Does it look like any of the references to the malware domain could come from the app itself? Then it's the app's fault. Otherwise, it's the user's fault.

You can also use Python to write ad bots and malware, but that's not a sufficient reason to ban the whole Python language (or any other programming language).

> if everyone followed the above basic principle we would not have to deal with disturbing stories such as this one

This guy would still be a predator and a rapist, and he would still be doing similar things to people. Wishing that people were robots and were able to completely separate themselves emotionally from people they meet in situations in which they share a common interest is an exercise in futility. It's simply not how people work.

This sidetrack is basically victim blaming with extra steps.
Another example on how tech giants control the livelihoods of millions of people. They can press one button and put thousands of people out of a job at any time. Workers rights? How about an automated reply and no specific reason for the death of your company/application/income.

I think you could find some inspiration in cryptocurrency exchanges. Most of them expose public websockets for prices, order books, trades, etc. They're high volume with lots of subscribers.

For example, check out the docs for the Binance websockets (they use both snapshot and delta messages): https://github.com/binance/binance-spot-api-docs/blob/master...

If you could tell me a little more about the data format, data volumes, number of subscribers, and how you get the data on the backend, I can try to give you some more concrete advice.
Having good data is the first step towards making a change.

I like that the air quality monitor enables you to figure out how much the window has to be opened and also when.

That's far more useful than the blanket advice of opening windows daily.

As the parent said, plenty of nuance to go around.
> they chose not to phrase it exactly as I did

Quite so. Let's emphasise that: they chose not to phrase it exactly as you did. And by my reading, significantly so.

> I invite anyone to read the press release

How about going one better: read the report that the media release accompanies.

> equating them is a common theme among complaints about Google and Apple's dominance of their platforms' app ecosystems

That's by the by, because this report does not make the same category error, and is a nuanced, lengthy, and considered analysis of the myriad different modes in which their controlling power is underused in some ways that leave the consumer unprotected, and overused/abused in other ways that harm consumer choice, create barriers to market entry, and enable rent-seeking behaviour, and suggests how changes in specific behaviours might correct those pathologies.

> You make it sound like the ACCC is inherently on the consumer's side in any matter

Well, yes, this is their job, their remit, their raison d'être. Deviation from that premise is the exception, not the norm, and frankly they are known globally as one of the most effective consumer regulators, and the ACL as gold-standard legislation that sibling institutions in other nations can only dream of administering. Trying to discredit the organisation because they got pulled into the federal Murdoch toadying over the MBC looks like misdirection.

Which makes me reach for my high school Latin: what is the equivalent of ad hominem when the target entity is an institution, not a person?
I can totally imagine a situation where some people at Basecamp wouldn't take "sorry, let's move on" as an answer and had to see DHH / others be a martyr, and I could agree with Basecamp collectively finding that unacceptable. But making the response to that effectively "you can no longer discuss working conditions or diversity and inclusion ever again" is an incredibly disproportionate response.

If the response to that situation was to have a discussion with that employee / group of employees about the need to move on and come to a resolution, instead of blasting publicly that politics and committees, and basically everything other than DHH and Jason having absolute authority is no longer accepted, we wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place.

I don't recommend anyone "inject" trimix ;) But jokes aside : Trimix is an (artificial) gas blend that includes helium, which is an inert gas that your body doesn't metabolize (though their is still a lot of unanswered questions about its effects below 250 meters). Your body metabolizes gases (normally only Oxygen) according to their partial pressures in your body. The partial pressure of Oxygen at sea level is just 21% (there's an atmospheric pressure of 1 Bar and air is 21% Oxygen, 78% Nitrogen, and 1% Aragon and other weird stuff), but as you dive deeper into the water and the ambient pressure rises, so does the partial pressure of Oxygen and Nitrogen. Oxygen becomes toxic around (to be safe) 1.2 ppO2 and Nitrogen causes narcosis at a pp that varies greatly from diver to diver. As a rule of thumb, somewhere between 40 and 60 meters is where things get dangerous. So, to reduce the partial pressure of these gases, Helium is introduced, reducing the proportion of the metabolized gases in the total mix, and allowing the diver to go deeper before the critical thresholds are reached. To dive below a certain depth (about 60 meters), a mix is required where the proportion of Oxygen is less than the minimum 17% Oxygen at 1 Bar required for your body to function. We call these mixes "Hypoxic Trimix". A typical deep technical dive involves switching gases (different tanks) at least three times during the dive, and grabbing the wrong regulator is a deadly mistake. Technical diving is not for the distracted. It is, also, the slowest and most meditative rush you'll ever experience. Add overheads and caves and it really does feel like an excursion to an other planet. Speaking of space travel : more humans have been to space than below 200 meters.

