According to page 2 of the 2000 court sentence [1], it seems that IGR were absolved:

However it seems it's not clear if it was a clerical error or something more complex than that.

Literary journalism, like non-fiction, do much more than mere fact-dumping.

And what we now call "bias" used to be called "perspective".
> Breaking DRM for personal use should not and cannot be illegal

Agreed, including fro other people's personal use.

Companies should be allowed to protect data by copyright or DRM, but not both, i.e. encasing something in DRM would remove its copyright.
This seems like an attempt at misdirection. In a lawful society, the reason for surveilling suspected terrorists is because you actually suspect them of terrorism, not because they're currently your political opponents.

If you ran with a gang in your 20's, that doesn't give the government permanent access to a wire tap when you start doing social justice advocacy in your 40's.
You're confusing risk of infection with risk of severe illness. As far as I know, obesity is only a risk factor for severe illness, not infection.

It's really funny how media coverage, combined with all the conspiracy-inducing effects of a global pandemic, have made the concept of "gain of function research" into something that is somehow combinable with 23andMe's database.

I haven't been following much of the media coverage of things like this, or the social media rumor mills, but a comment like that makes it clear that public perception is going way off kilter. And that mismatch between public perception and reality is exactly what fuels bad policy in governments.

It doesn't take a calculator to realize that 14,400 seconds isn't 4 minutes. It's 4 hours.

Sizing Up Post-Quantum Signatures
Any state abiding by the rule of law, human rights, and democracy needs to provide evidence proving such allegations beyond a reasonable doubt and enabling the victims to challenge such administrative decisions in court. If Israel wants to drop the pretense of democracy, so be it. But human rights and the rule of law are universal obligations under international law.
One of the most promising advances in genetic engineering is Gene Drive, a way to quickly spread a gene throughout an entire population. With mosquitoes, there is a gene that prevents the newly hatched females from flying and they subsequently die off.

Might the same technique be used for known agricultural pests? Why spray a cornfield with pesticides when we can naturalize the population of the Corn Borer Moth? Target the species that are specialized towards consuming the crops we produce. Just imagine how much pesticide won't need to be sprayed because the main pests no longer exist in the area?

I think writing a parser for English laws and rules could be useful. Similar to how a compiler parses source code into a tree structure. Could allow more rapid analysis of laws once everything is parsed out. If the tree is correct then you could do some wild things.
This is the perfect example of such technology being used for the good. Despite the misleading title, these organisation are probably terrorist groups. The wonderful thing about palestinian terrorist is that they can rely on well meaning fools to white wash their image for them. In this case it's the presumptously named "front line defenders". There are no shortage of such people who will twist facts and ignore evidence and mislead the public in order to create the image of Israeli opression and palestinian victimhood. Their goal of course is to help the palestinian people but their methods are reprehensible. Ironically it's the palestinians who lose out the most by being kept in a state of perpetual victimhood. It's curious to note that the average life expectancy in the West Bank and Gaza improved dramatically during periods of Israeli occupation. Calling out human right abuses is all well and good, but to do so selectively is in fact abuse itself. I have rather generously described such people as useful idiots, and i honestly think this is true for most of them. But the obsession of so many organisations like this one on Israel, the only Jewish country in the world, to me hints at anti semitism in their upper ranks.

There Meat Come a Scandal
One of the articles posted to HN recently covered this by talking about faking the accelerometer data to make it look like the phones were being randomly moved, so I guess the bot guys are already on top of this, from both sides of the war.
Why wouldn't it make much difference? An email from a self-proclaimed white hat who spins scary tales of security vulnerabilities is an obvious attempt to alert and frighten. They purposely withhold information regarding the nature of the "breach" and suddenly start demanding payment when questions are asked regarding evidence and scope of exposure.

This isn't a good Samaritan who wants a little quid-pro-quo. This is a classic extortion technique. The more we shame and expose these actors, the better. I think Troy did a great job posting about this topic in the manner that he did.

It's kind of weird to have this experience over and over again of being told I'm supposed to care about something that I find trivial.

Yeah, I assumed 23andMe would do stuff like this. I don't care. I'm not outraged. It doesn't bother me when people make money. And this doesn't strike me as a particularly surprising outcome.
Copilot is quite good at substituting variables and names. The question is whether you can find the claim for another company.

