Why do we complain only when it's done to children?

I'll never have an open mic installed in my house (alexa, google etc...)

Yet it seems the generation of young engineers that built these things sees nothing wrong with them. Why? Maybe, because they had helicopter parents and were chaperoned and supervised 100% of the time during their childhoods.

They have grown to see surveillance as inherently benign, because during their entire childhood they were surveiled by well meaning adults.
Sure you can. Write some code that gives students the ability to turn off the surveillance. Distribute it.

Not only does this stop the surveillance, it also brings to light the issue and those who may be abusing it.
Haha, it ran in the family. His brother ran Rio Tinto's operations, I think it was in Africa, and he would constantly be receiving gold watches and other gifts in the post, which he diligently sent back.

I think in that day and age, you were raised with this kind of Platonic education in how to use your power responsibly. One downside of increasing social mobility and introducing more of a meritocracy is that we haven't introduced a replacement for the humanistic education which instilled those ideals in people.

Edit to add: It does go the other way too. I know of someone whose dad was Rothermere, who owns the Daily Mail and perhaps some other newspapers. He was pulled in by the master of an Oxford college shortly before his son graduated, and told (with a nod and a wink) that he would be wise to continue his funding of various scholarships, since they knew he had another son who was nearing university age.
i absolutely love this answer, and we need more people who think like this. props to you friend. much love, and much support. lets spread awareness to these poisoned minds.
I don't think so. Healthcare just isn't a politicised issue in the UK in the same way as it is in the US. If Corbyn had won you'd probably have seen a lot of objections to the massive public spending on furlough schemes and the like, but pretty much everyone in mainstream UK politics is onboard with vaccines. And there's much less of a tendency to pick a fight for the sake of picking a fight here.

Not sure how this comes into the question.

There has not been a communist regime on earth, according to Karl Marx's definition.

And China is a capitalism country... Ask any mentally stable US citizen visiting China, if they tell you that China is in any bit less capitalism than USA, they probably are trying not to offend your American Exceptionalism.

The fact is most videos are unpopular, so they don't have a very high bandwidth requirement. Those that do have a high bandwidth requirement are the popular videos that will be seeded by more nodes in the network. Typically this popularity is brief, so as the popularity fades, nodes can switch to hosting other content without a dramatic uptick in bandwidth usage for other nodes. The system works as long as users typically seed approximately the same amount as they leech.
And if it is, so what? Plenty of things are illegal around the world that shouldn't be. In some countries, homosexuality is a crime. In some, atheism is a crime. In some, ingesting harmless substances is a crime.
I would say, rather, that a hundred people editing one article amounts to so much editorial oversight that it makes articles not enjoyable to read. You can't put anything someone might disagree with in a Wikipedia article; it puts your edit at risk of being reverted. Still, I enjoy the facts!

In the event of an invasion or blockade the nuclear-free policy would be relaxed as needed.

It is incredibly difficult to imagine a scenario where, say, China launches a naval invasion or blockade of NZ but is not already at war with our allies. In the latter case subs would engage their navy long before they reach NZ waters.
I reported crypto scams targeting a spacex audience many times over the last week. Reported as misleading/scam and do not recommend channel.

Would refresh the front page and would get another scam in first position. Either Youtube is using me as unpaid labour to detect scams because its automated systems are rubbish or their systems are very broken. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they count reporting as user engagement and promote even more shit my way.

Having paid for premium/red/whatever youtube since it was available to avoid advertising I am seriously considering if it is worth continuing as a lot of tech/edu youtubers are duplicating their content to other platforms.
maybe, but if not, and (hypothetically) if it could solve the problem of carbon neutral energy and therefore halt global climate change, destruction of Yellowstone as a 'beautiful place' could well be a price worth paying in the long run. i don't think it's likely though, fortunately for Yellowstone!
Not quite. In curried languages functions often only take in ONE argument in and return ONE value out. That simplification means the language can only accept the latter form (e.g. foo(a)(b)). Surprisingly this makes the language more powerful not less by unifying all functions to one shape.

For example this allows you to write methods that only take 1 input and 1 output type arg and handle all function cases with any amount of arguments. e.g. in Java/C# you typically have lots of types/anonymous class shapes to define different function shapes to represent lambdas/functions.

e.g. C# delegate syntax (Java has a more verbose way to do this last time I checked)

delegate T Action<T>();
delegate T Func<T>();
delegate R Func<T, R>(T firstArg);
delegate R Func<T1, T2, R>(T1 firstArg, T2 secondArg);

Java has things like Consumer<>, Supplier<>, Function<> etc. If you want more than a https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/function... you typically have to define your own template that's not standard.

