Fortunately, and surprisingly, this project was smooth sailing on the legal front.

I contacted a VicRoads certified engineer in regards to the project and got the all clear.

Even my insurance was OK with it.

I think it's because most of the legislation is aimed at engine modifications.

Every time this Sidewalk concern style story crops up (which it has several times over the last 6-12 months), I have rechecked that Sidewalk is disabled. So far I have not found it set to anything except for disabled. I hope Amazon isn’t doing a gradual roll out to enable, as if I find it enabled at any point in the future, I am done with Amazon devices in my home.

As far as I’m concerned based on Amazon Logistics performance in my area and the impact to the quality of other delivery carriers in my area, Amazon is not afraid to engage in a race to the bottom in the name of market share and profits. Opting me in to Sidewalk will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and sends me to anyone else except for Amazon when shopping.

In context the point being made is different from that you argue against and probably agrees with you. The context is that of "privacy" and the assertion is that advertisers are not concerned with individual person who a person is; rather the advertisers are interested in relatively non-private broad characteristics of targeted clusters of people. The author paints a relatively rosy picture of advertising based on the interests of an ad's targets instead of the discriminatory interests of the target-er but the concept still stands that on the whole the particulars of an individual are not germane to the business as currently conducted.

People say ‘privacy’ so often that one can lose sight of the fact that advertisers don’t care who you are - they just want to show ads to people that might be interested in them, and not to show ads to people who won’t be interested. They don’t want to ‘violate your privacy’ - they want to show diaper ads to parents, car ads to people who want a car and watch ads to rich people.
I studied it as a module at Cass Business School back in 03-06. To see it mentioned here in a completely different environment to the one I studied in has been a pleasant surprise.

I loved how it explained the counter-intuitively of rising crime whilst drug busts put dope on the table, or the risks of an aggressive or non-compliant fishing policy being the EU, or the tale of a group selling their model to a hedge fund for a small fortune.

So many potential ways to use this, and unfortunately I never encountered it at workplaces in my career. I think that’s when you realise that sometimes the ideas have to be presented by yourself.
I think its kinda a disadvantage to lose body language. You could have a presentation and have no clue how well anyone understood anything, since everyone's camera is off. During a normal talk you can see when their eyes glaze over and you lose the room.
Ukraine struggles with a sense of national identity because for the most of history it was a buffer region of roving cossack bands up until the 18th century. The concept of Ukraine as a national entity is still very new.

Ukrainians in Azov super-hate communism because of what happened in WW2 so they adopt the opposite stance from WW2. In the grand scheme of "history of Ukraine" they don't have much else to draw from.

You're worried to much about the symbols they use and are arguing "well, what really even IS a neo-nazi" when you should be asking questions like "Why does Azov run military training camps for children" Western journalists from Vice even covered them. Associated Press did as well, before editing the article to take out the part about the camps being funded not by the united states, but the Ukraine national guard (US gives money to the Ukraine national guard, not Azov directly so it's Kosher)
Thank you so much for the kind words :D

Depends how it’s structured. At best, you’re like a TOR relay and have no real idea of what’s going in or out.

But if you act like an exit node, you could be screwed if you live in a place where an IP is enough to be found guilty and nobody runs a public wifi. But you can always tunnel your outside traffic out over TOR.

The whole IoT thing just goes to show how... unique many people on HN are. I get it, it's a risk, etc. but IMO the convenience is massive. I do the same as you do, its a bit more work but it works fine for my use case. Use reputable products and segment them and the attack vector is rather small, IMO. I also try to not use wifi devices and instead go for something like zwave.
>ultimately it is an illegal annexation of public land that belongs to the taxpayers and has other intended uses (even if that use is just greenspace or empty land).

This is exactly how I feel seeing the homeless camps in Austin. Primarily, the first question I had was: what happens when one homeless person wants to spot of another? Neither has a legal right to it; are we not encouraging interpersonal violence by refusing to enforce the property laws that separate us from the state of nature?

>my experience has been that most are not locals, despite what surveys say, because the surveys always rely on volunteered answers about origins, rather than proven identity

Right. Why would anyone tell a volunteer they're from out of town? Seems like the first rule of being homeless: get a story that appeals to people. "Born here and down on my luck" is much more compelling than "Where I came from is worse than this place so I hopped a ride here."

Basically, we can spend all the money in the world and build all the housing that people need, but the personal liberty that this country espouses -- personal liberty I agree with! -- means that no one is obligated to take it. There is already a myriad of excuses I hear in these threads for why the homeless don't go to the shelters, participate in the programs, etc. "They don't allow my dog." "They would make be get sober", etc. Until we accept that there is a significant population of unhoused that prefer it that way, and then decided what we want to do about that, all the little villages and things won't scratch the surface of the problem.
Fixed - not quite, but yes, they no longer are using the winternitz one time signatures, and have deprecated the use of trinary compute logic.

I'd suggest it's not groups instead of individuals, but the other direction; particular attributes (fragments of individuals) instead of individuals. An advertiser, at the point where they want to advertise their baby wipes, don't care whether or not you're into fishing. They only care about whether or not their ad for baby wipes is going to someone who has the attribute "in the market for baby wipes". To the extent they care about groups, it's only because they aren't interested in an advertising campaign that targets one person, but they don't need anything more than "a bunch of people who are in the market for baby wipes".

An advertiser may care about more than one of these things at a time ("interested in baby wipes" + "what culture do they identify with" so I can target things culturally, for instance), but even a very highly-targeted ad will be ignoring all sorts of attributes.
I've worked in several in larger/Fortune 500 companies, including one where the desk setups were handled by a labor union, any changes required multiple approvals, and DIYing anything (using personal equipment or even adjusting the existing desk position or height) was a rules violation and prohibited. You wouldn't be able to get past security with personal equipment larger than what could fit in your pocket, and carrying so much as a monitor or laptop that didn't have a company barcode on it already would get you stopped.

