What, pray tell, are those benefits that are so obvious to you, and why should they only apply to photos of your lunch and not money? Most of the more "banal" uses of the Internet would still work fine with a tightly regulated system that required you to sign up for services with an ID and have every packet signed and tracked. The reality is that many in the US believe we had an insurrection attempt in January due to 8chan of all things. To me, sure: it is certainly "obvious" that the ability to have speech that isn't centrally controlled is a good thing... but I can't come up with a single argument for it that wouldn't also apply to being able to send money between two parties (and, notably, in the Western world we tend to purposefully conflate "speech" with the ability to transfer and lend resources, as without capital nothing can be accomplished).
Upvoted, not because I agree with you but because it makes important points.

Anyone who thinks such transparency is a good idea should read Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter's Light of Other Days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Light_of_Other_Days
Maybe if journalists (and those who employ them) actually started investigating a year ago when this stuff was first coming out instead of immediately and dismissively labeling everyone who actually did as a conspiracy theorist nutjob and thus stymieing legitimate discovery, we'd have slightly more accurate information by now.

In the last WebAIM Screen Reader survey [0], if anyone answered they primarily use Orca, they got lumped into "Other"; out of over 1,000 respondents, 7 primarily use Chromevox so the Orca number must be lower than that. If some use Orca sometimes, they must have been less than 1% of the respondents and got lumped into Other for that question as well.

That doesn't mean that Orca doesn't do a good job or that it works very differently than other screen readers. The A11ySupport site [1] does have some data on Orca's support for specific code. For instance, it fully supports the aria-expanded attribute but has no support for description list elements.

If you have an iOS or Android device, using their built-in screen readers might be more instructive.

ANSI C and ISO C are the same thing, at least for the 1989/90 revision. It’s still not a particularly easy language to implement, at any stage.
While I think your points are certainly plausible, one way to overcome the filter could be removal of individuals or the concept of self which we experience. It's perhaps a bit of a lame TV trope, but something like a superintelligence could have a mind concept completely unimaginable to us.

It's all in the realm of speculation of course, with any proposal having quite a risk of anthropocentric (terracentric?) biases.
The problem isn't that Bitcoin enables hacking. The problem is, pardon my language, that our cybersecurity is absolute, utter unremediated shit. Every time a corporate PR press release uses the word "sophisticated" to refer to hackers, I roll my eyes. These hackers aren't using processor-level side channel attacks to read secrets out of memory. They're not using Rowhammer to alter encryption keys. They're doing basic things like, exploiting SQL injection. They're getting people with phishing. They're taking advantage of the fact that these giant corporations have willfully ignored every cybersecurity best practice for the past twenty years because it might cost them a few days worth of revenue to implement things like least-privilege access and two-factor authentication.

Imagine a world where banks and businesses just kept their cash out on the counter, in unlocked boxes. One day, a bunch of "sophisticated" thieves come in and start grabbing the boxes and driving off. What is the logical response?

1. Ban cars

2. Ask banks and businesses to please use lockboxes and safes

Both are solutions to the problem of thieves jumping in and grabbing cash. But I would submit that option 2 makes far more sense that option 1.
Hear hoofbeats, think horses not zebras.

Zoonotic transmission is the vast majority of new diseases. The lab leak is plausible but not the most probable (until evidence says otherwise). At the time the media needed a likely cause and zoonotic was the most probable, and confusion over this would've just caused more panic/hate/racism.
At the very least, we need to be talking about past sins, not merely obsolete implementations of continuing ones.
That is exactly as dumb as trying to make the internet illegal. It would financially ruin any country who tried it and give a significant advantage to everyone else on the planet.
I'm not disputing that intelligence agencies would lie to justify a foreign war. It's happened multiple times before.

I'm disputing that lying about aliens would be an effective or preferred strategy for doing so.

Like, a war against...whom? Is the voting public going to buy it? Cut me a break!
I presume what sets apart food in its "natural", "prepared" or cooked state is the increased level (though industry regulated) of potential contaminants introduced during separation of protein, fat, and sugar from all the other constituent compounds that may not have caloric value but have nutritional or protective effects.

I would like to find the written definition myself.
Suppose that there was a crypto-currency exchange with no assets or presence in the EU. Moreover, their TOS says "no EU residents" AND they IP-block EU IP addresses.

