I’d argue that #2 is good, since it offers much more privacy than scanning in the cloud. This is based on reading and understanding the technical summary and paper linked from there.
Gaming and nudge theory[1] in general is an interesting concept that I expect to have increased discussion in the coming years. On one hand, you have instances like this article where gamification is viewed in a positive light; on the other hand, companies like Robinhood or loot boxes are currently being scrutinized for utilizing gamification elements.

This isn't a post for or against them, but rather acknowledging the ethical concerns and how we determine what is "okay" for gamification. If we use these methods for health, education, etc., it is presented under the guise of "helping" an individual receive the respective benefits. BUT, one will likely be able to argue the same aspects for things like personal finance and video games.

They were the FIRST to have 2 computers? How can we even keep accurate historical info about computer ownership?
This was never about protecting Children it seems. This was about the ability to create and install the infrastructure for the mass surveilling of people by smart device.

Hashes can be created for anything on a phone. And hash collisions enable the "Near match" of hashes (Similar items).

Lets pretend.. you use your face to log in to an iPhone, and there is a notice out for a certain person. If your face matches the hash, will you be part of the scan? You betcha.

Charging Outrageous Prices for NFTs
The one question I always get asked, is how much to price my art NFTs for? Hard to say, so I created this tool to help our user plan and price out their entire NFT collection drop so that they have a better idea of what an outrageous price is versus something more reasonable, but still profitable if they sell out.
But you obviously don't have to, rather there is no moral or material requirement that you do so.
Idk. These are 5 random games. I've played 4 of them and would recommend 3 of those 4.

Dark Souls got me through a rough patch so this article is essentially a non-sequitor. If they're going to extrapolate on a very focused study, is it healthier to address the therapeutic aspects of interactive media in general?
“Running was invented in 1784 by Thomas Running when he tried to walk twice the same time”.
The problem isn't the idea of CASM, it's that what happens when they start scanning for "misinformation", or whatever else they want to come up with at that point.
There is a lot of speculation about things that haven’t happened in that comment.
IANAL, but my understanding is that the time of discovery rule is only for certain civil matters, not for criminal matters (though plenty of serious crimes lack any statute of limitations). This would imply that if the government wanted to sue Ankrom for the cost of returning the sign to its original state, they might have a case, but they can't throw him in jail. Of course doing either would be a bad look, so it probably doesn't matter.
I find Doom extremely relaxing for me (except when I get frustrated with platforming or stupid puzzles in Doom Eternal), and usually after I finish playing I go straight to sleep and do it like a baby.

On the other hand games like Fighting games keep me widely awake and it takes me quite some time for the adrenaline to settle down before I can sleep.

Hearthstone is kinda in the middle of the road between the two examples. It largely depends on what happens and how much RNGesus screws me over the matches.

So yeah the game doesn't need to be calm to make me relax. I guess what works best for me is something that puts me in flow state without requiring too much of my brain power.
Actually to go into the realm of "no code" you've got to face up to an asynchronous world.
This is also exactly how I felt when I first watched "The Godfather: Part 2". There was just so much left out, and so much of extreme significance was only slightly hinted at (just take the scene where Michael realizes the betrayal!). If you only stop paying attention for a single scene, chances are that you will not get the plot. That not only makes you completely immersed in the movie, it also makes for very satisfying rewatches.
We did not - good idea though!
Primarily, you just look at this as a cost of the person's salary.

$10 / person as a standalone fee seems very different than...

$X,000 / month salary + benefits + $10 / month for a service that helps them get more done with their time that you're paying for.

Totally agree about guest contributors though. IMO ClickUp.com has the best pricing model of the bunch for this type of thing.
Once government agencies are given approval from congress they typically have very little oversight from that point on including from congress. Its why we get abusive behavior from so many of them.

The ban won't make encryption disappear. You can still have it. But if you're found using it, it's a felony.
We can take that discussion if and when that happens.
Doing so would create a positive that still doesn't pass Apple's human visual check against the (blurred) CSAM content associated with that checksum, and if it somehow did, it would still then also have to occur at qty.30 or more, and they'd have to pass a human visual check against the (unblurred) CSAM content by one of the agencies in possession of it. It's not possible to spoof that final test unless you possess real CSAM content, at which point you don't need to spoof that final test and you'll end up arrested for possession.
>which would unilaterally banned E2E encryption in entirety

It did not do this. The bill was essentially asking for search warrants to become a part of the protocol. If you're only solution to allowing for search warrants to work is to stop encrypting data I feel you are intentionally ignoring other options to make this seem worse than it is.
I know that there's an xkcd comic about this but I think that the best solution would be to create a new text based format with a new extension ie. "bsv" - better separated values. This new format would either be much stricter than csv or have a compulsory header that defines the file's format (like the text encoding, separator character etc).

