I'm not sure "legitimate public debate" is warranted in this case. Too many people who are not qualified think they have "done their own research" and come to conclusions causing real harm to other people.

Even MDs are not necessarily well-suited to make expert opinions on pandemics and vaccine technology and such. A lot of MDs are qualified to diagnose conditions and recommend treatment and prescription medication... that doesn't mean they should act like they know more than people who specialize in infectious diseases.

The place for "debate" of the effectiveness and safety of vaccines is peer-reviewed studies, not YouTube videos.

Social Justice. Your very existence as part of society affects others, therefore anything that you say or think must conform to the standards of Social Justice the Platform has deemed necessary. If you don't like it, go found your own Platform.
Awesome! Finally.
I think they should ban all anti-Facebook content as well.
Facebook is a good company and never makes mistakes, to think otherwise is simply dangerous for the whole tech industry and must be removed.
I agree that landing pages should be content packed and that some serious thinking should go into them, but this rubric risks overwhelming both the landing page creator and visitor.

Often you don't know who the visitor is, for instance, and even if you did, having an answer to "what do you know about me?" might just creep people out. That's one case where "show not tell" is the answer.
> I agree, but I think at least some of the animosity stems from how the author might not have been able to do this themselves if they wanted to

What animosity? The animosity other people have on behalf of the author who has clearly said he has no beef with this series of events? If the author wanted to make algorithmic changes like the VS code team have done, I'm sure they would have been more than happy to discuss this on the open source issue tracker (which is very active).

> just hurts to see after having been burned by Apple's private APIs blocking legitimate app developers from doing something Apple will release next cycle themselves,

The big difference here being that the app developers are happy that this has happened, and they could have attempted to do this work because even though the APIs are private, the source is available and they readily take pull requests.
Height issue tracking is GA
I didn't say 50%.

Simply, there is some level at which an attacker has enough computational power to pull off an attack, and such an attack is fought off by the legitimate participants in the network having enough computational power to make the attack unfeasible. Whether that's 50%, or even lower as the section you linked to suggests ("someone with only 40% of the network computing power can overcome a 6-deep confirmed transaction with a 50% success rate"), or higher as you claim, that point exists.

The service of securing the network, as you put it, consists solely in having enough non-malicious computational power to make attacks unfeasible. Right? Or is it something else?

If it does, then my argument stands. In order to be secure, Bitcoin needs the legitimate participants of the network to out-compute the illegitimate ones. Whether that's a one-to-one race, or a ten-to-one, or anything else, doesn't matter. The euphemism "securing the network" means nothing other than amassing computational power.

If it is really true that attacks from attackers having lots of computational power are infeasible, and that it's not necessary for the network to have lots of computational power in order to "secure the network," then, quite simply, proof-of-work Nakamoto-style mining isn't necessary at all. You can do something like Stellar or (as I understand it, which I admit is not well) Lightning where transactions are confirmed and protected against double-spend by defining the problem in a different way that doesn't require mining. If that approach indeed works, then the objection in TFA stands - the spec should not encourage proof-of-work systems.

Frankly, given that we're talking about decentralized identity and not about currency, and there's no double-spend equivalent in proving one's identity (I think?), it seems like Nakamoto consensus should be totally irrelevant here. Maybe inflationless, politically-neutral money is a great thing to have as a form of money, but what makes it a great form of decentralized identity?
I think that to risk a lawsuit over copyright infringement is an opening that could be interpreted as kryptonite, if I upload the Justice League movie to Youtube, Warner wouldn't hesitate to sic a lawyer to Google's offices demanding the takedown, not hurting you, but them.

> What's your position on the current third shot issue? Should we listen to the scientist panel that said no, or the government that said yes?

We should listen to ourselves. If we don't have enough information to make an informed decision, then study and acquire that information. No one is responsible for you except for you - with the caveats of children/dependents being not responsible for themselves.

