DDG is a specialized blocker, while uBO is a wide-spectrum blocker which you can configure to your liking, by allowing you to add more filter lists, or by enabling advanced default-deny modes.

Performance-wise, uBO stands its ground compared to DDG, keeping in mind that uBO has the non-trivial burden of having to enforce pattern-based and cosmetic filtering from EasyList/EasyPrivacy/etc., while DDG is strictly hostname-based filtering.

For instance, while DDG reports that ad.doubleclick\.net was blocked on CNBC, the network pane reports that not ALL requests to ad.doubleclick\.net were blocked, and as a result, ad.doubleclick\.net still gets to know which page you are visiting.

> Anyway I didn't say that ministers are elected as ministers, but to my knowledge for someone to be appointed a minister they must be elected into parliament.

That might be the case in certain countries, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_of_the_United_Kingdom says: "In the United Kingdom's parliamentary system, the executive is not separate from the legislature, since Cabinet members are drawn from Parliament."

It's not the case in other countries. Recent examples from Italy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monti_Cabinet and Austria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bierlein_government. Admittedly these are interim governments formed entirely from non-politicians, so a special case. But there are also examples of individual non-party people being ministers in "normal" governments. Again Austria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kern_government (the "Independent"s were never MPs). Of course this is rare, since usually there is an expectation of party members to get the posts.

I've always been curious about basketball. It seems to have the same dynamic as big group races, where people are just trying to keep pace with each other until a final sprint. Yet basketball isn't very physically taxing, compared to those types of racing sports (or soccer, etc); it seems like teams could go all out the whole game, and then you wouldn't see as many games won by single digit point margins

I've found exactly the same experience. Data science is mostly cleaning data in the first place, and the 10% that isn't, it's just fiddling knobs (hyperparameter optimization) to get the model to work.

But man, I can't argue the incredible results it creates. Perhaps that's why people do it, for the ends not the means.
It's amazing how similar we all are and yet can have such drastically different understandings of the world.

Assuming it suggests bias in favor of black suspects is assuming a hell of a lot about the accuracy of the simulation relative to real life and whether or not it captures bias or peoples beliefs about how they are expected to act or changes to e.g. fear levels, that are not supported (it's also not contradicted - there's as far as I can tell no data either way) by the experiment in question.

All it tells us in isolation is that this is how a set of people in current society acts in a simulation of that kind. It does not tell us why, and trying to draw conclusions about why without further experiments is irresponsible.
> as a young Brit you just had a door shut in your face

I keep reading this and it's just not true. The vast majority of young Brits go to work or study in the USA/Canada/Australia/NZ, by far, and they don't have the EU's "freedom of movement".

Several of my friends worked and studied in Europe before the UK signed the Maastricht treaty in 1992 and it wasn't a problem for them. If you're determined to move countries, which is a significant undertaking, you'll do it regardless of whatever extra perceived barriers there are.

>I don't see how that's meaningful. If it takes skilled human effort, we expect it to be well compensated. What does it matter whether that skill makes use of much existing technology?

We don't actually pay people based on skill. Take the example of an old man making phyllo dough by hand - he gets paid based on the weight of the dough produced, not based on the work he puts in or the skill to produce the dough.

This was really prevalent in the Industrial revolution, where expert artisans were replaced by factories.

If you read the whole manifesto it references process and consistency quite a few times. I think the point is that its easier to fix the process than the people, so prioritize participation and collaboration over sticking to a specific approach.
That's one way to look at it.

What's described there is the predicting patterns, which is a part of intelligence but there's much more to discover and invent. Even within the 'optimization' task there's huge differences in the leaps from NNs to DNNs and from DNNs to AlphaGo/Zero. The details are what make it interesting.

If we were to understand exactly how the brain operates and learns, we'd see that it's solved/solving just an optimization problem, but that doesn't make it uninteresting.

Also the NRA _is_ a safety and education organization in addition to a lobbyist organization. As a child I learned gun safety from Eddie the Eagle. I still remember the song

"If you find a gun, stop! Don't touch! Find an adult!"

The NRA's biggest failings in late years have been capitulating to anti-gunners (they supported no fly no buy! which of course was a policy supported by both Clinton and Trump and is designed to disarm minorities) and generally siding with the GOP instead of staying on the side of gun owners' rights, which is why I give money to Gun Owners of America instead.

But I'm a crazy person. I think marksmanship and gun safety should be taught in high schools.

long ago, I had written some software that passed messages among BBS systems, 'mail tosser' type thing where some messages would be for this board, and others might be passing on to another. Because of a silly mistake, when there was more than one message in a bundle, the last wasn't processed.

They way this worked out on the boards meant that the "I have have messages for you" long distance calls would happen twice instead of once for each board, and where there was message traffic traveling both ways the system was building new batches on top of the remnant messages; so the next call would also have a remnant message require another call to clear the queue.

We nailed that after a couple weeks, but it cost dozens of board owners larger outbound call fees than they had planned on that month.
This comment expresses a misunderstanding. Merely not believing hard enough is not why threat modelling has failed. There is an incentive mechanism and this description of it can help them re-orient their strategy.

The counterfactual premise of threat modelling is that a business wants responsibility for mitigating or remediating risk without direct compensation, instead of a method to manage and transfer it. A technologist is just happy to solve problems, so they don't see this open loop as a source of value.
Even worse, he definitely knew first- and second-hand how poisonous lead was, so this isn't just blind ignorance. It was also known since Roman BCE times and reported on by Roman authors, so even without the personal experience, he and others should've had some awareness.

>In 1923, Midgley took a long vacation in Miami, Florida, to cure himself of lead poisoning. He found "that my lungs have been affected and that it is necessary to drop all work and get a large supply of fresh air".

