So far it hasn't been an issue. Even when people aren't on the platform, they usually respond to the "Hey I want to send you $50 email".

Another suggestion I've had for abandoned funds is to redistribute across the repo. i.e. A $100 issue for OBS was closed/abandoned/etc, so the $100 is split and the remaining OBS issues get $100/n added to the bounty.

I've been taking 5k IU of vitamin D since right about when all the "racism is the real virus" talk started happening, under the assumption that sun exposure/geography/seasonality/skin color and vitamin D go hand-in-hand.

There's definitely some socioeconomic factor with jobs and living situation that would lead to higher viral "inocula" but it seems all too possible that someone in the northeast with darker skin probably doesn't have enough vitamin D, even possibly profoundly so.

With containers, both the kernel and the hypervisor are shared. With vms, only the hypervisor is shared.

It's a matter of having a smaller attack surface. There are plenty of container images that run with root access by default, which is almost full access to the kernel. This means that if the application running in the container is compromised, you need to rely on the kernel enforcing the sandbox between containers. This is a relatively new threat (root not being fully trusted), so beyond there simply being more attack surface, there's likely to be more bugs/vulns out there to be discovered. With effort and care you can safely run this but reducing attack surface is a good idea for defense in depth.
We have a nonprofit here in Slovenia that does exactly that, but puts Linux on them and gives them away to those who can't afford a computer.

That’s my point... I’m not saying space X is bad or irresponsible, they are just different (and I think in a good way). Agree SN8 was amazing! And something NASA would never have done. Nor would they livestream it, nor keep it available on their website.
Strawman here: Let's say there was a large corporation that owned an airline. Can they not you on the airline because you are a spanish matador? Airlines leak into our tax system: we protect the air space, fund traffic control, etc. This is where I get pissed off. If you are this large you are no longer a "private commercial property".
This is standard practice at large companies with proper data controls. Usually they have a "break glass" feature for emergencies and don't let any humans access PII without a damn good reason.
There's no placement new in Rust? That's disappointing.
For code, I could see it being super useful for a beefed up auto-complete. There are many times I find myself searching for things like "how do I do X in Y language" to copy a snippet that I'm sure has been written 10000x times before. I can review the code and verify its correctness by writing tests.

I don't think this claim is accurate. Federal, state, and local law enforcement have always been happy to investigate and suppress nonviolent protest activity (much of it from the left).

Other commenters have pointed out the FBI's involvement. Other state overreactions that immediately come to mind:

I can tell you're deep into Physics as I am. To be honest I was presenting the "Standard Model" the way a professor would explain it to a student, who is trying to explain QFT using the conventional beliefs held by most of the Physics community.

I agree with everything you said, actually, except for this one sentence which you stated which I know is some kind of typo, because I doubt you think it's true: "Before a measurement takes place, the movement of electrons is predicted by a deterministic equation, there is no probability." That sentence goes against conventional wisdom so I doubt you meant it litterally.

Anyway, if you want my own personal unproven belief (theory) here it is: (or a few aspects of it)

I think our universe is a 3D (excluding time) manifold that is an event horizon in a larger higher dimensional space and what we call "Wave Collapse" is actually the point where an actual existing real particle does travel across our manifold. That is, anything that we can assign a position to in spacetime coordinates is also "on" this manifold. You can also call this manifold our "universe".

So when something exists in what we call "Probability Wave" state that just means we haven't yet done something to pinpoint a particle "on" this (our) event horizon. Unless someone is a very good geometry mathematician they cannot really comprehend how our entire universe can be a "surface" in some a higher-dimensional space, and since it's unproven I generally don't bring it up on HN. I also believe all N-Dimensional spaces contain (N-1)-Dimensional constructs inside them. The example in our unsivers is 'black holes'. We see 2D (i.e (3-1)D) constructs where our physics fails and even have proven their informational content is proportional to surface area (Hawking+Susskind). Most people think black holes are 3D spheres, but they're really 2D surfaces to their "inhabitants". Similarly the higher dimensional universe in which our 3D space is embedded would see our universe similarly as some kind of construct where their own physics breaks down, and they are unable to "look" inside possibly, just like we can't see inside black holes.