What Youtube or any other internet information says is irrelevant until you decide otherwise.
The "I am trustworthy" part is totally taken for granted and too many supposedly trustworthy people lie straight to the public face just to maintain the narrative they are pursuing.
I’m not blaming those places. I’m suggesting they are being chosen deliberately by the actual perpetrators, (which is really just speculation I admit).
Not like you want to make people work too hard, but a person who works a bit will be motivated, self-selected and "drawn in" to the situation. Rather than you working to sell them they work to sell themselves, and they are more effective at that than you will ever be.
Censoring discussion in an environment of coercive mandates. Anyone working for Google - how do you justify this? You have great options out there you know?
I woke up this morning to discover that LinkedIn had blocked my profile in China
The US has defense agreements with at the very least Taiwan and the Philippines and more distantly Japan. Allowing China to claim the South China Sea would seriously hamper the US' ability to meet the obligations in those treaties. Not to mention that ensuring products produced in that area are able to be shipped through the South China Sea is absolutely essential as is evidenced by the effects of the current chip shortage. If access to TSMC products was suddenly cut off by China it would cause massive issues across the world and especially so in the US.
Banning dissenting opinions has always been a great thing throughout human history /s
I'd say that if HN got as big as YouTube or Facebook, then no, it shouldn't be moderated against wrongthink.
Ir hardly "cannot be discussed". I've participated in several online discussions about it, and cited several major news outlets covering the story. The White House is openly investigating the topic. Defending free speech is very important, but crying wolf about censorship is counterproductive to the cause.
Maybe it's time for a new SOX moment.
tl;dr warehouses, factories and other places similar in size to a campus can create their own wireless network based on their 5G stack (vs WiFi, LoRa, 4G) to communicate between nodes, usually things like weather seasors on warehouse rooftops, robot telemetry on factory floors, etc
Even python's parallelism is subpar because objects passed across processes have to be pickled. This both takes time and limits the kinds of objects that can be sent across processes (no lambdas, for instance).

"not all forms are disadvantageous" <- this! Some of the most talented and happy people I've ever worked with were "on the spectrum". Our society has a reflex to make everything different a disease instead of acknowledging and celebrating our differences.
In python there is nuance to the term threads.

Threads in python will run in the same python process and use only one core.

If you want to use more cores you need to use more python processes.
Well, unless you’re living under a rock this has been exhaustively discussed when this feature was launched.
The best the scientific process can do is establish facts about repeatable processes. Even then, it isn't carving facts in stone, but a case of increasingly accurate approximations of reality.

The reason that it is impossible for mere fact to end political dispute is that facts are only one element in policy. Values are more important in the long run and facts can only be used to improve policy around shared values.

People don't agree on values and they never fully will.
For basically such a redirect The Pirate Bay got taken offline - many times.
I remember Dameware being one of these. I have the same history as parent poster, used to do that whole scanning and turning hosts in to pubstros. Edu and NTT hosts were like gold for us.
The damage to the "value of the content" is done anyway even if you "just" "remove blatantly false content". Also instead of an arbitrator of truth you need an arbitrator of "blatantly false" which is exactly as impossible and comes with the same risk of abuse of power, bias and all that.

Anyway you missed the point where I assumed the death evens out aka try make an argument that isn't based on emotion an "backed" by numbers we can not know.

>Also, I would love to see what common ground looks like with anti-vaxxers. I don’t think they are willing to give an inch on this, but willing to be proven wrong.

I'm not an anti-vaxxer but I'm p sure the common ground for most of them would be to let people decide. Anti-vaxxers who want to remove pro-vaccine information to prevent people from dying form the vaccine seem to be rather rare. As far as I know most are perfectly fine with anyone voluntary injecting toxic and dying. They might be wrong on almost everything but that doesn't mean common ground can not be found.

Also by picking the furthest away extreme position to proof no common ground is possible is kind silly. We wan common ground for the majority on both sides not with the extremists.
> I don't have enough disk space to archive every video I've every watched.

You don't need to. It would be enough to allow users to download all videos by default as a sort of local cache, have settings for max cache size and cache policy with LRU by default, and also support pinning.

Heck, doing what Google already does with Google Play updates would already be a step up.
And that's assuming you even get a formal contract.