The default boundary should be "I do not want to have sex with you".

It's even more important when one person is in a position of power and when there's an inherent element of trust (teacher, mentor, etc.) because it's going to be much more complicated for a person to set appropriate boundaries and feel like they can say no to them.

If people really wanted to tax the rich the majority of taxes would come from sales taxes and minority from property taxes. Eliminate income taxes including capital gains taxes. Capital gains taxes are at a laughable rate anyways.

Income taxes primarily tax the upper middle class not the rich or poor who either make no employment income or an insufficient amount.

Everybody buys things though. To be fair to the poor eliminate food and water from sales taxes, which are not candy and soda. To be fair to everybody else eliminate deductions.

Wealthy people who throw away money NFTs for $50 million should be charged a sales tax just as poor people who thrown away $100 per month on television packages. The argument against sales taxes is that they are a barrier to transaction frequency which is the heart of economic health, but they would cover everybody far more fairly. The only escape is to not purchase things.

For most people wealth is tied to property, but just about everybody pays property taxes even if they don’t own property. For renters the expense of property taxes is indirectly passed to them as a basis of the rent. Higher property taxes burden more expensive property owners (and renters) disproportionately so it does tax the wealthy more, but not that much more since those expenses are redistributed in various ways through costs of living.
As the primary AWS guy in our company I'm pushing for all our developers to get M1 macs ASAP. When that happens we'll start building/testing on ARM systems and I'll transition all of our EC2 stuff over to Graviton processors.

Bonus! This makes performance review time super easy; you've saved the company thousands of dollars this year, how about a raise?!
> Can you please provide proof that our justice system is failing victims? Do you just mean that the conviction rate is anything less than 100% for accusations?

Nobody is asking for near 100% conviction rates.

In the UK there are about 150,000 rapes per year. Police record about 60,000 crimes. CPS prosecutes fewer than 5,000 cases. Courts convict fewer than 2,000 people.

Rape is a very serious crime. A less than 2% conviction rate is failing the victims.
>Earth has gone through multiple extinction events before us, however this is chance for life to become multi planetary for the first time, for life itself it is probably worth the risk.

If you can live on Mars you can live on Earth, the problem is that nobody wants to live on Mars or a Mars like Earth.

You are also underestimating the time it takes to colonize Mars. There aren't any plans right now, all we get is more rovers. Nobody is sending space manufacturing equipment to Mars nor is anyone sending an autonomous outpost ahead of time ready for people to move into it. As it is right now, if we were to send people to Mars we would send them there to die there.

Even this analogy doesn’t necessitate the poor stay poor: which engine do you start with when you want to learn how engines work?

I think life as a neo-nazi should be as difficult as humanly possible so I'd try find a way to boot them off any service I operate. It's likely many hosting providers etc have a "no illegal stuff or neo-nazi shit" clause in their TOS. A few of these sites have bounced around providers before landing with Epik, so it doesn't seem to be rare or hard to do. It's a choice Epik have made to, if not welcome them then tolerate them.

Sorry if that might seem naive, if it makes anyone feel better I'm not operating a domain registrar or hosting provider so my opinion is kind of moot anyway :)

It's becoming increasingly clear that the "distracting" political discussion Jason and DHH are trying to shut down are ones that directly involve working conditions at Basecamp, not unrelated culture war discussions or anything like that.

Hashes of disk images are definitely recorded and stored as part of forensics evidence trail. Being able to prove that the files you got came from the hard drive of the suspect - essentially a physical chain of custody until the image is taken, recording what was taken, and a digital chain with hashes/signatures starting from the imaging.

The hash verification you describe happens (without independent oversight but enugh to protect against a single bribed/malicious officer) and it does protect from post-factum altering of any digital evidence; you try to do the early (physical) parts quickly, the majority of analysis work comes after you have the images and their hashes - but everything from that analysis can reproduced from the verified images if it's disputed.