Ye, well but you can call in sick the same morning as you were supposed to go to work.

Depending on the work, trying to fill the vacancy with off duty workers can be rather important. Lets say a folding bridge operator or something.

Devs on the other hand almost never has work that has to be done right now, every day. With proper planning the "almost never" is just "never".
Conventional produce tastes like shit after eating organic exclusively for over a decade.

I'm sure there's a lot of fraud and fuckery going on, but just going on the experience of consuming this stuff minimally prepared (rinsed/peeled) on a daily basis, conventional is disgusting. IMHO it's so bad it explains why many people hate fruits and veggies. It's flavorless and often has a chemical aftertaste.

This is in California which I've come to appreciate is a privileged place in the organic produce department, so YMMV.
It sounds like there was some payment involved in that case.

The OP's statement included "it is illegal to voluntarily help someone who is not family", which would make it illegal to help a friend move furniture or paint their house (without remuneration).
IMO, it comes down to the support and ecosystem. Even though it would be nice to have something more open than Broadcom's chips, the corporate/foundation backing of the project, and the broad adoption after those first few revisions (coupled with the fact that Pis are still some of the cheapest options around) means that someone can come into the ecosystem blind and not have to spend hours or days just figuring out how to get an OS running on the darn thing.

And then the fact that you can still run a supported modern OS on an almost 10 year old board... that doesn't seem to happen with other SBCs (most are basically shelved after a couple years), and you end up running ancient OSes on them or obscure community-driven OSes that break in a hundred different ways.
I am now off popular social media (Facebook, Instagram). The void is now replaced with other forms of social media (Reddit, Hacker News).

Reddit, arguably, is more toxic than my version of Facebook - but it is strangers being toxic, and zero FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) which is prevalent on Facebook and Instagram.
Meh, I sent them my spit with a fake name and a temp address at the UPS Store.
Not sure about vegetables and fruits but in Netherlands, you can feel the difference in quality between organic meat and non-organic. Better taste, better texture a more beautiful color.

How do i know that? I used to grow at my grandparents in eastern europe where all food was organic. We were to poor to afford any chemicals :)

1) The fact that Steam OS is Linux-based and mostly running games through Proton (Wine), I doubt we're going to see any console-grade "it just works" experience for a long time.

I've been playing Forza Horizon 5 during the weekend on my gaming PC. If I look it up on ProtonDB, I'm greeted with a red "BORKED" text for "won't start or is crucially unplayable". Forza Horizon 4, which is now three years old, is given a "Silver" rating. Looking through the comments, it varies between "Single player runs great", "Having minor issues" and "Won't run at all".

2) I think you're way overestimating the amount of money people spend and the amount of titles they buy. I'd wager that most people do not care about massive sales that much and they have a handful of titles they will play per year. And of course, there are the people who just buy FIFA / Madden / whatever when it comes out and play it for a year.

I think the main reason nobody else picked up these chips was because they're not really made for general purpose computing. Rather, many of the Pi engineers come from Broadcom, so it was probably more familiarity, price, and partnership that were the main drivers for it getting popular on the Pi.

When I was a graduate student, a paper that I read while randomly reading stuff in the library really changed how I looked at things in this area - I found a copy here [1] and the DOI [2]. The author is Bruce Ames, creator of the "Ames Test" for carcinogenicity [3]

The core arguments in the paper are that plants don't exist to serve as food for us, they exist to reproduce. Plants grown in a stressful environment spend significant metabolic energy in generating chemical defenses against predators e.g., molds. Some of those chemical defenses are carcinogenic. Plants grown in less stressful (pesticide-controlled) environments generate less of those chemical defenses.

So, roughly synthetic == bad, natural == good.

Yes, this is a 1990 paper and perhaps it is no longer true and I'm certainly no expert in this area (I'm sad to see that a paper that influenced me so much at the time lacks significant citations).

That is not correct.

It was actually a distributed campaign with multiple hackers with different methods but the main leaks were due to the following problems:

1. Bug in some Apple services allowed unlimited login attempts

2. Bug in Apple backup restoration function allowed bypassing multi-factor authentication (or was it confirmation email?)

This is all from memory, I might be wrong about the details. Anyway, that Apple initially blamed this on weak passwords and now phisihing clearly demonstrates what kind of PR circus this field is.

