> In 499 BC, he shaved the head of his most trusted slave, tattooed a message on his head, and then waited for his hair to grow back. The slave was then sent to Aristagoras, who was instructed to shave the slave's head again and read the message, which told him to revolt against the Persians.

Since this was a trusted slave, the tattoo seems unnecessary. The slave could just tell Aristagoras "Histiaeus says to revolt against the Persians".
No, it’s not a good measure, but it is a useful tool for people to build support for political upheaval that wouldn’t otherwise be justified.
I'll add Stossel to a list of good-to-follows for independent takes.

Here's a video of him directly asking politicians at a city council meeting about corruption with a local developer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99IeGqIIHj4

They have since approved a project that was competing with the corrupt developer and the corrupt developer is facing federal charges: https://apnews.com/article/f7a7fdb3057548009072601729a2dc2c

Apple inc. should still ask for my consent before they spend my money. Just because they run some 'exclusive' black box messaging service doesn't mean they can pull shit like this.
I can see this being useful when you're maintaining multiple versions and forward-porting patches. Some patches only make sense up to a certain version and you don't want to merge them in the next one up.

The first OOP language was Simula. Smalltalk and C++ both adopted ideas from Simula, independently. Bjarne Stroustrup was a student in Nygaard's lab, so it is absurd to suggest that C++ "reinterpreted" something. If anything, C++'s is the more pure expression of the original idea.

Alan Kay gets credit for the name "object-oriented", not the concept. His own definition has varied radically over the years, insisting only lately on any importance of message passing, as such. Smalltalk-72 was not OO. Smalltalk gained OO features over the time from 1972 to 1980. (Message passing has anyway always been isomorphic to function calls.)

Reflection was never described as essential to OOP. It is a feature of many languages, equally useful in all.

You absolutely can. This is how many entities on the dark web function. And in fact, so do many entities on the clear web (see the RBN and its successors as an example).

As another user wrote, some db systems already can provide suggestions for missing indexes based on stats. But automatically creating them? Should all new indexes just add up (that would fill the db pretty fast) or replace prevoius ones (what about users depending on these indexes?)
Simple solution - look at all the other western democracies that don't have this problem (I really mean have this problem less, obviously there is going to be biased tabloid rags in every country).

Coincidentally, this seems to align pretty well with countries that don't have a bunch of media outlets owned by the Murdoch empire... curious.

I'm struggling to draw a link between journalism and the population being informed.
That reminds me of some dodgy locks I encountered at university. There was a gap between the door and the frame, and if you slid a knife down here, it would unlock the door (one of our tutors informed us of this, oddly enough). This was fixed by screwing a metal plate over the gap - of course, if you were determined enough, you could just unscrew the plate.
First thing I discovered is "Crash: The Short Film" – "Otherwise known as The Atrocity Exhibition, this pre-Cronenberg short film was directed by Harley Cokeliss and stars J.G. Ballard himself. (1971)"

Pretty sure it says right on their site that protonmail/vpn cooperate with law enforcement when "something obviously illigal" is claimed. They have thousands of cases they give data on every year. The whole "swedish court system" is marketing. If they were legitimate they'd be talking about data center black boxes, why they were funded by NSA interests, how things actually works.

My bet is this, proton can't actually afford to defend against thousands of court cases, so they comply. They can't afford for their service to look insecure, so theyre selective in divulging how much surveillance they have to comply with.
> To be honest I sometimes wonder why the US gov't doesn't put CCP/Russia on blast and make Americans more aware of this.

Because CCP/Russia have already incorporated this into their disinformation campaigns. Anything anti-china is attacked as racist/nationalist. It got so radioactive that the government had to change the pattern they used to name pandemics.
I think that's a fair assumption when the winning bird photo is ~0.25% bird (by pixels)
That's true. As a former SGI admin I bought an Indy several years ago for about 150 Euros, including the CRT which is as bulky as it gets. Now it's almost impossible to find one on eBay (in Europe at least). (I sold mine shortly after I bought it because it was so slow and took a lot of space).
So, the general rule of thumb still holds: whenever a news article’s title poses a question, the answer is probably no.
It’s the only other case I’m aware of where a phone’s firmware hides silently sent SMSs sent from its user.

At least in this Russian case, you’ll see some indication on your bill. That’s not always the case with Apple’s SMSs.

After decades of mainstream media abusing their position instead of being an actual balancing fourth power, the chicken are coming home to roost.

For me the realization that the mainstream media was not fulfilling their role anymore was:

- following 9/11, when *none* of the mainstream outlets had the guts to question the decisions to go into Iraq and all aligned to sing 'hail to the chief' in base fear of being called anti-american.