Also if we are an event horizon it disproves the big bang theory. The inhabitants of a black hole would notice their "universe" is expanding, and therefore conclude they came "from" some center point, but in reality BHs form from outside in, not inside out. So our universe came from outside itself not inside itself. It doesn't solve the 'first mover' problem, it just inverts it, but it does simplify it.

All that to say, I appreciated your response and you're right I was putting the "professor hat" on when I described most of what I said on this thread, but the paragraph above should prove I'm capable of as much quackery as the next guy. lol.

> I can see Facebooks side of this - when you give a specific reason, you open yourself up to a lot of counter-arguments, possibly outraging news articles for a bad formulation or a not fully specific reasoning and you give intel to spammers on how you detected them.

If the counter-arguments are reasonable, then Facebook _should_ be attacked.

> Additionally, having service reps find and cite the exact violated terms costs a lot of time and it would not even matter - FB is free to ban you if it wants, the specific reasoning would be more of a FYI.

I think the implicit implication is that Facebook should _not_ legally be allowed to ban you only if it wants. I would personally get behind such legislation. Sure if Facebook were just a social platform that's one thing, but it is tied to other services (e.g. Oculus) and is an identity provider for many other services. I don't believe Facebook should be able to have it both ways.
Would e2ee really be guaranteed if a user sets an 8 char password? Because if so an attacker with control of the server could brute forcedly decrypt the encryption key, and in turn all DB contents for a user, no?

This one was one of my first "jobs" as well, I would mix and match parts from donated broken computers and tech and splice them all together (again, usually ram, hard drives, or fan related issues) and then we would donate them to families or organizations in need (we would also sell some of them to keep the non-profit afloat). It was mainly volunteer work, but we were paid in parts. I would spend hours after school tearing things down, scouting through rooms full of old tech graveyards and just build.

FreeGeek is one of more popular organizations for doing things like this. They have a few locations around North America: Portland, Vancouver, NYC, Seattle, Fayetteville (AR).

I would do the same thing in grades 8-11 and do this for the local school district as well.

rayiner implied Maryland is some kind of single-party Democratic hellscape, though I dispute his description of

> Since 1969, we've had just two moderate Republican governors (who got elected to pump the breaks a bit on otherwise unbroken Democratic control).

because the two Republican governors have been recent: after Glendening (D) from 1995-2003 there was Ehrlich (R), then O'Malley (D), and now Hogan (R). So I'd say it rather as Maryland voters have held the governor's party to account for over 25 years. It looks like Illinois has followed a similar pattern.

Anyway I finished high school in Maryland before Glendening was out and it was almost embarrassingly good, though I didn't fully appreciate it at the time, despite my family being middle class at most. I don't remember any particular issues with other state-level public services. Some places have real challenges like parts of Baltimore and Prince George's County (near DC) and, I'm sure in different ways, the deeply rural areas out west and toward the Eastern Shore, but I don't see the state as some sort of self-evident cautionary tale of Democratic rule and I'd really like to hear what rayiner is basing that on.

If you don't mind, could you summarize what you're unhappy with in Illinois? I know about Blagojevich, but other than that. Or just link to some long-form article if you have one handy.

I never understood why anyone would want a Raspberry Pi as a low cost replacement for a computer. You still have to get potentially expensive peripherals and the overall experience is worse. Especially when you consider the risk of corrupting the SD card. That's negative value right there.

If you are desperate you just get an old Thinkpad on ebay for $200.

Beyond a certain point you lose more in value than you save in money.

So you should embrace that and choose a completely different computing experience for sub $200. At that point you are better off with a cheap tablet. They do not cost significantly more than a Raspberry Pi 4.

I think the demise of WYSIWYG GUI builders was partly just it "going out of fashion", but also partly because of rising requirements for dynamic GUIs, meaning actually changing the layout programatically, but also things like arbitrary resizing and dynamically switching based on device type ("responsive" design).