So yeah, these sorts of workplaces exist and thousands of people have to contend with their on-site limitations.

Many users? I'd be surprised if it's even 1%.
All advertising is already targeted. A billboard is targeted to a geographic area - it's not randomly assigned. A commercial is on a station who's demographics are critically important.

The HUD case was a bit unique because there are specific laws about how housing can be advertised.

The Cambridge Analytica scandal is the real jarring one because they were given data normal Facebook advertisers couldn't even dream of getting a hold of.
> When those publishers are in the news business, this is another trade-off - pay walls (and privacy!) conflict with reach and public purpose, and again they tend to work best for the strongest.

I think the most interesting "ads are good" argument I've heard is being able to give free tools to people who don't have the discretionary budget to pay for things like premium news. A bit sad about information paywalls over this.

At the same time, I'd still gamble that this 'apocalypse' will prove to be created because there wasn't pressure to perform better with a limited ad capabilities. My bet would still be that things will be fine even after the playing board is tamed -- the markets just need some time to react and correct.

Juan Guaidó wasn't elected. He and his US backers keep shouting "no, I'm the president" and "yes you are" respectively doesn't make it so. It's gangster capitalism Monroe doctrine to install another Pinochet or Branco.

The US calls Maduro a "dictator" despite being elected. The reason the US does is simple: money (which uses US ideological politics as a means-to-an-end), since he specifically stated his purpose after the death of Chávez: "Compatriots, I am not here out of personal ambition, out of vanity, or because my surname Maduro is a part of the rancid oligarchy of this country. I am not here because I represent financial groups, neither of the oligarchy nor of American imperialism ... I am not here to protect mafias nor groups nor factions. IOW, because he wouldn't sell-out his own people or his own country, so he's been marked for death/removal, his people marked for sanctions, and Fox News leads the charge smearing the man and the country to make some vampiric rich Americans more money.

I had to solve these questions back in 95-96 (when I was 15) after buying these games used from a pawn shop. I used various sources from multiple BBS's and teachers at my high school.
Corporations naturally compete in race to the bottom on labor rights, because labor rights are in direct conflict with productivity. The only way we're getting a 6 hour 4 day workweek is through legislation setting that race to the bottom at a higher threshold. That's what the minimum wage does (and also why it should be raised).

Yes and no.

Apple is perfectly willing to maintain, say, Swift and LLVM as Free projects; but they also have a proprietary fork with extra bits exclusive to their own hardware. For example, their proprietary GPU drivers compile shaders with it. LLVM being permissively licensed and owned by them means they have no reason to release those bits.

This is not a hypothetical problem; it causes real harm to downstream users of LLVM. Rust has to support the current version of Apple's LLVM fork as well as the LLVM they ship with specifically just so you can compile watchOS apps, since that platform requires a proprietary bitcode format Apple never documented and only supports in their proprietary fork.

Had Apple stuck with GCC they wouldn't have the legal ability to do this. Even if they had used GPL on LLVM, that license alone means that any contributions they take would also bind Apple to the same license. That's why people are extremely apprehensive about CLAs, because they're basically one-sided. The project vendor is free to sell exceptions or maintain proprietary forks, but you still have to comply with GPL.
Windows 2000 was bloatware compared to NT4, which ran comfortably in 32 MB of RAM and had basically no limits on 128 MB. (All of office, photoshop and visual basic multi tasking at the same time smoothly.)

I don’t understand why modern OS’s need multiple gigabytes of RAM just to boot. I get that they do more than NT4 and windows 2000 did, but still, why isn’t a gigabyte enough? I would like to read an OS engineer’s take on it.

Good key chords matter.

Here are some of mine:

M-. jump to source

M-, pop back to previous source

C-x f r Find References

C-x f i Find Implementations

C-x f t Find Type

C-x r v Rename Variable

C-x c a Code Actions

And a bunch more. I'd like to have an analogue to jump back with my C-x stuff like I do with M-. and M-, - any emacs people have suggestions on how to do that?

I don't know how fast you are with the mouse, but I've watched my co-workers jump into source and they can be so slow. I believe that I can answer questions I have regarding the codebase faster than they can, I don't have to rely on my memory for trivialities.

That's what the local pub is for.
Yes, PC desktops commonly run AV which can impact certain common subsystems in their routine operations. This is true on Windows, Linux, and MacOS. This is perfectly reasonable for the 99% of PC users that are not programmers and power users.

It's unfortunate Defender would come pre-installed even on Server.
> A quaternion is basically a 4 dimensional vector, so it has a magnitude (or norm, or length)

Is it really a vector in the physical sense? People often say vector when they mean N-tuple -- for example we learned in high school that vectors are just N numbers taken together.

For physicists, a vector must satisfy certain transformation laws - it must transform in the correct way if a rotation is applied, and the scalar product must be invariant of the coordinate system, IIRC. I don't have enough intuition of quaternions to say how they behave under transformations, though. I would be surprized if you could have "proper" vectors with four components in three-dimensional space.
The poster is making the distinction between working to merge your changes upstream and just dumping your changes on an unsuspecting world.

The latter occurs decently often in the Linux Kernel world, and if there isn't much desire for the changes they can technically exist but never get merged.

Whereas there are other drivers where the only one that cares about them is the company that uses them, but their developers have worked to get it actually upstreamed and help maintain it.

I was hoping to find any Amibroker or AFL programmers on HN. I program in J, and I am learning APL to boot among other PLs, but I love array languages, and this seemed enticing to be able to apply my skills other than my own toy projects. I am aware of k's dominance in the fintech world, but AFL looks interesting in its practical application and cost of ownership of Amibroker software.