However in curried languages all use cases typically are handled by one form and the compiler does the mapping for you (e.g Haskell, F#, etc).

type Func<T, R> = T -> R

The compiler translates a method like foo(a, b) to foo(a)(b) and has certain compile tricks to avoid intermediate allocations if you're specifying all the args at once.

In practice it means writing a LOT less overloads to deal with all the different argument length cases defined and a lot less "Function" types to consider. Instead of an overload in Java for example with Function, BiFunction, etc or C# with Func<>, Func<_, _>, etc you just write the one or two and chain it.
Lower standards because they need more $. Buyer beware, no accountability, short term thinking. The marketing-advertising bubble is perhaps starting to pop.
"money is created" doesn't mean what you think it means. The definition of "money' used by central bankers isn't the same definition which is used by regular folks in a common sense manner.

Take a look at the balance sheet of any of the big public banks. The assets on their books (mostly loans) has to add up to the equity on their books + liabilities (mostly deposits). If they didn't have all those deposits, what would they use to plug the hole? They could borrow money from elsewhere, but it would be more expensive and less sticky.

I am actually acknowledging that bitcoin script can (only) represent a single iteration of a larger program. I acknowledge this and claim that this makes it not Turing complete, contrary to the claim in the article.

The NTSB's attitude towards safety has always been that data from accidents should be used to improve systems and processes in order to minimize the possibility of further similar incidents in the future.

This approach has a much better track record than looking to assign blame to the driver and insisting that in the future the human simply needs to act more perfectly.
You should give some thought to the moral argument you're making here. You believe it's okay to fake that the letters you send out are handwritten, because

> our service 1) helps people and 2) can never cost them net-negative.

That's not much of a justification, is it? What other means can you justify on the basis that you believe the service you offer is such an incredible force for good? If deceiving customers is okay, is outright lying to them? Selling their personal info on to other businesses?

If someone's going to hire you to represent them in a tax dispute with their county government, one presumes that they will be expecting you to represent them truthfully, right? That you wouldn't misrepresent the true value of their home, or, for example, try to pass a protest filing off as having been individually prepared, but actually have automated the process. Doesn't your initial contact being deceptive rather undermine your credibility as someone who will act honestly and truthfully on a customer's behalf?

The fact is pretty much all businesses believe that the service they offer helps people and offers their customers a net value. That alone is not a justification for bending your ethics.

But when the entire way your business 'helps people' is that it helps them to shift their tax burden to their neighbors, kidding yourself that your unsolicited commercial mail is not really junk mail and devoting enormous ingenuity and effort to misleading your prospects are probably the least of your ethical concerns.

The GNOME devs sound like total asses. I went to the ticket linked in that post and then checked the Tweets that the GNOME guys didn't like. I actually thought for a second that I ended up linked to the wrong Tweets because nothing looks wrong with them!

This is not the time for the GNOME devs to be so hostile. People have been upset with the direction of GNOME since version 3. They're basically ensuring that people will jump ship now.
What I don't understand, is why we need so many articles explaining git and its elements? It seems like these posts are very popular and occur frequently on HN. Either people love revising their knowledge on git, or as is my suspicion, git is a tricky and unintuitive piece of software.
I'm a bit bewildered that there have been no so far successful efforts to condense/revise git into a more developer friendly experience from the outset (and that doesn't include writing more 'secrets of git' posts). Just an observation.
No. Fidelity to the book is surprisingly (to me) high. Definite five star movie for me.

“One per district” is 225, “all popular” in contested districts is, like, maybe 70?

Smart voting does not create new popular candidates. It’s a way to concentrate the 5 % they can access (or 2 %, if badly mismanaged by publishing the list too late) in an efficient way.
>In followup, the advisory board member in question, evidently not such a stick-up-the-ass authoritarian as NASA’s decision makers, was dismayed by the revocation not the exuberance.

Yep, I did a quick Google too.

Full quote:
"I learned she had lost her offer for an internship with NASA. This I had nothing to do with nor could I since I do not hire and fire at the agency or have any say on employment whatsoever. As it turned out, it was due to the NASA hashtag her friends used that called the agency's attention to it long after my comments were gone," Hickam wrote in a blog post Tuesday.

Hickam also shared that he is "certain she deserves a position in the aerospace industry and I'm doing all I can to secure her one that will be better than she lost," and has "talked to the folks that had to do with her internship and made absolutely certain that there will be no black mark on her record."
Uładzimir Karatkievič, Ears [of wheat] under Thy sickle

I was supposed to read this at school, because it's a seminal work of Belarusian literature or something, but I somehow managed to avoid it back then. So I've decided to give it a try now. And... I just couldn’t finish it.