Just think about this: when Apple closed these holes (silently), attacks had been going on for 1-2 years. Towards the end there were fairly cheap and reliable hack-my-exs-iphone services on the darknet.
From a person not much involved with it, but from the same city. For a short period, there was a massive fear around it, and the risk of mass contamination was in the population day to day talk. You see, the Goiânia incident was almost a year and a half after the Chernobyl incident, which just made the situation worse.

As soon as the tests came back and most of the population was ok, most of the fear in the people and medical professionals alike began to fade away.

After that, most of our worries began to switch into waste management and what to make with all the soil and things that were contaminated in the process
Would you like to have your DNA being used to manufacture a virus that only kills you/your family, based off DNA structure some 23andMe customer bought from them? Right now 23andMe might be the "good guys" like what Google used to be, but for how long?
How abstracted-away does it have to be? Say one of the credit agencies bought 23andme, and your genetic predispositions became just one factor in a new "life score".

Do we honestly believe the law would consider the whole score tainted and unusable for all the named purposes? Would it have teeth to do anything about it?

Furthermore, it's easy to end-run around it like they've done with car insurance. Instead of raising the rates of privacy-conscious drivers, we'll raise everyone's rates and then offer "discounts" to people willing to submit to tracking. There, perfectly legal!

If VSCode scanned your files to feed Copilot, it's not just Microsoft who can access that, but anyone using copilot. Every single file in every single machine that ever ran VSCode would potentially be at anyone's grasp.

Allowing this to happen would've been incredibly stupid. But it's worth investigating further.
Organic does not taste or look different. If the produce looks shabbier it’s because they were less selective about throwing pieces into lower grades or it has been on the shelf longer. If milk tastes different its the “grass fed” part not the organic part.

People have magical thoughts about what organic does. Roundup and synthetic fertilizer do not affect flavor.
I have no idea how HN does it (I hear this "dang" guy plays a big role) but HN shows the possibility of a largely positive and edifying social media IMO.

I have maybe needed a break from time to time though. I generally don't take that break but maybe I should...

EDIT: I know we're not supposed to comment on downvotes but it was very funny to me that the first vote I got on this comment was a down. Like, "HN sucks! How dare you suggest it is good! And worst of all, no evidence but your opinion. Utterly worthless post"

Love this place. Never change.
Most green/eco labelling is more or less fraudulent. Not necessarily because the orgs themselves participate in fraud, but most of them simply don't have the capacity to actually ensure the alleged conditions are met by producers.

I've read many a book (recently, "The Unbanking of America," which was recommended by another commenter on HN, or "Veils of Distortion") where the author did not have nearly enough material for a book, but perhaps had enough material for a New Yorker article. So think of the New Yorker as saving the world from material that would have been even longer if it were in a book.
Please don't rush from a provocation in an article to complain about it in the threads here. It produces reliably uninteresting discussion.

Here's what to do instead: leave the provocations where you encounter them, and look for something interesting to discuss—that is, something which activates your curiosity, rather than indignation.

2021 WHO Health and Climate Change Survey Report
At least in EU and its member states, there is a lot of research and testing of actual foods ongoing. So no matter what the farmers say, the actual testing of the foodstuff is an independent method of verification.

For example one can find this for countries
https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.2903/sp.efsa...

I failed to find simple numbers quickly though, but for example for my country, it seems domestic is clean, EU produce okayish and non-EU food suspect.
Supporting freedom of speech means supporting people's freedom to say precisely those things you find most reprehensible. I think Aaron Swartz was principled enough to recognize that, so the allowance of any "hate groups" which might exist was, I hope, something he had in mind.

Freedom of speech is something that is good in and of itself. A situation in which the government ruled out some ideas from being discussed or developed is one I would find very unpleasant.

This should not be put in quotes - as it is not a quote.

Enforcement those agreements is obviously complicated.

Well this could be a huge security issue. Can lead to potentially Copilot-surfing for company secrets in a new form, since Copilot is already leaking secret API keys and copyrighted code.

The dangers of just regurgitating what has been read are unreal, since with good enough targeting you can read the data someone else wrote and expected to be anonymized. It's like huge global RAM of code, you just need to figure out how to get it to point at the right addresses.
You're correct. But, clearly the model of government oversight isn't working out so well, either.