- in 2005, when the danish mohamed cartoons crisis came and went and most the American main media cowardly caved in to pressure and refused to publish the cartoons [1] [2] [3]

I don't believe there is anything they can do to reverse the trend. And to be honest, I really won't be sad to see them die the horrible death they deserve.

What worries me is that we do indeed need some social apparatus than can speak truth to power, and there isn't anything yet that I can see that will provide that: the internet style wannabe replacement (blogs, YT pundits, etc...) are just too diluted for that.

> Traditional databases don't have an encapsulation mechanism AFAIK, which is one of the reasons for impedance mismatch.

It actually does, those are views and functions.

The real problem with impedance mismatch is that SQL is declarative (you say what you want and database figures out how to get it) when most programming languages are iterative (you say what should be done).

The issue is that you have two very different languages. For one you have powerful IDE with type checking auto completion and refactoring capabilities, the SQL often is sent as a string and don't have these benefits. The various ORM are attempts to use iterative and object oriented language to access relational objects using a declarative language.

I think JetBrains is addressing the problem the right way. They added Data Grip functionality to their IDEs like PyCharm for example. What it does is that if you connect the IDE to a database and let it download the schema you get the same functionality for the data. Basically it will detect SQL statements in the string and offer the same capability for it as you have with the primary language.

At that point the impedance mismatch no longer feels like a mismatch. You basically have two languages, one to obtain data you need and another to process/present it. You can get database to return exact fields you need for your projects and even the object mapping starts feeling unnecessary.

Why data is stored in a relational way? Because that's most optimal way to store the data and the way it is stored allows multiple applications access the same data differently.

For example with NoSQL you need to know how the data will be used so you correctly plan how it will be stored. If application changes you might need to restructure the entire data.

Ultimately the data is the most important thing businesses and it stays, while applications that use it come and go.
I assume in bird photography circles, they would be more concerned with the ecological impact (which is in a way also political)
wow, great project!
I’d go a step further and declare that “informed” really just means that they’ve been presented with certain information. I myself have had a quote of mine published in a news article and it was used in a way that was the complete opposite of what I was intending to convey to the interviewer. I experienced the Gell-Mann effect first hand.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton#GellMannAmn...

“In a speech in 2002, Crichton coined the term Gell-Mann amnesia effect, after physicist Murray Gell-Mann. He used this term to describe the phenomenon of experts believing news articles on topics outside of their fields of expertise, even after acknowledging that articles written in the same publication that are within the experts' fields of expertise are error-ridden and full of misunderstanding”

In other words, when people read articles about something in their own field of expertise, they are able to pick the misrepresentations out easily. But they assume the rest of the news is straightforward because they don’t know any better and trust the journalist’s reporting as an accurate representation of what is happening.
Why don’t people trust the media? Exactly this type of consistent ham fisted reasoning that any intelligent person can see right through which obviously demonstrates an agenda.
Preventing illegal basement apartments is a hard task because they’re generally low income and need some place to live. There isn’t enough housing.

> Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan writes that "our goal should go beyond merely putting truthful information in front of the public. We should also do our best to make sure it’s widely accepted."

This attitude here, is a source of the problem by itself. If traditional media outlets would just put truthful information out without trying to get it "accepted," that would go a long way in rebuilding trust.

When you are aware of the ground situation and see articles in the Washington Post that are clearly completely false, misleading, and spinning facts with a clear purpose of advancing a narrative, (and trying to be "accepted"? by whom?) that completely destroys any remaining trust that you might have built up over the years.
> Those are present here but not the largest threat. This service apparently makes you download ~300MB you have no idea what is and SHARES it in the background. What if it is child abuse content? This isn't even a "think of the children" argument, it can have very real consequences to anyone cluelessly browsing the web unlike your usual p2p network.

HN can upload 300 MB of child abuse content to your computer. WebRTC is not required for that. Even JavaScript is not required for that, create tiny 1px images and link those to (un)desired content, they'll be cached in your browser according to cache headers, possibly infinitely. That's the nature of the web: you have very little control over your browser, unless you'll scrutinize every HTTP response which nobody does.

> WebRTC has additional insecurities and deanonymization potential like VPN leaks.

Legitimate issues should be fixed or put behind prompts, I agree with that. But issues inherent for Web should not be blamed for WebRTC IMO.
Anecdotal but my neighbor (in SF) owns an apartment building, and he said he's renting units for ~$100-200 below pre-pandemic level which was $2,995 for a 1-bedroom and $3,995 for a 2-bedroom.

I disagree. I think having an extra 3k or not is a meaningful outcome to have control over. If Alice is as smart as she seems compromised to Bob, she might just have the power of will to hold on to that extra 3k. Certainly more likely to succeed compared to not even trying.