>Kettering was elected as president, and Midgley was vice president. However, after two deaths and several cases of lead poisoning at the TEL prototype plant in Dayton, Ohio, the staff at Dayton was said in 1924 to be "depressed to the point of considering giving up the whole tetraethyl lead program". Over the course of the next year, eight more people died at DuPont's plant in Deepwater, New Jersey.

>Ethyl Corporation built a new chemical plant using a high-temperature ethyl chloride process at the Bayway Refinery in New Jersey. However, within the first two months of its operation, the new plant was plagued by more cases of lead poisoning, hallucinations, insanity, and five deaths.

>On October 30, 1924, Midgley participated in a press conference to demonstrate the apparent safety of TEL, in which he poured TEL over his hands, placed a bottle of the chemical under his nose, and inhaled its vapor for 60 seconds, declaring that he could do this every day without succumbing to any problems. However, the State of New Jersey ordered the Bayway plant to be closed a few days later, and Jersey Standard was forbidden to manufacture TEL again without state permission. Midgley would later have to take leave of absence from work after being diagnosed with lead poisoning.

At the very least, it should have been more carefully investigated if lead was harmful not just during manufacturing but also for regular consumer use.
To get back on track here:

I am trying to debunk the idea that “[p]eople eat meat because they like the taste and the texture” which you commented after a parent said that “calling plant-based things "meat" [is] a terrible idea”. To quite:

> We can have all kinds of flavors for these products, instead of "meat" flavor, not having to "live up to" the meat taste, and mouth feel. We can live up to great flavors vegetables, fruits, and herbs.

You started this debate by stating as a matter of fact that people “like the taste and the texture [of meat]”. I am trying—albeit really poorly—to say that that simply isn’t true. My choice of attack was perhaps poor, since I cannot seem to get my point across, but I chose to use that fact the people alter the both the taste and texture of meat a lot before they consume it. And for some reason people seem to think what I mean here is that they shouldn’t. As if I’m trying to invoke a No True Scotsman in favor raw meat.

> If you don't eat meat or don't like meat, then Beyond Meat and Impossible Burger are not products for you!

Sure, they are not. But I really doubt that the people who these are for like it because of the meat part. I honestly don’t know why they like it (I bet there are a million reasons), but I doubt that more than a few of these is because it reminds of meat actually. Because—as I’m trying (poorly) to convey—there is nothing inherent about the meat part they like.

I won’t be eating the Beyond or Impossible products because, honestly, they suck compared to the alternatives. Although I haven’t found anything that comes close to a good Oumph! here in America (if this is this how a meat eater feels when they can’t access meat, then I honestly don’t see the big deal here, just eat something else).
A set of first-past-the-post choices between effectively only two parties, one of which was pro-Brexit and the other of which was incapable of a coherent stance, is not exactly a great recipe for determining the actual will of the people.

Ask HN: Any tips for a programmer wanting to switch into security?
I've got ~5 years experience as a business app developer with some networking / DevOps experience in there as well. The more I learn about the networking side the more interested I am in how to secure this, and I'm less interested in writing code.

Obviously security is becoming more and more important, and I'd like to focus my career toward this. In terms of talent, I'm an average Developer, and I know there are roles that focus toward knowing how to secure applications at the code level, which could be interesting, but I also would be interested in securing networks.

Given the sheer number of companies still using Office 2010 or 2007 or older, thick clients aren't the problem.

A huge part of the LibreOffice value proposition is price. And choosing free LibreOffice over paid Office is a lot easier than choosing a paid option. Once you open the conversation about paying, Office is a no-brainer and you need a compelling reason to switch to something else.
History isn't what it used to be. Recent events suggest that Internet Archive too will cease to be as soon as it's content becomes politically or ideologically unpalatable. Enjoy it while you have it, don't count on it being around forever (in any useful state anyway).
Readability in any language basically comes down to whether the programmer formatted his code in a non-malicious way (which is the case 99% of the time) and used variable names you are familiar with. I'd be more worried about the meta constructs in Lisp (and whether they are sound). To be able to reason semantically about a program is something that is made easier by static typing and static name resolution. Instead of constantly worrying that X is not defined where you think it is (because some dynamic binding system has yet another edge case you forgot to think about or discover), you just always know where it's defined.
I don't think that there's a problem trusting the Apache Foundation. I think that under the Apache Foundation's supervision, OpenOffice did nearly nothing in the last five years, while LibreOffice fixed bugs and added features.

Imagine star trek where instead of Data being one android, you just had a ton of machines that could do everything better than humans. No point for the humans to explore space or do anything. The end.

Imagine in Minority Report where Tom Cruise is instantly caught because his whereabouts can easily be tracked and triangulated, by his gait, infrared heart signature, smell, and a number of other things. Movie takes 2 minutes. The end.

In fact, this is the world we are building for ourselves. We're going to be like animals in a zoo, unable to affect nothing. Just like a cat has no idea why you're doing 99% of the things you do, but has to go along with it, similarly you will have no idea why the robot networks do 99% of their activities, you just kinda live your life with as much understanding as a cat has in your house, as you go about your daily business.

The closest I can think of is Isaac Asimov's "I Robot" maybe. And even there, the robots weren't in charge really.

Libre office was actually created earlier, while Sun was still at the helm. When Oracle took over it got more mindshare only a short bit later Oracle "donated" it to the ASF.
Well that is kind of the point -- you know C and C++ reasonably well and are comfortable with the syntax, so of course you think it is easy to read. If you were as familiar with Lisp you would not find it hard to read either (I should know, since I am comfortable with both C++ and Common Lisp).

That said, if you want a real C++ readability challenge, here you go:

int add_one(int x) { return x+1; }

Easy-to-miss undefined behavior is a much greater readability problem than the specific syntax of a language in my opinion.
