next()` to be examples of poor API design. The former one is more verbose than needed while the latter one is so short you can't even tell whether it's a method or a property.
What matters is wealth inequality by top 5 to 1%. Some wealth inequality between the lowest 80% to the top 20% to 5%, on which devs are, is actually somehow desired - ensures that people are going to work those harder jobs, requiring more responsibility.

This does not mean that devs are supposed to earn millions, but 2x or 3x average salary is not the inequality that's ethically bad.

except most of it goes to tax, when you want to transfer money from your company account to personal.

In case of Sweden, minimum %54 to pay salary to yourself from your contract/freelancing company. Then you pay %25 VAT when you buy anything. As an individual, you would pay a hefty %76 marginal tax in Sweden from that base earning.

That also explains why salaries are lower. Because there are hidden costs to employer.
I think the confusion stems from the fact that it should be illegal for a private business to censor someone. But that does not preclude the democratically created law from censoring someone, as interpreted by the judiciary.

The issue in the US has been that the executive and judiciary part of the state did nothing for four years.

I've already seen visas like this popping, under "digital nomad" visas, but none of them are in "developed" (ex. G7) countries. I suspect those will be the last to adopt them, since they don't really need the tax/tourism dollars as much. For them, the primary purpose of immigration is to fill jobs in the country, which remote workers don't do.

The funny thing is, who would Twitter care more about? Polish government anti-censorship, or wider corporate governance issues vis-a-vis its shareholders and US regulators? I know where I'd put my money.

Plus, who is to decide what content is violating the country's laws? Surely not courts - they would be inundated with every little petty hate comment or reference to Nazis. So it will have to be the platform anyway. And incitement to violence, hate, racial discrimination etc. are already illegal in Poland, so Twitter could go on banning whatever they like.

The government would like the enforcement of these laws to be very selective, but as said, in practice, it won't be the up to the government to say what is and what isn't legal content.
I'm not sure what the right balance is, but I feel there is a slight aspect of _we can't have it all_. We're not prepared to have a debate in the UK about what the NHS should and shouldn't do, yet at the same time people are living longer and want to pay less tax. Something has to give.

Tbh, I'm happy to save for my retirement, but I'm slightly biased towards a slightly less welfare society (though not as far as removing essential support and health care). I can choose to save more now for an earlier retirement, for example. I think the auto enrollment has gone a long way there.

Well, if I'm in an intersection or something, and there's a bicyclist coming from the other direction, I usually... dunno... look at them? They usually look back. Somehow makes it much easier to read the other person and see where they are going.

Agree with this take, being in the upper 10% of salaries in Sweden gave me perspective on how wide of a gap there is between myself, some friends working other office jobs (accountants, architects) and some in more blue collar work. I don't feel like I deserve a much higher salary than what I have for this society, I'll be honest and say that sometimes I feel ashamed of earning so much more than some friends given that my job isn't really that important for society.
I’m curious to read more about this currency safety metric. Where do you find this?
Indeed! We weren't talking about the 1st Amendment, but let's go where you lead: speech likely to incite imminent lawless action is illegal. Courts decide if that applies. Someday you might say "Politician Y should be hung by his thumbs". Politician Y and friends try to convince a judge that you thereby incite imminent lawless action. Of course, you were just feeling passionate, and no one reasonable would believe that you meant it. Thankfully, due to strong 1A protections, the case would not proceed.

But if you wrote that on a site hosted on AWS, there is nothing in principle from Amazon taking the platform down. Politician Y calls his buddy Jeff Bezos, and fwoomp! Gone. This should be concerning.
It’s true that many well-meaning people are idealists, when they would be well served by dialectical materialism. Thankfully, a union is a materialist endeavour of people that understand no amount of asking nicely will bring about as much change as the threat of a strike. Members tend to be quite realistic and class consciousness in my experience.

Why would union members assume the risk of being fired just to give everyone in the company control over the fruits of that risk? If you want democratic control over your workplace, you can collectively act together with your coworkers. That’s all a union is. The funds are collected to further that goal, often to protect workers from retaliation.

