> All we have is other people apologizing on their behalf with speculative redemption

Yup, I'm a little disturbed that people jump to defending him to a degree that borders on reinterpreting history.

Eg:

> Someone who wrote a racist or anti-Semitic comment in 2007 could have evolved to deeper understanding

Ok. Is there any evidence this specific person did? Did he apologize? Did his public writing change substantially since then?

It's not like this is an embarrassing photo taken during a party the guy had forgotten about. I have trouble imagining how someone could be hired as head of diversity for Google and forget that they published a screed about how jews should confront their appetite for war or whatever.

If the only information you have about this person is this, your first reaction should not be to find excuses to dismiss the information; or if it is, you should at least look for additional information, instead of speculating about how maybe the person totally changed their mind and is totally being treated unfairly.
I am shocked that I can't find the term "backup" at that authoritative link

So there are a lot of negatives to trying to set up your home as a smart home, the constant fight against entropy is the most annoying. These kind of service shutdowns are way to common.

If you are just getting into it you should ironically try to get smart devices that are as dumb as possible (or flashable to be) and do all the thinking and control on the hub.

For the hub it's worth looking at openhab or home assistant and running it on your own hardware.

I definitely enjoy the benefit of having everything be voice controlled. To stay offline you can use mycroft ai though will require a bit of set up to work like that. The utility of having a voice assistant connected to the internet is pretty great though so might outweigh any privacy/security concerns either leaving mycroft connected or using amazon/google/apple options.

Follow that advice and you can have a stable functional smart home. I wouldn't call it a consumer friendly experience, though if you look at it as a tech hobby there's a good helpful community and you can definitely end up with a pretty awesome environment set up.
Tool Writing: A Forgotten Art? (2005) [pdf]
(big IANAL) Criminal penalties for revealing information would be a major affront to the First amendment since they're the most direct way for the government to restrict speech. The Federal classification system only works because the individuals given security clearance enter into a special contractual agreement with the Federal government - only someone who has made that agreement can face criminal penalties for revealing classified information. A random pedestrian who's never even been allowed near classified information but stumbled onto it can't be prosecuted (at least, not once it gets to a sane appeals court).

That's to say: it'd be up to each state to create its own criminal laws regarding what they consider confidential information (if any) and make sure those laws are constitutional by explicitly writing them into the police officers' contracts. Much of the time, changing internal policy is all that states can realistically do because some federal statute or constitutional clause has supremacy - even something that's normally a fireable offense at a private business might run afoul of constitutional protections when done by a state government or agency.
But hype is faster, stronger, just-around-the-corner, and more magical like a certain loop.

Say you have to drive 1000 mi / 1600 km nonstop or have a low battery. So how are EVs going to work practically for everyone who isn't rich without standard swappable battery packs like the original Model S had?

Ah, yes, because Israel doesn't bomb schools, hospitals, or libraries... Damn hamas and their stones! Why can't they be more advanced with their killings like the Israelis and just level entire buildings full of children?

What's the body count on Israeli children killed by hamas vs Israel killing Palestinian children? I'm pretty sure it's lopsided.
It’s not like the 787 can’t also make use of the jetstream.
Thanks. As the article's author (and first time writing something that hits HN) it's been interesting seeing which parts of the article have struck a nerve and which parts have gone through to the keeper.
Agree — These ban happy nocoiner rantings about outlawing math are funny if they weren’t so damn authoritarian.
I know, in theory you can have a law for everything. For example, in the Soviet Union basic electronics such as radios were restricted and you were not allowed to tune your sets to western stations.

I would say that the purpose of something is what is proper or correct for it to do.