Hierarchical Motion Understanding via Motion Programs
Abstract: Current approaches to video analysis of human motion focus on raw pixels or keypoints as the basic units of reasoning. We posit that adding higher-level motion primitives, which can capture natural coarser units of motion such as backswing or follow-through, can be used to improve downstream analysis tasks. This higher level of abstraction can also capture key features, such as loops of repeated primitives, that are currently inaccessible at lower levels of representation. We therefore introduce Motion Programs, a neuro-symbolic, program-like representation that expresses motions as a composition of high-level primitives. We also present a system for automatically inducing motion programs from videos of human motion and for leveraging motion programs in video synthesis. Experiments show that motion programs can accurately describe a diverse set of human motions and the inferred programs contain semantically meaningful motion primitives, such as arm swings and jumping jacks. Our representation also benefits downstream tasks such as video interpolation and video prediction and outperforms off-the-shelf models. We further demonstrate how these programs can detect diverse kinds of repetitive motion and facilitate interactive video editing.
Yes HN is great for championing useless projects, all the while crapping on the ideas that turn out to be huge; Dropbox, Gitlab, Coinbase etc.

>I’m not surprised that HN rushes to discredit the idea that hiring is not a perfect meritocracy

I'm surprised you evidently haven't seen the thousands of threads where HN predominantly does nothing but complain about how hiring is not a perfect meritocracy.
Well, the experimenters could have combined their corpus of job candidates describing themselves with a bunch of recordings of actors giving the same descriptions in different accents.

Then each hiring manager could have been presented with a different subset of that pool, with both resume and recording.

A multivariate regression would then reveal the relative impacts of class, being an actor, and the different self-descriptions.

My intuition is that if you are selling something (like a flight) then you would want to make it as easy as possible for people to buy. Getting the data out as widely as possible would seem to help with that.
The TortoiseGit client basically has this feature[1]. In the commit GUI, you can right click a file and select "Restore after commit", then you can edit the file to remove all the changes you don't want to commit (which means you can also test it, etc, and that your edits can be as granular as you want). Then, after you commit, it resets it to have all the changes you left out.

I like it a lot.

Which may be an issue in open-source, but not so much in a captive environment. When I clone an internal repo and run it on local, I myself don't do a security review of it.

Twitch isn't much better than YouTube when it comes to arbitrary bans.

Joint Attention for Multi-Agent Coordination and Social Learning
Mermaid became quite a common markdown feature. It is supported in a lot of places already. It can easily be integrated as it is pure client side javascript.
> If people really wanted to tax the rich the majority of taxes would come from sales taxes and minority from property taxes

Why not the other way around? If you can't sell but can hold - people will hold and rent to others. We all played monopoly and know what the endgame is, right?

If you want to tax the rich simply tax the rich - let's say 5% tax on any property over 1 000 000 USD.
Abstract: Joint attention—the ability to purposefully coordinate attention with another agent, and mutually
attend to the same thing—is a critical component of human social cognition. In this paper,
we ask whether joint attention can be useful as a
mechanism for improving multi-agent coordination and social learning. We first develop deep
reinforcement learning (RL) agents with a recurrent visual attention architecture. We then train
agents to minimize the difference between the attention weights that they apply to the environment
at each timestep, and the attention of other agents.
Our results show that this joint attention incentive
improves agents’ ability to solve difficult coordination tasks, by reducing the exponential cost
of exploring the joint multi-agent action space.
Joint attention leads to higher performance than a
competitive centralized critic baseline across multiple environments. Further, we show that joint
attention enhances agents’ ability to learn from
experts present in their environment, even when
completing hard exploration tasks that do not require coordination. Taken together, these findings
suggest that joint attention may be a useful inductive bias for multi-agent learning.

This feels like putting the internet on the internet.

How did we get to this point?
I don't think so. I've tried a few last connection dates and they're all over 6 months in the past. Odds are they're burner numbers based on that alone.

For example, last number last connected on Sep 13, 2020 (they're just dates, no time info stored), while the account was created on July 7th, 2020 at 16:15:37. Knowing the number's without Internet access for over half a year, person in question is probably unable to compare the creation date and time to the SMS received from Signal.