Not really true. Being a dev in sweden does not put you in the mid-upper class (lawyers, doctors, footballers, celebrieties, bankers, management consulting)

FAANG salaries would help close that gap.
I don’t think what the GP found disturbing was civilian control of the military, but the distance between the decisionmakers choosing to go to war and the people bearing the cost, which is not significantly different in systems which lack civilian control of the military than those that have it.
"In science it is rather more important to find out the right answer than to identify an answer that will fit one’s currently ruling paradigm."

"Following Trump’s Twitter ban, Polish government wants to protect posts that do not break nation’s laws"

Sorry for OT but what about a simple small time private AWS user like me who uses it for static hosting my blog and stuff.

Does that mean someone could request a lot of files, over and over, to increase my bill? Or is that served by some cache?

Let's say for example I host Mastodon media on S3, about 30G of unique data. Could someone use that to increase the cost of my bill?

I do of course have a budget alert set but I have to react to that alert too.
I think they’ll avoid paying whatever Amazon charges. And I don’t think Amazon will pursue it either. “How about you just let this lawsuit go and we’ll forget about that massive bill you have to pay?”
"Free Speech" applies to everyone. Claiming it's just a thing for governments is just a massive display of both ignorance and arrogance.

Put bluntly: I don't care if the constitution of some country on another continent decides to only specifically protect people from government censorship. I care about as much as I do about the Chinese or Australian or Tongan legal systems.

Last time I checked HN wasn't an exclusively American community (If I was mistaken about that, I'll be happy to fuck off to somewhere else), so it really annoys me to the extreme when people hear "free speech" and just assume we're talking about USA Law. We're not. We're talking about ethics and what is the right thing to do, not from a regional legal perspective, but from a social and human perspective.

So to all 'Muricans reading this: Nobody cares about the constitution of some undemocratic shithole on the other side of the pond. Get over it.

And to all the reasonable people from the USA: I'm honestly sorry that a few ass-hats are giving you a bad name online. I hope you don't mind that I just had to let off some steam from all the political BS the internet has been shoving in my face as of late.

I'm not actually making that argument, I was thinking in terms of economies of scale or just that some features or services are so cheap and incidental for a huge player that they end up squashing minors almost by accident. In those cases you can make a case they are doing harm, but being alive causes harm (environmental for example). You've got to draw the line somewhere.

Dumping is tricky. I am actually sympathetic to the argument that says let them dump away. If China is subsidising cheap solar panels and manipulating their currency to make them even cheaper again, fine. Let's gorge ourselves on cheap solar panels. That's fine in theory, but the reality is more complex. What about long term investment in technology development? Control of strategic technologies? These apply to tech services too. I use Google Doc heavily, but I do worry that they are pricing out potentially innovative competition.

This is the original statement: "Believe me, Trump people were not scaling the wall. So there's nothing to it that he incited anything."

I have to say, if you don't recognize the ambiguity it contains, you don't have a strong grasp on the language or you were not reading what was written. He's either saying that they weren't Trump people or that they weren't scaling the walls. It's not obvious which one he means.
>the mechanism that prevents wealth inequality

False, this mechanism only prevents income inequality but not wealth inequality as existing wealth is not taxed much in Europe.

For example, inheritances, assets and properties are not taxed much in Europe (people scream double taxation if you propose that) but income is taxed substantially so you'll never be able to save enough to catch up to the upper classes who own assets.

So actually, in some European countries, while having low income inequality because of high income taxes, you end up with huge wealth inequality due to untaxed inheritances, assets and overvalued properties rolled over across multiple generations to the point where Germany's top 10% own two thirds of the country's wealth:

https://www.iamexpat.de/expat-info/german-expat-news/germany...

To level the playing field and reduce wealth inequality, a sound policy would be to tax income less and tax inheritances and assets more but fat chance of that ever happening as that would be a blow to the ruling class.