It's a book about nobility. And I just can't associate myself with the nobles, with their rules and ideas about life.

E.g. there is a situation when Aleś starts arguing about politics; he says some things that irritate his classmates, and he knows it. Then three classmates find him alone, tell him some things that irritate him. And he starts a fight, because honour or something. And he's supposed to be in the right here.

I just... it's just so different from my worldview. They way they act, the way they think.

Ohran Pamuk, İstanbul: Memories of a City

I just can't finish this book. It's just... I don't know, I don't feel compelled to continue reading? It's just a collection of memories, with no real incentive to read them.

Also, I find it difficult to empathise with the grief about the ruined empire, because for me, ruined empires are a good thing. So, a large portion of the book's sentiment is lost on me.
I wish the video was online... We tried another vendor's NIC (don't want to name and shame). That NIC did kTLS offload before Mellanox. However, they could not retain TLS crypto state in the middle of a record. That meant we had to coerce TCP into trying really hard to send at TLS record boundaries. Doing this caused really poor QoE metrics (increase rebuffers, etc), and we were unable to move forward with them.

Because people will die. Software engineers who, say, work in the airline industry don't do this either (they also probably use ada or something like it).

I'd also be willing to bet a significant amount of money that an engineer that works on something like soft drink bottles moves a lot faster than one who designs bridges.

This is interesting, I don't remember seeing more than trace amounts of “nazi/fascist material” there at all. Sure, someone has probably thought that the world needs another copy of Mein Kampf, or has had a real important story of how Jews did 9/11, and maybe these freesites are still (partially) available after a decade or so (I am not at all bothered to check, to be honest), but general amount of such loonies has definitely been at the usual level of any decently sized internet community. As for Freenet forum systems, I can only remember a prolific Frost spammer who was either a persistent troll, or a mentally ill person, neither of which is unfamiliar to experienced internet users. It seems to me that some mental inertia has made you continue the list of “offensive content” with “nazi/fascist material, etc.” after you've mentioned “child porn”.

What I don't understand is the word “exposed”. Let's take Mein Kampf, for example. I am sure have hit upon it on the internet multiple times over the years. I am sure anyone can find its text in no time, even if their native country banned it. Still it never occurred to me to start reading it. It would really be a joke, and I have nearly endless list of better things to read. I guess I was “exposed” to Mein Kampf, so what?

I think there's sort of three broad categories here:

Narrative "emerging" because the level of risk, broad array of "ways to fail" and/or simulation complexity enables players to tell the story of their playthrough in an interesting way. (See: 'boatmurdered', Kenshi).

Narrative "emerging" out of inter player conflict and politics in large multiplayer games. See guild politics in PvP-with-consequences focused MMORPGS such as Lineage II (at least back in the day, it's a bit of a different game now), and EVE Online. (This sort of narrative blends with the first as well, see: http://www.wirm.net/nightfreeze/part1.html)

Narrative "emerging" as a result of very intricate procedural generation that actually does create logically consistent histories and conflicts in a single player world. (See: Dwarf Fortress and Ultima Ratio Regum). I guess things like GPT generated dialog belong here too, but that hasn't really achieved the "logically consistent" part yet.

This article seems to exclusively talk about the first one.
Let's talk about Germany, to give one example. In that country, the top court can outright declare political parties illegal, if it believes that they constitute a threat to the democratic order. This was used against the Nazis, of course - but also against the Communist party.

So, ironically, under the current interpretation of 1A, communists have more freedom of speech and association in US than they do in Germany.
I am taking data from Google search page, it claims it took it from Our World On Data.

It's a pretty common way to tax property.

All a town or county is looking for is a somewhat equitable way to split up the bill for the total tax income it wants to collect each year. All that matters is that every property's relative value is reasonably fairly assessed, and the tax rate is then set based on the amount of funds the local government budgets, with the portion each household pays being weighted based on assessed value.

All that happens if an individual homeowner argues down their appraisal is that everybody else's taxes go up by a bit.

If everybody successfully argued their house was 10% overvalued, all the assessments would go down, the tax rate would go up, and they'd all be right back where they started for tax bills.
They don't have to be exclusive but you'd obviously want to do the more cost-effective one first.

> Ads is a stable revenue stream for these content creators.

Ads are a revenue stream mostly for the platform e.g. YouTube itself. You can have a look at this[1] or any other "how my YouTube channel makes money" video to see that's the case.

In-video ads, on the other hand, are indeed a significant revenue stream for creators, but those have nothing to do with the platform and everything to do with the single creator.