I think the slogan should not be taken literally and means more like "don't let the (possibly many-faceted and disputed) purpose of a system blind you to what it does".
Everyone points at Moscow as if they are behind the attacks, when, in fact, all we know is that the hackers are probably based in Russia (if treating Cyrillic keyboards specially isn't a silly false flag). They say Russia is unwilling to do anything etc. But did the FBI actually reach to their Russian counterparts for assistance? Or are they waiting for Moscow to come forward and fix all their security problems on its own? 10 years ago when mail bride order scams were popular (targeted at US/Canada/Australia), Russian police actually did catch and imprison a lot of scammers after American/Canadian requests; some of them in my own town
The "micro" part does a lot of heavy lifting here. The difference is in effort made per post.
I could not see an idea in your post, although I agree with the general sense. There is a lot of things happening currently on the DeFi space and what you described fits what a DEX (decentralized exchanged) currently do, what would be needed is to deploy tokens for the commodities you would be trading.
> Robin DiAngelo

I'm going to have to start asking for better sources on antiracism than a white woman who makes a career out of corporate "diversity training." Like, of course that's her entire thesis.

White fragility is a very useful concept, for sure. But the way DiAngelo uses it seems to be more focused on making white people hem and haw and feel guilty for even trying instead of doing mutual aid, reading theory, forming community, anything actually helpful or useful.

If I wanted to set up a strawman, that's exactly what I'd do.
If they walked through an already-open door with the intent to steal, entering wouldn't be burglary, at least not under the rules I'm used to.

If they had to break open the door, entering would be burglary.

Using a key they were supposed to have, to enter a building they were supposed to be able to enter? I would say it should be treated like the former case, not the latter case.

US law may not always agree with me, and apparently there are states where shoplifting can count as burglary. But I say stretching the definition that far is ridiculous.
If an employer expects me to install a device policy on my phone, they should buy me a second phone.

That said, this comment established a false dichotomy between trusting your employees and doing defense in depth. Following your logic, employers that require two-factor auth must either be "psychopaths" or have "poor employee acquisition hygiene" because they don't trust me to use a unique password and avoid getting phished. Trusting someone doesn't mean being certain that they will never make a mistake.
Because proper cybersecurity should be treated as a cost of business, unlike the use of force which is an exclusive prerogative of the state. If large companies want the state to step in to absorb some of their costs, they should stop trying to avoid contributing to said state at every step of the way. If said public involvement came at the cost of partial ownership of companies requiring it, with complete disclosure of their financials including offshore, I would not mind at all. I am simply extremely tired of corporations running to daddy at every inconvenience - sometimes of their own doing - while actively trying to crash the whole system into the ground by starving it. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Considering how much we use "alpha" in regard to human behavior, it's hilarious that the whole reference is based on flawed analysis of captured wolves.
As someone who prefers static types, I agree with you that claiming dynamic languages are "unityped" is stupid. Javascript/Python/Clojure all literally have types.

There's already branches of cabinet-level departments that try to do this. In my opinion they're having about the same level of efficacy as one might expect in any other set of large-scale changes in very large old companies with a wide variety of internal systems and needs. If you look you'll find a plethora of government-led attempts to secure various critical industries.

You'll also note that entertainment companies and hospitals are routinely breached. There's perhaps room to question if they are indeed practicing good cybersecurity.
JSX would be an (early) example of this class of language. XML is equivalent to s-expressions. So React.js (drunkly) is just a reactive language embedded in a normal language with seamless ability to hop between them. I elaborate about this equivalence here https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/mavg81/the_distinc... . The brilliance is they did this so smoothly that nobody noticed, and with dynamic types, and without the typed people even noticing!
Hard disagree. First thing I do on any new android phone is install a third party app: f-droid. the play store is impossible to navigate because it's flooded with ad-laden crap and overly permission-greedy dodgy apps. f-droid (for those who aren't familiar, it's an app store for open source applications) is an excellent way to get away from that and get apps that are basically guaranteed not to be user-hostile.

not to mention that app stores impose censorship on the sites that offer apps there. if you're an art platform you aren't allowed to show anything that even just vaguely hints at nudity (and I'm not talking about just outright porn here)
> You will have to understand the rules of evidence regardless of what type of lawyer you want to be.

This is the problem. We force everyone through a meat grinder with this paternalistic bullshit about being well-rounded. If and when it becomes necessary to know something, you learn it with more motivation and so it becomes easier to learn and remember. We need to stop force feeding people things that aren’t directly relevant or that they have no interest in.