Some/many EU residents rent servers from AWS to do crypto-trading on this exchange. These servers are physically located outside the EU. These same residents also access the exchange's website using a VPN that says that that they're outside the EU.

[1] Is this exchange subject to the GPDR wrt said EU residents?
[2] Does this exchange subject to tax-reporting requirements of the various EU countries?

I think we should go further, into a full review of what it means to own something. However this is rather ambitious considering that the idea of ownerhsip lies at the very foundation of civilization as we do it.

But the nature of "digital property" has changed things. If you think the printing press changed the nature of human societies, just wait until the internet has existed for a few hundred years and their corresponding number of generations.

Capitalist market economies, trade-centric as they are, have evolved around a world in which all property is exclusive. However starting from printing press up to "model-T"--style mass production (the development of industrial societies) reduced the cost of copying and duplicating stuff more more until the creation of the internet brought about "digital goods" (such as all your personal data) which has duplication costs _below_ marginal (I think digital copying has essentially ZERO cost).

Digital goods provide a huge boon if we are able to stop trying to force-fit them into a system which works great for physical (i.e. exclusive) goods. Why and how did Microsoft become what it is during the 90s? because of huge savings in duplicating their software in a society that expected said duplication to have a not-negible cost.
DDG uses Bing for results I’ve heard? So they’re falling prey to the censorship of their provider.
It's the weirdest thing I have ever seen.

(I would like to know the placement of the camera on the jet. Is it exposed to the elements, or protected inside the skin of the craft?)
That may be but that doesn't change that fact that the underlying problem isn't cryptocurrency. Lashing out at other technologies because of lack of accountability in software development won't solve anything. At best it will move it somewhere else but in the end the problem stil haven't been solved.

Besides, software could absolutely be made much safer without destroying the economy. We all know that the systems that get hit are often a mess a twelve year old could "hack" by using specific search engines or kiddy scripts. Laws punishing those that run software with known vulnerabilities that end up causing society problems like these ransomware attacks do should have been made decades ago.
If one were to buy that book (or even visit the link) - some new interesting ‘data points’ have now been collected ;)

Actually no, not a wink, it’s terrifying :D D:
I'm undecided on this topic, but playing devil's advocate: Does the fact that this knowledge exists, and only in the hands of some of the largest (and most pervasive) tech companies in the world, make this information 'safer', or does it mean that it's a 'force multiplier' that increases the risk that this information will be used a) to enable anti-competitive behavior or b) be co-opted by authoritarian governments to suppress dissent.

I personally think that if I give this data to a company, and they keep it "safe" and only to support features that are beneficial to me, that's totally OK, but I wouldn't like companies reselling my mobility data to health insurers (without aggregation or cohorting) to give me a 100% customized insurance rate, regardless of how beneficial that would be.

Data that's used to distill people down to a number and value them precisely seems to have a potential to enforce systematic inequalities and further improve the lives of "haves" at the cost of "have nots".
There are issues with heat treatment in those foods that create advanced glycation end products.

Indeed, it is rather simple, all the founders and idealists of btc have been something like technology supremacist and do not want any government interventions infringing on their business matters.
They need to pretend how this is legal and a technology achievement to obfuscate the real purpose.
These are, founders getting rich, money laundering(called anonymous transactions), exchange of illegal goods( how many people pay with btc for legal things and how many use it to pay for all kinds of illegal things on the dark web?) .
Someone intelligent enough to create Bitcoin is intelligent enough to know this will be used for illicit purposes.
No way in hell did a borderline anarchist cypherpunk believe the general population will trust his system more than the banking system.
If most governments simply outlaw it, the price will have a rapid trajectory towards zero.
Bitcoin and the ecosystem are the only logic tool for ransomware transactions, there is no sugarcoating this.
Maybe they are wary of the fact that we are dangerous and they take sufficient precautions to avoid debris. But.. letting their craft get seen repeatedly doesn't mesh with that. It would be funny to see a dolphin in the cockpit of one of these things pull up next to a fighter jet and wave to him tho.
That's funny, when I search from my own DuckDuckGo link, I get plenty of results.
#3 really irks me, because they don’t check everyone’s receipts. I was stopped and asked for a receipt two days ago for a gallon of milk I had in the cart because it “wasn’t in a bag” while other people walked past.