I don't have one. Never have, and neither has my wife.

When you're not explicitly working as a contractor, it's quite common in the US to have no explicit contract of employment. You're hired, you're on the payroll, you have a job description, but the only things governing your relationship with your employer are the policies of whoever hired you and whatever laws are relevant to where you and they are.
The problem is people who thought there were "clear cut issues". Now there are more issues that are considered clear cut. Disagree? Bad for you.
Hey WA, Nik here, thanks for the suggestions. Showing the date ranges is a good idea, and we’d also like to make what’s shown in the search results more configurable since we have some potentially interesting metadata there (date last visited, date we downloaded the full text etc.)

We do keep a fairly complete copy of the URL’s contents in the db, though we don’t currently preserve all the html or store embedded content such as images, so some formatting may be lost. Adding a method to view the stored version from the GUI is definitely on the todo list though, we want that feature too!

Being flexible and able to fit into a lot of workflows is high priority for us, if you have more thoughts on how it could more easily fit into your workflow please feel free to let us know here or on the discord
Somebody threatened me with a knife about 20 years ago.
To me, seeing a Christian media outlet cover the story is interesting in itself, so I think this is sufficiently different from the MIT Technology Review article to merit its own post. However, since I don't know what kind of reach Relevant Magazine has among American Christians (and I suspect it's very little) I'm surprised to see it on the front page.
If I'm an attacker, I'm not using this vulnerability to redirect you to an evil website, but instead to inject a fake login prompt. When you go to check the domain like a good user, you'll see it's on the Apple official website found.apple.com, perfectly safe to enter your credentials on!

The ability to impersonate Apple _on their own domain_ is definitely a bigger risk than rewriting the URL or manufacturing a look-alike tag.

For a crud style app, the difference in performance between python and C++ is going to be absolutely negligible. The Python version might use more resources, and if you profile it, it might show up with a couple hotspots, but you're still going to have a responsive desktop app if it's implemented properly.

The slowdown is architectural or design based. Sending one HTTP request and not updating your UI until the request has completed fully is going to have _way_ more of an impact on the perceived performance and responsiveness of a native app.
> That way lies madness

That way lies Emacs ;)

That's the key difference between Emacs and most other editors: there's no limited API for extensions. There's a base C runtime, and all the lisp code on top is at the same level. There is no difference in access rights between a core Emacs package (coming with Emacs) and an additional, user installed package.

Of course, there are a lot of documentation, conventions and best practices to support this. And all the code is accessible.
True, that theory seems plausible too. Though there are obviously many other places w/ high Albanian populations, such as Albania.
To be more fair, there is far more violent content all over YouTube that hasn't been up for 14 years and become part of Internet culture.
This tutorial was excellent. I got everything working in a couple of hours. On CPU alone the similarity search is mindbogglingly fast. Thank you!
> So the question becomes which is more useful for determining whether or not a given phone will work in a given location. My experience is that the cellmapper data was far more reliable.

Not the case in, e.g., Bedford NY or New Canaan CT, just checked.

These are examples of suburban areas within an hour commute of mid-town Manhattan, where cell coverage is spotty (combination of NIMBY and rolling terrain).

Same story for southern coast barrier islands off Long Island.

To your point though, the carrier map claims blanket coverage in North Greenwich (S of Merritt Parkway), while in reality along North Rd there are 7 and 8 figure homes that have no cell service from any of AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon.

Lately I’ve found a quick and dirty viz for coverage is looking at a given carrier’s 5G coverage maps. They need stronger signal for that to work, so it shows the “dark” areas more easily.

On the barrier islands mapping from the carriers, you can even see effects of dunes. That surprised me.
>"I should have access ... for free."

OP never actually said any of that. You're assuming that that's what they think, when they actually might be content with a much lower percentage. Ask questions of people to get clarification, as user htk did, instead of insinuating they're ignorant asses.
How much content needs to be censored before we can talk about censorship without "crying wolf"?
Show HN: Pad is an API to improve privacy over shared information
Hello HN!