Source: am also a lawyer and would say easily 1/2 of what is taught in law school was never used again and promptly forgotten after the exam. I am certain the same apples to doctors, architects, etc etc etc.
The notion of existence of ideas has been discussed in philosophy since Platon and has not settled. Consider that to express an idea even a simple one like the numbers one-two-three one needs to use a language. And language has infinite number of interpretations that may be entirely different. So how do one know that his ideas are not misinterpreted by others? Moreover, memory is based on the language, so how does one know that things that he remembers from a day ago mean the same things as it was then?
> But lumping them in with actual residents seems foolish.

Inmates are actual residents. And, as the district appears, fron the article, to be largely nonresidential other than for the institutionalized, though that seems to be changing going forward with redevelopment.

> What do someone in the prison and someone outside it have in common? Nothing. So they shouldn't have the same rep.

That's a fundamental problem with single-member, winner-take-all districts not limited to incarcerated/nonincarcerated distinctions.

> Similarly I doubt the local government has much say over what happens in the prison

The D.C. government has considerable say over what happens at the D.C. jail run by the D.C. Department of Corrections (D.C. is unusual in that many functions that elsewhere would be state, county, and city all are done by the same government.)
Here is the proof (shakes an USB flash drive) that they are hiding malware of mass destruction in there and we shall invade!
If you are just entering the industry pretty much anything you've put care into and can talk about or show is worth adding.
It's hard to prove that something does not exist. Significant amount of money has been recovered, although it's easy to argue that effects are not enough for the effort and inconvenience of normal customers.
I'm the odd counterexample, where proofs were what made math come alive for me. I suppose you could say that the utility of math is in furnishing tools for proofs, but that's probably not what most people mean. ;-)

Utility was for physics, which I also majored in.
That depends on the language and deserialisation library used. And that is also the reason why I have multiple classes.

My CreateTaskRequest class which is used for deserialisation only does not have defaults (unless intentional) so it throws when required values are not present in the source json. It also takes care of dateformat/uuid parsing. The output is always fully valid typed or it throws. It’s a 1-to-1 mapping on what is described in the API docs.

The service layer that takes CreateTaskRequest and converts to Task for persistence is where the business logic validation happens (valid foreign keys, date ranges, etc, unique checks). Cleanly separated from deserialization.

For reference: I use Kotlin with Jackson which has great support for this.
The US only constitutes 15% of global GDP. There's no reason to think that US investors represent an outsized position in crypto holdings. American funds may have large positions, but that's largely because the American asset managers tend to attract substantial overseas positions.

There's no reason to think that, say a Japanese pension fund, that's invested in Grayscale is going to say, "oh shoot, guess there's no possible way to allocate to this asset class now". They'll just reinvest that same allocation in a UK or Caymans domiciled fund.

If anything the 85% of crypto investors who aren't invested, will most likely hoard in anticipation of the policy being reversed. For better or worse the US government has extremely low credibility when it comes to long-term policy consistency. Almost any US policy can simply be waited out until Congress/White House flips parties.

Because that analogy doesn’t hold. These cyber attacks are all but literally one bored kid and a computer. If the Russians sent one bored kid over here to blow up Hoover Dam, and that actually worked, we’d blame the people who put up the dam.

The fact is that the correct and secure working of computer systems and networks has been severely neglected by companies in favor of their profit. If we are to have state response to such neglect, it should be funded by a huge tax on every copy of Windows.
I don't get it, how would you be paying more for an AppStore?
I think something like this was proposed actually, but was thought to potentially fragment the web too much.

I wonder if it would also mean an inherently more complex runtime with correspondingly complex debugging. At the moment you have a single JS environment you run and debug in. If we began tiering it by versions, what would that look like for day to day development? You’d no longer track just browsers but versions of JS running in each.

10db actually. 20db would be a linear scaling of 100x.
I think this is that white fragility thing I've heard about? You're just immediately on the attack, and sort of intentionally going for really bad examples. Did anyone suggest not being able to get asian food locally was racism?