> Presume any phone you own has malware in it, and adjust your behavior accordingly. This means putting the phone in a Faraday sleeve when not using it, so it can't communicate with a C2, putting black nail varnish on the camera, keeping the phone in another room when having a sensitive conversation, etc

This solution is of course a nonsolution. It vaguely acknowledges the problem of NSA spying yet does not offer a meaningful collective response to counter it (e.g. pushing for open source movement and technology embedded in an anti-capitalist framework/system).

“Freedom of emigration is due to the general interests of humanity. The course of emigrations being always, from places where living is more difficult, to places where it is less difficult, the happiness of the emigrant is promoted by the change: and as a more numerous progeny is another effect of the same cause, human life is at once made a greater blessing, and more individuals are created to partake of it.” — James Madison
Not surprising: unlike the press, whose main sin is misleading their audience the US govt as it functions today is both misleading their audience, actively plundering them and mostly wasting the proceeds of said plunder.
Behind the scenes, it's using QEMU with Alex Graf's patches for hvf (Hypervisor.framework) support, so it's Virtualization, not emulation. In other words, the performance is really good ;-)

Sorry for your loss. Stay strong.
Let's say I grant you this generalization (it seems like it could be true to me). Then it's not really the NYT vs Fox, is it? Doesn't sheer quantity matter? What fraction of the media (say, the stuff you're likely to see on Google News) is "left" vs "right"?

In other words, the suggestion is that the right lies outright, whereas the left lies via omission and cherry-picking to concoct stories. OK -- doesn't it matter that the left has, I don't know, 85% of the market share (that's what the tech giants endlessly blast out)?
The LA CPRA coastal master plan, combined with army corps of engineers studies on further improving the post-Katrina levees.

I'm trying to find the levee recommendations, but Biden's takeover seems to have broken all my bookmarks in the ACOE website.

Basically it's just the ipcc/ epa most-likely-worse case scenario with some local adjustments, combined with CPRA's master plan for surge reduction and (non-nola) coastal protection and barrier island rebuilding, combined with the Corps' recommended levee improvements.

You end up with lessened storm surges and raised levees that can match sea-level rise to whatever hight is feasible for the look levees, and back-out the years from the projected rate of sea level rise.

And if they do the wall across the Orleans land bridge (preventing storm surge at the Rigolets and chef's pass), it's actually a much higher number. But that plan is on the back burner for now.

One issue with the current formulation is that “Browser Superpowers” sounds like a property of my browser. That creates dissonance with “Web App.”

Anyway superpowers is a high bar. It invites skepticism given your vested interests.

yes, those were common in college in the early '90's, I wouldn't be surprised if they could be found and refurbished. I think Brother was one of the more popular brands.
But an ever growing population isn’t getting shelter (or very poor shelter), and as the climate crisis gets worse (and the wars of the world worsen) I would expect that on the global scale an ever growing population would also go hungry. These people will start migrating to the places that don’t have famines and wars. And if the current border policies persist, these people won’t be welcomed by the government. This means that you will have people rebelling against a government which is denying them food and shelter.
Oh really? Where are they doing it, sounds interesting.

I had similar ideas for what a regulator can do to protect our consumer rights (including right to repair):

- All devices should come with unlocked bootloader. No exceptions.

- OS updates should be mandated for a certain period. Especially security updates.

- Standardisation: An open standard API for device drivers should be mandated for the hardware components used so that system developers can easily create support for any OS, and don't need to resort to reverse engineering.

- Copyright restrictions on software code should be valid only for a certain period and become public domain (open source) after that. (It should definitely not be 75+ years of copyright that is currently mandated for films and books).
Not added, but maybe I'll add something extra to make it more clear. I have a backlog of interesting case studies I'm trying to find time to share.
I do think renting has a downside compared to owning, but that due to the high prices and resulting very long timespans of paying back credits, buying is getting riskier.

Owning has lower risk than renting, but you have to buy to own and when you can't buy outright, then there is a phase where you are still exposed to a risk of losing your home.

And keeping 24 months of expense is a good idea, but if I want to buy a house, I want to put down as much as possible. 24 months of expenses is about 80% of my savings. And the majority of people do not have any kind of savings at all.
I’m saying those laws should be made. I get that that is not the case presently. Pretending that a network with 2 billion people and the ability to influence national elections is the exact same thing as the phpBB for your Dungeons and Dragons group and it’s fine if there’s no difference in the way they’re regulated is either naive or disingenuous. Laws are not immutable facts of nature that we have no control over. We can create or change them as needed when something new arises that is harming society.