I can understand e.g. when I buy a TV, but a gallon of milk is ridiculous and profiling.
Is the claim that cryptocurrency is providing a societal benefit comparable to the automobile then?
It's quite silly though that image search gives no results while web search gives lots of image results.
No one is organizing anything. It is all just normal community + software + moderator interaction. People read sinister "organization" into it purely because of their pre-existing conceptions. It's a big Rohrschach test and nothing more.

I say that based on looking into literally thousands of such cases, and spending god knows how many hours poring over data. My comments are based exclusively on what I know about HN—I know nothing at all about other sites because I don't have their data. But I know a lot about HN, and I can tell you that the users making breathless insinuations about this stuff have literally no idea what they're talking about. The truth is just painfully boring. (Edit: here's a detailed explanation - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27397230.)

As for why the comments in such threads get downvoted, that is easily explained by the fact that flamewar topics attract shitty comments, and shitty comments get shittier as people get politically and nationalistically riled.

And as we already see happening, when cultural values shift over time, you will definitely be judged by things you did or said decades ago. Even if by contemporary standards they were typical.
Would it be ok if you could define relations between tags in code integrating them?

Contradicts sorted foobar
Independent sorted nonempty
Independent foobar nonempty

Additionally there should be tag that contradicts everything by default.
Merit does not necessarily refer to "what you know" at the time of interview but it might also mean, "how capable you are to learn things you don't know" or "how suitable for the position in general you are". And that is absolutely correct.
Travesty is, not hiring the perfect candidate but hiring an inferior worker because of his/her skin color, gender fluidity, religion or many other things associated with this person, none of which are relevant to the position offered.
I could not agre more with this CEO.
But we don't really screen travellers. It seems Zika and chikenguya are on the verge of becoming established in areas of FL and TX. Those have animal hosts too. Seems like it won't be long until it's all over (thanks again global travel).
It's certainly possible to disprove they are alien. By not ruling it out, it's saying there is no present evidence to reject that hypothesis, which is a meaningful thing to say.

It would be trivially rejectable if we had any intel it was another country, for example.

Usually all you have is head position and hand position. You don't have torso tracking separate from head tracking and because of that doing elbow IK can be really hard. This style keeps you out of the uncanny valley.

Although, the realistic torso shape might go a bit too far.
Someone previously illustrated sceneries where the algorithm hiccupped on your data and erroneously labeled you as a pedophile and/or terrorist (at the same time!).

If you think about it, bad ML (or your words: "...ML isn't magic.") is just as bad, if not worse, than infallible ML.
I’ve checked the paper again and there is also some basic CFD analysis performed by a third author.

He had some sample images he had taken and I used them to demonstrate the basic code. The figures in the paper are the ones I generated in my sample code.
> This gives you shared memory between two threads.

This is the key point you're missing. It's not "two threads". It's to different isolated tasks/processes.

Shared array buffers are quite literally what memory-mapped files have been used for over 40 years [1]

=== start quote ===

Another common use for memory-mapped files is to share memory between multiple processes. In modern protected mode operating systems, processes are generally not permitted to access memory space that is allocated for use by another process... There are a number of techniques available to safely share memory, and memory-mapped file I/O is one of the most popular. Two or more applications can simultaneously map a single physical file into memory and access this memory.

=== end quote ===

That's all there is: two separate, isolated processes accessing the same memory. This doesn't make Javascript multithreaded in any way, shape, or form. Browsers give you a rather awkward way to run a separate tasks in Javascript and give you message-passing and shared memory as a way to communicate between them.

Had browsers been able to run other languages than Javascript, you would be able to run one worker in Javascript, and another in SadlyNonExistentScript, and literally nothing would change: you would still have the same postMessage and SharedArrayBuffer as APIs provided by the host.

I don't think they did. I searched for Tank Man, and the first result is the wikipedia article, followed by nothing but articles about him and the Tiananmen Square Massacre. The images section seems to be the only one that's acting weird, because if I search for "Tank Man China" it shows a bunch of pictures of him.

Wow I didn't realize this, but it appears to be true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSNBC

"Microsoft divested itself of its stakes in the MSNBC channel in 2005 and in msnbc.com in July 2012."