Further, I can't speak for your country, but in mine explicitly racist policies have been the norm in living memory. You might look up 'red lining' and start there.
I have to estimate time and materials for a lot of DevOps contracts. I estimate twice the hours, or more for Jenkins CI work vs GitLab CI even if my engineer is an expert in groovy. The complexity of Jenkins adds a huge amount of risk.

Either, your company makes sure that almost everybody contributes above their salary, or you need to fire often without hurting your "culture".
I doubt the first paragraph of this.

Aviation uses incredible amounts of fuel, and commercial planes are in the air more often than they are on the ground. My guess is that the embodied energy to operating energy ratio is lower for planes than for any other vehicle.
Surely the NSA can tell companies about their vulnerabilities without having to actually log in and fix them? "You have a server on 23.117.25.208:3999 which is vulnerable to CVE-2021-1120, fix it."
The entire use case for NFTs could be accomplished with digital keysigning. The certificate issuer could just pad the asset with the issuee's public key and sign that with their private key. No blockchain necessary.
Wow, this person asked for information, and instead they got a fluff piece.

No, it is racist and discriminatory....

We end up with bizzare scenarios, where someone form Nepal, or Palestine, is considered as 'privileged', as they are asian, and weirdly arabs are counted as 'white'.
While someone from Argentina or Chile, is considered as unprivileged as they are Latinos.

Which is ridiculous, as Nepal's gpd is just 1k USD per capita, while Argentina and Chile are 10x and 14x that.

Also, some South American/Latino countries are actually richer than many Eastern European countries, (countries like Moldova and Bosnia are poorer than Mexico).

Separating people by race/ethnicity feels deeply wrong.
Teslas might as well be Ferraris for most the world. Aren't the bulk of present average EVs unable to charge at the rates Teslas or similar expensive EVs use?

Property in general is a social construct, not just intellectual property. When I say that something is my property, that refers to social/legal recognition of my rights over that thing. Even if that thing is tangible, there is still no black box experiment that can determine whether that thing is my property or not.
> the way to make that happen is by limiting the scope of the law as much as possible, in order to force law makers to rewrite it.

I doubt that will actually happen, though. Our system basically assumes that laws will be written to be vague and ambiguous, and that courts will clarify the interpretation over time. I don't think this is a very good way to run things, but it seems to be the way we've settled on.

You can once again - https://electrek.co/2020/08/29/tesla-software-update-visuall...

It was lost due to Tesla's decision to remove MobilEye as a supplier.

Mobileye generally focuses on highly optimized HW/SW that does individual things very well, in a manner similar to how factory automation works (e.g., they basically built a "lane keeping + auto-braking + sign reading" appliance).

Tesla decided that 1) It was bad to outsource automation 2) Starting from scratch and 'learning' how to drive using ML was better than iteratively teaching a car how to do discrete tasks very very well (this is why Autopilot regressed a bunch in 2016).

In general, it's another symptom of Elon's 'I have an extremely specific idea, let's figure out' mentality that sometimes works and sometimes results in useless tunnels under Las Vegas.
Are those "clever" functions pure?
> AI is already as good as human drivers

But the AI drives slowly and gets confused easily. Regular drivers routinely have to go around self-driving cars. Not to say they won't improve, but it seems like current AI is assistive to the point where it might be harmful when drivers rely on it in speeds and situations where they shouldn't. I'm sure it will keep improving, but I feel like this is one of those situations where the amount of data and training required, and the amount of iteration on the software required to handle edge cases is not impossible but is exceptionally difficult.
By carefully studying the texts and putting their claims to the test. For example, someone over 1400 years ago making very specific claims that came true only recently is definitely worth looking further at. Once you determine the veracity of the texts, and the claims that came true later on, by induction, the message is true. You look at the lifestyle of the person who brought the message, and his close companions, what worldly benefit did they gain, what did they sacrifice, etc. All that is important in order to fuly realize the Truth.