This is Atanas (twitter.com/kozarev_atanas) working with

- Dr. Chris Williamson https://williamsonchris.com/ and

- Prof. Mark Ryan https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~mdr/ Centre for Security and Privacy at University of Birmingham

on PAD.

We have released the beta of our API for PAD. PAD is a system which allows you to provide secure access to confidential information shared between two or more parties - you can share the ability to access a secret without automatically exposing the secret itself.

At the core of PAD is accountable decryption, which offers an alternative to transacting in complete openness or complete privacy. Anytime you need to encrypt and share a piece of information where the rules of who, when, and/or how that information should be decrypted and accessed cannot be simply codified, PAD can help to improve privacy and oversight of the information.

To try PAD, please complete the short sign-up form [1]. We will provision you for the API as soon as we can, but we are a small team and this is a manual process so please bear with us if there’s a short delay.

See our developer documentation [2], and our launch blog post [3] for more information. In particular, some use cases for PAD are described here [4].

Feel free to comment here and, Chris and I would be happy to answer questions.

You can follow our progress on Twitter [5], and if you want to get more involved, we have also created a Discord server [6].

Best wishes,

Atanas, Team member at PAD

Chris, Privacy Researcher at PAD

We won’t :) Linux support will probably happen first because it’s closer to mac and easier to build for, but Windows support is definitely on the list
Wow, first I've heard of it. Seems to be enabled by default too -- I think users definitely are not "clear" about it.
Ah the ol' innocent people have nothing to hide argument. Been used by bad faith actors for centuries.
It's difficult to claim that it's crying wolf in the comment section of an article by a reputable mainstream source telling us what's happening. Honestly it is a little surprising that the mainstream is even admitting the censorship is happening and not helping hide it "for the good of the people," but I guess if this article didn't appear they'd lose what was left of their credibility.
Outrage is hugely profitable.

Of course, the media eventually converged on this method after their golden goose of classified ads got pulled from under their feet by craigslist Facebook eBay etc.

I wonder how future historians will view this; in hindsight, will we be able to say it was an accident of economics that drove the outrage of today?

It’s no surprise that economically disadvantaged countries would have some subset of people taking advantage of the situation. It is no different than how the mafia takes advantage of gambling, etc.
My wife is very vaccine hesitant, and every time they make a move like this to block content or take it down, it only strengthens her position. She thinks they’re taking it down because they don’t want people to know the truth.

The only thing worse than bad ideas is the suppression of bad ideas. It’s tragic that we knew this at some point, but are going to have to figure it all back out again the hard way.
I wrote a post about this! the problem is not that there is no money, or that they don't want to donate, it's that there isn't a good way for them to donate.

Not only that human moderators are better than ML moderators, but we probably want human moderators enmeshed in the community. Having Filipinos moderate the speech of Arizonians is not going to work very well.
I haven't seen anyone argue that what YouTube has done here isn't legal. It certainly is. That doesn't make it right or good.
Not a bad idea, although I'd start with a ban on medical - pharmaceutical advertising on Youtube. Most countries don't allow marketing of any kind of prescription drug (not sure about over-the-counter though), based on the very common-sense notion that only trained doctors (with no backdoor kickback deals with pharmaceutical outfits) should be advising patients on appropriate medicines for their condition.
This fallacy of "private entity" when talking about a corporation that's more powerful than most governments is truly ridiculous.

It's okay if the East India Company enslaves and exploits the savages and mongrels, murders opponents, rigs elections, installs corrupt politicians and destroys communities; it's a private company and it only hurts stupid people! Just stop buying their tea if you don't like it, amirite? Start your own company!
i am looking for something like this but for arm64 on macos.
Covid is a serious disease, there is denying of that. But information control of this kind is far more insidious and overtakes Covid here by a few steps in my opinion.

There is a loud advertising crowd that is transparently motivated to stick it to some deniers that will welcome this and I think they put pressure on Youtube. In some form they deserve each other.

I think this behavior is just as resistant to learning, not hat I think that this measure will even net you one more vaccinated person or that it will change any position. So this only incurs huge cost without benefit.