If it is stricter, it would have one type of field separator that is not commas since some locales use them as decimal places (I'm looking at you, France) but something like '|'. It would insist that dates were iso8601. It could define how fields can be escaped and quoted - although I would prefer if quoting was kept to a minimum. The format should also allow for comments i.e # so that people can comment their datasets inside the same file.

Alternatively or in addition, it could have some header lines:

1) A header that defines the encoding, separator, decimal separator, quote character, escape character, line ending character, date format ...

2) A header that defines each column's name

3) A header that defines each column's data type and formatting

4) A header that defines each column's unit like m/s or kg - ok, this is a bit of a stretch but it would be great to have.

or some variation of the above.

Fundamentally, this bsv format would still be csv and most programs would still be able to read it with the parsers that already exist or be quickly adapted to read it. It could still be easily edited by hand but the metadata would be present.

I suspect that this is just a pipe dream because people would find hundreds of ways to break it but toml took off and that didn't exist so long ago.
Yea by reading about this whole scandal I learned about perceptual hashes, because the whole time I kept thinking "can't they just alter one pixel and entirely change the hash" because I was only familiar with cryptographic hashes.

It's a huge, huge, huge distinction.
I am not going to comment on substance, but the style of never capitalizing first letters in the sentence makes it way harder to read.

Anything written by hand will be screwed up. Chances are if they're writing it by hand and it's badly formatted, they're not using something that has input or output validation anyways, and they're probably not going to budge from whatever workflow they're using.
It has been a long road and an even longer road ahead. The system needs some modernization and we are just a piece of the complicated puzzle.

If that's the case, you should have no trouble answering two simple questions:

1. What do you think happens to people on it?

2. Which of those actions should require judicial oversight, but currently don't?

So far, the only answers to those questions in this thread have been 'imagine if...' tangents. I don't need to imagine strawmen, I'd like to know what is currently wrong.

Imagining disasters is how we're in this mess, I'd like to know what the actionable problem is.

Edit: why downvote?
>since the comment section quickly got mobbed by some pretty rabid commenters

In my experience, the first few comments of a post are usually pretty low quality, but after a few hours, thoughtful comments are made, and the low quality ones are downvoted. In this case, yes, the initial comments were bad. But doesn't it make more sense to just downvote/flag those comments, and allow more thoughtful responses to bubble up? There's a discussion to be had here, and it's very easy on this site to ignore the people screaming.
We're going to be working on all these things, but in the context of our network. We think this is the big differentiator from the typical players in the space who focus on analytics (like GovWin).
Our core business is enabling remote work and remote pair programming. WebRTC infrastructure is largely commoditized, and we're open to revisiting how we handle our WebRTC infrastructure in the future.

Daily is a great infrastructure provider, and moreover, the team was incredible to work with.

The reason we switched out from Daily was because we were running into bugs in the product, and weren't able to tell whether they were on our end or Daily's end. By owning our own infrastructure, this became a non-issue: every bug was ours to find and fix. It turns out most of the issues we had were bugs in our custom modifications to Electron to reduce screen share latency, but we had no way of knowing at the time. Now that we've invested in our own infrastructure, it's the path of least resistance to continue using it, but we're open to revisiting this decision in the future.

The Daily team is stellar to work with, and I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a WebRTC infrastructure provider.

> If you're using devices to make a story more difficult to follow, just for the sake of making it more difficult to follow for the "challenge", then that's stupid.

I don't know you, and even I know you disagree with your own statement. If not, the only thing you'd enjoy are media targeted at pre-schoolers and young children.

Anything targeting and age beyond that is made more difficult to follow, by design to make it more challenging than what a young child can grasp. That allowed the creator to explore deeper subjects.

Maybe you don't like things more challenging than your comfort zone, maybe you don't like more less linear depictions but do like them somewhat. Unless you can tell me you only consume media targeted at young children. Even you average Marvel film leaves plenty unsaid that needs to be infered, plenty unspoken to be felt. Non-linear narrative's to evoke a response in the viewe, false imagery, deception, feints and direct intuitional/emotional appeals.