I thought their Edge browser was still promoting links to MSNBC, but looking at Edge now, I see the links are to MSN.com which is a completely different thing and actually a Microsoft news portal.

Interesting the news channel is still called MSNBC though even though Microsoft doesn't have any ownership in it anymore.

The "problem" here is that a market for infrastructure bugs now exists. The birth of a market isn't a bad thing, though. Furthermore, the market hasn't created the bugs, but exposed them! This exposure is a net benefit to society because the bugs have value that predates the advent of cryptocurrencies. It's just that before cryptocurrencies the value was hidden and only unlockable by nation states in times of war. Far better for infrastructure to be continuously under attack and strengthened via ransomware than to completely collapse in battle.

That was just an example, there are many other things the CPU can do that will generate a fault (for example, trying to execute an illegal instruction).
Not uncommon. I know of companies in the transportation industry that contract through the DoD and hire ex-DoD people specifically for the DoD contracts. They know how to speak the language and get deals done.

Edit: To clarify, most of these contracts, you have to bid for. But if you don't know how to speak DoD, you're going to have a much harder time.
Right, which is an implementation detail to some extent
The people who are OK with this kind of thing -- "But nothing bad has ever happened to anyone IRL" -- are obviously not part of a minority ethnic/religious/sexual orientation/gender group. This kind of technology is already used to do harm in China. Those of us in those groups don't have the luxury of "waiting to see if the nightmare becomes real" because of some of us would be in the crosshairs, not potential bystanders.
There is no fraud here at all. No rules were broken.
Every time I see posts like this or about Taiwan I'm happily upvoting. I'm a big fan of the Streisand effect.
I have to agree. thebulletin article lays out the evidence pretty clearly unlike this one.
If you think the problem is merely Facebook, Google, or Apple, then I think you are underestimating the amount of data and who is processing it. There is an entire industry of companies you have never heard of that are thinking up ever more creative ways to put data together from various sources, identify it, correlate it, and then sell the 'insights' to whoever wants to pay.

At the very least, at a bare minimum, I think we need legislation that covers how this kind of data processing happens by third-party companies and we need to provide a way for citizens to at least see what data has been collected about them and what 'insights' it has generated.
Openshift is one
Yeah, but I think most people would think there would be a very very low chance of succeeding in this crazy endeavour.
I'm the author of the boilerplate mentioned here if people have any question about it, thanks for sharing! I've had the same struggles personally when building my web app so that's why I backported some my code into this repo, the defaults with Phoenix are great but there's a long way to make it kind of usable for real users.
Maybe for the consumer showing them more dishwasher information is helpful, but how could it be better for the company paying for the ad? The chances of somebody going through all the work of buying and installing another new dishwasher seems nonexistent at that point.
My theories for why the clear ramp up for disclosure starting in 2017ish:

- The US government has been studying this phenomenon for years and has recently managed to reverse engineer the technology to the degree it has real-world applications. To actually explain how we achieved those feats, it will be necessary for the public to understand where it originated from, since a lie would be obvious.

- There's some really (REALLY) bad news to share, and this is part of a rollout plan needed to be able to deliver that news in the way that would minimize it's net effect on our society. (For example, we're in a zoo. And we've hit some tripwires and are now no longer allowed to develop technology X, Y, or Z.)
I think creating a currency outside the reaches of politicians is the point, come what may. That isn't to say ransomware isn't bad, there are other obvious ways of stopping ransomware.

The bigger point is that a financial system should not have a central authority who can limit access to it. Some cryptocurrencies have gone further and built privacy into the transactions also.

Not yet, but it might. Early cars were noisy, slow, finicky and far more polluting than cars today. They're only as useful as they are today because they were allowed to evolve for a hundred and twenty years.

Banning Bitcoin because it's used in cybercrime is analogous to banning the Model T because it got used in a bank robbery.
I don't by hypocrisy argument because I don't believe that personal virtue is particularly effective or enough. You need smart regulation to change behavior.

Enact significant carbon taxation with carbon tariff (to prevent carbon export) and direct the income from taxation to poor people so that the effect for the poor is net-negative (it still changes their habits). Then Bill Gates can fly all he wants and CO2 emissions go down.