All of the popular 90s RAD design tools dealt with resizing as an afterthought, which made them obsolete in many cases and probably contributed negatively to the reputation of the whole class of software. Today's WYSISYG tools (I'd say as early as mid 2000s or even before) have certainly rectified these early mistakes, but I guess fashion moved on by then.
Angela Merkel is taken seriously because she's a serious person. Americans flipped out over Trump because he was in complete denial about the crisis.

nobody's autopilot will achieve full autonomy in the near future. Full autonomy actually meaning, you could rip the steering wheel out of the car and have it drive through any city you wish instead of "it drives through grid streets in American suburbs correctly like, 95% of the time"

The entire current approach has no correctness guarantees, ML systems are horrible at dealing with tail-risk, there's a human communication element to driving and so on. It's a ridiculously hard problem, honestly AGI hard.

I much more suspect that before we get autonomous driving we'll get more 'rail like' street systems, geofencing etc.. that limit how drivers and cars can behave, that's kind of how the whole hyperloop thing works ironically enough. Obviously if we wanted that we could just build better metro systems to begin with which already drive themselves.
You've always been able to ask Siri or go into settings to disable wifi since the first beta of that feature; I ran it.

I think it's nice since I frequently need to tell my phone to hop to mobile data while walking around campus since it's hopping from AP to AP and the control center switch is geofenced, so when I stop walking I'm almost always outside the geofence and wifi is back on like I wanted it to be.
> USB-C was released in 2014 and adoption has been very slow, and the standard has had problems.

USB-C adoption has been pretty steady and it's on many devices of various form factors. Apple put USB-C on MacBook in 2015. The Samsung Galaxy S8 came out in 2017 with USB-C. Even my uninterruptible power supply has a USB-C port.

What problems has the standard had, in your estimation?

Agree, strongly. I always think it’s funny when people complain about the verbosity of Java, because most of it is self-imposed. Even more funny is that the same Java programmers will migrate to something like Groovy and then reproduce all of the same verbosity there (e.g., “Don’t use implicit ‘it’ variables! Name it theImportantThingFromTheImportantThingArray!”)
> What do you mean outlawed? Facebook.com is private commercial property, they can define rules and decide which customers they work with. The only thing they cannot do is restrict users by categories, protected by law.

It's pretty clear the GP wants to change the laws to make such actions by Facebook illegal. Facebook is private of course, they still have to follow the law. Are you saying you don't know specifically what the change in the laws would be (of course we can't expect the GP to have all the details worked out) or do you not understand the concept that we as a society can change the law to regulate Facebook's actions?
GPS does not use triangulation.

It does some real dark arts physics wizardry to compute a position. Nothing like that can be done for cell phone signals.
There were estimates upwards of 300K people there to peacefully protest, that some people decided to enter the building does not negate the protesting. Even if social media calls for the arrest and ostracisation of everyone within a 5 mile radius.
This is a losing battle long term I fear. Far too many people see government as the way to push their ideology onto society as a whole.

It's possible. I certainly haven't tried to replicate the mechanism.

Antifa isn't a real organization, it's just a bunch of disconnected groups that have recently been getting labeled as Antifa. Most don't even claim to be part of Antifa. Antifa is basically the boogeyman that Republicans made up to distract from the fact that a bunch of far right wing people were literally organizing armed pseudo-militias with the intent of overthrowing the US government. They knew these idiots stood no chance so they downplayed them and made up conspiracies about left wingers doing the same shit, and pretending like there was a serious threat from the left instead of the right.
> Whats the alternative to Facebook? I find it weird that they still don't have any real competitors

It would take a massive amount of VC money to compete with something like Facebook, so it's not weird, there is very little VC left for social media.

I can't help feeling that the question is ill-posed. It's not "how much", but "why" that matters.

Think about it: Would you borrow $10,000 to a friend who opens a dentist with a solid business plan? Probably yes.

Would you borrow $1000 to a friend to cover an existing debt? Probably not, or, if you are very generous, you would gift them the money.

If a government can demonstrate that it borrows money to invest in the economy and increase future taxes -- e.g., by building infrastructure, educating the population, researching top-notch tech -- by all means, borrow more!

However, if all the government does is increase social welfare that it already struggles to afford or satisfy the luxury of a dictator, then stop borrowing now!
Just because something is being done does not mean it’s ethical. Fortunately, this is illegal in Europe.