Now those might be targeted at just where you like them, but thats admiring you like them and you agree with the approach and that it's not stupid. It's just when thing slave your preferred zone you begin to dislike them.
Yes, and if you read (and understand) the technical implementation, it certainly does offer more privacy. But yeah for people who don’t, it often seems much worse.
How many ISP choices do you have at your place? How many cell phone providers are there where you live who are not an MNVO? How many mobile operating systems are there? This is my point. You think you have a choice in the matter, but when it comes down to it you really dont.
Ask HN: What have you learned at your current job?
I work at company where our entire infrastructure is running over k8/eks and it just works. Never had any issues related k8. It makes scaling services super easy as well. As simple as adding more pods.

With few lines of code you can automate your deployments.

There is a scary (gross in my mind) story that reports on some dystopian pre-crime Minority Report Sheriff targeting kids.

Looks like the court case is in process, though not sure why court didn't immediately shut it down pending trial given how (to my non-lawyer brain) this seems that plaintiffs will almost definitely prevail given clear violations of multiple Amendments.

From the reporting:
"Over the span of five months, police went to his home 21 times. They also showed up at his gym and his parent’s place of work. The Tampa Bay Times revealed that since 2015, the sheriff's office has made more than 12,500 similar preemptive visits to people.

These visits often resulted in other, unrelated fines and arrests that further victimized families and added to the likelihood that they would be visited and harassed again. In one incident, the mother of a targeted teenager was issued a $2,500 fine for having chickens in the backyard. In another incident, a father was arrested because his 17-year-old was smoking a cigarette. These behaviors occur in all neighborhoods, across all economic strata—but only marginalized people, who live under near constant police scrutiny, face penalization."

Yeah, this is the same as Wi-Fi routers all being admin/password. They finally started assigning them random pwds. Why isn't secure by default chosen?
> If you want something better than CSV to take off...JSON doesn't...

Agreed. I don't ever see something better than CSV taking off (having worked on this problem for better part of a decade) unless you could get to the point where you've got a largely similar notation, but a richer semantic grammar powered by something like Schema.org.

In other words, a strongly typed CSV with a community backed schema. I think GPT-3 and the like are a big wild card here. I can't describe how, but I expect in 20 years we will be using something better for storing data and will look back and saw "CSV used to be the best but then GPT-N _____________".
Surely the easy way to check if a name is on the list is to book a flight in that name. If the booking gets rejected, it's on the list.

Apple's management can also be prone to hubris. This is also very much a case where the engineers were left unbridled without any proper check from marketing and comms, I suspect because of the extreme complexity of the problem and the sheer impossibility of putting it into layman terms effectively.

3D outlines around objects are an increasingly necessary effect in the visual language of modern 3D video games because increases in post-processing and shader tech have made it such that it's hard to identify individual interactable objects in 3D space in increasingly photorealistic environments. the article shows some examples of how this can be used, including the The Last Of Us "rough outline of figures that you can sense behind walls" effect.

IMO unlike the opening drawing, in a disk-based B-Tree index, Leaf nodes should not have "next" pointers, one should instead go back up the Tree node(s) (iterating upward when necessary) to find the next Leaf node. Next pointers are a duplication of information violating referential integrity within the index, and will be invalidated when an index update causes a split or merge rebalancing operation, creating concurrency issues.
Portions of it expired. Large parts did not.
I think it's reasonable to expect the FBI to not expose this. I'm with you on Elasticsearch being too insecure but you're talking about secret government info. If they put that on the open internet that's a serious failure on their part and they'd have fucked it up with another tool if they weren't fucking it up with ES.
FWIW I have a cousin who is involved in traffic planning in a different city in Ontario and said the eventual Hamilton response to the calming cones was fairly silly; they painted bump-outs on the road, which has very little traffic calming effect compared to physical barriers like cones or curbs.
I could use Elm as it is today for at least a decade without updates, since it's very stable. Anyway, I am sure there are very competent people from the core devs or from the community that could make a new leadership if that happened.

Bingo, that's the problem with censoring misinformation.

What needs to happen isn't censorship... I think more metadata needs to be provided with "news" information that gives cryptographically verifiable authorship, information source, date of publication and other items.

This would allow people to use their standard logic for determining the veracity of information to be used.

Yes, it needs supporting software and processes, but it's a better way to go than just trying to remove everything someone thinks is "false".
Intuitively, this seems like a reason to quit coffee. But study after study seems to suggest moderate coffee consumption (under 6 cups daily) is associated with less Alzheimer’s, less Parkinson’s, dementia of any sort, better memory… not to mention other nice things like lower incidence of diabetes and longer lifespan. Super interesting all around.
